Penelope nodded her head in agreement as he mentioned how much smoother the mission would go if Gavin trusted just a little. His suspicion of Crow certainly got in the way of focusing on the tracking down the real thieves. It was difficult to say if it was because of his views on thieves or because of jealousy. In her opinion, it was a bit of both. Knowing Gavin, he was rather strict when it came to rules. He understood reasonings to break them on occasion but those who lived constantly outside of the law likely didn't sit well with the male knight. 

Feeling Crow lean into her, she wrapped an arm around him. The knight hazily recalled him falling asleep on her the night before and wanted to be prepared if he did again. However, it appeared he wasn't going to let himself fall asleep as easily as before as he stretched and spoke up again. Penelope looked up at him and gave an uncertain gaze. "I'm honestly not sure.." she sighed. 

"I imagine they won't be too thrilled.. My uncle will likely deem the trip as a waste of time. But I doubt they've had much success tracking them either since they're all looking for you and your companions." The knight frowned slightly and shook her head. Dealing with the barons when she returned would be tricky. She couldn't claim her mission was a complete failure, otherwise  it would be difficult to request to leave on another trip for Wheldrake, which she already suspected they would have to do. However, she also wanted to make sure they didn't encourage the barons too much about the small lead they had as she worried they'd send out more than just her patrol. 

"I'll just have to be careful with what I tell them." she told him with a shrug. "I have a lead. Regardless of how solid it is, it should be enough for my baroness to at least consider letting me pursue it."
