Penelope listened as Crow answered her question guardedly. She was glad he was at least willing to share something with her, even if it wasn't a fully detailed story of what he had gone through. As he mentioned the other thieves being good people, she merely gave a small nod. The thieves had obviously given her a bad first impression, mainly due to how cruelly they had spoken and acted, but she supposed it might just be because she didn't know them well enough. She was glad that Crow wasn't on his own though.

As he went on to describe how he had risen to leadership, she looked over at him with a small frown as he averted his gaze. It was clear he took his position rather seriously, and the way he lost himself in thought for a moment told her that something had likely gone wrong before. She felt a great sympathy for him, understanding the weight guilt could have on a person. "It's fine." She assured him with a small smile. 

Her smile quickly faltered as he asked about Olivia. That one would be a difficult one to answer without speaking more about what had occurred between them. The knight shifted, unsure how honest she should be. She looked over at Crow for a moment, wondering what to do. The knight let out a sigh and decided she might as well be honest with him, otherwise it'd be a difficult question to answer and skirting around the topic would just be difficult. 

"We grew close a little after this happened." She admitted finally, gesturing to the scar on her face. "I returned to my regular castle job and ran into her again there.. Of course, after we ran into her before, she had a few questions for me." The knight averted her gaze as she recalled Olivia's incessant questioning about what had happened between her and Crow upon her return. "She eventually figured out what happened.. between us. At least, parts of it." 

A frown crossed her lips. "I told you that your secrets were still your own and I meant it. All she knows is that we.. were together at one point and that I had to leave. She doesn't know I was planning to leave with you." She added in a quiet, strained tone. Letting out a long sigh, she went on, "Anyways, after that, she kept my secret and she became someone I could trust. We got along pretty well.. Especially since she doesn't enforce the law as strictly as some you know." 

Penelope shifted uncomfortably, wanting to move on from the topic. "So what happened with your aversion to blood?" She asked him, quick to change the focus.
