"Just a tad." Miri sighs, removing her hands from her face so she can take in the fact that poor Matilda gets to deal with immediate proximity to two Garrots. She's smiling, and it looks like she might've been laughing and crying!
"The next thing I'm gonna get back is me!" The Garrots boisterously proclaim this in unison, but one of them does have the compassion to outstretch an arm a few feet behind Matilda in case she stumbles again. "And, y'know, everyone else. We're all gonna be okay, sweetie!" Garrot is very nearly shouting this, so it's clearly an attempt at reassurance considering everyone thought they were all dead.
"If he gets like this for too long, do me a favor and just teleport him into a swimming pool, okay?" Miri's rolling her eyes, clearly an expert in dealing with her dad's utter nonsense. But she looks away for a second, and when she looks back to Matilda, she smiles. "And... thanks."
For offering to try and rein in Garrot? Thanking Miri for sharing the story? Or putting her life on the line daily against unknowable monsters for the sake of the world? Maybe all three???
