She had been hoping that he would show up, deciding it was only a matter of time, considering that Bishop was there, too. But as she began to realize things, she also realized that it was just wishful thinking. She had no way of knowing if he was even alive. She didn't want to hurt herself, so she stopped being naive and quit looking out for him, though she still had the habit of scanning the horizon every now and then. Maybe that was just a general paranoia thing.
But then suddenly he was there and she couldn't be happier, unsure how she had gotten lucky enough to have both of her brothers at her side again. She was afraid that they would end up leaving again, but instead of thinking about it, she would stride over and, making sure she was in Leo's line of sight, brush up against his side. She didn't want to startle him, aware of how he disliked being touched, especially if it was abrupt.
Since Ninazu was doing most of the explaining, Cosette simply stood beside him, head against what she could reach of his shoulder. Damn him and his height.
