Penelope smirked in amusement at Crow as he acted betrayed. As he agreed to let her go with him, she gave a victorious look that quickly vanished and was replaced with one that was a mixture of embarrassment and nervousness as he moved closer. She knew he was just getting her back for her previous teasing but the distance between them was no joke. She could feel her heart begin to pound against her chest and for some reason she found herself frozen. 

For a moment, she almost swore that his eyes had moved to her lips rather than the ground and her face heated up in response. However, he quickly moved away which ended any assumptions she had been making. [i]I’m going crazy... I actually thought he was going to kiss me there for a moment.. Hoping even.. Get it together Penelope. He doesn’t see you that way.[/i] She thought to herself as she even leaned away from him. The strange thing was that she swore he seemed to be blushing afterwards. She only caught a small glimpse of his face since he turned away but what she had seen, seemed to be red. 

Penelope welcomed the change of subject. Anything to keep her heart from racing and her head from having such outrageous thoughts. She averted her gaze away from Crow and gave a small shrug. “Uhm... We shouldn’t be too far. I didn’t study the map as well as William but I’d say we’ll make it there before the sun goes down.” She said with a casual shrug. 

The knight took a quick glance at Crow before looking away once more. “I’ve been meaning to ask but how did you learn to copy the Younisian accent so well? You seem to know a lot about a place you’ve never been to.” she said. Penelope was really just making conversation though she was a bit curious.
