Penelope let her conversation with Gavin die off as she noticed Crow walking back over to her. She smiled as he moved to her side and wrapped his arms around her. "Yeah, it's a simple job." she told him with a small shrug. The knight shifted closer to him as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Hopefully it'll be good." Penelope was rather sure it would, mainly because she didn't have much to do with how it would taste. Gavin was still the one in control of that and given his history, she trusted the meal would turn out well. 

As he held her gaze and leaned in closer, the knight blushed at his words and felt her heart flutter in her chest at the thought of being his wife. She closed her eyes quickly and met his lips as he kissed her, eager to distract herself from the bit of awkwardness she felt from thinking about their seemingly distant future together. 

The knight was a bit surprised at how passionately he kissed her, especially since he had previously mentioned wanting to be more subtle with the other thieves around. She supposed it must have been due to Alistair's current absence and the fact that it seemed he had gotten Rikki to give them more distance. Whatever it was, she wasn't going to argue as she pressed back against him with equal passion. When he eventually pulled back, she let out a breathless chuckle. "Me neither."

Before she could say anymore, Gavin cleared his throat awkwardly and forced his gaze back over to Penelope. "You can put the vegetables in now. The water is ready." he said. 

"Alright." Penelope nodded with a hint of embarrassment for kissing Crow like that so close to the male knight. Deciding not to dwell on it, she quickly focused back on the task at hand and carefully dropped in the chopped up vegetables as Gavin instructed. She glanced down at the pot before looking over at Crow with a small smile. "It'll probably still be a little while before it's ready if you want to go rest a bit." she offered.
