Penelope and Gavin soon reached the camp. A couple of her comrades commented on her late return as she headed towards the center of camp to speak with Mia. She felt a bit of worry build in her as a few of the other knights seemed to eye her suspiciously, though she guessed it was only natural after how long she had been gone. Gavin gave her a small word of goodbye before heading off towards his tent and Penelope focused back ahead as Mia and Tomas came into view. 

Mia quickly caught sight of her and narrowed her eyes at the lieutenant. She marched over to the knight and crossed her arms. "Where in the hell have you been!" She demanded immediately. "I thought you were going to stay in camp yesterday and then Gavin tells me you're out searching for the thieves on your own! Are you mad?" 

"She was worried about you." Tomas added quietly. "Those thieves are dangerous."

Penelope dipped her head. "I'm sorry, Mia. I just wanted to make up for losing him the last time." She said with false guilt. The knight frowned and looked over at the two. "I didn't mean to stay out so long either.. I got close to catching them so I decided to try and track them down. I lost track of time on the way.."

"And of the thieves from what I can see." Huffed her uncle who had now stepped out of the tent. He glared down at Penelope. 

"Unfortunately yes.. I got down near Silverpool and by then I lost their trail and it was too late to return back by then." She admitted lowering her gaze again. 

"Well it doesn't matter now." Tomas said softly. "We got the stolen supplies back and it seems we've chased off the thieves for now, right?"

"Right." Mia grumbled with a glance towards Edward. The baron held her gaze for a moment before turning and beginning to walk away from the group. She turned back to Penelope and shook her head. "I don't know what got into you but I certainly hope that was the last of it." The baroness remarked sharply. "You're nearly starting to act as careless as your brother and that is not a change I admire."

"It won't happen again, Mia. I promise." Penelope said. She wasn't sure if she could keep that promise, but hoped that she could considering how furious the baroness currently was with her. With a week until she met up with Crow again, she would make sure to repair the damage done to Mia's trust. 

"Make sure of it." Mia muttered with a firm nod. She looked over Penelope and gave a soft sigh. "You should go rest. Seems you had a long day. We'll talk again tomorrow." 

"Thank you." Penelope said gratefully before turning and walking off. Her stomach growled with hunger. Having not eaten since the day before, the knight wasted no time in heading off to grab some food. She let out a small sigh and glanced around the camp as she walked. Tension seemed to have died down in the camp, something she was glad to see. Penelope hoped that meant that the knights were no longer sending patrols to look for the thieves. It would make her job a lot easier if she didn't have to worry about them finding Crow and the others.
