If it wasn't for the fact that they really needed to get out of there, Sofia would have stopped right there. Something was wrong with this girl and it was more than unsettling. While in the cell, she had convenced herself that it was only a reaction from fear, but as her demeanor went from frightened to happy (if she could even call it that) her opinion changed completely.
"Who's here?" She looked back at Eliza questioningly. How she knew the person was there, she wasn't sure, but there seemed to be alot of things she wasn't unsure about concerning this girl.
There was a scraping sound from the vent overhead, followed by the screech of metal as too much weight was put on it and it was ripped through. There was a flash of red and black than landed in a little pile nearby, and reformed itself into a female in black leather. Her face was masklike and red, her eyes blue and pupiless, and her hair and fingers extended into long points.
She quickly threw up her hands, spreading them wide, in the universal gesture of 'I'm harmless, really!'
Penance gave the two girls her very best wide eyed innocent look. She'd just spent the last ten minutes crawling through vents.
When Sofia saw Penance fall from the ceiling, she did what anyone would in the situation: She stopped and readied for a fight. Just what she needed, a girl that could apparently shape shift and break through metal blocking her path to possible safty.
However, she soon realized that the girl didn't seem to want to cause any harm to them. Sofia didn't let down her guard completely, but enough to let Penance know she didn't intend to harm her.
Penance nodded emphatically, putting her hands down. She made a gesture in the general direction of the cells she'd come from, then mimed cutting her way out, and into the vents. Holding up a talon, she then mimed cutting off her collar and pointed to the one around Sophia's neck.
"I think Penny wants to take your collar off." Eliza said, sounding remarkably sane... until she started giggling. She knew where Grandmother was, and what she was doing. Vanessa was going to be in for a very unpleasent surprise when she tried to have the killswitch pressed....

"Were you captured too?"
