Weiß Pinguin slowly stands, and downs the rest of his drink before straightening his back and striding to where Jimbuna sits.
"I will not try to convince you that I am still your Wachoffizier, Herr Kaleun" he states quietly. "All I can say is that I trust both you and the Leutnant are still human."
He pauses, fishing a piece of paper from his pocket. "I have made my choice," he declares more loudly, pushing the scrap of paper towards Jimbuna as he glances towards Penelope Grey.
Written on the crumpled paper in his handwriting is Penelope Grey.
Clearing his throat, Wachoffizier Pinguin stands again, pulling his raincoat on. "I'm heading back to the boat," he says to anyone and no one. "Come get me when... well, when you need me."
On his way out he nods to Fräulein Grey, meeting her eyes for only a second.
