I'm good with before. 
I think it could also lead into a battle started by Younis after this time since it would delay Brerra from attacking. 
I'm thinking when Penelope and Crow meet again the battle will be set for about a week after near Myrefall. So maybe they decide to set up another meeting a day or two before the fight to see each other since the battle will require little traveling and before that meeting is when the other thieves attack. That way Penelope will be a little more convinced that it's Crow and co. who attacked if she thinks they did it to delay the next battle again
