The unfavorable results had begun to take their toll on Emily. She was beginning to consider the possibility of simply giving up for now and finding a place to settle down for the night. The people in Penrose seemed to be upset. Given the constant activity in the city, it probably made sense, though. Even if humans were to rationalize that a monster attack was a gas leak, or destruction was caused by faulty equipment, or whatever else they could come up with, they were still victims of loss. They probably lost loved ones, or property, or prized possessions, who could really say? Maybe they were justified for their bitterness? 

Or maybe they were just jerks. 

In any case, the fact that Annabelle replied favorably to her request was both unexpected and a relief. A wide, genuine smile was Emily's response, and she immediately bowed out of respect. [color=turquoise]"Thank you, miss! Even if it doesn't turn out to be the same place, I appreciate your kindness!"[/color] a few more quick bows were given, before she followed along behind the girl. [color=turquoise]"Ah, I'm Emily Ackerson. If there's anything I can do to show my gratitude, let me know!"[/color]
