[She thinks about pointing out the fact that of course no one back home would ask about it because they didn't want to die, but instead her eyebrows shoot way up.]
What? Dude, that's fucked up. [...] You don't look like one, okay? That person was just nuts.
[Hey now. Bruno wouldn't kill someone over that. Some eager members of his team might get a little happy with their fists/feet and sharp objects of their own volition, but nobody would die. Bruno has some morality.]
I'm sure it was just a matter of...cultural differences.
[Doesn't make it any less rude, but you know. Bruno also must be a Rational Adult about these things, too. Plus, you know, what is being reasonably angry about stuff? What is that?]
[Bruno's anger is a quiet thing until precisely when it's not. Then watch out. But right now it's very hard for Bruno not to smile. If there was any doubt Izabel is part of the family, that'd certainly be pushed aside.]
I appreciate the offer, but I believe they got the point.
[As with most of Bruno's overt expressions of emotion, using the word overt to describe his surprise is a little generous. Still, it crosses his face just briefly the moment she wraps her arms around Sticky Fingers' neck, feeling the slight weight around his own neck. It's a thing he wasn't expecting, but okay. We're in there. Sticky Fingers wraps a protective arm around her.]

[Not that...she's familiar... But no, how dare.]

Want me to haunt them? I'll totally haunt them. "Entertainer", really...
[IF HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANGRY ABOUT IT, SOMEONE HAS TO BE.]

I appreciate the offer, but I believe they got the point.
[Bruno certainly didn't hide his offense.]

[She snakes her arms around Sticky Fingers's neck instead, resting more bodily against him.]
Then I can stay like this for a while longer.
[Happy ghost.]
[late night action]
You can stay as long as you like, stellina.
[late night action]
Thank you, though. I'm happy to hear that.
[late night action]
[Because thank yous are never necessary when it comes to family. These things should just always be a given.]
