[Penny doesn't need to say it, he can sense that fear from within her. That question was only brought up because he had a conversation with someone about that a few weeks ago-- changing an individual's fate.
Almost instinctively, he reaches out and grabs Penny's hand, gently squeezing as comfort for the young android. Word of comfort isn't his strongest suit, but at least he can try in other ways.]
Understandable. [A pause.] If you don't mind, I... want to make your time here worthwhile.
[If being here is really all the time she has, then he feels that's the best course of action. Even if the memories made here couldn't be brought back home with her.]
[ she doesn't expect for soundwave to reach out and take her hand, but almost instinctively holds it back when she processes it. even if it doesn't look like much, it means a lot to have that sort of gesture from a friend. ]
Of course I don't mind. I would like that very much, actually. [ she manages a smile - it's small, but genuine. ] Thank you, Soundwave. I'm very glad that we're friends.
[ it's still amazing that she's been able to befriend people from outside of her world that are so similar to her. ]
[Even if his entire face is covered, it does seem like he's genuinely smiling under the mask. He can't help himself, after seeing Penny's smile like that. Still, he feels something is missing here. A hug, perhaps? Oh well, she deserves one, and he does want to repay her for that hug months ago.
So without further ado, he lifts Penny off her feet and pulls her into an extra-special big robot hug.]
You're a good person, Penny. I'm glad that we're friends, too.
[She's the closest person he would truly call a good friend here.]
[ robot hugs are among some of the best hugs she's gotten in Empatheias, so she gladly returns it. even if she's lifted into the air, she knows that she's safe - enough so that the chilled air around them warms into something comfortable.
somehow, she feels better than when they had entered the room. hopefully those emotions will last. ]
Let's keep going. I'd like to see the rest of the festival!
Of course. There's no point for us both to linger in this room.
[That sensation is a welcoming feeling- it's a complete opposite as to how they entered the room at first. And adding his own emotions, the effect becomes stronger. With Penny still carried under his arm, he heads towards the exit, or she could jump down and walk side-by-side with him if she wants to.
Either way, they both go out the room together as close friends. It's sort of a weird feeling, but he feels as if their bond of friendship has deepened greatly tonight.]
