[She takes a breath, this was getting far more emotional than she had planned. Reaching up with one hand, she wipes her eyes and pinches the bridge of her nose.]
[The way she was raised, the things she knows she would lose, she really doesn't have much of a choice. But she wasn't going to argue because Pen wouldn't understand where she's coming from, she thinks.]
That... really means a lot to me, Pen. Thank you.
[She goes to take another sip of her glass, only to be met with the empty bottom staring back at her.]

[She sighs and looks down at her drink.]
It's also not anyone's business but yours.
no subject
[She takes another sip of her wine.]
no subject
Are you really willing to sacrifice your sanity and what sounds like a good relationship?

My father sent me to Recollé as a punishment. If he finds out about this, I don't know what he'll do.
no subject
[She taps her chest cheerfully, almost forcing it.]
It's not like his opinion is going to change who you are either.
no subject
I... never thought I'd agree with you on that. I actually have friends and a life of my own here.
[She takes another sip of her wine.]
Still, it would only take one phone call and I would be on the next plane back to Germany.
no subject
[See, Pen doesn't believe she would. Which is probably naive on her part, but not having any parents? Makes it easier.]
Just give up and move?

no subject
I'm not going to push you to talk about it though. Just...if it comes up, know I'm on your side.
no subject
That... really means a lot to me, Pen. Thank you.
[She goes to take another sip of her glass, only to be met with the empty bottom staring back at her.]
Shit, I really put that away.
no subject
There's always more. And pizza to boot. You're not going anywhere and tomorrow's a Sunday, so...why worry about a little drinking huh?
no subject
Need I remind you that the last time we did "a little drinking", you ended up in my lap?
[Not that that's stopping her from pouring another glass.]
Apparently my clock is off.
[She's not bothered by this at all.]
no subject
I... guess I don't have one.
no subject
Would you like it to happen again? Or role reversal? It's really no big deal to me.
no subject
Did you really j-just ask me that...?
no subject
Yep!
no subject
[Vera presses against the back of her chair, gulping down at her wine just to put something between their faces.]
J-just get comfortable however you like.
no subject
However I like huh?
[Hovering a minute more...she takes a seat across from Vera.]
Right here's just fine.
no subject
You are the worst tease, god...
no subject
[Girl, aren't you taken?]
no subject
I'll be just fine where I am. [She says as she sets another empty glass on the table.]
Man, if I could flirt like you, I don't think my girlfriend would ever get out of bed.
no subject
[They want someone to hold, and someone who they can be sure of. Penelope just seems weird to most people.]
