"Great." Penelope smiled as Crow agreed. She laced her fingers with his as he took her hand and followed after him as he began to lead the way out of the clearing. Of course, they didn't make it far without resistance from Gavin. The female knight let out a quiet sigh as he questioned them and turned her head to look over at him as he tried to insist they stay. As she suspected, his argument was rather weak and she gave a nod of agreement with Crow's words. "We'll be back." she assured the male knight before turning to leave.

However, just before they left the clearing, Crow made certain to get in one more remark. She rolled her eyes and shook her head disapprovingly. Penelope didn't say anything though and continued on until they had put some distance between them and the camp. The walk was calming as she momentarily let a small silence fall over them, merely enjoying his warm presence at her side. She eventually began to slow down to a stop as the forest gave way into another small clearing. 

Penelope glanced up at him. "You know.. despite everything, this mission sure does have its perks." she grinned before letting go of his hand so that she could wrap her arms around him in an embrace. She leaned up and pressed a tender kiss to his lips. Though they had spent the whole day together, they had had very little time to actually be as close as she would have liked, both due to Gavin's interference and the need to keep moving. 

After a moment, she pulled back and let out a soft sigh as she met his gaze. "I'm worried it's going to make going back to our usual meetings even more difficult than before."
