Penelope gave a soft laugh at his words and nodded her head. "I'll keep that in mind." She mused with a smirk as she looked up at him. Now that they were venturing out of the area of where the knights were searching, she was able to relax a little and enjoyed  his company, despite all the day had put them through. As he advised her about going back, the knight paused for a moment to think it over. 

The travel would be rather far and making up excuse for her disappearance would prove a lot more difficult. She was a lieutenant after all and Mia was likely expecting her to return to camp quickly, if she had realized she had disappeared that is. However, she didn't want to leave Crow to travel alone. Though it was unlikely for him to run into any patrols the further he got, there was still a potential of him running to danger with local guards or just his illness acting up again. Plus the knight couldn't help but want to spend a little more time with him while she could. 

Even though it'd be difficult to convince Mia and the others about the reasonings behind her long disappearance, Penelope felt a bit certain that she could do it. Afterall, she had gotten away with quite a bit so far and no one seemed even close to suspecting her of working with the thieves. However, after she got back, she'd definitely have to proceed more carefully to make sure suspicion didn't arise. Surely it was something she could handle though.

"It's fine." She assured Crow. "I'll be able to handle them when I get back. I just might have to make sure to keep a low profile for a while after. They might think me a bit reckless when I return but it's fine, I'll figure a way to lessen that eventually. I'll give them some false leads on which way you guys headed and hopefully that'll satisfy them into thinking I tried tracking you guys down as well as discouraging them from looking near where we're headed."
