The day went by relatively quick, something the knight was incredibly grateful for. Tomas taught her a few different moves with the shield and Penelope even found herself improving quite a bit at using it. It still felt strange to wield the weapon alongside a sword so she doubted she'd be using the combo in battle anytime soon though. They ended their training in the late day and Penelope spent the rest of her time with Olivia, relaxing a little before the time would come for her to sneak off to see Crow. 

Luckily it wasn't long before the sun fell from the sky and Penelope made her way out of camp. She weaved carefully away from the tents, making sure she was alone as she began to travel towards the meeting place. [i]Follow the river from the waterfall.[/i] She repeated the herbalist's words in her head as she headed towards the river. The knight was a little worried she wouldn't be able to find the meeting place, after all she hadn't been to it yet. However, Hazel had made it sound like it was easy to find so the knight focused on following the river. 

Passing the waterfall and heading further upstream, the clearing soon came into view and with it so did Crow. Penelope smiled and picked up her pace to see him, but faltered as she noticed how he was pacing around the clearing. Perhaps he was just impatient? She glanced at the sky, wondering if should have left camp earlier. The knight didn't dwell on it for too long as excitement of seeing him again took over. 

She stepped into the clearing and smiled at him affectionately. "Hey stranger." She paused for a moment then quickly closed the distance between them overcome by her excitement of seeing him again. She wrapped her arms around him as she pressed a passionate kiss to his lips. After a moment, she pulled back and looked up at him as she let out a peaceful sigh, "Thank gods it was only three days this time."
