“Sure.” Penelope mused with a small nod. She turned her attention to the stand as Crow left to look over the produce. She glanced over the various nuts and seeds, eventually beginning to pick out a few to buy, much to the pleasure of the merchant selling them. The knight was barely finishing with her transaction when someone shouted about a thief. She stiffened slightly and whipped her head towards the produce stand, scanning for Crow amongst the crowd and praying he had not been foolish enough to actually steal. 

Her hopes were quickly crushed as she spotted Crow dashing out from below the wagon in an attempt to get away. Penelope quickly grabbed her purchase and began to maneuver her way towards the scene, finding it a tad difficult with the crowd that had gathered. She was surprised to see that the peasants had actually aided in capturing Crow, something that was unheard of in Brerra. Her gaze shifted to the two knights, finding herself holding some respect for them. It seemed they were able to work with and for the citizens, which was something that often seemed lost in her home kingdom. 

Penelope didn’t dwell on it long though and focused her gaze on Crow. The knight sent him an angry glare from the crowd as it was revealed that he had stolen three coin purses. She certainly hadn’t noticed and scolded herself for not paying more attention. She’d get him back for that later but couldn’t dwell too much on her anger. She need to work out a way to free Crow so they could get back on track. 

The knight glanced over her shoulder and frowned slightly. It was unlikely that she had the time to back track and get the help of William and Abraxas. Plus with not knowing the layout of the town, it would take too much time to try and find Crow again. She’d have to get him free on her own. 

“I don’t think so!” the knight laughed. “You’re not getting away from us this time.” 

The other knight turned his head to give a small nod of thanks to the men who had assisted in capturing Crow. “Thank you for your assistance today.” He said gratefully. 

Penelope watched them and glanced around at the crowd. She decided to wait until things died down a bit. It seemed a few were already returning to their shopping but Penelope worried that too many were still focused on the scene. If she tried anything now it was likely that the peasant men would stop her much like how they stopped Crow before. Luckily there was only two actual knights. It made the situation a bit more manageable as Penelope was certain she could handle them long enough to make an escape with Crow. The knight stepped away and headed back towards the merchants, keeping an eye on Crow and the knights.
