As a silence fell over them, Penelope lifted her gaze to look up at the sky. It was an uncomfortable silence to her, especially since they had usually spent such times talking in the past. For a moment, she considered just trying to get some sleep, as it seemed Crow intended to stay with her until she was able to return to her camp, but with the knights still possibly looking for them she decided it was best for her to just stay up as well. 

Just before she was ready to try and ignore the awkward silence, he finally spoke up. Penelope turned to look over at him as he asked her about her new job. The knight paused before shrugging her shoulders. "It's.. different." She replied a bit slowly. Though she wasn't sure why, she felt a bit hesitant to talk with him about her more recent life. "It's a lot of meetings, with some less than friendly faces. Namely my uncle.. But I suppose it's alright.

"I have more of a voice than I would if I was a regular knight, which is turning out to be quite useful." She mused, referring to how she had convinced the barons to be mindful of the villagers. There was a hint of pride that seeped into her gaze as she began to speak a little more openly, falling into it a bit natural with him. "My baroness is a good person who I'm glad to serve under.. Honestly I'm not even sure why she trusts me so much." 

Her pride faded and though she tried to keep a more stoic expression, sorrow, regret and guilt managed to faintly cross over her face. "I failed the last mission so badly... A damn war started because I wasn't careful enough." She shook her head, feeling that all too familiar weight of guilt over everything that had happened. Penelope realized she was rambling a bit, going into a rather touchy subject that she normally didn't talk about with anyone, much less Crow himself. The knight let out a sigh and glanced over at him, eager to switch the focus away from her. 

Penelope considered what to ask him about. She decided there was likely very little he would share with her as she thought about the last time she had asked him about his recent past but she still wanted to know what she could. The knight was tempted to ask about how he had learned to fight again but in that moment, decided against it. "A-Anyways..You're not working alone anymore, huh?" She asked quietly.
