Penelope peaked her eyes open as it grew light out. Morning had come much too soon for the knight who had been out most of the night so she was rather reluctant to get up. She groaned, knowing it was probably best for her to wake up now rather than sleep in order to avoid drawing any attention to herself. Slowly, she got up and headed out of her tent to start another day. The memory of the night before danced in her head, almost immediately perking the drowsy knight up. It was strange to think that after two years, she was with Crow again. With everything that had happened, she had been so certain that she'd never be able to be with him again. Though they still had quite a bit to deal with, she was merely happy that she hadn't lost him. 

Her brief moment of joy quickly faltered as Gavin crossed her path. The male knight was heading in the opposite direction as her and the two both paused as they looked over at each other. Gavin frowned a little and then averted his gaze before continuing silently on his way. Penelope let out a small sigh and shifted her gaze away from him as she quietly walked onward. Gavin had been someone she had grown rather fond of over their last year together. The distance between them now was a bit unsettling and she couldn't help but wish for them to still be friends despite her decision. 

[i]I won't even see him or any of the others after the war anyways. I have to get used to letting people go.[/i] She reminded herself as she focused her gaze back ahead. She spotted Olivia up ahead and headed over to the other female knight, eager to spend some time with a more friendly face.

"Morning." Olivia greeted as Penelope reached her. She looked her over and then smirked a little. 

Penelope narrowed her gaze at Olivia. "What's that look for?" She questioned. 

"Oh nothing.." Olivia mused airly as she began to look around elsewhere. "It just seems to me you didn't straighten up your hair as well as usually do... I can't imagine what might have you that distracted."

Penelope blushed and quickly moved a hand to further smooth down her hair, which had admittedly been a little less well kempt than usual. She supposed in her drowsiness she hadn't paid as much attention to her appearance as she usually did in the mornings. "I guess I was just tired this morning." 

"Oh?" Olivia questioned with a snicker. "Tired from what exactly? If I remember correctly, I don't think you had any guard shifts the night before... I wonder what else it might have been.."

Rolling her eyes, Penelope gave Olivia a small shove. "Shut up." She grumbled. 

"I'm assuming I'm finally right, aren't I?" Olivia laughed. Her eyes gleamed mischievously. "So how was he? Was he any good or was it disappointing? You've gotten in the way of me ever finding out so the least you can do is give me some details."

"We're not talking about this." Penelope groaned pinching the bridge of her nose, partially to hide the redness of her cheeks at Olivia's chosen topic of discussion. "I don't go asking you about details, can't you give me the same courtesy?"

"You say that like I'm holding out information from you. Well if you're curious," Olivia snickered crossing her arms. "that Alistair is quite something, you know a few nights ago we tried this thing wher-"

"That's not what I meant." Penelope said, quickly cutting her friend off. She looked at Olivia and shook her head. "You're a pain in the ass."

"Excuse me for simply trying to find out what's going on in my good friend's life." Olivia said with mock offense. She grinned. "Alright fine, fine, I won't bother you for those details. Come on, let's go get something to eat and you can start explaining what went down between you and Gavin the other day."

Penelope hesitated before giving a small nod and moving to walk with Olivia to grab food. "Fine. But I do expect to hear a couple details about what's been going on between you and Alistair. Preferably not overly descriptive ones mind you." She told her as they walked. She enjoyed the other knight's friendship. It was strange to think that she had once viewed Olivia as less than pleasant company. Though the female knight did still annoy her at times, she was her closest friend and someone she trusted rather greatly. It would be hard to eventually say goodbye after working with her so much over the last two years.
