As Karns battle seemed to draw to a climax, Penny let out a breath. Karn seemed okay, and she checked the time, knowing that she didn't have that much time to return to the hotel, to get ready. So after a quick look back, she started back to the hotel, her vision lacRmia still in hand, and she used that to keep in touch with the battle. She didn't doubt that Karn could win the battle, but what he would be like after? As she turned into the hotel, she knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything, and there wasTrinity, and Prince. 

So went to her room, keeping the lacrima where she could see it, as she showered, and then tried to tame her hair, wondering if she should just cut it short as she brushed out snarls and knots. She liked it long, though. By the time she was done, it was dry, and she pulled it back, leaving a few pieces hanging to frame her face. 

She looked back to the battle, but there still didn't seem to be a winner. She went to her clothes, realizing she hadn't really brought any clothes that could be considered date wear. Studying her clothes, she tried to make an outfit, finally settling on a simple dress, hesitating before grabbing a wrap a round scarf.

Preoccupied, she didn't notice the voices floating down the halls that would mean somethingn else was up.
