Penelope took a small step back to give Crow room as he joined her on the ground. She nodded her head as he asked about their trip to the store. “Pretty much.” She said with a shrug. The knight turned her attention over to William and Abraxas as William turned to address her. She walked closer to join the other knights. At the news that she would be traveling in her usual spot with the back, Penelope managed to keep a serious expression and only gave a small mumble of agreement despite being quite happy about hearing this new information. 

She watched as William walked off to his horse, clearly not happy about the current predicament. She glanced at Crow and nodded her head in agreement. “Oh I’m sure he is.” She said with an amused expression. She turned and followed the two thieves into the back of the cart. She sat down at her usual post near the exit and leaned back against the wall of the wagon. 

“I was hoping I wouldn’t have to constantly stick my head out of this thing just to talk to you.” Hartley said excitedly as he sat down near Penelope. “Though, those other two are fun to mess with.”

“I wouldn’t mess with William too much though.” She warned, shaking her head. She wondered if the kid ever took anything seriously. He always seemed so carefree, something Penelope just couldn’t wrap her mind around. “Also what were you two doing to Abraxas earlier?” She asked, glancing between Crow and Hartley. “The poor guy seemed freaked out.”

“Nothing! We were just messing around.” Hartley said innocently before shooting a knowing grin towards Crow. “He just doesn’t have any sense of humor.” 

Penelope rolled her eyes. “Right..” She said with a small smile. The knight turned her head to look out the cart. “Well at least neither of us are stuck with them now.” She told Crow, also feeling pleased that she no longer had to spend her time in less than desirable company. The knight was much less on guard since she knew William couldn’t keep a close eye on her and Crow now that he was stuck riding with Abraxas. Though, admittedly she did pity Abraxas a bit. The slightly younger knight would constantly be lost on what to do with the two thieves if he had been forced to stay back there.
