He still creeped her out. She didn't fully understand why they were following him, why they were trusting him. She kept glancing at Daddy, kept touching him to reassure herself that he was there and real, but she did not ask about the bleeding man of bone and armor and violence haunting his eyes. Daddy would never let anything happen to them, so it was probably fine despite her nature wanting to be as far away from him as possible.
She leaned into her sister, too, touching her neck and her shoulder and spreading sweet kisses of affection. Zoe and Daddy were everything, Mom too, but there hadn't been quite the same connection as with Daddy. Maybe it would change though? Or maybe that was simply normal. She only stayed at her twin's side and as close to Daddy as she could be. Right where she belonged.
It felt like it'd been so long since she'd seen her mom though, and as soon as she caught that familiar figure she was rushing forward to greet her, brown eyes glittering with love. "Momma!" She hadn't even noticed the skeletal man's son until she was pressed against her mom and rubbing her cheek against her for comfort. Wow, she had missed her smell. That felt like such a crazy thing, but she did so much and she was realizing just how much right now.
"Momma, we couldn't find you! Or Daddy," she said softly to her, tears brimming her eyes at the remembered fear and the relief she could now feel reunited with them. "Please don't leave us again."
