Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:
an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

"Then we try to see if there's anyone else who finds doors, I suppose," Gloria says.
"Oh! You can stay with my wife and I, I think the pullout bed in the sofa should be wide enough for your wings."
"If I park you in my office until the club closes, can you entertain yourself? I have some books that aren't age-inappropriate, but they're aimed at people older than you."
"Probably no one would hear you over the music in the club," Gloria points out. It was rather loud. "Some mystery novels, a vampire romance I was reading for the lulz, a bunch of science fiction."
"Oh, you meant the club music was too loud, not that your singing was too loud, my bad. But yeah, I have some books, or there's a Wal-Mart a little ways away where I could pick something up."
"Better stop off at the Wal-Mart then. If you pick me up and get into the air can you take directions?"
Wal-Mart!
Gloria leaves Pen outside with a promise to stay there and wait for her, and spins a story about having to unexpectedly look after an eight-year old for someone without actually technically lying. She gets directed to childrens' books, and then, on a whim, buys her a suction cup bow and arrow set too, because that shit's just awesome.

Pen waits outside, for a value of "waits" that means "flies around, landing on cars in the parking lot, in an aerial game of The Floor Is Lava".
"I got the things! We can go back to the club now," she says, brandishing the bag with her purchases.

"Okay." Pen scoops her up off the parking lot lava and flies her back to the club.
Gloria deposits Pen in her office with the books and the toy and permission to shoot suction cup arrows at the one wall but not the others, please.
"You're welcome!"
Unless something unanticipated occurs, Gloria will pick Pen up after the club has been closed up and she is ready to go home. It's almost dawn.

Pen is napping in the office under a blanket of her own wings. There are suction cup arrows stuck to the wall, and one of the books is not in the pile with the others anymore.
Gloria will pick the suction cups off the wall, and gather the books together, and put the books and the toy in a bag and pick up Pen to take her home, trying not to wake her.
Gloria will carefully carry her home, then.
At some point during the night, she had called her wife and explained the situation; Klaudia was mildly annoyed with her for volunteering their apartment without consulting her but agreed that it was the best idea. The sofa bed should be pulled out by the time they get back to the apartment. Gloria will try to set Penninah down on it without disturbing her.
