[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.]

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.]
