Penelope frowned as Crow admitted that Black Hollow had been another dead end. His reassurance didn't do much for her this time but she still offered him a small smile and leaned into meet him as he kissed her again. As he pulled back to ask if anything else happen, she felt her stomach churn slightly. Was she that obvious? Or did he already know something? Regardless it certainly didn't grant her any relief. 

"No.. I'm just worried they'll strike again is all.." she replied slowly as she met his gaze with a soft sigh. She felt terrible that she was trying to lie to him, even if it was really only a partial lie. [i]I'll tell him everything once all of this is settled after tomorrow..[/i] she assured herself to ease the stab of guilt that she felt. "The supplies aren't coming for around another week so that'll leave us a bit vulnerable until then.. I just hope neither Younis nor Jaxon will attack us before then." 

She hoped the added details would be enough to keep the thief from asking further questions or picking up on the fact that she was lying. Penelope leaned in a little closer to him and offered a small smile. "But I think that's enough business for now." she mumbled softly before moving in to press a few kisses along his jaw as she tried to turn the focus back onto the moment at hand rather than what was causing her worries. "It'll probably be another few days before I can see you again so let's not focus on that stuff right now.." Though she said it to him, it was also a bit of advice for herself as she hoped to push past her unease to enjoy her time with him. Determined to do so, she pressed into him and trailed her lips softly down his as she let one hand trail down his side to the hem of his tunic.
