Penny's smile dipped some at the mention of his sister. She had never been close to her brother (and there certainly hadn't ever been opportunity to after he'd come home from the trail) but she had observed the Fisks for nearly all her life. Those were siblings who couldn't be without one another - Penny now had the feeling that it was the same for the Bixby's.
She ought to apologize for his loss, mention something about how she'd often seen the girl whizzing about on her broom, anything to acknowledge his loss. Only, speaking to it on such a superficial level felt wrong. Especially now that he finally seemed to be opening up a bit. Penny loathed the idea of him going quiet again.
"Elias said the same about animals hating him." She said, deciding against commenting on his sister for the moment. "I think he got used to my cats eventually though, or at the minimum they tolerate one another now. Either way, their companionship will come in time."
