Penelope felt another hint of relief at hearing him joke, another reminder that he was in a stable condition now. As he added it was worth it to save her, she gave a small sigh. While she was glad they had both made it out alive and was grateful for him saving her, she wished that it hadn't meant him taking the sword for her. She had been much too close to losing him. As he gave a nod, seeming ready to explain himself, the knight tried to pull herself together some so she could listen to him. She waited for Crow to begin and was caught off guard as he pulled her closer instead. 

She relaxed and closed her eyes for a moment as she enjoyed his embrace. At his words, she blinked and shifted her weight slightly as she was reminded that he wasn't completely safe yet. While Jane may have treated his injury, the barons had yet to decide on what to do with the thief. If they decided to kill the thief or send him to prison before he healed enough to escape, there wouldn't be much Penelope could do to save him. "I hope you're right about that.." she mumbled with a deep frown. 

The knight pulled back slightly in order to meet his gaze, her green eyes concernedly shifting to his. "In order to get you here and get them to treat you, I-I had to come clean about working with you to capture Jaxon." she admitted. "My barons and most of the knights aren't pleased with me and they still haven't figured out what they're going to do with you yet. I'm going to try to get them to wait until you're better but my opinion doesn't hold much to it right now.."
