Penelope gave a small nod as Hazel agreed to meet her again in two days. Though the other woman was clearly not looking forward to it, the knight was glad that she finally agreed to meet with the physician, especially when she considered Crow's deteriorating health. She didn't stop her from leaving this time and instead turned to collect her claok from the chair, preparing to leave as well. She threw the fabric over her shoulders and then turned her head to look over at Hazel as she noticed he herbalist hesitate at the door.

What she said next caught the knight a bit off guard. Though the words weren't particularly kind, her soft tone and parting words were more friendly than Penelope had been expecting. The knight blinked and stared after the herbalist for a moment as she turned and left, her momentary friendliness fading too. Penelope smiled a little at the herbalist, a bit glad that Hazel seemed a little less hostile towards her now. She hoped that meant that the herbalist would be a little easier to get along in their future meeting. 

Penelope let the herbalist leave first before heading out after her. She turned off the lamp and pulled the hood of her cloak over her head before stepping out of the building and onto the street as she began to make her way back to camp.

On the way back to camp, Penelope found herself a bit lost in thought, thinking over everything that Hazel had told her during the meeting. While she was happy that the herbalist agreed to work with Jane, there was still a chance that they wouldn't be able to find the cure in time or at all, for that matter. The knight frowned at the thought. She wanted to keep hopeful and positive that they would find the cure in time but after hearing about his poor health, it was getting more difficult.

Penelope let out a shaky breath, wishing she could meet with him. She wanted to be at his side during this uncertain time, knowing she find a bit more comfort and certainty in his company. However, it'd be too risky to try and sneak out all the way to the thieve's hideout so she had to be content with merely hearing the news from Hazel for now.

The knight had a relatively easy time sneaking back into her camp and slipping into her tent without notice. She laid down for the night and eventually managed to fall into a light slumber as her concern for Crow wore her down.
