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*

*Darnell will accept Xan who assures him it's okay to tuck him into a pocket or the satchel or whatever if he wants when others are around. HB will make some phone calls, and the group will sit and quietly chat. Eventually, the CPS worker will arrive, but so will a BPRD agent who's able to say the right things and show the right documents to be able to take custody of the children from Darnell, who readily signs them over. Zili especially will get hugs and a kiss and an admonishment to be good for HB and her brother.*
