N-no, this doesn't really sound like it's for you....

"Ah, sorry Penelope, I don't think that sort of thing's really for me...."

Penelope blinks. "Really? I mean... do you remember how you joined us in the first place? Are you not feeling well?"

Penelope tilts her head, seeming a mix of genuinely confused and genuinely concerned. Ah, you haven't disappointed her, have you? She's always so nice....

"Y-yeah, that's it!" You say, doing your best to give her a smile. You reach up one hand and pat at your belly. "I'm a bit full right now. I feel sorta, you know..... f-full."

Penelope tuts empathetically. "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that honey. Don't worry, we'll get one of the other girls on it, okay? You just focus on feeling better."

Phew.... it's a good thing Penelope's so understanding. W-well, she's understanding when you lie about the situation, but she'd probably be understanding either way! You just don't wanna look bad. Or unreliable. Anyway, she goes around the circle talking to some people, then two girls head off together with a smile and wave to the rest of the group, and Penelope sits back down in her spot next to you, reaching over to rub your back medicinally.
