[That does give her pause. Luci seems taken aback for a moment, but in the next it's perfectly natural. Of course she's worried about her father. They seemed to really love each other, despite Xanxus apparently forgetting about his own kid for a while. But he's making it right, and apparently doing a fairly good job of it if Avidita is worried about her father.]

[Luci can't explain it all, of course. Avi doesn't need to know what Luci is doing for Xanxus and now Squalo's sakes, and she might not understand it or how fucked up it is. So she crouches until she's on Avi's level and puts her hands on both of Avi's tiny shoulders.]

I'm taking care of him. And Squalo. Our boss won't touch him. [And if she did... well, Luci doesn't know what she'd do, but she feels like she'd do something. And it wouldn't involve words.]
