Penelope was a bit surprised to learn that Crow had nearly beat William. She hadn’t seen much of Crow’s fighting abilities so she was admittedly a bit impressed that he could take on the knight and win. She gave a soft chuckle and nodded her head. “I’ll have to remember that when I need back up..” She mused quietly. 

She was glad to hear him assure her that he was fine. “Good because we never got to get the medicine we needed. You’ve had a real knack for causing more trouble today than usual you know?” She teased him with a small smirk. 

Meanwhile, a certain other thief was stirring. Hartley slowly opened his eyes and quickly realized that Penelope wasn’t nearby anymore. He looked around rapidly until he spotted her speaking quietly with Crow. He narrowed his eyes with suspicion as the sight of the two talking close in the dead of night lead him to a couple assumptions. The young thief huffed and hurried to get up. “Hey!” He hissed loudly as he hurried over to the two. 

Penelope turned her head, looking alarmed until she realized it was merely Hartley. “Be quiet would you.” She whispered with a look of warning. She didn’t seem to happy to have the other thief join them but it was at least better than the other knights waking. She glanced around quickly, looking to see if either Abraxas or William stirred. Lucky for her, it seems they remained asleep. 

“Ok, sorry.” Hartley quickly apologized to Penelope before turning to Crow and glaring. “So what’s going on here? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” He asked with a huff as he moved in besides Penelope.
