With Tomas taking over her guard shift, Penelope went ahead and grabbed a quick dinner before going to locate Olivia. She wished that she had had more time alone with Crow. His presence was relaxing and she wanted to by his side as much as she could, both because of her love for him but also because she simply wanted to keep him company while he was stuck in a camp where his enemies greatly outnumbered his friends. She gave a small sigh and glanced up at the darkening sky. She supposed it wasn't a terrible thing that Tomas had came early. Now she had plenty of time to speak with Olivia and slip out of camp. The knight soon spotted her friend and quietly discussed slipping out of camp to go pay the other thieves a visit. 

"Boy, it's favor after favor with you lately, isn't it?" Olivia said with a dramatic sigh. The other female knight quickly perked up and shot her friend a grin. "I'm in though but uh, might I ask why we're going to see them so suddenly?"

Penelope hesitated at the question, shifting a bit uneasily. She was reluctant to tell Olivia about Crow's illness as she believed the fewer that knew about it the better. However, she supposed there was no sense in trying to hide it from her friend now when it would come up once she spoke to Hazel. "Well.. do you remember that herbalist I had Jane working with before?"

"Yeah?" Olivia raised an eyebrow curiously. 

"Well... The cure they were working on was for a disease that's usually fatal... Crow had it." She explained then gave a small frown. "Actually, he still has it but thanks to the medicine it's not life-threatening. But now that he's got that injury, his occasional cough is bad enough to bust the stitches. Jane can't find out about his illness so I figured the next best option is to visit the herbalist and hope she's able to give me something to help him so he can recover properly." 

Olivia gave a small whistle and leaned back on the palms of her hands. "What a mess." she gave with a small chuckle. "Hopefully she can help you then, Penelope. When should we leave?"

"Soon. Once it's night fall."

The two spent the majority of the evening talking until eventually the sun sank completely so they prepared to slip out of camp. Luckily it was rather easy. With the thieves having been dealt with and Crow currently in their custody, the knights seemed only concerned with the potential threat of Younis so guards were focused more on the side of camp closer to the border. Penelope walked alongside Olivia as they headed towards the waterfall where she knew the thieves to be located. As they drew closer, she walked with a bit more caution as she remembered Crow's words of warning. 

She rested a hand on the hilt of her sword and slowed to a stop as the waterfall came into view. Penelope glanced over at her friend and noticed Olivia looking ahead rather eagerly. "Be on guard." she warned her. "Crow said they'll be wary of anyone who approaches them so they might attack us without thinking." 

"Where exactly is their camp anyways?" Olivia mumbled with a hint of confusion. "I know it's near here.. But I don't even see a spot for it."

"It's behind the waterfall.. I've never be inside it myself but I think I see a path. Follow me." Penelope instructed as she took the lead and headed to the path behind the waterfall. She stepped carefully as she neared the entrance. "Alistair? Hazel? Rikki?" she called out, hoping they'd recognize her voice before she stepped into view.
