Ghosts, right. Lup hasn't had as much time to get used to Ren's particular delivery of objectively horrifying situations, so she returns Taako's look with quite a bit more alarmed confusion there for a second. What are the chances the ghosts just wanted to like, hug her? Has his previous interaction with her revealed any helpfully reassuring facts about wherever the fuck it is she came from? Doesn't look like it. Guess there's nothing for it but to make her stay on this island way better than whatever creepy homeless sitch she had going on before. The enthusiastic helping is a little easier to accept, like comparatively, and actually pretty endearing. Lup kind of watches in surprise for a moment before rolling with it, just making sure to get the heavier stuff like bowls and rope tucked away before Ren can get to them.
Her question is another curveball and Lup is a little glad Taako is fielding that one. And shit, they did kind of play a stupid long game of hide n seek with a reality-consuming eldritch horror? The thought is so dumb and out of left field that she can't help letting out a shocked giggle. And every time they lost, a planet paid for it. That's not actually funny at all. And there's something about the way Ren worded her question, like she doesn't know what families do, like as a general concept. Which, that can't be right. They didn't have a family besides each other for a long time, but even they sometimes hung out with other kids who got to go home for dinner at night, and they conned plenty of families out shopping or whatever. And there was the time with their aunt.
"You don't get up to a lot of people watching, huh? Or were there just not a lot of families around to watch?" She has the uncanny feeling she doesn't wanna know the answer, like maybe that's a door that doesn't need opening - ghosts, weirdly sheltered orphans and all - but that's not how Lup lives her life.
