Penelope wrapped her arms around him as he pulled her into an embrace. She fell silent as she listened to him reassure her that the gods weren't controlling them as she thought. The knight shifted slightly, unsure if she trusted his words at first. Afterall, just because they had failed didn't mean they hadn't been controlled in her opinion. But perhaps, they didn't meddle as much as she was originally thinking. As he pointed out the gods feeling the need to speak with them, she gave a small nod as he brought up the valid point. His words eased the knight slightly. If they felt the need to speak with them, then their choices must matter quite a bit. 

She met his lips halfway as he leaned in to kiss her, placing her hand over his as he caressed her cheek. As he pulled back, she gave him a small, halfhearted smile at his playful wink. "Thank you... I needed to hear that." she mused softly. Penelope relaxed a little and leaned up to press an affectionate kiss to his cheek, holding him a little closer. She rested her head on his shoulder for a moment and let out a soft sigh. "I don't think I'm going to be fighting the gods on this one though...It sounds like too much is at stake."

The thought of Toreus' warning made the knight shudder. For both kingdoms to be at risk of destruction, whatever trouble was on the horizon must be a dangerous foe. She'd have to figure out a way to convince the king to seek a peaceful end to this war since it sounded like anything else would mean destruction. Penelope pressed a little closer to Crow, taking comfort in his warm embrace before finally letting him go and taking a step back so they could continue to the inn.. "Which means we better get some sleep since we have a castle to get to." she murmured, reaching to take his hand.
