Penelope hesitated at Crow's question about Gavin. The male knight had been improving his lying skills thanks to having to work with her and Crow but he still wasn't the best at it. After all, there was a big difference between lying to some drunk villagers  and lying to an experienced knight. John was a sharp man, if Gavin couldn't lie well enough, he'd likely pick up on something being off between them.

"He's been getting better at lying but..." she paused and shifted her weight slightly. "but I don't know if it'll be enough to fool my father." The knight let out a small sigh as she thought over the situation. Though lying was their best option, it would be difficult to pull off with Gavin. "It can't be too bad though.. I mean, as long as I'm around him and my father, I can help him lie just fine. I'm sure my father will spend most of his time with my brother and uncle anyways. As long as they aren't together for too long, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Suddenly paling, Penelope froze. She let out a groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Crap.. I might have already screwed this over." she muttered as she realized her possibly fatal mistake. Looking back to Crow, she frowned ashamedly. "When my father finished speaking to you, I left Gavin in charge of getting him settled in our camo. I was so focused on getting in here to speak with you I didn't even think twice about leaving them together."

The knight raked hand through her hair nervously. "Oh gods I hope my father didn't ask him anything about our courtship."
