Being stunned to her very core, Penelope didn’t even hear the thief approaching her so when he slung an arm around her shoulders, she jumped. The knight turned her head to see Crow. Her face was red. It had been for a while now due to what Olivia told her and him putting his arm around her certainly wasn’t going to help it lessen. While the more sensible part of her knew that it was likely only him being friendly, she couldn’t help but see his actions in a completely new light. [i]Just how long has he felt that way towards me? And what am I suppose to do now?[/i] She wondered as she stared at him. 

Penelope finally brought herself back to the present as Crow continued to talk. In truth, she only caught half of what he said but she offered a smile, one that almost looked nervous. “Ah s-sorry... Olivia just-“ She paused in between her words. There was no way she could tell him what she knew. “- she just threw me off a little bit ago. Rambling on about less than decent things.” Penelope felt a bit bad about lying to him again. She had always been honest and forthright but she just couldn’t be that way about topics such as what Olivia had told her. 

“But yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what Younis looks like.” She agreed blindly. Penelope was still too aware of how close Crow was to her. She began glancing around, desperately looking for an excuse to move until her gaze landed on the other two knights. “Ah looks like we’re nearly ready so um guess I better go see if those two need any help or something before we head off.” She told Crow, speaking quickly as she stood up and began to head over towards Abraxas and William. Penelope hoped she hadn’t come off as angry towards the thief since she truly didn’t want to upset him. [i]Angry is the furthest thing from what I’m feeling...[/i] she thought.
