Penelope swept her gaze over the room as she followed after Crow. It was her first time seeing this specific room as well, since she hadn't ever had a reason for visiting the viceroy's chambers before. The room was as luxurious as she expected it to be with its large bed and small library. The additional surprise was the small feast that had been laid out, which Crow seemed to lock eyes on rather quickly. 

She smirked in amusement at his words. Looking over it, it was quite a bit of food and the lengths the king was going to to convince Crow to take over the position were quite surprising. It made her begin to think that perhaps the king wasn't as bad as she had previously thought, after all he seemed to be welcoming Crow rather graciously. However, her father's warning to the thief came to mind and again and it made her a little more wary as she glanced around. Perhaps the king still had other motives that she wasn't aware of yet. 

Looking back to the other two, she watched as the attendant moved to join Crow and walked over to sit down in the empty seat next to Crow. She gave a small chuckle at his words and watched as he loaded his plate up with venison. "I bet it's been a while since you've had that." she mused, recalling how he had made the most of their trip to Younis in the past by getting the dish as much as he could. As her gaze swept over the spread, she subtly eyed a couple of tarts that were there as well. However, deciding to wait before going for the sweets, she moved to grab a bit of bread as well as some of the cooked vegetables.

While she was fixing her plate, she noticed that Hunter was now beginning to eye her with a bit of nervousness. Guessing that it was because of her status now that she had joined them at the table, the knight looked over at him and offered a small smile. "Sorry, I suppose I should introduce myself too. I'm Penelope."

"Vermillion...right?" Hunter mumbled. 

She shifted a bit and nodded her head. "Yeah. But don't worry to much about that. I'm certain a guard shouldn't exactly be joining him for supper too." she mused with a glance at Crow. [i]Amongst a great deal of other things..[/i] She added silently.  Luckily her words seemed to allow Hunter to relax a bit more as he hesitantly ate a small bit of the food. As she finished off most of her plate, her gaze shifted over to the attendant again as another concern came to mind. She still had to speak with the king about ending the war. 

"By the way, Hunter.. I was wondering if you could possibly tell the king I'd like to request an audience with him when you speak to him next. I'd like to talk to him about news from the battlefront." she said with a hint of hope.
