Penelo tended to listen to her superiors when it came to ships and school and the like. However, she wondered why Pip had given that particular rule.

Whatever. She was obeying him, with Beat on her left and another random female crewmember on the right. She almost felt sorry for the girl; Beat had gotten roaring drunk the other night and was now hungover, and Penelo felt no pity for him.

Even is Penelo felt no pity for him, he felt plenty of pity for himself. And was making sure everyone around him knew it. With a overly loud groan he rolled rolled over, pressing his forehead against Penelo's hip. That groan was quickly replaced with a pleading whine. She could totally help with her magic, right?

"Pennnnn...."

[penny_dancer]

"Sorry, Beat, but I can't heal hangovers." Which was a lie. She could help the headaches and the general feeling being hungover, but Beat needed to learn that drinking until he was roaring drunk was a bad thing to do. "I have some medicine that might help, though, and a pillow has got to be more comfortable than my hip," she said, looking down at him.

[curry_ramen]

"Nope, comfy." He grunted, hiding his eyes from the ambient light. The warmth and subtle shift of her breathing was soothing, and he was hurting too much to care about how it looked right now.

"Ngh... is it, like, nasty medicine? Like dat stuff Mamma pushes on us?"

[penny_dancer]

Penelo really didn't care either. She'd lived with Beat for what seemed like ages and besides, they were friends. "It's completely normal medicine," she assured him. "It's a powder that you pour into water and mix. It's not tasty, but it's not Jaegermedicine." Pity or no pity, she'd never give Beat that stuff. Even if it worked, provided you didn't die.

[curry_ramen]

"Hmm... Pen, you're a man among women, yo." He murmured, butchering the words though not the intent. She really was too good to him, and he realized that somewhat. It was like having another sister... only one that his parents didn't compare him too and was okay to think was cute. Wait.

[penny_dancer]

She giggled. Okay, so he was a little endearing when he was hungover. "You mean 'man amongst men' or 'woman amongst women', Beat," she said, idly brushing his hair out of his face before reaching into her bag to pull out the powder. "Do you have water?"

[curry_ramen]

Beat wasn't wear his hat or bandanna. After all, no matter how much he loved the thing, he didn't sleep in it. So it was easy to brush his slightly overgrown hair. It was surprisingly soft, since it almost never was exposed to the elements. He blindly reached over, holding up a canteen he had filled from the kitchens. He knew it'd be hard to get there after everyone was asleep, so better safe then sorry.

[penny_dancer]

Penelo took it and poured the powder in, shaking it up. And if she subtly cast a small Cure spell on Beat, well...maybe she did feel a little bad for him.

"Here. Drink it all."

[curry_ramen]

He chugged it, and the settling of the medicine in his gut and un-noticed healing of the Cure spell made him feel better right away. Beat sighed happily, leaning over and glomping onto her in his relief.

"Ahhh, Pen, you're da best, yo!" And then he gave her a quick peck on the cheek without even thinking.

And froze in shock.

[penny_dancer]

"You're wel-"

When Beat froze, Penelo froze. Not even Vaan had done that, not since they were kids. The last person to kiss her had been, well...yes, anyway. Did that mean....? No, it couldn't. Beat was just over-zealous in showing his gratitude. Besides, they were friends.

After a few moments of internal flailing, Penelo returned the hug and maybe sort of kissed Beat back. He would start freaking out if she didn't respond. "No problem, Beat."

[curry_ramen]

'Ohogodohgodohgod' Beat's thoughts swirled around in a panic. It had been over a year since Haine, true. But this was Katsushiro's girlfriend. Sure, he had been gone for awhile now, but he had no idea of his and Penelo's current status.

Then she hugged him and kissed back. What did that mean?! Was this just friendly?! Was it not? He stayed frozen for a few moments before laughing weakly and hugging back. "Hahaha... er... yeah?"

[penny_dancer]

Penelo smiled, a little nervous, and slipped out of the hug after a bit. Absently, her hand went down to play with the bracelet Katsushiro had given her...only to find it was gone. It had been in her room when Hex had lost it. She couldn't even find pieces of it.

[curry_ramen]

Beat noticed her nervous action, looking concerned. He remembered the bracelet well enough. "Hey... er Pen? Can I ask ya something?"

[penny_dancer]

"Yeah?" Penelo turned to him, a small smile on her face. She didn't want to smile, but she was in a crowded space and couldn't dance right now.

[curry_ramen]

"That...er.. ya know? No wait. Uh... you heard from Katsu in awhile?"
