The male knight felt a hint of satisfaction as he noticed how his sudden appearance threw off the thief. If he had been looking to attack, he could have easily taken Crow by surprise. Lucky for him he wasn't. At least not at the moment. Gavin wanted answers from this criminal but he still wasn't sure what would come after. He'd have to decide that later and instead, focused his attention on the daggers that the thief drew from his waist. 

As Crow finally spoke, Gavin smirked haughtily. "Can't even think of a good lie to save your ass this time can you?" he said shaking his head. He took a threatening step towards the thief and glared at him venomously. "Too many of my comrades have died because of you and I'm not going to stand back and watch you take advantage of Penelope. I'm not going anywhere cur. Not until you start talking."  He had to get answers about what had just happened. After all, he had only heard a small portion of what the two men had been talking about. When the time came to tell Penelope about the thief's manipulation, he wanted to make sure she had no reason to doubt him. 

"That man you were speaking to, it's that other thief you have us chasing around isn't it?" he asked with a demanding tone, studying the thief with a careful gaze. In his time having to work alongside him, Gavin had seen the thief lie plenty and he had no intention of letting him lie to him now. "What was it that I heard about you working with him? An alliance is the term I believe I heard. Why don't you started with explaining that and how much he's paying for your loyalty. I'm guessing it must cost a pretty gold coin or two?"
