Penelope looked over at him with a small look of alarm as he mentioned the man threatening to cut off his arm. She hadn’t been able to understand what the two were talking about since they had been talking in a foreign language though she guessed the exchange hadn’t been a kind one. “Screw the mission, who knows if you’d have even survived that.” She mumbled shaking her head at the thought. Losing a limb would could have easily been a death sentence for him, after all she was no healer. She could dress a wound but something more serious like that would leave the knight panicked and unsure what more to do than applying pressure. 

She broke away from the thought as Crow spoke again. She let out a small sigh and nodded her head in agreement. Penelope moved over to sit down besides him. She took his good hand in hers and leaned over to kiss his cheek. “Well, luckily I’m still here so you don’t have to find out.” She said softly. She looked at him with a warm gaze that had a hint of sadness. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost you either though.. I nearly thought I was going to today..” She shook her head at the thought. 

Penelope met his gaze for a moment, feeling thankful that they had both made it out alive, before leaning in and kissing him. She closed her eyes and slipped her hand away from his to lightly mess with his hair as she kissed him. Keeping the kiss fairly short, she pulled back slowly and rested her forehead against his. “I really do love you, Collin.” She mumbled softly and gave a small, playful wink as she remembered to call him by his real name.
