Xan: *just snuggled in Zili's arms, happy for everyone*

Zili: *little grin* Darnell? Will you take Xan too? *snuggling the doll*

Darnell: If I take him, who will protect /you/?

Zili: */pleading/ look* Please? At least for a while? Please? *please, she doesn't want to find out you've been ripped or whatever in half...*

Darnell: ...all right. For a while. Then I'll make sure he makes it back to you. Deal?

HB: In the meantime, she'll be safe with the BPRD. *gives her a grin* We take of our own.

Zili: *looks at HB* Xander too?

HB: Yep. We don't separate family.

Zili: *smiles and nods* Thank you. *looks at Darnell* See? We'll be fine. You could use his help right now. Take care of him for me, okay? *snuggles Xan and kisses his head* Will you protect him for me? I don't want him to be hurt or killed. Connor or Ari either.

Xan: I'll do my very best! *hugs her, or as much as he can*

Zili: Thank you, Xan. *kisses his head again and will hold him up to Darnell*
