Derek was about to speak until he felt Penelope's grasp leave his hand. He turned to the young girl and knelt, "Hey, hey... It's okay. He didn't mean it like that." He blinked and thought for a second, trying to find a good way to change up Ethan's words. "He's just... Uh... Scared of kids." Derek gave a smile that would hopefully keep Penelope in a mood to stay with him. He glanced back to Ethan and mouthed the words, "Dude, c'mon!" He understood the other boy's point, but Derek figured that stepping out of his comfort zone could prove better than he thought. Hopefully...
By now, a number of Poors had been interviewed, and most of them were denied. There was about 3 families still willing to hire, including Penelope's most likely. The secretary called into the crowd, but it wasn't a name. "Hey! I've got word that there's a little girl lost here. Her name's Penelope Pure! If you see her, bring her to her parents. They might even be willing to accept you into their home for your deed." The last part the man added was a mumble as he searched through the crowd.
After listening in on the man's words, Derek looked to Penelope. This was pretty much it. He was going to take Penelope to her parents, and he was guessing that it was up to her for him to stay or go with them. "Are... You ready?"
(I'll try to introduce Penelope's parents if that's cool. And... Maybe a family if no one else will. :3)
