[ Someday, hopefully soon, Penny won't have to keep making up these half-truths to someone who knows she's half-lying. It's very endearing that she's trying, though! GOTTA PROTECT SWEET ROBO CHILD...
Jaune waits for her to sit, grateful for the company, as he starts to eat this monstrosity of a lunch. ]
So, Penny, what made... [let him rephrase that] --what makes you wanna be a Huntress? Did you always wanna be one?
[ phew! dodged a bullet on that one... she relaxes, sitting down on her knees next to him. he poses an interesting question, mostly because the real answer is that it's why she was created. at the end of the day she was a weapon with an aura, but what she's wanted to do more recently has gone beyond something like a "purpose". after all, she's already decided that she wants to stay at beacon - who knows how things could go from there? ]
I know that I want to protect people - I always have. But I've learned so many new things since I arrived in Vale, and it makes me want to keep learning as much as I can... I thought that going to a school and learning how to be a Huntress could help me do both.
[ Jaune frowns slightly, knowing Penny's true fate in the end. She really deserved so much better. ]
Yeah, well... a lot of good that did you.
[ ... ]
T-To all of us, I mean. [ Look, he's kind of salty about the education system lately. FUCK OZPIN!!! ]
But you're here now! Like... like all of us. I guess I just want you to know that you don't need Vale or Beacon to learn new things. You'll grow up soon enough.
[ though jaune's pessimism isn't very heartening, penny tries to keep a positive attitude through it. she knows that things got rough in vale after the tournament, but the important thing is that everyone here is safe! ]
I think you're right. After all, I've learned lots of new things in my time here, and it's hardly been a month... Can you believe that?

I'm not very hungry. [ it technically isn't a lie, so she doesn't hiccup. she's getting better at this. ] But I will gladly keep you company!
