Penelope let out a small sigh as Rikki responded. She was just beginning to think her words hadn't done anything for the situation until the thief went on to thank her and even say she understood. The knight snuck a glance at her, trying to suppress the surprise she felt. She had been hoping to comfort the female thief but part of her didn't expect it to work. Rikki had proven herself to be rather stubborn after all so Penelope figured that she'd merely brush her words off like usual. To see the other woman listen to them and accept them was quite shocking.

As she changed the subject, Penelope picked up on the small break in her voice. Choosing to act as if she hadn't noticed it, the knight merely gave a small nod and turned her head away to watch the pot while Rikki hurried off to get Hazel. The knight let out a long sigh and sat down for a moment as she was now alone. Of all the things that had come from visiting them, she certainly hadn't expected such a talk with Rikki. Still, she was glad it had happened as she suspected Rikki, like Gavin, was finally accepting the fact that the odd pair wouldn't be splitting. 

Leaning back on the palms of her hands, Penelope thought about Rikki's situation and how it seemed she was now accepting that Crow loved her instead. If she had been in the female thief's place instead, she probably would have acted differently about it but the pain would be all the same. That alone was enough for her to feel sorry for the female thief who had been by Crow's side during a large chunk of their time apart. The knight let out a shaky breath, thankful that she had Crow and hoping the best for Rikki as she dealt with her heartbreak.
