Penelope blinked in surprise as he suddenly wrapped her up in his arms. Her heart began to pound at their closeness. His excited look and words made her stomach churn with butterflies. Despite being against it, she couldn’t help but think how cute he looked in that moment, swept up in his elated look. The moment ended sooner than Penelope wanted and her cheeks flushed from her thoughts. The knight prayed that the moonlight didn’t give away the soft blush that was on her cheeks as she took a small step back. “It’s fine.” She assured him a bit awkwardly. 

She moved back to stand in the shadow of a small building nearby, figuring some cover was better than just openly standing out on the street to watch Crow steal. Focusing back on the situation, she crossed her arms and leaned back as she watched the thief sneak into the home. It was interesting to see him operate from afar and a good reminder of how skilled he was. His level of skill was honestly something the knight occasionally forgot as she had grown used to seeing him as Crow her friend rather than Crow the most wanted thief of Brerra. 

It wasn’t long before Crow returned, luckily without any trouble. She rolled her eyes as the thief gave a grand bow and held out the bag he had taken. She pursed her lips together and glanced past him towards the house, still feeling a bit bad for the people whom he had stolen from. Penelope looked back over to meet his teasing gaze. 

“Well.. a little. You certainly know what you’re doing.” She admitted with a shrug, pushing the people they stole from out of her mind as she focused back on him. The knight found a bit of comfort in seeing his skill, even though it was a particularly challenging target. She gave a smirk in return and gave him a playful nudge with her elbow. “But this can’t be a regular thing ok? You’ll have to figure out a different way to practice since I don’t want the people of Younis trying to hunt you down.”

She glanced up at the sky before looking at Crow. "Do you want to head back or keep walking?” She asked. Either way she didn’t want to hang around the area for too long, just incase someone happened to wake up and realize they were missing their coins.
