Penelope glanced between the two as Gavin tried to insist on speaking with her privately. As Crow turned to include her in the conversation, she gave a small nod of agreement before her gaze rested back on Gavin. "There's no sense in speaking separately, Gavin. Whatever you tell me now I'm just going to report to him anyways." she admitted with a small, careless shrug. "Can't we just get it over with now?"

Gavin frowned at her words, realizing he was losing the argument rather quickly. "I know but I'd just rather speak with you alone first. Talk to him after if you must, but I'd like to relay my information to you alone, Penelope." he insisted stubbornly.

Penelope eyed him for moment, crossing her arms over her chest. She was a bit surprised by how stubbornly he argued. He usually wasn't so insistent once she gave her opinion but this time he was much more reluctant to give in. Unfortunately for him, the knight could be just as stubborn and wasn't easily swayed by his words. She shook her head. "Gavin, I don't know why you're acting like this is such a private matter but I'd rather not. Can you please just tell us what you learned at the tavern?"

The male knight seemed to deflate faintly at her words. He still hesitated in speaking, casting an accusative glare towards Crow before looking back to Penelope. "Fine.." he said and met her gaze pleadingly. "But just, please, hear me out." Penelope raised an eyebrow at him, a bit confused by his expression and words. However, she didn't get a chance to ask him as he began to divulge into his report. 

"When I spoke with the villagers, they still acted guarded around me, even after they were quite drunk. I'm not the best at this type of interrogation but I know a couple of them mentioned something about being instructed to give some lie. They didn't give me exact details but I'm thinking it has to do with our lead to Azmar. I think it's fake." Gavin explained to her. 

"I recall a woman saying something along those lines too." Penelope said, nodding her head. Before she had gotten drunk, she was able to recall her suspicion of the villagers and the way they were trying to hide something. Though she didn't remember the woman's exact words, she was pretty center it aligned with what Gavin was saying. Her words seemed to encourage the male knight slightly as his eyes gleamed with a bit more confidence. 

"Right but that's not all I learned." Gavin added as his gaze then narrowed on Crow.
