[ Just like with Zib's sister, this.. isn't quite expected on Ange's part. Even him ruining it at the end there doesn't really matter, because he's already saying so much more than Ange expected him to say. Actually saying that he's proud of the boy.
Even if his dad doesn't exactly seem ideal, it does seem like he's at least got this part of parenthood down. Enough so that Ange can't help but feel a little jealous. She'd give the world just to have her father or her mother - her actual mother, rather than her aunt - tell her that they're proud of her, especially with how much she's changed too compared to when they last saw her.
It's a whole mess of jumbled up feelings, and it makes Ange go quiet. She wouldn't want to interrupt right now anyway, not when the guy just said something that could be so important to Zib.
Instead she just glances at Zib, like she's trying to gauge his reaction here. ]
