Molly accepted Zac's comfort and quieted down (though she didn't stop crying entirely) at Bunny's reassurance, but she didn't really seem to start calming down until Nico was wrapped around her.

"Yeah," she mumbled, and pulled back to wipe her nose on her sleeve. "In a second." She got up and stalked over to Bunny and Jack in the middle of their half-hearted not-really-a-scuffle.
"Hey," she says firmly, crossing her arms over her chest. "You just got half eaten by an evil bug and then set on fire. You gotta sit still for like an hour at least." She lifted her chin, challenging him to argue. "I know, my parents were doctors."
