@PennyGreene “It’s going to be fine, Pen. And I’ll be right beside you the whole time.” Shelbie takes those hands and brings them to her lips. “I love you, Penelope Greene. And thank you.”

Madame LeVert leaves @RhianMcAuliffe and @SansBlackhearts to get acquainted in the parlor for now. Presently, the Madame has a meeting to attend elsewhere.

“So, I understand you prefer to go nameless?” Shelbie asks the doctor’s stunning wife. “That must be confusing at times.” [x]

@OpalDavenport @CorelPrichard But Shelbie is prepared. The moment that the front doors are blasted in, the lioness roars and lunges for the soldiers. She manages to maul a couple of them to death before another fires a powerful tranq dart into her furry pelt.

Shelbie’s last thought before succumbing is of her dearest Penny. [x]

@CorelPrichard @OpalDavenport Tragically—or perhaps not so much—Minister Davenport is now unable to be moved. When the General finds the blonde, she has been relieved of her limbs and is connected to a rack by her stumps and neck. The Belgrade Special, if you will.

Shelbie morphs into a lioness and roars loudly to announce her presence. >

@PennyGreene “I… had a lot to think about. Madame LeVert actually helped me work through it.”

Lowering down on one knee, Shelbie takes Penny’s hands in her own. “Penelope Lira Greene… Will you be my wife?”

As for the difference, Shelbie doesn’t seem to notice it, at least not right away.

“…You alright, babe?”
