Penelope got off the horse after Crow and stretched her legs as well. She was a bit used to horseback riding so she wasn't too sore but knowing that they had many days of it to come, she didn't doubt that she'd soon be stiff from riding so much. Grabbing the reins, she tied up her horse as William did the same. She glanced over at her comrade. "Do you want me to take the first watch tonight?" She asked him. 

William shook his head. "No I'll take it again. It'll be better if we keep some kind of sleeping schedule." He responded with a shrug. 

Penelope nodded and stepped away from the horses to set down her bag. So far their first day traveling back had gone rather well in her opinion. They managed to avoid the patrol from earlier and there weren't any signs of more enemies so far. Though, she still wondered what lied ahead. [i]We've faced so much already... what else could happen now?[/i] She thought with worry. Her attention flickered over to Crow as he came back into the clearing and she pushed her concern aside for now. "That's lucky." She mused as he told her about the brook. The knight grabbed the two canteens she had stored in her bag and moved to follow him over to the brook.

"We'll be back." She told William, holding the canteen up as an explanation. The older knight looked over at her and gave a curt nod as he leaned back against a nearby tree, already eying the forest around them to keep on guard. She turned back ahead and followed Crow towards the brook.
