As a somewhat traditionalist person, Mahiru takes a view that Children Are Children and should not be exposed to violence plus require caretaking. Their delusions are Kenny accepted her help i.e. lots of offscreen laundry and meals (...elephant dorm lyfe) but in the onscreen threads themselves Kenny demonstrated a really impressive degree of self sufficiency. Good for him! He was even calmer than her sometimes. She didn't really directly hear that he had that canon immortality issue, so she was just so proud of him for staying even more calmer than her. Supporting her at the body discoveries... RIP me.
Of course Mahiru was always ready to scold him for being crude, but however age inappropriate his South Park dialogue was, he was rarely directly berating a person while she was alive. (Later he had strong words for Nui and Clash but by then she was watching from the bunker, making her disapproval milder.) Dipper's own "death", caused by her, was proof that the trauma train would happily run over small children as well. So even though she might have disapproved of his costumes and crossdressing in standard nonsumptuous circumstances, people were getting "murdered", they had bigger things to worry about, and if he was going to have coping mechanisms, she wasn't going to bother him. It also made her happy that he was one of the only people who was particularly friendly with Aya.
After a couple days he "died" so they got to spend more time together. She was really afraid that he was going to be severely burned and his relative safety in the shower was such a relief. Go, Mysterion. Protect your city. Children shouldn't have to be at physical risk but she seriously trusts him to do that shit if he's so confident with that rifle, he's better at it than the likes of Levi.
