Penelope glanced up at him as he admitted that he was keeping his companions out of dealing with this other band of thieves. She figured that it was probably for the best, though her reasoning was far different than his. If his companions had joined him, she doubted the group would work very well together. Gavin would likely not react well to working with more than just one thief and she guessed that Simon wouldn't be too keen on working with the knights. [i]Not to mention Rikki would be here too..[/i] She frowned at thought. Though she wasn't sure what was going on with that situation, the knight certainly didn't like the idea of working with the female thief after hearing about what had happened. The only ones that might get along decently enough were Alistair and Olivia, and that was only because of just how familiar they were with each other. She focused back on Crow. "That's good.. I doubt working so closely with me and the other two would go over well with them, anyways. And Gavin's already giving you a hard time as it is.. I can't imagine him dealing with the others very well, even if you are his main target." she sighed and shook her head. The knight paused and gave him a curious look. "Crow, what is your history with this group? I wanted to ask earlier but well.. I figured it was best to wait until we were alone."
