It spoke to something about Penny that she didn’t even flinch when the lumbering abomination stumbled over to where she sat next to Chloe; she hardly spared the thing a second glance in fact. Instead her eyes were scanning the recent battle ground, even as she responded to the girl next to her [color=9e0039][u][b]“With the day I’ve had so far rest sounds nice...”[/b][/u][/color]

Most things were skimmed over but some important things to her stood out. She saw Lily tackle Alex, the back of her mind noting the new look for the both of them. The large amounts of Beacon members who showed up to assist with the cleanup and kept track of those closest to her due to paranoia. 

She noted Mika, more due to the girl’s phone signal then anything and thought she saw Sil but didn’t bother trying to verify, along with a half dozen other girls she couldn’t place.

She saw Rina and Amaryllis taking to each other; she made a mental note to thank them both again. Rina helped with Elroy and Penny assumed that Amaryllis helped Alicia deal with whatever was going on in the Crypt. She noted a small girl wondering away, followed by a pack of cats.

She even spotted Aurelio here and there, his Clones spread around talking with some people, helping others.

But she didn’t see Alicia and part of her longed too. Memories of the warm light her angelic friend gave off rose unbidden. Penny turned to Chloe as she spoke [color=9e0039][u][b]“I want to make sure Alicia is alright firs-“[/b][/u][/color] her voice died as she received Janet’s  broadcast. Penny understood perfectly what was being said, knew the implications of what was being said, of what Chloe was being charged with.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“Chloe“[/b][/u][/color] Penny would say softly, with inhuman level of calm as her eyes started to glow. [color=9e0039][u][b]“You need to leave, now”[/b][/u][/color] she would continue as she clenched a fist tightly enough that you could hear the metal groaning in protest.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“They want to apprehend you”[/b][/u][/color] it was easily apparent that Penny was preparing for combat once again, even as she stayed seated. Her emotions were being put off to the side and the soft hum of machinery cranked up a gear as Penny rerouted all spare mana to regeneration. 

[color=9e0039][u][b]“And I can’t fight all of them”[/b][/u][/color] There was only two people that Penny trusted with her life and there was little she wouldn’t due to keep those two safe if she had the means and opportunity. Chloe was one of them. Thus Penny couldn't bring herself to care about what her friend had done, so long as she was safe.

[color=9e0039][u][b]“Please”[/b][/u][/color] because at the end the day, despite how well as she played at being human, Penny wasn't, and the scars from her forcible inclusion by Laat'AlOfan ran deep.
