Subtle amusement shifting to soft concern as the pots and pans fell, Penny uncrossed her legs and lifted herself slightly from her seat to look over the counter and find the other woman on the floor --- though as it seemed her opposite was fine, setting the cooking instruments back in place, she lowered herself back into her seat. She wasnโt used to this level of energy, quite honestly, as she spent most of her time hidden away; it was like stepping out of a library into an amusement parkโฆ well, maybe not that extravagant, but nearly. The shift was confusing yet exciting; and God bless her, it had the gentle spiritโs attention. Since her opposite had brought the cookbook over, Penny hadnโt really a chance to allow those upsetting thoughts thatโd been hovering about her head to come back โround. Not once.
A slow, curious lift of her brow at the brunetteโs mention, โ Mystery Inc. โ, it took her a moment, but she finally caught on. Ah, yes. Scooby Doo. Penny could recall the excitement of the brand new cartoon the year sheโd died... and over the decades thatโd followed, sheโd caught the show a few times when any of the owners had brought televisions into the house. โ I suppose we could be, โ the innocent blonde teased, โ like Velma and Daphne? โ The thought had her grinning. Vision detached from her oppositeโs then and she looked down to the pan thatโd been placed on the counterโฆ though sights were soon brought back up as she heard the girl begin to sing. Like a welcoming melody, itโd entered her ears. She lit up as she recognized the lyrics, too --- her prior, wide grin lowering into a genuine smile as amusement glistened in the deep bluesโ of her eyes. One of the best songs of her decade, Penny hadnโt heard it for years. That sweet smile keeping on, she watched the other woman happilyโฆ though once she abruptly stopped, Pennyโs head jerked in the subtlest of manners, involuntary, as if something sheโd been grabbing for had suddenly slipped between her fingers.
It was a moment after that her eyes flickered to the counter top, the uncorrupted ghost slowly allowed her smile to slip away. Soft, cold hands brought together upon marble, she kept her sights down as she idly twiddled the tips of her fingers in thought. Long eyelashes fluttering at the sound of the brunetteโs bubbled laugh, however, Penny brought her eyes back up and allowed her smile to reappearโฆ though not as bright as before. She listened closely as the treat was described to her, and slowly, her mouth began to drop. In a moment, she relinquished a laugh with her expression twisting. Pure sugar, thatโs all she heard. โ Goodness! โ It sounded catastrophic; she felt sheโd get cavities just from hearing about it --- but Penny was open-minded, keen to try it out, especially now.
Bright blue hues shot back to meet her chocolate brown ones at her comment --- look almost holding that of surprise; so candid to someone as pure and demure as herself. A moment of searching the other womanโs eyes, Penny couldnโt help but turn a softer shade of red. It was a first, of course. Sheโd only received comments like that from the men of the house. Regardless, it had a bashful giggle slipping past pink glossed lips. โ It, um, sounds deliciousโฆ and totally packed with sugar, โ she managed out past the soft giggles still emitting from the back of her throat, โ But Iโve got a pretty big sweet tooth, so it evens it out I think. โ Still sporting rosy cheeks, that smile wouldnโt cease even as she stood from her seat and brushed the ends of her white, knee-length dress before bringing her hands together. โ I can gather the ingredients, if youโd like? Which would you have me fetch first for these Slutty Brownies? โ
