He could sense that his apology was not fully accepted, and it hurt. He had not meant in any way to offend or anger his pack-mate, especially since they had only just met. The Xi felt awful about the whole thing, and promised silently that he would somehow make it up to her. He was not quite sure how or even if it was possible, but he would sure do his damndest to make her feel better about him. Kennedy disliked it when others thought poorly of him, but he knew it was no fault of their own. He shouldered the blame willingly.

"I should… go, shouldn't I." he replied. Kennedy felt like it was the only thing to do at this point. He had upset Pump, and he did not think there was much he could do to make it better right now. Obviously words would not be enough. Time, perhaps. Or maybe he would make some other gesture in an attempt to win her over, but he felt that the longer he lingered, the more likely he was to make her angry again. Still, he did not run off just yet. He left the air between them open, should she decide that he would be better off here.
