Jaune, I promise you that I didn't put it anywhere. I haven't cleaned your room yet!
[ she's just sort of... follows him and makes sure that the furniture that he turns over is properly set back. she'll definitely help him, but he seems a bit frazzled at the moment - she isn't really sure what to do, especially when it comes to matters concerning Pyrrha. she knows that it's a sensitive topic for him. ]
Why would you even clean it at all?! The room is fine the way it is!! I know where things are, and now I don't KNOW anymore. It's GONE!!
[ Are they still talking about the plush toy?? ]
Can you even understand why this is so important?! Do you know the word sentimality-- [ wait, he fucked that up ] --sentimentality! Can you comprehend this at all, Penny?!
[ Now he's rummaging through the coat room... still nothing! ]
[ instead of being fearful or emotional, Penny pauses for a moment, and then nods. being as straightforward as she is, she only needs a bit of time to think before this all starts making sense. put it into context with what's recently happened, and the answer is even clearer. ]
I think I can comprehend just fine. [ she tilts her head. ] Jaune, are you sure this is about an elephant plushie?
[ A few more coats come flying out of the closet until it goes completely quiet in there. Slowly, Jaune steps out and looks in Penny's direction, although he's not quite making eye contact. ]
I think that you're pretending that the plushie is Pyrrha. Or... at least, you're putting your sadness on it.
[ it may be a frank observation, but Penny has never been very good at subtlety. she just wants him to open up about it - or at least to understand what Jaune is feeling. ]
I don't know if that's what you should be doing. It doesn't sound very healthy.
[ She's gone. Just like the plushie? Okay, maybe there is something to what she's saying, even if Penny is articulating it a little wrong. But putting the complexity of what he's going through into words can be difficult for anyone.
There's a small moment of silence, before he decides to give Penny the benefit of the doubt. ]
I'm not sure. I've never had something like this happen to me before.
[ no one that Penny knows on a deep basis has left yet. she's incredibly lucky in that sense, but she knows that it's only a matter of time, in a way. ]
But I know that if I was feeling alone or hurt, I would want to spend time with people I care about. It may not make everything go away, but it it always helps a little bit.
[ Finally, Jaune eases off and sits down on the floor, leaning his back against the wall. ]
...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
[ Penny was just trying to help, with doing the chores or giving Jaune some sound advice. She's come a long way from the scared little robot he found on the playground swings about a year ago, even if she may not realize it. He should be the mature one in this situation... ]

[ He paces to the living room and looks underneath the cushion of a sofa. ]
And now it's not!!
[ He flips over the couch. ]
You're on cleaning duty, so where did you put it?!

Maybe we should ask Sun. He might know!
