Penelope was glad to see Crow relax a little at her words. As he thanked her, she just gave a wordless nod and looked elsewhere as the thief headed for the door. She looked up as he addressed her again and wished her luck. She felt her heart flutter a little at his words. [i]Stop that..[/i] She chided herself. "Alright." She agreed as he added that they could meet up again after it. She watched him leave the tavern and leaned back against the table they had sat at. 

The knight waited a moment before heading out of the tavern as well and walking back towards her camp in the opposite direction.

Upon returning to camp, she was glad to see that Olivia was still on guard. It would make sneaking back to her tent much easier. She walked over towards the other female knight and gave her a small wave. Olivia spotted her and a wide grin spread across her lips. "Well, well, well Look who's back from her 'meeting'." She said suggestively. "How'd it go? You better tell me about it this time. Especially since I'm the one covering for you."

"I just told him what he needed to know. Nothing more, nothing less." Penelope said with a shrug. She paused before adding in a stern tone, "And stop acting like something's going to happen... We're not even friends anymore, let alone anything close to what you're imagining." It stung a bit to say it out loud even though she knew it was the truth. Crow and her had become distant, it was only natural after what she had done and the choices she had made. Penelope knew she had to let him go again, even as a friend, but damn it was difficult, especially when they were going to be meeting more consistently now. 

"You say that yet you're out here sneaking off to give him information, taking risks just to make sure he's safe." Olivia smirked. "Say what you want but it certainly doesn't add up~"

Penelope snorted. "Well he was important to me. Of course I'm going to make sure he's safe. Just like I'm making sure my brother and the rest of our comrades are safe."

"Riight." Olivia said, making no effort to hide the fact that she didn't believe Penelope's words. 

"I'm going to bed." Penelope grumbled, having enough of Olivia's insane accusations. She turned and walked off leaving her friend behind as she stepped carefully over to her tent. Taking off the peasant clothes and stuffing them away along with her cloak, she settled down for the night, soon falling asleep.
