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

Oh lord.  Banner struggled to keep a neutral air about her.  That face!  Guilt gnawed at her even though she hadn't done anything wrong.  Tambourine looked so dejected with his mouth open like that.  Where was.. Stark.  Stark!  She looked back in the direction of The Crook where her packmates were likely all settling down for the night and wondered if screaming her brother's name and running off into the night was an actual option for her.

No.  That wasn't.. no.  The short female looked to her young companion again and gave him a half smile.  Tambourine didn't deserve a ridiculous scene from her just because she didn't know how to adult.  I'm not sure, actually, she mused.  The large mahogany male would probably be as dumbstruck as she.  Damn!  I don't think he'd like the competition, she said with a shrug.  Though if the kid didn't understand what she'd been trying to say before this probably wasn't a wise way to go about things.
