"So like I was saying, I think you should let us share a room," Penelope found herself saying, standing in the center of Zagan's office.
Suddenly she felt lightheaded, and the room swayed before she caught herself on his desk. The vampire was standing on the opposite side of the room looking at his map, ignoring her it seemed. She didn't remember how she got here or how this conversation started.
"You wish to share a room with the Luna?" he asked without looking at her. "Won't that seem odd to her when she views you as her doctor?"
"I… um," she started to answer, though her head was fuzzy and wasn't allowing her to concentrate. Was that what she was saying? She felt like she could pass out, but that was the last thing she wanted to happen in his presence.
"You can sit down if you must," he told her, still studying the map.
"No, that's okay," she said tremulously.
"Penelope, sit down," he commanded.
