Start over

When Lilou and Samael bid their new friend farewell, Penny had a lot of thinking that night. Samael got through her as if he understood her circumstance. That was why she knew she had to decide earlier. This was not something she could prolong as it would decide the fate of the guild.

So, after careful consideration, Penny gathered everyone the next morning. 

Sitting on top of the bar counter, feet on the stool, she gazed at everyone solemnly. Since this was a family meeting, everyone was present except Claude. 

She took a deep breath and cleared her throat. "I know some of you are also bothered by Third's words the other night. Some are surely worried about him." Penny set her eyes to Gai and then to the young Betty. "I am too. That is why I gathered everyone in here."

"Don't get me wrong. I didn't call for a meeting to start a search party for him. We should respect his space," she continued, along with a deep breath.
