Across Elation

[Penelope Serrano-Blaise]

Penny couldn't help but to crinkle her nose at the dry nature of Lucy's remark. There was no doubt she enjoyed tormenting the Brit during important phone calls, but Penny knew she was right, even if she'd miss some of the attention. It was for the better, and fortunately for the ink manipulator, using Skype would make it impossible for the Brit to return the favor.

Her eyebrows immediately rose that Lucy declined the idea of giving her parents a call. She was certain the Australian would have thought it to be good, with the progress that had been made through this conversation itself. However, she couldn't deny the ounce of relief that came with holding off. It gave her time to at least try to prepare.

Yet that relief was short lived her mind quickly caught up with the implications Lucy was making. How her lips caught Penny's attention for a brief moment before she forced her gaze upward again. Barely a glance, but she knew she had been caught. Again.

"I probably don't." She denoted with a twitch of her own eyebrows before she forced herself up through the rest of the distance to kiss Lucy.

[Lucy Serrano-Blaise]

Lucy Serrano was a creature with an apt suggestive nature. Properly applied in some of the worst moments, it also adhered itself to her needs in the best of ways. Of course there'd be no time. It was a question without a definite draw upwards, because despite what Penny would say in response she knew the ink manipulator was right.

Still, receiving the indication that that was true by way of a verbal response was perfect. Enough to draw light smug notions to the curve of her lips before they were stolen so successfully.

Again, they would agree. And again, Lucy opted not to make a potential spectacle of the offer. Instead she allowed herself to falter to the nature behind her counterpart's lips. As it stood, she'd done enough to ignore the overarching intentions, and there wasn't to be a spare moment to make any kind of phone calls.
