Little sister
#baze’s expression here is just… #i’m dead
Question from those of us who can’t read faces: what does his face mean?
He’s looking fond, mostly, and maybe a bit proud of her. The lips pressed together plus the upward squinching of the muscles under the eyes usually indicate a sweet, affectionate sentiment, genuine for its understatedness. Her response being a wide-eyed smile indicates reciprocation and appreciation; she is moved by his assessment of her, and clearly, by his acceptance of her as a friend/relative/intimate; she also seems a little surprised by it.
I don’t actually quite remember this bit of the movie in any detail so I’m not sure if there was more in context, but the caption indicates this is in conjunction with the time when he designated her “little sister”, and clearly meant it, so she’s being moved by that.
