"You okay?"
"Hmm?" Nina turned to her right, only to see Penny studying her face. "Heh… yes, I am. I'm just thinking about what Dean told me."
Penny arched a brow. "What did that guy tell you? I'll sew his mouth shut today."
"Haha. Penny, it's not like that." Nina huffed faintly, swinging her arms to release the building tension on her shoulders. "He just said… that he didn't stand up for me, but rather, he simply repeated what Finn told him."
"Oh."
Nina pressed her lips together and glanced at Penny. "You knew Patricia was here, didn't you?"
"Hmm?"
"Otherwise, you would've asked and mentioned it," Nina explained. "Thanks, Penny."
"For what?"
"For not… making a big deal out of it."
Penny slid her eyes to the corner, knowing Patricia was currently being interrogated by Angel. She flashed Nina a wide smile and nodded, her words coming out through her nose.
"Of course. You're welcome."
