Penelope shifted her gaze over to Crow, raising an eyebrow at him as he went on to rant about nobles. She gave a light laugh as he soon realized who he was speaking to and quickly tried to back track. “Well, as long as you know it’s not all of us.” She said giving a small shrug. She barely got the words out when someone called from behind them. She tensed slightly and turned to see the two noblemen walking up to them. 

The knight relaxed a little as they began pestering Crow about the bow. She was at least glad they weren’t knights but the sudden attention wasn’t that much better. She was eager to get away from the nobles and wasted no time in following Crow as he took her hand and headed away from the nobles. She looked up at him and nodded her head in agreement. “Yeah, I’m not sure how many more of those we might get if we keep traveling on the roads.” She gave a thoughtful look and glanced around. 

“Come on,” She changed her direction towards a small side street up ahead of them. She figured taking the backstreet would eventually lead them out of the town. “We’ll travel through the forest. It’s probably our best option now and not to mention, if I’m going to teach you how to use that, we’d have to go there anyways.” She pointed out with a small shrug. 

Penelope turned down the street, glad to see that reaching the forest wouldn’t take too long. Despite the many buildings and various alleys, she could still make out tall, green trees that stood right beyond the town.
