Penelope forced herself up as William stirred her awake. The knight stretched and then moved to get out of bed. She glanced over at William and Crow as the two spoke, noticing Crow's sudden energy. Despite what he told William, she figured the real reason for his sudden eagerness was the approaching border. [i]He's going home soon and also officially getting his freedom back. Of course he's excited..[/i] She thought with some amusement. 

The female knight picked up her pace and got ready to leave with the others. She walked over to Crow as the three headed out of the inn for the day. Though she didn't share his same excitement, Penelope was still eager to get out of Younis and return to Brerra. She longed for the dangerous mission to finally reach its end. The day she could relax without having to keep an eye out for mercenaries was something she was rather excited for. 

She turned in the key to the innkeeper and then stepped outside with William to wait for Crow as they had done for the past few days. Penelope looked over at William and offered the older knight a small smile. "I bet guarding the castle is going to feel like a vacation after this." She mused. 

"I can't argue with that." William grumbled. "The king better reward us well for all of this."

Penelope just gave a mumble of agreement before looking back ahead. Once Crow returned with the horses, she stepped over and let him get on first again before climbing up behind him. She let out a small sigh. "I wish William would let us keep the horses for the rest of the journey back.. It'd sure make it a little bit faster." She mused quietly, knowing that the older knight would likely insist on getting rid of the horses once they crossed back into Brerra.
