Penelope sighed as William took off. She hoped that her words of warning would keep the older knight on alert. [i]But then again, he hardly ever relaxes anyways...[/i] She thought to herself as she moved to follow him, adjusting the strap of the bag she still carried. She took up the back of the group as William lead them onward. Her gaze shifted over to Crow as he fell besides her. Though they had lost the freedom they had when they were alone, she was at least glad William wasn't pushing his views about handling prisoners on her anymore. It would at least allow them to speak casually. 

"We might." Penelope mused as he brought up Hartley and Kip. She certainly wouldn't mind running into the young couple again for one last goodbye but what concerned her was the route they would take to get back and their dwindling supplies. "The forest will cover us for a few days but it might get too thin to be of much use for cover once we get closer to Hefn... Though I don't think traveling on the main roads is much of an option with your bow and now the staff." The knight glanced up at the sky and crossed her arms as she mulled over their options. 

"We might have to start traveling at night." She suggested. "But before that, we need to find a marketplace to restock on supplies. I still have enough in my bag to get us through a couple more days but between the three of us, it won't last long.. And we need to find somewhere to refill the canteens..." Penelope paused her ramblings and looked over at Crow with a half-hearted smile. "There's a lot to do" She sighed.
