I think I'll have her catch on to what he's doing then. ;3 

However, I do have this other idea that could be interesting but I'm not sure if it would be able to work well with everything we've built up so far and I think it's pretty cliched xD. Basically, he'll try to get away but Penelope will keep up with him during the chase and at one point, since they're in a forest, she ends up knocking them both into this rushing river. It ends up sending them far down stream so they're both sorta lost in the forest and have to find a way out together but there's also that conflict of him still wanting to get away and her wanting to get back to her comrades.
