[i]God, she loved Penny.[/i]
There was something so [i]comforting[/i] about someone who was so aggressively honest. If she tried really hard, she could almost pretend that she [i]hadn't[/i] just been invisible or that Lynette [i]hadn't[/i] accidentally blown a mirror up somehow. If she tried [i]really[/i] hard, she could pretend that she and Lynette were just meeting up with a friend. However, no amount of pretending would change the truth. 

[i]She had done something.[/i] She didn't even really know how she'd done it. It had obviously been centered around the eye marking on her wrist but she didn't know [i]how[/i]. Her panic over being seen and possibly being expelled had triggered the reaction. She wondered if she could make it happen without panicking. She wasn't really sure if she wanted to try it again or not.

She was feeling a bit queasy over the entire event. If Penny hadn't shown up to take the fall then she wasn't sure [i]when[/i] she and Lynette would have escaped that bathroom. She wasn't sure [i]if[/i] she could have held them in invisibility for that long. It had started to wear on her, now she was kind of feeling as if she'd run a marathon.

She was much more comfortable out here. This was [i]normal[/i], and whatever had gone down in there was certainly not [i]normal[/i]. When Penny slung her arm around her shoulder and began to steer her and Lynette out of the danger zone, she couldn't help but feel a little grateful. Even admist Penny's onslaught of sarcasm and cynacism, Aliana was just glad to be out of that mess of glass and water.

Being the good friend that she was, she noticed that Penny was looking [i]bad[/i], which was weird for Penny. She was usually very put together, but not today. It looked like she was getting kind of sick or something. Her teeth had a tint of red that was reminiscent of childhood and popsicles, [i]or of nineteen year old girls puking up blood[/i]. "[color=8882be]Penny, you sort of accidentally saved us, so thank you for that. You're looking pretty bad yourself though, are you okay?[/color]"

Her gaze flickered over to Lynette when she started to talk about what had happened. It wasn't hard to guess that whatever she had done was in correspondence to her own marking. She wanted to know the whole story though and that meant that seeing a demonstration would probably be pretty helpful. It would also help distract her from her own powers. 

Ever the mom friend, she advised, "[color=8882be]You should show us this somewhere outside, I don't know what happened to the mirror but that was pretty volatile. Have you ever done that before?[/color]"

Of course, this probably sounded like crazy talk to an outsider. Penny hadn't seem the glowing mark or heard the explosion. She hadn't been invisible with them. Penny was smart though, she'd probably be curious to see a demonstration of the mysterious explosion. Aliana knew that [i]she[/i] wanted to see it. "[color=8882be]I hadn't ever done. . .[/color]" 

She vaguely gestured at her wrist. "[color=8882be]Whatever that was before.[/color]"
