The rest of the day went by just as well as Penelope expected. Her father kept close to her at all times and made sure the two remained separated. Of course, she made no attempt to test him. He had already proven he was willing to hurt Crow despite the king's mission and was clearly willing to strip her of her title as a knight as well. While it soon might not matter due to her decision to run off with Crow, if there was even a chance of them getting out of this mess without running off, she didn't want to risk losing the job she cared about.  

Occasionally she tried to speak to her father but was often met with short responses that made it clear he didn't want to discuss anything with her at the moment. She didn't dare bring up her mother anymore, even though part of her desired to. The way he had reacted to her bringing her up the day prior was a bit confusing as well as hurtful to the knight who had practically no knowledge about her. Eventually the knight just gave up on making any conversation with him and fell silent as they made their way towards Sarton

By the time they reached the village, they had made rather good time. The sun was just beginning to set and John even allowed for another short break to have a small bite of supper before leading them to the nearest inn as it got later. Though he was still in a foul mood, she could tell her father was rather pleased with how quickly they were moving. She imagined he was eager to get to the inner kingdom to follow through with his words about marrying her off. It was still unsettling but she rested a little easier knowing that she'd be able to get away with Crow before he had the chance to arrange another marriage. 

John went ahead and got a room at the inn. He lead the way inside and glanced between the other two. "Same as the night before." he ordered. "Penelope over there, and you there." he said gesturing to the two beds furthest apart. He wasted no time in pulling out the chain from the previous night again, clearly intent on restricting Crow again.
