Penelope laced her fingers with his as he took her hand again, giving it a small squeeze. She noticed there seemed to be a bit of tension between Rikki and Crow but she didn't bother to ask about it as Crow spoke up instead. The knight nodded her head. "Yeah it's all fine." she assured him then paused before correcting herself. "Well, as fine as it can be." She gave a small frown as her gaze flickered ahead towards Gavin, who was walking alone at the front. He remained tense but now he seemed to be glancing over his shoulder less so she took it as a sign that he had at least accepted the group for now. 

"He's not exactly thrilled about having the others with us..I think he just wanted to see if I knew anything about them coming." she replied, keeping her voice down. The knight glanced over her shoulder towards Olivia and Alistair. Olivia seemed rather distracted now that the other male thief had joined and though Olivia denied any feelings for him still, Gavin seemed to pick up a bit on their closeness. 

Looking back to Crow, Penelope leaned in close to him, dropping her voice down to a whisper as she added, "Plus seeing Olivia and Alistair flirting like they do certainly hasn't help. I imagine he's not very fond of the idea, that not only one, but both of his comrades are involved with thieves." She gave a roll of her eyes and looked back ahead. "He probably thinks you two are tricking us to turn against him or something. Regardless, I think you guys will need to be a bit more careful around him at the moment.. At least until he gets a little more used to working with you or at least less suspicious."
