Shrugging, Theo lowered his lasso slightly. If the others didn't think an immediate capture attempt was the best idea, then he wouldn't make any such attempt. At least the unicorns hadn't bolted yet, despite spotting the men; things could definitely be going worse.
They could be going better, though. Theo didn't have an apple either, and he didn't know the first thing about taming animals. He decided to just stay still and quiet, hoping that he could at least keep from scaring the unicorns off, even if he couldn't actually contribute to capturing them. Still, quiet, and lasso at the ready. If the unicorns showed any signs of bolting, he'd try a throw; otherwise, he was going to leave the whole unicorn-whispering thing to Harper. (And Adam, if Adam decided to take a swing at it.)
Theo's just going to stay still and quiet to avoid startling the unicorns. But if any unicorn bolts, he's ready to throw a lasso at it.
