It seemed Crow hadn't been as successful in getting away from the other thieves again. The knight couldn't help but feel a small stab of disappointment at this new development. Working with Rikki and Alistair didn't bode well with her for many reasons. The most obvious being Gavin's distrust of Crow. He tolerated Crow but surely the additional thieves would test the male knight, which became obviously clear in his reaction to spotting them. Penelope rolled her eyes at Gavin as he continued to act irritably. 

Rikki caught the female knight's attention as she curled her lip at the male knight. There was reason number two of why Penelope wasn't thrilled about the other thieves joining. Thinking about how Rikki tried to manipulate Crow and separate them, she shifted a bit uncomfortably and averted her gaze for a moment. She hated feeling a bit insecure in the presence of the female thief but the reminder of her nearly getting between her and Crow drained away a good deal of confidence. 

Eager to focus on anything else, Penelope glanced over at Olivia as she spoke up and bit back a smirk as she noticed the female knight glancing towards Alistair. She supposed the one good thing that would come from this was a much needed distraction for Olivia. With the other male thief around, there was a good chance she'd be less inclined to try and cause trouble. Or at least, Penelope hoped so. Something told her that causing trouble between the group would be a lot easier now with the additional members. 

Once Gavin finally agreed and the thieves jumped down from the tree, her gaze shifted over to Crow, returning his smile. As he approached and stopped to keep a bit of distance between them, she felt another small pang of disappointment as she recalled that  they still had to hide their relationship from Simon and Alistair, which meant this trip wouldn't give them the same freedom as the last. "I guess so but it certainly wasn't easy." she mused with a small shrug. "I just hope this is the last trip we have to take. I'm not sure if my barons will let me leave again if we end up having to travel someplace else."

She shook her head and then glanced over at the thieves before looking up at Crow questioningly. "I take it you didn't have as much success, huh?" she asked him then paused as she noticed the group was missing a thief. Rikki and Alistair had come but it appeared Simon was nowhere to be found. "Did that other friend of yours decide to stay at camp?" she asked, becoming a bit curious.
