Master Jamie looked up when there was the soft taps, staring at the creature with a small frown, shifting as if she was afraid of it, and pulling her arm back when it rubbed it's head against her arm. "H-hi" Jamie said in a soft, shy voice. He didn't know if he had been seen, or if the beast was just friendly, but Jamie was suspicious. If had, after all, been with the woman who has given him the letter. 

Her hand went to a pocket, as if checking that letter was still there, and a soft crinkle of paper could be heard. It took all of Master Jamie's will power not to smile slyly. The scar on the back of his hand could be visible seen as she touched the pocket. He didn't have his negation magic in effect right then, and did so deliberately, believing that the creature wasn't magical. Jamie rose, stepping back as if worried about the beast. And then she activated her negation magic, sure that if the woman kept company with this beast, then it had to be more then it seemed. "Wave magic" Jamie muttered "negation!"

Neither of them had noticed the blood smear on the door frame, and she regretted that was she headed inside, staring wide eyed at the mess, , the destruction of the shop, and the blood stains over the counter. There was no sign that the owner was there, and Penny shuddered, not hesitating, she darted out the store, kicking with her foot as she did a cat mask. She had enough sense to pick the mask up, before practically falling out the shop into the sunlight.

She saw Damian and she darted to him, shaking, but feeling better when she was by his side. "The...the shop keeper isn't there" she said "blood. Found this" she held out the mask to him, her face completely white, or for a minute it looked like she might faint, but she didn't. "They tore the store apart, while leaving the outside untouched. I'm scared, Damian. I'm worried that...that I know what they are looking
For"
