Okay... Penny was kind of glad she had missed the speech this man had given during the feast. Not that she HATED him like the others seemed to without having given him a proper chance, but because his cold stare seemed to reach the souls of those on the pitch... and well his gruff voice made her uneasy. Which, in all fairness, wasn't a thing that didn't happen often. But still. And just as she made to give greetings to the schoolmates who had nodded her way, the man had barked that it was time to start their laps. Everyone. Including those who had whined about it. Heh.

Not that Penny was at the height of shape for her age or anything, but she didn't mind a little exercise, to be honest. There wasn't much that got her riled up at all really. And she had more than enough SENSE not to sass adults. Especially ones that had fired their Headmistress and laid down the law. Sheesh. Weren't these people ever going to learn when it behooved them to keep their mouths shut?!

Starting out at a slow jog (so as not to wear herself out before the last), Penny started her laps with NO fuss. She didn't even pull a face or anything. Instead she was falling in line and doing as was told... until she found a reason not to.
