Suu kissed Papi while they were on the run (chapter 10) because she needed moisture, and Papi had just spilled the water bottle over herself.

Suu's actions in chapter 9--playing with the children, protecting the girl, showing concern--were mimicing Papi's earlier behaviour. Naturally she's developing a similar personality to her main role model.

However, it's the emotional displays that aren't immitation that you should look to as evidence she's actually feeling them, and not just mirroring expressions. She seemed genuinely impressed by Papi's concern for her, for instance. So it would seem she's choosing to learn from her.
