Penelope slung the bag onto her shoulder. The added weight didn’t help with her already sore body but the knight hid away any discomfort. Luckily it wasn’t too bad so the knight found she could ignore it rather easily. She looked up at him as he tried to ease her worries. She smiled back at him and let out a small sigh. “Yeah.” She agreed. [i]I just wish we had more figured out already..[/i] She added to herself. 

She nodded her head in agreement as he brought up the knights. “You’re probably right. Sneaking around the knights in these parts won’t be too easy. I just hope we can steer clear of them the rest of the way.” She said as she followed him. She glanced ahead as he pointed at an alley up ahead. “Finally.” She said with a small grin. She walked on and glanced down the alleyway as they reached it. Sure enough, it would lead them back out onto the road. Penelope stepped ahead of Crow to check to make sure there weren’t any knights nearby. Luckily, it seemed there were only a few nobles hanging around with no knights in sight. 

“At least the streets are busy like in the other towns.” She said, trying to be a bit optimistic as she stepped back out onto the road. “And lucky us that the nobles don’t quite work with the knights like the peasants do.” Penelope imagined that Crow’s stunt to steal the bow likely wouldn’t have worked if the marketplace had been filled with the peasants instead.
