Penelope smiled a little more at hearing his laugh. Although there was still a rather big sense of gloom, she was at least glad there wasn't enough to make him wallow in it. She shook her head and fell quiet again as she merely enjoyed being in his embrace for the time being. Now that she had been able to talk with him about what the barons were deciding as well as stop suppressing her own worry, she felt a little more at ease and focused more on his warm presence than the looming decision that would be made at her meeting in the morning. 

When he spoke up again, Penelope hesitated as he suggested her laying besides him. There were quite a few risks involved if she choose to do that. Even if she was near the edge, there was still a likelihood that someone would enter the tent before she was able to get off the bed. On top of that, there was also his injury to worry about. It was still fairly fresh, especially after Layth's involvement, and she worried about accidentally causing him any pain if she laid down next to him. 

[i]I supposed it'd all be fine as long as I stay awake though...[/i] Despite the risks involved, she was heavily tempted to lay down next to him. While embracing him like they had been doing was fine to the knight, it was difficult to do for very long without her back feeling a bit stiff. Plus, with everything going on, she wanted to remain as close to him as she could. Not to mention she found it rather difficult to say no to his pleading smile. She supposed that as long as she was careful, it would be alright for her to lay besides him. 

"I doubt anyone aside from Jane would stop by this late." she told him shifting slightly as she glanced towards the flap of the tent. "..I guess it'd be alright for a little while." Penelope gave him a small smile and press a quick kiss to his lips before she moved out of his embrace only so she could shift herself onto the bed besides him. The knight moved to lay on her side at the edge of the bed besides him, keeping a small amount of distance between them out of concern about his wound. "Just don't let me fall asleep." she told him with a small smile.
