Looks up at him through wet-wet lashes, opens her mouth to greet back, but just sobs again, shoulders shaking. In a bit, manages a shaky "He-ey."

Small, resigned sigh, then he scoops her up into his lap. "I know, kiddo. It's not fair."

Another sob, and her arms cling to him as she buries her face into his shirt, just crying for a while. "It's not... not about fair... Everybody..." Shaky breath. "But he was... He created everything. Somehow... he's not supposed to be gone."
