Penelope flinched as Crow began speaking to her. She hesitated but finally shifted her gaze to look over at him. Her heart, which had been beating furiously only moments ago, felt as though it had dropped down. It hadn’t occurred to her that Olivia might have been lying. Penelope only assumed it was true. [i]Of course it’s not true... Why would be interested in me?[/i] She scolded herself as she felt another heavy hit to her heart as he finished with a clear ‘nothing more’. The knight sighed and leaned her head back to look up at the ceiling of the wagon. Oh how foolish she had been. 

“I’m sorry.” She said in a quiet voice. Penelope didn’t dare look his way. Even though she never planned to make a move towards him, her feelings remained the same and figuring out that he didn’t share them was still a slap to the face. “She wasn’t trying to turn me against you, Crow. What she said...” She paused. Penelope decided it was best if she didn’t reveal what the other knight had told her. Crow might get the right idea about how she felt. “-she said just to make a fool of me.”

The female knight let out a sighed and looked over at Crow. She thought about moving to her usual spot near him but then decided against it and remained where she was currently seated. “I’m sorry my actions made you think I was against you... Truly I wasn’t. I know you’re not trying to deceive me. Her words just... got in my head and I didn’t know how to handle them I suppose.” Penelope said, attempting to skirt around the topic of what Olivia had actually told her.
