Of course, Penelope had no expectations for this 'interrogation' to go well. Layth was already clearly hostile towards Crow and Crow clearly wasn't restraining himself when it came to speaking with her brother. She glanced at Crow disapprovingly then shifted her gaze back to Layth as she noticed her brother reach for the hilt of his sword. Without thinking over her actions, she advanced towards her brother to place a hand firmly on his arm so he wouldn't draw the weapon. 

As he turned to meet her gaze with an cold look, she faltered a bit but didn't let him go as she held his gaze. "Don't do anything rash, Layth." she growled warningly. "I know how excessive your 'interrogations' can be and you can't do that when the barons want him [i]alive[/i]."

Layth snorted and roughly yanked his arm away from her. "He can survive a couple more cuts. Besides that," he curled his lip at her. "you need to stop defending this cur. You're becoming more of a disgrace to our family with each passing day." He shook his head. "Working with a criminal... Being so weak that a criminal has to save you.. And yet you have the gall to try and tell [i]me[/i] how to do things."

Penelope rolled her eyes at her brother's words. "I'm just trying to do what's right, Layth." she argued.

"The law is right and anyone outside of it is wrong." Layth growled. "If you're too weak to handle dealing with criminals like the rats they are, then go outside. I'm not letting you,of all people, tell me what is right and wrong." 

Layth focused his gaze on Crow again and Penelope pursed her lips together as she nervously watched her brother. She refused to leave since she wanted to be there to stop him if he did go too far. Unfortunately, it felt like it was more likely for him to do that then handle his temper. She shifted uneasily as she tried to think of a way to convince Layth to leave but knowing how stubborn her brother was, she doubted he would until he was done harassing the thief. 

"I want to know how much information you have about us,thief. Especially after work with my foolish sister, I'm sure you managed to manipulate that situation to your advantage." Layth narrowed his gaze on Crow. "I'd recommend answering before I give our physician more work."
