Tommy half listened to Danny's reply. His eyes were on the quiet girl. Well, not on her face, but for a moment he glanced at her hand that had balled up in her fist. He frowned, what had made her mad? It was subtle, and most people wouldn't have noticed the white of her knuckles, but despite how Tommy came across, his eyes noticed a lot. Perhaps that's why they always danced around. He ran his hands through his hair as he tried to focus on the problem in front of him, he had always liked puzzles. He couldn't understand why the small girl was mad and he was even considering looking up at her face when another woman came into view.
She was a darker woman who possessed all the confidence a woman locked up in a cage could have. She grabbed his chin. Her smile wasn't predatory and her touch was gentle. Tommy knew he didn't have much to fear from her, at least at this point in time. He felt his skin crawl uncomfortably though as his eyes met hers' but he didn't back down. He knew a challenge when he saw one. He met her eyes with an intensity, shoving his hands into his pockets so she couldn't see how twitchy he was. They held eye contact for a mere second but it was enough for her.
She released him and turned her attention back to Danny. Tommy went back to staring at the ground. Everyone always paid attention more attention to Danny. Especially the girls. Danny was the handsome one of the two and the one who appeared far more capable. Tommy never minded though, he didn't like attention.
Danny ignored her and turned to Tommy passing him one of the protein bars he always had on him. Tommy didn't look up or move to take it, so Danny continued, “And I want you to eat all of it, can you do that for me big guy?” Tommy didn't look at him or give any reply that signified he understood, but he did look up at the bar. He picked it up with his thumb and index finger like someone might pick up something potentially fowl. Danny explained that Tommy was going to have to keep his strength up if they were going to get out of here.
Danny turned to the girls and so Tommy turned his attention back on himself. Cautiously ripping open the bar, he swallowed nervously and rubbed his palms on his thighs in preparation before finally he broke off a tiny bit to feed himself. Tommy kicked his feet underneath him and laughed a little as he heard Danny threaten the girls. Always protective that one. Though the feeling was mutual, even if people didn't think Tommy much of a threat, he blow up anyone who hurt Danny. Tommy saw the quiet girl shake her had at her more confident friends and a thought suddenly occurred to him. "You don't talk?" He asked the quiet girl whilst staring at her feet, though it was more a statement. Immediately after he made the comment though, he dropped it and turned slightly away from her looking back at the bar in his hand. He broke off another tiny bit to nibble on.
Then a dark haired woman joined them. It was clear to Tommy that she wanted a fight and she was not too tactless about it. Which is why when she came round the table and ruffled his hair, Tommy just simply leaned away with a blank face, He hated being touched, and under other circumstances might have made a big deal out of it but not today. He wasn't going to give this woman the satisfaction. Though Danny might. Tommy ate the rest of the bar and took the wrapper rolling is between the palms of his hands making sure to squish it down into a tight ball. "Are we?" Tommy moved to swat at an invisible fly, "getting out then?" He asked Danny as if it were the two of them, ignoring their company. Though that was easy for Tommy to do as he didn't look up from the silver ball he was rolling with intense concentration in his hands.
