Penelope smiled and wrapped her arms around him to return his embrace. She intertwined her fingers with his as he took her hand and gave a small nod. "No kidding.. He found your weak spot that's for sure." the knight said with a small chuckle. As he offered for them to join him, she gave a small nod, smiling at his playful words. "Well, I can't say no to that." she mused. 

"I'll pass for now." John shook his head. Penelope glanced over at her father before turning to step over to the table to with Crow. She wasn't sure why John didn't want to join them since she was rather sure he had yet to eat breakfast yet. Perhaps it still had to do with a matter of his pride and Crow being a thief,though he didn't seem bitter when he spoke. Either way she didn't question it and sat down besides Crow. 

"Anyways, while you two eat, I better go over a few things you need to know while we're staying here." John went on taking a step to sit down in the other empty chair. "For now, you're the king's guest, which means you're free to wander the castle... Aside from a couple rooms that are outbounds of course. The guards have been alerted to this. They're not supposed to do anything more than watch you, provided you don't cause any trouble of course."

His gaze shifted over to Penelope for a brief moment before looking back to Crow. "That being said, Penelope and I will be your guards until a decision is reached. The king has made his intentions clear enough so it's more so for your own protection rather than restriction."

"Tybalt didn't insist on other guards taking over?" Penelope asked curiously after swallowing a bite of her food. 

"He did but I denied him and told him to take it up the king himself if he had that big of an issue with it." John explained with a shrug. "The king's trying to win him over while still trying to keep their relation a secret. He knows I won't say or do anything against that. And I'm sure he won't have much issue with me involving you in this, seeing as how you came here with us." John paused for a moment and then looked back over at Crow. "So, if Penelope is busy and you need assistance at some point, come find me."
