[Zetta doesn't need to see Riley's face -- she knows how he's feeling. That isn't her concern. What's surprising her is Shaun. He's the one facing them, and this is the most openly emotional she thinks she's seen him. She doesn't know how to describe the emotion on his face, but it's almost pained, almost heartbreak.
This is her family, but it makes her feel like she's an intruder, anyway. She looks away and to Ferran.]
[Ferran takes the kick with a stoic smile, satisfied at having provoked it because driving Zetta to violence is a win in the strange private game he plays.]
[Riley is finally letting go of Shaun, and Zetta turns her sulking attention away from Ferran. It means she sees the faint tear tracks on Riley's face, and her heart twists. But at the same time, he's smiling, uncontrollably so. He doesn't actually break contact with Shaun, leaving a hand on his shoulder. Shaun has returned to his usual mild, stoic expression, and Zetta takes it to mean it's time to get back to it.]
Now can we go somewhere and talk like a normal fucking family?
[Shaun's lips twitch up slightly.] Yes, of course.

Remarkable to think that when you first left the vault you thought you'd lost your whole family. And now you have all of us again, one way or another.

Zetta scowls.] What, are you trying to make me cry?

Is it working? Tears of joy would be just the thing to turn this into a perfect Hallmark moment.
