[color=9e0039][u][b]“It’s alright”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would say as she gently wrapped her arms around Chloe again, her grip as light as she could make it so that the Spirit mage could tell that she could leave if she wanted. [color=9e0039][u][b]“T̷h̸̨ey will not touch you!”[/b][/u][/color] She'd promised with a surprising amount of venom as her eyes flashed dangerously. She would not suffer to let anyone take Chloe away from her. Penny would take a moment to calm down before she would answer [color=9e0039][u][b]“And Better now.”[/b][/u][/color] A half smile on her face as she looked down at the girl in her arms. [color=9e0039][u][b]“I arrived in my Lair when I returned. Spent a while just reading the news feeds while I watched the girls and boys there, piecing things together. Eventually I noticed Cindy, and got confirmation that this isn’t just one of my nightmares.”[/b][/u][/color] She would explain leaning back into the couch as she spoke. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Also got a call from Amaryllis, there are already some monsters causing havoc. Liches from what I got told. It’s a mess all around.”[/b][/u][/color] [color=9e0039][u][b]“There is so much to do and so little time right now.”[/b][/u][/color] Penny would say after a moment of just enjoying the moment of stolen relaxation. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Seems it would be best to get you and Cindy in contact, you both seem better than me at this whole setting things up for the corrupted girls, hell even this Vi-chan is better at it then I am”[/b][/u][/color] she would say with a self-depreciating chuckle before moving on [color=9e0039][u][b]”Afterwards I was going to go out Hunting the liches, as I realized that I might be a security risk for the Lair. Beacon tends to keep tabs on its members, but I never really looked into if they can track me through the Spark, or just via phone line.”[/b][/u][/color] She would explain with a shrug and a sigh. It felt like she needed to be in three places at once right now. She needed to figure out if it was safe for the Sanctuary for her to be there, needed to go get supplies from Brittny’s shop, needed to go hunting to take care of the Monsters that were acting up. Yet she could only do one thing at a time, it was more frustration then normal for the robotic girl. [color=9e0039][u][b]“Think I would be able to take you to the Lair if I opened the door out of here first?”[/b][/u][/color] Penny asked as it would make things a lot easier if she could.
