It took a few seconds but, slowly, eventually, Annie peeked out from between her fingers at Hiro. There was a pause of hesitation and finally her hands fell away. One hand took the cookie from him with a shy smile, her chin tucked toward her chest and her eyes peering up at him. "An-nie," she repeated softly. Her mouth opened, as though she intended to say more, but she stopped suddenly.
Glancing over her shoulder, she watched Nathan walk away. A glance at Peter, then one back to Nathan, and her mind was made up. Still holding the cookie securely in one hand, she made her way to the elder brother. Once she'd reached him she gently took one of his wrists in her free hand and tugged slightly, turning it so his palm was facing upward. She peered up at his face and offered him a smile... then placed the cookie Luke had given her into Nathan's hand.
