Penelope looked over at him as his stoic expression broke at her words, giving away to an eagerness that made her heart beat a little faster out of fondness for the thief. The knight tried to ignore it, chalking it up to just being excited to see a better glimpse at the part of him that hadn't changed rather than any feelings that remained. Regardless, a small smile crossed her lips. "I'll speak with them in two days. Luckily I already have the support of the baroness I'm working under, which is a good thing since I nearly thought I was going to lose my position today after giving out some... false orders during the battle." She spoke a little less formally, encouraged by the brief break in his stoicness. Though it had been small, it had her feeling a little more relaxed around him."I don't know if they'll listen.. Their forces have been out here longer than ours so it might be possible that they won't want to change what they're doing. They clearly haven't cared so far so it'll be tough to change their minds." She admitted on a less than optimistic note. However, she lifted her gaze to meet his, a small blaze of determination in her green eyes. "But I'll do all I can to change that." She assured him. With nothing more to inform him about, Penelope moved to stand up from her chair to leave. She paused and looked back over at Crow. "I'll meet you again in two days after the meeting." Judging by his excitement, she guessed that the thief would want to know the results as soon as possible. And, if she was being honest, she wanted to share them with him as soon as she could too. Though she wanted to help the outer villages regardless, she also desired to help Crow as well as not let him down again.
