Penelope looked up at him as he reassured her about taking over her watch. She gave a small chuckle at his words. "Good to know." she said with amusement as she remembered their past journey together and how he usually struggled to stay awake. It was also a little relieving to find out that she wouldn't have to be worried about him potentially falling asleep too. After all, she was sure that would only cause issues in the morning since Gavin was usually the first to wake. 

She was pulled out of her thoughts as she noticed the playful gleam in his gaze as he pulled back from her. Before she had a chance to react, he suddenly swept her off of her feet and up into his arms. Caught off guard, Penelope gave a surprised look and quickly wrapped her arms around him to stabilize herself. She turned to him and rolled her eyes with a laugh as he winked at her. 

"Alright show off, I get it," she teased and pressed a playful kiss to his cheek. "you're awake." She chuckled and smirked up at him. "You can put me down now."
