“Thank
you. I can’t believe I forgot about the coffee I spilt right as I
said…” Penny yawned again. “Is it obvious why I’m forcing myself to
drink this stuff?”She then smiled.
“It’s worth it, though. So don’t worry about me! I mean, I get to spend time with a new friend, right?”
Suddenly the lights in a room across the hall went on.
Penny froze. Wasn’t she the only one still here (apart from Repy)? She suddenly got very nervous.
“Heh, yeah,” the Repairman chuckled sympathetically. He was no stranger to sleep deprivation. “You want me to brew up another?”
He beamed at the “new friend” comment as he helped her up.
“Well, I’m glad that–”
And the light suddenly turned on in somewhere down the hall. If Penny was nervous about that, what of the inkblot who knew too little about Diamond City? He only had her to gauge off of, so seeing her nervous expression left him oddly pale.
“W-was there anyone else working now?” he asked, hopefully.
