Penny found it endearing how Christian took her 'do your worst' joke seriously. Despite how knowledgeable he was, he seemed almost like a kid when it came to certain things. The car, for example. Penny giggled almost the entire way to kill the vampires, just because Christian would not stop touching the buttons and looking out the window. Penny realized that there was a lot of things that he probably didn't get to experience. Especially in his line of work. 

Penny winced as Christian cleaned out her wound and she took a deep breath to help with some of the pain. It wasn't too bad after it was cleaned. That was until Christian started applying the antiseptic cream. He left a trail of goosebumps with his feather light touches and it caused Penny's breath to hitch. She cleared her throat and tried to ignore the feeling of [i]something[/i], she couldn't put a finger on that lingered in her chest. [color=f49ac2]"Oh, that."[/color] She chuckled awkwardly.[color=f49ac2] "He did. I guess I didn't really have a reason to say no, so I took him up on the offer."[/color] Penny paused, in contemplation. [color=f49ac2]"He seems really nice and sincere. I don't think I'm the best judge of character though. My last boyfriend wasn't exactly a saint."[/color] Despite the somewhat awkward topic of conversation, Penny was kind of glad Christian asked. She wanted his opinion on Charles and she took his curiosity as him accepting her proposal of friendship. [color=f49ac2]"Besides, it's just a date. Nothing more, nothing less."[/color]
