Hushed Willows Digging for windows

Although she wasn't impolite in her rebuff, Tambourine still felt the distaste emanating off her. He chewed the inside of his cheek, casting another sidelong glance at the Gamma. He was really no friendlier, at least outwardly. He must be a nice guy, though, else Banner wouldn't like him so much. The young male would give him the benefit of the doubt. As for Larkspur... despite her self-proclaimed interest in company, Tambourine sensed that she wasn't remotely interested in his specifically, no matter how well-meaning.

Presently, Buchanan indulged her request for current events. Tambourine wouldn't have minded lingering and listening too but Larkspur kept shooting him reproachful looks. Although he was not one to get his feelings hurt easily, the Xi could sense that he really wasn't welcome here. Eventually, he sighed lightly, shrugged and left the two of them to catch up without him. He would go off and someone who wouldn't mind his company.
