Haven just scratched his head at Firefly's response that she and DaVinci were siblings. That made him even more nervous. Even though he had never met the woman before, it meant that she knew more of his family than just his uncle. "I see. We're uh...friends..." he lied. The last thing he wanted for his uncle to know what pit he had fallen into. While he was better now than he sometimes was, it wasn't much better. Besides, no doubt DaVinci would feel obligated to tell his mother and that was the last he wanted. He was hiding to protect her. To protect all the ones he loved. If his family started pounding on the door he didn't know if he would have the resolve to refuse them.
The youth helped the healer attend to Ruri's injuries while the washed up woman and Firefly talked about their mutual connections. So this girl was friends with one of the men on the ship that DaVinci had stayed on for a time? If he had been his normal self he would have been interested to ask a few questions of his own. However he was far from the normal Haven, so he kept his mouth shut and just continued to help. He looked up at Firefly with a half grin as she apologized for her friend, but that soon was wiped from his face as the girl ripped her hand from his. He swallowed and put his hand in his lap. The females continued to exchange words and he felt lost in the buzz.
At more rough words from the scarred femme he cringed and got to his feet. He was already uncomfortable and it seemed that he was no longer needed or wanted. A sad look took its place in his jade orbs as he walked back around Ruri and quietly picked up his rum bottle. He gave one last glance back as he started to take steps away from the trio.
