Penny followed without a word, though she gasped in surprise as she walked into the warm, cozy little house. "Oh, Gen, it's adorable!" she exclaimed in obvious delight. She hadn't expected much but regardless of the small size, it was charming, sort of like something she would have envisioned from a tale of an enchanted cottage in the forest. There was no pretense in Penny's admiration; indeed, Gen would have been able to read it on her face if it were there. "You've done a wonderful job!"
Since it was so warm inside, Penny began taking off her cloak and outerwear, unable to help but feel a bit out of place even in the simple, warm gown she had chosen for this outing.
