Penelope watched as Crow hesitated in attacking her. He was taking quite a bit of time in trying to figure out how to attack her.  [i]He’s thinking too much..[/i] She thought as she watched him look for an opening. When he finally moved, the knight didn’t miss a beat. Metal clashed as she swung her dagger to meet his half way. The force of his attack caused her to step back slightly. “Finally. I thought the day would end before you’d move.” She teased him as she pressed back against his weapon for a moment. 

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to overpower him, Penelope drew back her dagger and slipped to the right to avoid his attack. What the knight lacked in strength, she made up for with her swiftness. However, she was nearly tempted to hold back on her attacks as she wanted Crow to get a little more familiar with attacking rather than defending. [i]The knights at the castle won’t hold back so neither can I. He’s just going to have to keep up..[/i]

Reminded of their limited time, the knight moved in for an attack. Now on the right, she attempted to slip past his defense with a slick swipe of her dagger at his shoulder. The move wasn’t complicated but she hoped that her speed would at least catch him somewhat off guard.
