Penelope looked up at Crow when he said he insisted on staying up with her. She was glad that he wanted to spend the time they had left together as well. Even though she did partly believe that he should still try to get some sleep, she was feeling a little selfish and didn't bother to try and argue with him. "Well, that's quite alright with me." She joked quietly before following him as he took her hand to lead them away from William. 

As they stopped, she stood closely besides him as he leaned back against the tree. The knight swept her gaze over the quiet forest, enjoying the peaceful moment they had together. Her attention turned back to him as he suddenly broke the silence. There was a small look of confusion that crossed her face as he went onto thank her. However, as he went on she instead became a bit bashful as well at his high words of thanks.

She closed her eyes as their lips met, even a bit caught off guard by the passion he put into the kiss. However, she was quick to match it as she pressed into him, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Eventually she pulled back to catch her breath but stayed close to him, nestling her head against his. "I love you too, Collin." She breathed softly, even though William was asleep and at a distance she was still careful to keep her voice low when using his real name. 

Penelope smiled up at him and placed a hand on his cheek. "You know.. You make me happy, more than wealth or any high title ever could." She told him honestly, wanting to make sure he didn't have any lingering guilt about her leaving her home to be with him. She shot him grin. "And I can't wait to see the outer villages with you. Hell, I can't wait to just see you again and you haven't even left yet."
