[There's a tiny blush, just a moment of turtle-like head-ducking.]

Family, sort of.

[He probably wouldn't have noticed a month ago, but he does now, and he smiles.]

What sort of family member, then?

He believed in me.

[That, first. Before she did it, before she believed in anyone.]

Like a step-brother maybe.

[He frowns, hands still while he considers that.]

I guess I've never believed in someone before. What was it like for you?
