Stuffy and Eluuna's 1 on 1!

Poppy and Penelope exchanged glances.

"Well, yes," Penelope said hesitantly. "When you get better, you can go out on missions."

 

Poppy hesitated, tugging on her fingers.

"It will have to be a while."

 

Poppy bit her lip and averted her eyes. Penelope cleared her throat and sighed.

"Anyway. See you in a few hours, Abernathy."

 

"Bye, Penelope," Poppy replied quietly. Penelope studied them for a moment before leaving, the tent flap swinging behind her.

 

"What do you mean 'how long'?" Poppy asked evasively, turning her head to look over at him.

 

She pursed her lips, obviously uncomfortable.

"I'm not sure."

 

"I don't know, Francis!" she shot back, shifting. "I can't be sure."

 

She crossed her arms, her head tilting as it always did when she was feeling stubborn.

"It can be hard to tell."

 

She rubbed her arm uneasily.

“I don’t know,” she repeated quietly.

 

She went quiet, crossing her arms, her shoulders tense.
