"Alright, I think we're ready right?"

Penelope glanced around at the other two knights as she slung her bag over her shoulder. The next morning the knights had gotten up early to begin their day and thanks to the preparation they did the night before, they would be able to leave rather quickly. Olivia eyed Penelope with a tired gaze but nodded her head in agreement before shifting her gaze over to Gavin. The male knight let out a small sigh and nodded his head as well. She could tell he still had reservations about working with Crow and wasn't thrilled to be chasing after their flimsy lead. 

"I guess we are." Gavin mumbled and then turned to lead the way out. "So where are we meeting him now?"

"Same spot as before." Penelope informed him as the three began their trip out of camp. Her gaze flickered around, eying the passing knights who were preparing for their own patrols. "Hopefully they'll have a bit more luck now..." she mumbled. 

"Why do you say it like that?" Olivia asked. 

Penelope looked over at her friend. "I warned Mia that it could possibly be a different group of thieves than the one we're after.. If we aren't able to find anything in Wheldrake, maybe they'll find something here after all."

Gavin looked uneasily over his shoulder. "You told her about Jaxon?" he asked. 

"Not completely. I just alerted told her that I think we could be dealing with a different group of thieves." Penelope explained with a roll of her eyes. She felt a small pang of annoyance at his uneasiness. The male knight was acting like giving their comrades the idea that there was possibly a different enemy would take away from tracking down the real culprits. Luckily, he didn't push on the topic and merely gave a small nod. She shook her head and focused her gaze back ahead of them. 

A silence fell over the knights as they traveled to Myrefall. Olivia was tired, Gavin was paranoid and Penelope was focused on meeting up with Crow. It wasn't long before they reached the meeting spot at the edge of town. Penelope was just about to look around for the thief when Gavin came to an abrupt stop, becoming tense and resting his hand on the hilt of his sword. 

"What the hell is this?" he growled accusatively. His gaze was focused up on the tree Crow had hidden in before, having learned from his past mistakes. Penelope raised an eyebrow and stepped up besides him to follow his gaze over. In the tree she made out not just the lone figure of Crow but also the other two thieves.
