Penelo was singing. Again.

It wasn't like Vaan didn't appreciate her singing voice -- he told her frequently that he actually found it soothing to his ears -- but sometimes... sometimes she took it too far; above and beyond, in fact! This was turning out to be one of those times. Off key, obnoxiously loud and surprisingly, dancing along to herself, she was becoming more and more of an annoyance as she went on with the singing.

Maybe it was because they were in the air right now. Maybe.

"Penelo?"

"Yeah Vann?" She breathed airily, twisting around to look at him.

"Who sings that song, Penelo?" He grit out, being careful to keep his voice level. He did want to come out of this situation relatively unscathed, after all.

"Uh... Natasha Bedingfield?"

"Can we keep it that way!?" He bellowed, pulling hard on the ships controls.

Blinking, she sat down beside him as her face contorted into that expression he knew screamed 'run Vaan!' He supposed he should attempt to head the rage off. "Look, I can barely concentrate right now and you--"

"Shut up, Vaan!" Penelo screamed, punching his arm and stalking away, most likely in search of an area where she could let loose her rage... which she certainly had an abundance of now.

"Well," he muttered to himself. "That actually went a lot better than I thought it would. Ha!"
