Penelope stood back as she watched Crow secure the bow and staff to the stallion. She eyed over the setup and gave a small shrug. "I think it'll well enough." She mused before William added his two-cents. The female knight turned her head to shoot the other knight an annoyed look at his complaining. As William began to move towards Crow, Penelope grew tense and watched the older knight's movements with care. The two had already gotten into a fight before and needless to say, she didn't quite trust William at the moment. 

She clenched her fists, feeling anger boiling inside her at William's threats. Penelope protectively shifted closer to Crow as she watched William. As he commanded her to help him with the saddlebags, she hesitated. Every fiber in her body wanted to defy him, especially now that he was threatening Crow's life. William narrowed his eyes at her as she didn't move. Penelope held his gaze for a moment before it shifted to look over at Crow. Not wanting to risk Crow's life, she attempted to bite down her anger for a moment. "Fine." She growled as she moved to begrudgingly follow William over to his horse. 

William gave a pleased look at her obedience and turned to head over to the gray mare. "You'll thank me once you come to your senses." He said with a shrug at her cold glare. "Some distance from him should help with that." 

He stopped besides the mare and began to pick up the saddlebags. Penelope pretended to move to help him. Now that they had stepped away from the thief, Penelope balled her hand up into a fist and cocked it back at the unsuspecting William. With a lunge forward, she landed a punch to his nose. The older knight staggered backwards and dropped the saddlebags as he held his now bleeding nose. "Penelope what the hell!?" He snarled with outrage and moved to grab the dagger at his hip. His eyes already began to focus on Crow. 

"Don't forget about me you old fool." Penelope hissed as she brandished her dagger from her boot and lunged at William. He grunted as he moved to block her blade. The older knight was furious at the sudden betrayal and swiped his dagger at her side. She dodged with ease. Having fought alongside William before, she knew most of his moves. However, that also meant that he knew most of hers as well. For a moment, the two were locked in very close combat as their blades clashed with every block. 

Finally, Penelope took the older knight off guard as she slipped past his defense. However, instead of holding her blade to his throat, she dealt a cut to his hand wielding his weapon. He winced and loosened his grip on the dagger for a brief moment. She used her free hand to snatch the dagger away from him before he could recover and held up her own weapon to his chest. William remained tensed as he glared at Penelope. For a moment, the two knights tried to catch their breaths. "Yield, William." Penelope finally spat dangerously. "I saved your ass from that dungeon don't make all that work go to waste." 

In truth, her threats were likely hollow. She felt angry but she doubted she could so easily bring herself to actually kill her comrade. However, she knew she needed to get him to stop as he looked ready to tackle her rather than accept defeat. William narrowed his eyes at her and curled up his lip. "You'll regret this, Penelope." He threatened as he wiped away some of the blood that was still trickling down from his nose. The older knight finally backed down slightly as he checked over his wounds. "Once we get back to Brerra, you'll both pay."

"Whatever." Penelope mumbled as she let out a sigh. "Either way, you won't be killing anyone without this. And if you do try something, I'll be there to stop you, William. You can count on that." She added threateningly as she held up the daggers before tucking away both weapons into her boots. She stepped away from the older knight to move back besides Crow.
