Roman smirked in his small cell. It had been a day since his 'arrest' and so far everything was going to plan. As he gazed out of the small hole in his cell a familiar orange haired girl passed by. A certain girl who had blown up several of his ships and had caused him a major scolding from cinder. Not to mention Emerald and Mercury mentioning it, and making fun of him for it, every chance they had. 'Oh Roman letting yourself get beat up by teenage girls again I see' 'yeah Roman, that's pretty pervy'. He really hated those kids.
"Hey, destructo-girl, nice to see you again" cooed Roman with a pleasant voice from inside his box. "But, if I may ask, what are you doing in Ironwoods fortress?" The sight of this powerful girl was a little confusing; didn't she have school or something?
Penny stopped and turned towards the noise. "Mister Ironwood said I wasn't supposed to talk to criminal scum like you" chimed penny, curiously looking at the small box like cell.
"Well that's a little rude. Scum? That's quite a low blow." Tutted Roman, shaking his head. He had been called worse of course, but hearing this little girl so innocently saying these insults was a little off-putting.
"My apologies, that is the phrasing Mister Ironwood used. Is there something you would prefer me to call you?" Inquired Penny, tilting her head while taking a step towards the box.
"I do have a name pumpkin-head, and it's Roman Torchwick. Speaking of names I don't quite know yours either girlie." Roman said.
"Oh, pardon my manners, I am new at talking to people. My name is Penny." Penny awkwardly stood for a second. "My books on this told me I should shake your hand at this time, but I do not think that is currently possible." Penny said flatly. Roman chuckled and simply stated that no, that wasn't possible, nor probably recommended at this moment by Ironwood.
They stayed in silence for a second until Roman coughed and started to speak. "Well you're surprisingly friendly to a man who shot at your friends..." It was quite strange to Roman that this girl, who had been attacking him before, was now so polite to him. Most people Roman 'interacted' with had a tendency to want to punch him, not have a pleasant introduction with him.
Penny blinked. "You're surprisingly friendly to a girl who blew up your ships..." Roman laughed. "I guess that's true Penny, I guess that's true..." Suddenly footsteps echoed down the hallway as one of the guards patrolling the establishment started down the hallway with Roman's prison.
Penny waved at Torchwick saying goodbye with a simple "See you later Mr. Torchwick!", and as she turned and left Roman waved back.
"See you later Penny." Again Roman was left with only his thoughts as company, as the light girl's footsteps faded from the air.
