[Pen's voice firms in a way it very rarely does, especially with Orihime.]
It probably is angry, but its after me. And its not going to try to fight anyone else to the death except me.
[A pause.]
And you know what, Orihime? I've got Shiva out looking for it. I'm not foolish enough to go wandering around in the dark looking for it. What I'd like for you to do is come to my house, so that it can't target you again.
When Shiva comes back with news of where it is, Freya, Minako, and I are going to go destroy it.
Which is why Orihime goes quiet. She knows that Penelope wants to protect her--that's why she's asking her to come over, but...what if Orihime wants to protect her too?
Is she really not capable of it?
She doesn't want to get in the way. That would just make things worse. ]
[Right now, Orihime is a little out of her depth, and it's everything Pen can do not to tell her to move her butt right now. She loves her cousin, dearly, but there are times when she just doesn't seem to understand the gravity of a situation.
Right now, with a demon on the loose, who's targeting friends and family? There's no room for mis-steps.]
Orihime, can you please bring her with you?
[Her voice cracks slightly, worry creeping back into her voice.]
I'm trying to gather people here, so that we can all watch out for one another. Felicia and Freya are here, so is Vera. There's safety in numbers, in case it does decide not to run away. Its only going after people who are close to me, and it seems to run whenever its stood up to, so I think it is trying to bait me into coming out alone.
Please? At least, until Shiva can find the thing, and I can put a stop to this. I don't want to risk anyone getting hurt, on my account.
I won't, Orihime. My word on it. Even when you get here.
[Truly she has no intention of going anywhere. It's dangerous, and that's all there is to it.
She pauses, considering something for a moment.]
Could I ask you for a favor, on your way here? Bring some flour, and we can make those sweet tarts we used to make as kids. I've got everything else, and I feel like baking would take the edge off of this for Freya and Felicia. And Soleil too.

Hime became a robot for a tag.
Thing's a chickenshit.
HER DREAM CAME TRUE
[ This--she...it seemed so intimidating to her! ]
By it attacked me! Or it was going to and then Soliel stood up to it! It seemed so angry..
[ Did she stand down way before she should have? Maybe Soliel shouldn't have had to step in. She gave up...she gave up so quickly. ]
That's not okay! I want to help you find it!

Yes. I'll ask Soliel to come too. I'm sure she will.
[ If anything, she's fairly certain Soliel would go so she could keep an eye on Orihime. (Shouldn't she be thinking about herself?) ]
I'll let you know once we're heading over. Please don't go out without letting us know first...?
