Molly, if she were thinking about it, would feel she had showed admirable restraint thus far, her hands pressed over her mouth so she wouldn't scream or sob and distract Nico or Jack or anybody who should be focusing on Bunny. Which had the added bonus of giving her hands something to do so she didn't get in the way trying to cling to Bunny.
But once he cracked a joke at Jack, that was when her brain decided he'd be okay, and she quite unintentionally let out a sort of keening half-sob, which she followed up by dropping to the ground and bursting into moderately hysterical tears.
He was okay. She could get upset and distract people now without anything bad that might happen being her fault.
