Penelope smiled at him and nodded her head. She took his hand and got up to her feet as well. She followed him into the other room where the bedroll was still out, unlike those of Gavin and Olivia. She guessed that Gavin had likely assumed they would be leaving and had packed up his bed prematurely and made Olivia do the same in the process, leaving them both with the additional work. Penelope moved to lay down, watching as Olivia gave a sour expression as she laid out her mat, before turning her head to glance over her shoulder at Crow as he wrapped his arms around her. 

"I will too." she mumbled in agreement as she laid her head back down. The knight closed her eyes as she savored the feeling of being able to fall asleep in his arms. His words reminded her of their limited time together. Though she did believe they would be going on a trip to Wheldrake soon after they finished their current one, she still wasn't looking forward to parting with him. 

"I love you too." she replied, smiling softly. Penelope moved to rest a hand on the arm he had wrapped around her. Not feeling as tired as him, she didn't fall asleep right away and instead remained awake, thinking about what would come after their mission. Going back to the usual meetings was going to be difficult after being able to spend so much time with him as of recent. A quiet sigh escaped her lips as she turned over-careful not to disturb the sleeping thief- and looked over at Crow. 

Having fallen asleep much faster than she had, she quietly studied his sleeping face for a moment, enjoying the time she did still have with him. She felt a swell of affection for the thief as she thought about how warm his presence was besides her and how peaceful he looked sleep. It was going to be difficult to sleep alone again after getting spoiled for a few days with him. [i]We'll have the rest of our lives after the war though..[/i] Penelope reminded herself, trying to fight off that sinking feeling of heavy disappointment. Snuggling closer to him, the knight closed her eyes again and eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Penelope woke up slowly as she felt Crow wrap his arms around her and press a kiss to her cheek. Drowsily, she fluttered her eyes open and looked over at him with a soft smile. "Morning." she mumbled, right before Gavin came back into the room. The female knight blinked and turned her head to look over at the male knight as he quickly urged them to get ready before heading out to wait for them.

"I guess not." she mused in agreement with a small smile. She leaned over and pressed a kiss to his forehead. "Guess we'll just have to try and buy some time later." She shrugged her shoulders and then let out a long exhale. "But for now, we better get ready to leave."

Reluctantly, the knight pulled away from him and got up from the bedroll. Penelope yawned and stretched out her back as she waited for Crow to get up as well then moved to begin collecting their supplies, grabbing the bag she had been carrying.
