He only has a moment to study Delight's expression, but he decides it's not good somewhere around the tail end of his words. All he can do is blink and watch him retreat for a few beats, a little stunned and a little worried. Something must be wrong— or Delight's lost his mind. Or both.
He's not sure why he complies anyway, slipping anxiously into the den and lingering just inside the entrance until he notices Delight's daughter— the girl he's taken to calling sunshine. She's only barely awake, but she smiles when she sees him and stretches out. "Mmmmmmmmhiiiii...." She smacks her lips and yawns, then settles back down to drift off again.
The greeting settles his nerves some, but he's still convinced Queenie will come bite him any moment now. He presses up against Delight a little tentatively— he's allowed to touch him now, right?— and gives him a questioning look, but he doesn't say anything yet. There's a tension in the air that doesn't sit right with him, but he can't quite tell if he's imagining it or not— maybe this is normal and fine, maybe Delight is just making a very bad decision for both of them. Or maybe he's finally decided to team up with Queenie to kill him. In front of the children, though? Hmm.
