Penelope looked over at William as the knight clearly didn't approve of the two riding together. She bit back a smirk as Crow caught the older knight off guard with his words. As she suspected, it wasn't too difficult to get William to let them ride together. She turned back to Crow as she helped him up into the saddle behind her. She glanced back at him and smiled a little before turning back to face William as the knight began to ride towards the door.

She gave the stallion a soft kick so he would begin walking towards the exit of the stables. "Just make sure you're ready when we have to take off. Falling off can be pretty painful." Penelope warned Crow as she looked ahead. She watched as William peaked out of the stables to make sure there was no one around before he rode the gray mare out of the stables. Penelope followed him out, glancing around as she rode. They were about halfway to the tree line when she heard the back door open. 

"Hey!" A sharp cry sounded from what Penelope guessed to be the stable boy.

"Hold on!" Penelope told Crow before giving the horse two kicks, urging it forward. The stallion quickly bursted into a gallop towards the treeline under Penelope's control. William had already set his mare to gallop ahead of them, being much faster than the stallion that was weighed down by two people. Once they had disappeared back into the forest, the two knights slowed their horses down. Penelope glanced back to make sure they hadn't been followed. Luckily the forest was quiet and she guessed that the boy had easily given up as they rode off. She relaxed a little and looked back ahead as they traveled. "So what do you think so far?" She asked Crow quietly.
