For a moment, she just blinks slowly. "Worried...? Oh, you meant- ah, no, silly! No, us us will always mean the same thing it has for a while now. Just... I wonder if it's something more, sometimes." For a few seconds, she looks like she wants to say something else, opening her mouth and starting to move the hand that isn't holding the duster, but after a couple of false starts, she shakes her head. "I don't know how to explain it, I guess. Just this feeling that... Papa means something different to me than Rentarou means, or what Molly means, or even Jasmine. But they're all people that are really important to me, and I... I guess that's what I meant by family? Sure, you and me, but what else beyond that?"

A hand threads through her hair as she thinks. "It's probably a little too anime-main-character of me to say something like everyone is important, or that I worry about your father about as much as mine these days, or something like that. I don't want to just make those bonds carelessly, but..." Her eyes catch on the picture again, and she hesitates, just a little bit of a storm in her eyes as she glances back to Lily. "Family is a wider word than I really know what to do with."
