Diego had never been particularly close with Ben before he'd died. He hadn't really been particularly close with anyone other than Mom when he was a kid. Sure, he'd liked a few of them well enough - Ben and Klaus and Vanya mostly - but he'd never been really close. He'd always had too much of his own shit going on.
So he's not really sure how he's supposed to react when his dead and previously very shy and kind of too-gentle-for-this-shit brother is suddenly appearing without Klaus and making a sarcastic comment. Staring, he opens his mouth and then closes it, eyes still wide, shakes his head as if to clear away a brain fog, clarifies to himself that Ben is still sitting there kicking his feet and telling him Five's here too.

"Huh."
Very eloquent.
"That's, uh. Wow."
The man has a way with words.
