"Goodnight." she whispered as he moved to leave. Penelope waited until he was already back in his bed before laying down again. She didn't want the creaking of her bed to stir her father right before Crow was able to sneak off. Settling back into her bed, the knight closed her eyes again and managed to drift off into a more comfortable sleep than before.

"Time to get up."

The next morning woke up to a firm voice. She stretched and turned her head to look over her shoulder. Of course, it was her father standing over her.  She gave a curt nod to him and slowly sat up. Letting out a yawn, she watched as he moved to go wake up Crow next, digging into his pocket to pull out the key for the chain. The knight bit back a smirk as she thought of Crow managing to sneak around her father's efforts to separate them the night before. With him able to pick the lock, the chain was ineffective and it gave her a bit of peace knowing that after the whirlwind that was the day prior. 

Getting up to her feet, she stretched and collected her items from the ground. She slipped her armor back on and turned towards the other two. Her father moved rather immediately to stand closer to her, shooting a glare at Crow. She frowned slightly. It seemed his anger had yet to die down and she guessed that the trip to the next village would go rather similarly as the day before.

"Let's get moving." John said gruffly. "The sooner we get to the castle the better."
