Penelope gave him a questioning look as he paled. Her eyes shifted over to the bag and it dawned on her what he was talking about. The knight had nearly forgotten about the coins Crow had stolen. She flinched slightly at the thought of the local knights catching up with them. She nodded to Crow and followed alongside him as they hurried back in the direction of the inn. The knight purposely put herself on the side of Crow where the bag was hanging, hoping to block it from obvious view just incase that the peasant was already up and looking for his missing coins.

Penelope, now more awake thanks to the rush the morning had brought her, kept a vigilant eye out as they walked. She kept a bit quiet on their way back to the inn, largely because she was focusing on keeping alert but also slightly due to guilty about what had happened. As the inn came into view, Penelope noticed a couple of local knights patrolling a little further down the street. She watched them with care, unable to tell if they were looking for someone or just making their regular rounds. 

The knight gave Crow a light tap to alert him of their presence. She took a couple steps towards the front door of the inn, hoping they could slip in without being seen. However, before she was even close to grabbing the handle, the door flung open. Hartley stepped out looking around until his eyes fell on the two. 

“There you guys are!” He exclaimed. The boy had a clear look of frustration and worry as he looked at them. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you wake me up!"
