Penelope nodded in agreement as Crow said he wished they didn't have to part. She leaned into him as he slipped an arm around her shoulders, smiling up at him as he kissed her head. The knight fell in step besides him as they began to walk back. She walked closely at his side, unbothered by the silence as she was quite tired too and found it peaceful enough to be walking besides him.   It wasn't long before the waterfall came into view and a feeling of reluctance washed over the knight. [i]At least it'll only be for three days again.[/i] she reminded herself as her gaze focused up on him as he turned to her. 

She jumped as Hazel's voice sounded from nearby and she looked over to see the herbalist storming towards them. The knight stood back as Hazel snapped at Crow and gave him his medicine. Penelope looked a little amused and gave a nod back to Hazel as she addressed her before leaving. She looked back over at crow and shrugged her shoulders as he apologized. "It's fine." she assured nonchalantly. As he wrapped his arms around her, she leaned into him and met his lips halfway as he kissed her. "I love you too." she told him softly as she smiled up at him. "And I will." She leaned up to press a fleeting kiss to his lips one more time before she stepped away from him to leave.

"I'll see you in three days." she told him with a small smile before turning her gaze back ahead and continuing on her way towards her camp. She walked on down the river, retracing the way she had come from before and soon disappeared into the forest as she headed off towards Myrefall.

It took the knight longer to get back to camp than usual since the new meeting place was a bit farther than the others. By the time she reached her camp, she was more than ready to lay down and go to sleep, feeling drowsy from all of the day's events. As she slipped back into camp, she wasn't quite as careful as she normally was due to not being fully awake as she made her way to her tent. 

"Sneaking back into camp at such a late hour, are we?" 

Penelope jumped at the voice and whirled around to see Olivia standing behind her with her arms crossed over her chest. The other female knight smirked in amusement at her friend's startled expression. She relaxed a little, realizing it was Olivia. "Gods, you nearly gave me a heart attack." Penelope grumbled as she shot her friend an annoyed look. 

"You have only yourself to blame for not being alert enough." Olivia snickered. 

"Yeah, yeah." Penelope rolled her eyes. She sighed. "I'm tired so cut me some slack will you?"

Olivia shrugged. "Maybe. I'll have to think about it. It's still kind of your own fault for not managing your time better during your little romantic getaway." she teased.

"Whatever." Penelope shook her head and smirked a little. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight Olivia."

"Goodnight." Olivia chuckled. 

Penelope, now a little more alert because of running into Olivia, headed off to her tent with out anymore issues. The knight laid down and almost immediately fell asleep, sinking into a deep sleep.
