[h2][center].:Penny:.[/center][/h2] Penny Just nodded back as Chloe ventured off to converse more directly with the Girls from Beacon, her grip tightening on the branch she was holding in worry. She wasn’t very good with the tense atmospheres that came before a fight, always worrying about this and that. That being said, not everything that was happening was worry inducing. The beacon magical that spoke up, Janet, in defense of those that Beacon often fought without any second though was a calming influence as far as Penny was concerned. [color=9e0039][i]‘I would if I could still be your friend?’[/i][/color] Penny wondered absently. [i][color=9e0039]‘I’ll have to ask and find out what those vows are, I guess’[/color][/i] There was also Castor, while not calming, he gave Penny some hope, as he seemed to be in a similar situation as her if she guessed correctly. The fact that her case was not a isolated one gave her hope that there were at least a few more people out there that she could be friends with. Quietly she resolved to try and talk with the boy later, she just hopped that she would be able to find him without any hassle. [color=f26522]"Hey, Penny!"[/color] Isana said cheerfully. [color=9e0039]“Hey yourself, Isana”[/color] Penny replied with a smile as she turned to face the shorter girl next to her, happy to see another friendly face in the midst of all this tension. [color=f26522]"Didn't expect to see you here. That patron...Laat, decide to sing kumbaya with everyone else or you just here for my autograph and to tell me I'm pretty? It's alright, no need to be shy about it."[/color] Penny gave an undignified snort as a reply[color=9e0039] “The day Laat does that I’ll be selling tickets to the show, trust me”[/color] She said as she looked across the gathering of Mahou again, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear as she did [color=9e0039]“I came more out of curiosity really, my introduction to the magical girl world was a bit of a hectic one. So I’ve not had much chance to meet and greet a lot of people outside you and Chloe since I came to town.”[/color] She continued with a shrug [color=9e0039]“Plus I wanted to be on hand to help in case things hit the fan”[/color] She finished turning back to face the mercenary. [color=9e0039]“What about you? An alliance doesn’t seem to be up your ally with your profession and all”[/color] she asked amicably, she hadn’t had much time to really talk with Isana, and though the situation wasn’t ideal for it did help in calming her nerves.
