Ned frowns. Per usual, when the Doc tells him to 'chill' and then takes his arm and swerves him boldly into the company of their present...well, company. He seems a bit bewildered (probably because the Doc, mentor, teacher and ancient Disciple that he is, just used a word like 'chill') when they finally emerge into the landscape of 'sociable' and it leaves Ned with little to do but clutch his glass of wine and take turns bouncing eyes from Pen to Nick, without really focusing on either.
If he's approached with eyes, feet or words, he offers a nod of confirmation and a lip-pressed smile that is at once courteous as well as awkward. A hand rises to ensure his hair is still somewhat tamed every so often (habit).
For the most part though, Ned is not much of a mingler. A timorous sip of wine and a hand in his jeans pockets. That was Ned. Yep.
