Katie smiled, Malachi was a good guy and she was very relieved that her impression of him hadn't been wrong. "Thank you, Malachi." She said with a fond smile as she walked with him towards the next house, Tru in her arms. She let the little boy down for a moment, not wanting to embarrass him by carrying him around. She took his hand though. The last thing they needed was him running off and woulnd't that just endear Malachi to her if she let tru get away from her.
"I'm happy to be your sister, Malachi. Hopefully you'll think of me better then the one you have." She was teasing of course. She didn't want to offend his family...or that family he had left.
