It seemed all of her efforts were in vain. Despite trying to ignore her uneasiness and Crow's normal efforts during their time together, she couldn't relax like usual around him. Naturally, he picked up on it as she didn't respond to his tricks as usual. The knight frowned faintly as he finally spoke up to ask what was wrong. Penelope shifted her gaze away from him feeling a small stab of guilt. She fell quiet for a brief moment, unsure what to say, before letting out a small sigh of defeat. There was no use in trying to ignore it any longer when she clearly couldn't and now that Crow had noticed, there would be no hiding it anyways. 

"I don't think it would matter.." she mumbled shifting away from him slightly. She met his gaze and offered an apologetic look as she reached out to place her hand on his cheek. "It's not you. I just.." she paused shifting her gaze away from him as she struggled a bit with an explanation. It had already felt bad enough lying to him before that she really didn't want it to go any further. She wanted to talk with him about but she was still hesitant to do so, especially since she was still planning on holding up her agreement with Gavin. 

[i]But would it be so bad if I talk about Gavin getting attacked?[/i] she wondered. It wouldn't give away her plans for the following day and it could ease her mind a bit. Suddenly, the knight found herself leaning towards opening up to the thief since hiding hadn't worked out for her very well. She just had to be a bit cautious of how she brought it up.

Penelope frowned and let out a long sigh. "I didn't want to bring it up but...something else did happen at my camp." she finally admitted after a long pause. She didn't meet his gaze, feeling guilty for lying to him before, and wrapped her arms around herself. "Gavin was attacked a couple nights ago.. Probably would have been killed if I hadn't heard them scuffling. It was just one man and Gavin ended up killing him before we could ask any questions so I don't know if that was a sign of a second raid or-or something else. It's been bothering me because I just.. I don't understand what it means and I didn't want to bring it up because well..you know how Gavin is so.. I figured the less you knew about it the better.." Everything flowed out like a damn suddenly breaking. Though it relieved a bit of pressure, it certainly didn't make her feel much better as she avoided meeting his gaze, unsure how he'd react to learning that she hadn't been honest with him in the first place.
