Penelope smiled as Crow moved to sit down besides her and leaned into her side. The knight pressed into him as well, enjoying their small break together. It was nearly beginning to feel peaceful when Rikki suddenly popped in. Penelope turned her head to see Rikki leaning over Crow with her hands on his shoulders, immediately making the knight feel uneasy again. At her words, Penelope stiffened and bit her tongue. [i]Annoying witch.[/i] She thought with a hint of venom, wishing that Rikki would put some distance away from Crow. 

However, she kept jealousy-fueled words to herself. It would be ridiculous for her to get jealous. Afterall, she was the one that had won the thief's heart, not Rikki. [i]But maybe that's not enough... Am I enough?[/i] The thought sounded unpleasantly from the back of her mind as she eyed the female thief, subconsciously beginning to compare herself to the female thief. Penelope blinked, realizing what she was doing and quickly focused back on the conversation as she realized she hadn't replied. It wasn't a question she wanted to dwell nor one that she ever planned to.

"No thanks." she muttered, unable to keep a bitter edge out of her voice. 

"Oh, are you sure?" Rikki said with a small pout. Penelope swore she could still make out a grin tugging at the edges of her lips though. "Crow can testify to how good they are." 

"Positive." she grumbled in reply. Feeling rather powerless to do anything else—she didn't want to make a scene in front of the others—she turned her head to look the other way. As she did, she unintentionally ended up catching Gavin's gaze. Just when she thought the situation was bad enough, it seemed to get worse as the male knight was close enough to overhear the conversation and was now looking over at Crow and Rikki with a hint of confusion as well as suspicion in his dark eyes. 

Gavin shifted his gaze over to her questioningly and Penelope quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere. She didn't want to have to explain the situation to the male knight. He already didn't trust Crow and him finding out that Rikki was trying to get between them as well didn't sit well with her.
