Penelope remained tense as she awaited a reply from the herbalist. The fact that she didn't deny her right away gave the knight some hope that she was truly considering her words. After a moment, Hazel finally agreed and Penelope let out a quiet sigh of relief. Though Hazel clearly still wasn't thrilled about working with a noble physician, just her agreeing was enough to make the knight feel a little more at ease.

She was about to thank the herbalist and go on to try to organize a meeting but instead Hazel caught her off guard as she questioned her about her care for Crow. Penelope blinked, surprised to learn that Hazel knew about them. [i]Did Raven tell them?[/i] she wondered. The knight didn't linger on the thought for very long and instead focused back on Hazel. 

"Well... Materialistically, you're right. He can't give me anything and being with him is going to mean giving up the life I currently have." she admitted with a small shrug. "But I want to be with him. I might have to give up a lot but I gain a future with him." The knight felt her cheeks heat up, becoming a bit bashful at her words. She scratched the back of her neck and sighed. 

"It's difficult to explain but I'm not looking to gain anything aside from simply being with him. It's not logical. It never has been." she smiled a little as she thought of the thief and shook her head. Meeting Hazel's gaze again, the knight cleared her throat a bit awkwardly. 

"Anyways, I have to speak with the physician but can you meet me again in two days?" She asked hopefully. "Also I think we should meet at the tavern that's near here instead of this place. Does that sound alright?"
