Penelope remained tense as she heard movement come from behind a nearby. However, the knight immediately relaxed as an all too familiar figure stepped into view. "So it was you." she smiled back at him as she lowered her sword. Before anymore could be said, the thief suddenly closed the distance between them. She automatically let her weapon drop to the ground besides them as she moved to wrap her arms around him as she kissed him back. 

After nearly three weeks apart, she was quick to lose herself in his touch. The feeling of his lips against hers, his arms wrapped around her, the warmth of his embrace, all of it she had missed dearly during their time apart. She became rather joyful that she didn't have to wait another three days to see him again. As he finally pulled back, she smiled up at him and gave a small nod of agreement. Her green eyes studied him for a brief moment, thinking about when Hazel had met with her in his place when his illness was at its worse. 

Her expression became more serious and she let out a soft sigh, "You have no idea.. Gods for a moment, I thought I was going to lose you." The knight pressed into him, finding comfort in his touch. Even though he wasn't completely over the illness yet, him being there at least meant he was out of immediate danger for now and was better than what Hazel had described to her after the battles. It was nice to finally see that for herself. Penelope pressed a kiss to his cheek before pulling back slightly to look over her shoulder. 

A frown crossed over her lips and she looked back to Crow. "You should get going soon." she told him reluctantly. There was a lot she wanted to talk to him about after being apart for so long and she also didn't want to move out of his embrace, however, it would be dangerous for them to stay like that for too long. Jane would likely alert the guards on duty as soon as she reached the camp, which meant they'd be coming to help her deal with the attacker.

"I'm sure the guards will be charging out here to help once the physician alerts them and from what I hear you're still sick." she paused and reached one hand up to brush back a strand of hair from his face. "I don't want to part with you so soon but, with any luck it won't be for as long as before. I spoke to Hazel earlier about setting up a meeting with you in three days."
