[ There's a certain distance that exists between them that
is because she's wearing a rather large hat on her head--
but also because she doesn't really understand how to be around other people yet. For all of her life she was in the company of one person, if he could even be called such, and everyone else... came and went. For various reasons. Mostly just the one reason.
At his questions, her arm moves and her hand lifts almost automatically as though to reach for him-- but she stills it once her mind catches up to her body and she remembers that it's not good for her to just use her empathy on people without asking. So, instead she extends her hand a little bit toward Peter and tilts her head at him in an unspoken question.
Empathy would allow her to feel that he's angry-- but it won't explain to her why he's angry. Still, it's one of the only ways she knows to communicate. ]
