Taiga, now standing with a stranger by the vending machine, wasn't sulking. It might have looked like that, a sullen and skeptical look playing her neat features where they settled on the fellow, but that definitely wasn't the case. Her first instinct had been anger on her own behalf because Taiga could always find some excuse to be angry, and looking helpless in front of this man was enough a reason as any. The Fae subdued the urge with a forced smile that most of the patron's of ONS would see through, and took her pack of menthols from the shelved pocket they had been dispensed to.
"Yeah, thanks." In the background, Errol may have laughed at the exchange, but Taiga didn't particularly find it funny. Her responses were short. "It's natural, bud. No box, no hassle."
The scent hit her first, like stepping back into her apartment to find Aisling reading at the window, buried in the ancient pages of some priceless tome. The Fae's portrait swiveled slightly, taking in the fortune teller as she closed the gap between the entry and the machine. Her current company hadn't fully registered as being an issue, but then again, Taiga cared more for her pride than come-ons and flirty inquiries concerning her hair. "Oh, there you are-" Taiga, now carrying her pack of free cigarettes, scooted from where she was standing between Owen and the dispenser to where Aisling stopped. Instinctively, her arm wrapped around the smaller female's shoulders as a universal sign of ownership, given by a creature who wasn't quite human enough to appreciate subtlety.
Carefully, Taiga directed Aisling back a few steps so they were safely distanced from Owen. Maybe for their sake, maybe for his. One could never be too safe when strangers were involved. "No, no. He fixed the machine for me." Which actually meant he knew how to use the machine, but there an ever present bubble of pride that served to shield her from admitting being ignorant to modern appliances.
Like that time she threw the toaster out the window. Or when she argued with the stereo.
Honestly, she still argued with the stereo, but not when Aisling was around because her beau just laughed about it.
