Penelope nodded as Crow went over the details for their next meeting. "Alright." she agreed as he told her where to meet him. At his parting words, she returned his smile. "I love you too. And of course I won't." she smirked a little in amusement. "I'm usually the one telling you that." As he pulled her close, she quickly returned his embrace, despite feeling a bit uncomfortable since she was aware of Gavin watching them.

She leaned up to meet his lips, kissing him back. Though it was a bit spiteful of Crow, Penelope didn't fight it since their meeting had been ruined. Due to her own assumptions and Gavin's refusal to leave, their meeting had not been quite as enjoyable as it usually was. The kiss didn't completely make up for it but it certainly helped. She even felt another stab of relief that she had been wrong about her guess that Crow had been behind the devastating raid on her camp. 

As he pulled back, the knight smiled in amusement at his wink. "See you." she mumbled as she watched him leave. Once he was out of sight, she turned to begin the trip back to camp with Gavin. She met the other knight's gaze briefly before quickly focusing her gaze back ahead. "We should get back." she muttered, a bit coldly. She was still a bit angry at him for following her and now she was rather certain Crow had been right in his guess about Gavin still lying in wait. Though she had been trying to keep her guard up around him before, she felt a little more inclined to distance herself a bit from him, especially after how strongly he had tried to convince her that Crow was lying to her. 

Gavin fell in step besides her and remained silent for a moment before letting out a small sigh. "Look, I'm sorry." he finally mumbled. "I just can't trust him that easily.. And I was fine with staying out of it until our camp got attacked.. I just couldn't ignore that."

"Neither could I but I'm not so dense as to ignore a man telling the truth." Penelope responded curtly. The female knight let out a sigh and shook her head. "Gavin.. I chose him and I'm not going to change my mind. I need you to understand that."

Gavin shifted his gaze to the ground, falling silent for a moment before mumbling, "I do... But that doesn't mean I'm just going to stop caring about you, Penelope. And I'm still going to help you."

Penelope hesitated and then gave a resigned nod. She supposed she couldn't ask for much more from the knight. His help could be valuable in helping her get out of camp to work with Crow in the coming days so she'd just have to bare with his distrust of the thief and hope that it would die down the more he worked with him. The two knights fell into an uncomfortable silence the rest of the way to their camp. They eventually parted ways, heading to their tents for the night.
