Tyrion went over to Penelope and led her out of the room so they could speak in private.
"Are you well?" Tyrion asked, giving Penelope a quick look over.
Penelope kept her eyes on the floor. "You should be asking if my mother is well."
Tyrion planned to ask about the duchess, but his first concern was Penelope.
"I must know how you are first," Tyrion replied.
"I am fine," Penelope said, but soon laughed since it was the same response as her mother. "No, I am not fine. I told her what we overheard when we met with my aunt and grandmother. It seems now wasn't the best time. I should have known."
"No time would have been the best time. It wasn't a simple topic to share with your mother. It has been bothering you since you overheard it," said Tyrion.
"It has," Penelope agreed.
