Emma glanced at Hannah. She hadn't known? "Apparently it was a Demon Lord's or something...and it was important to me, so it gave Slayzer positive effects. So, yeah..."
Emma's focus turned to Penny when she started to speak, and when the demon stood, she did as well, growing angry. Penny had lied by keeping these secrets! "You didn't tell me a million things that could have been important when all of this hit the fan, Penny! Now I've got some Demon Lord coming after me, and I'm not even halfway prepared! And it's not like you did a bang up job of helping so far!"
Emma's anger didn't abate like Penny's did, and she remained standing, leaning over the table. "Penny, I am human! I only have so many years to live, and I wanted to live them in peace, just helping other people and studying magic! That was all! When all of this started to happen, you still didn't tell me a ton! Why did you wait to tell me about the Binding? That was something you could have helped with!"
Her rant finished, Emma folded her arms over her chest, glaring at Penny. Her expression changed at Hannah lifted them and brought them out of the hall. She remained sulking, not trying to get away, though she cast a worried look to the balcony. Hopefully he wouldn't do anything stupid.
Emma continued her silence when Hannah set them down, and listened to the girls quietly, turning her back on them and kicking a pebble. When Penny mentioned being an overlord, she twisted around and pointed at the female. "See, you didn't think that was importa-dying?"
"You...you aren't dying..." Emma wanted to deny it, but the look on Penny's face backed up what Hannah had stated. This was Penny...a ball of energy, making people laugh and bouncing around. Emma might be mad, but she would never wish this on her friend. And surely Penny didn't want to die. "You can't die! You...You're...You're Penny..."
"Your Netherworld...because you're an Overlord..." Emma nodded, and moved to a larger piece of rubble, flopping unto it as she tried to digest all of the new information. "Okay. So...we need to connect the worlds again." Would that be detrimental? Emma had no clue. "They were separated...so there must be a way to reconnect, even if the connection isn't the same. We can do this. If you were reconnected to your netherworld...you'd be okay, right? Right?" Emma gave the women a panicked glance. How could Penny keep this secret to herself, and be so calm about it?
