As he took her arm, Penelope blinked in surprise and quickly began to open her mouth in protest but was cut off by the thief. She gave him a stubborn look but slowly closed her mouth and didn't bother to protest. Despite her unhappiness with the situation, what he said was true. While she tried to only lean very lightly on him, she found herself having to depend on him for more support than she would have liked to admit. 

"Alright..." she grumbled quietly and followed his lead as he walked. She couldn't help but feel rather surprised by his actions. He was in better condition than her so if he tried to escape it would likely be sucessful considering the circumstances. "You're a strange person." she said glancing up at him with a weary smile. "Or rather, a strange thief... At least different from ones I've met before.." 

Looking ahead as they walked, Penelope scanned through the trees for a sign of buildings and the village. It seemed a bit distant but she swore that she could make out the vague figure of a building though the trees blocked it from sight most of the time. "Once we reach the village, I'll walk on my own." she added. Last thing she needed was to be seen being aided by a thief. Her own pride prevented her from allowing that to happen.
