Penelope blinked as she felt him grab her hand and pull her back towards him. She met his gaze for a moment and frowned a little. “I know it is.” She said, a hint of frustration seeping into her voice. Though it was directed towards herself rather than Crow. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and leaned lightly into his hand, finding some sense of security in his touch.

The knight paused. Part of her still wanted to try and act like nothing was wrong but that would require lying to Crow. The mere idea of doing that felt rather wrong, especially after he had opened up so much to her. She just didn’t like feeling so cowardly and weak. Being a knight, she was used to feeling the opposite of that.

Penelope averted her gaze and placed her hand over his. “Thunder and lightening..scare me.” She admitted with clear reluctance. “I don’t remember much from living in the outer villages but.. the one memory that I can recall is of sometime when I was completely alone in the house. I think I was around 4 or 5 at the time and I don’t remember where my brother and father had gone off to or why they left me there in the first place. I just remember hiding under the bed while the house seemed to shake because of this terrible storm. The thunder was loud and the wind was so strong that I thought the house was going to start breaking.”

The knight shook her head as she recalled the memory. With the way the weather was currently, it seemed to resurface easily. She already felt that past feeling of panic and fear mixing with what she currently felt for the storm going on outside. Her heart beat began to quicken again so she tried focusing on Crow again. She looked back up to him and gave a troubled frown. "It’s stupid... It’s something children should be of afraid not a knight...” She mumbled with some shame. “I don’t even think anything happened to me or the house.. Though I don’t really remember.”
