Penelope nodded her head. She watched as Crow pulled out the small parcel and raised an eyebrow at him questioningly but remained quiet as she waited to see what his plan was. As he turned and took off towards the woods, she followed closely behind, only glancing once over her shoulder to see how close the knights were. She gave an amused look as she noticed a couple had stayed back to inspect the parcel that Crow had dropped, quickly realizing it was just a distraction. 

She looked back ahead at Crow and felt her heart race excitedly. Running from guards with him and his grin quickly hit her with a strong wave of nostalgia. She easily recalled a couple times they had ran from enemies together during their journey. That moment nearly felt like nothing had changed as she followed Crow through the forest, racing towards the western side.

Perhaps a little distracted by the feeling, she suddenly felt her right foot sink into a small hole in the ground, likely caused by a rodent. The knight grunted as she felt to the ground, causing for her foot to twist awkwardly. Not wanting to fall behind or let the knights catch up, she hurriedly tried to scramble back up to her feet. However, as soon as she placed a bit of weight on her right foot, pain shot up from her ankle, nearly making her crumble back to the ground. Penelope let out a small gasp of pain and was forced to lean against a nearby tree as she favored her right leg. "Just keep going!" She told Crow blindly in case her fall had caught his attention. 

Sounds of the local knights approaching caused for a surge of panic. Penelope looked back over her shoulder with a hint of fear in her gaze. She wouldn't be able to keep with Crow and that meant, she wouldn't be able to get away. [i]It's fine.. Crow can still get away.[/i] She told herself, putting on a braver face as she tried to keep herself from panicking at this new development. [i]I can handle this.[/i]
