Hushed Willows and you've been doing what, exactly?

OH BB TAMBO <3

She was far enough from The Crook to not have heard Tambourine's hasty exit, which was why his sudden appearance near her startled the Beta.  The short chocolate female jumped a bit at the sound of his voice and it took a couple of seconds for his words to even register.  Hey kid, she greeted with a relieved sigh.  Banner never felt unsafe when she was among the willow trees of her home, but something about nighttime wanderings always made her a little edgy.

Another squeal cut through the mild night air and she cast a moody look upward.  Bats are getting awfuly uppity tonight, she grumbled in an annoyed voice.  She knew they'd probably just swooped down closer to her to snatch up mosquitoes or whatever the hell it was they ate, but that didn't mean she had to like it.  Her attention snapped back to the growing boy, head tilting to the side before she asked, What are you doing out so late?  Her question wasn't an angry or agitated one, simply curious.  He must have slipped right out from under Stark's paw.
