Penelope frowned a little at the way Hazel answered her at first. The herbalist was as cold as before, not that she had been expecting anything different, but she was hoping for a little more than the vague answer that she received. She was nearly about to push for more details but luckily didn't have to as she went on to describe what happened. It surprised her a bit to learn that Crow had been using a bow in the last battle. The detail made her recall her previous lessons with him and made her wonder just how much he had improved if had chosen to use the long range weapon to stay out of the direct fight. 

It seemed that he had tried to keep his promise, but as she had worried, it wasn't quite enough. Although, Hazel's story made it sound like his illness didn't have much of a play in his reason for not being there. His injury must have been rather bad to have not healed enough by now. She shuddered at the thought before shaking her head. "Damn it.. I told him he should have stayed out of it.." She muttered to herself. 

Looking back over at Hazel, she gave her an appreciative nod. "Thank you for telling me.." She told the herbalist, feeling like she needed to acknowledge the other woman for both traveling to Myrefall to meet her as well as giving her the story of what happened. Even if Hazel wasn't the warmest of company, Penelope was at least glad to know that Crow was still alive. "You can tell them that they can relax for a little while. The knights aren't too concerned with chasing after them right now, especially after winning two battles." she went on to tell Hazel, deciding she needed to address the formal part of their meetings. "The next battle won't be for a while either.. My guess is around three or so weeks."

With her report to Hazel done, she was about to simply part ways with the herbalist whom she was certain didn't want to be around her for very long. However, the knight paused as another thought came to mind. She averted her gaze to the ground as she added quietly, "Also... Aside from the leg injury.. How is he? His illness I mean.."
