Penny could almost see the wheels in his head turning round and round. She didn't know what he was thinking about, but then, she didn't know what it was like to be stuck in the body of the younger version of herself. It would have likely been really scary considering that back then she had no idea what was happening to her. Except now she knew, and her medications were working out for her. Still, watching Bast go through a crisis like this sort of broke her heart even though part of her still wanted to kill him.
"I don't know," she said honestly, "We'll figure something out. I'll talk to Laney. I'm sure Annie could lend me some of Alfie's clothes in the meantime. You're both about the same size now. You could stay with me. I mean... I know that sounds... whatever... right now, but I just don't want anything to happen to you. I mean, what if you get some freaky power, and your head explodes or something?" Okay that probably wasn't the best thing to say, but he was making her nervous here with the leg hugging business.
