[ That is the slightly defensive tone of someone who has been called out on more than one occasion by his little sister. Sometimes for being a romantic cavalier, sometimes for maybe pushing their revenge scheme too far. Asking too much, when they've already lost everyone else that matters. He turns and she's there. Poking his shoulder timidly, her face blanched of color. He almost asks what transgression he's done this time, for her greeting to sound so mournfully awed.
[ His brotherly instincts take over, for what else can a big brother do. Sorry, random person, but this redhead is more important to him than anyone else in the room. Possibly on the planet. He drops his plate in the direction of the table — and either it'll miss or it'll land near the edge safely - and wraps Wanda up in his arms tightly, murmuring little soothing whispers in their native tongue. Providing whatever physical and emotional support she needs until he pries whatever terrible story it is out of her and goes on a little revenge spree.
It's alrigh, little one, I'm here. Nobody is going to hurt you. ]
