Penelope watched as Crow seemed to be just as lost in thought as her. She was curious what he was thinking about as it was like him to get so distracted. [i]Is it still about me?[/i] She wondered. Now that she suspected him of possibly feeling the same, she felt both a mixture of excitement and fear. While she longed to be with him, she was still a knight. How a knoght and thief could ever be together seemed to allude her.

She gave a small chuckle at the innkeepers teasing and nodded her head to him. "I'll keep my eye on him." She promised with a smirk. She turned back to Crow and nodded her head in agreement before following him out of the inn. She began to walk on back the way they had came, falling into yet another silence. 

The knight found heself unsure about what was going on between her and Crow. She kept glancing his way, wondering if she was perhaps wrong but everything seemed to make a little more sense now. [i]What am I even going to do about it? Is there even anything I can do about it?[/i] She felt her face warm up at the thought of telling Crow her true feelings.

She pushed the thought aside and soon focused her gaze ahead as they walked. Hartley and Kip soon came back into view. The two were slightly separated now as Hartley stood off to the side fidgeting awkwardly while Kip kept her gaze low. Penelope frowned at the sight. "Uh oh.." she mumbled to Crow.

Hartley spotted them and quickly made his way over to them. "Did you already tell her?" Penelope asked immediately in a hushed voice. Hartley flinched and scratched the back of his neck.

"Err... yeah.. It just sorta came out while we were talking." He said averting his gaze to the ground.

"And I guess it didn't go well huh?" Penelope said with a small look of worry. 

"No... Er I mean I don't know. She said she needed some time to think.." 

Penelope looked past him over at Kip. She let out a small sigh. "Well stay here. I'm going to go talk to her." She instructed, thinking it might help both of them. She moved on past the two thieves and over to the girl.
