Penelope pressed close to him as he wrapped his arms around her. She returned his embrace, wanting to enjoy as much of the little time they had left together as she could. "Two days it is then." the knight agreed with a small nod. It was longer than the knight was hoping for but it would likely be necessary. There was no telling if she'd be able to leave camp so quickly after returning from their trip anyways.  

As he leaned in to kiss her, she met him with equal passion as she closed her eyes and kissed him back. She trailed a hand up from his neck to rest softly against his cheek. Her heart flutter as it usually did when he kissed her, reminding her of how the thief had a way of making her heart beat faster than anyone else. It made the moment a bit bittersweet as she knew they'd had to part. 

Once he pulled back, Penelope smiled back at him, panting softly as she caught her breath. "I love you too and I'll see you again soon." she leaned up and pressed one more fleeting kiss to his cheek. "You be safe too and good luck with the other thieves." The knight stepped away from him hesitantly and left to catch up with the other knights. A wave of disappointment over parting with him washed over the knight as she headed off to meet with her comrades. 

A small sigh escaped her lips as she focused her gaze ahead. [i]It's only two days. I'll see him again soon enough.[/i] she reminded herself, despite the sinking feeling that the next two days would go slower than she'd like as well as be more difficult. With barons to face, thieves to catch and a war still going on, there would be plenty to catch up on in the coming days, even though she had only been gone from camp for a little less than a week. The knight picked up her pace slightly, finding a small bit of eagerness to get back to camp.
