Penelope gave a small nod to her father's words as he finished explaining to them about the current setup. She was grateful that her father had managed to work her into being one of Crow's guards. It would certainly make hanging around him much less suspicious and if they ran into William again—which she had a feeling they would—it would provide them with a decent cover. William could suspect them all he wanted but without any sound proof, he wouldn't act recklessly and say something about their involvement with each other. 

She snuck a glance over at her father. He had likely taken that into consideration too after hearing from William. It struck her that he was probably familiar with having to sneak around. Now that she thought about it, him and her mother likely had to go through similar challenges with keeping their relationship a secret. Though, perhaps not quite to the same degree as her and Crow due to his criminal record.

Her thoughts were broken as another knock came from the door. She sat up a bit straighter and shifted slightly away from Crow. The next moment, the door opened and in stepped Hunter followed by someone else. She watched as he averted his gaze almost as soon as he noticed her father had joined them. John didn't seem to think much of it though and merely watched the attendant as he waited for whatever news he had brought. As he turned to address her, the knight felt her heart being to beat anxiously again at the thought of—not only facing the king—but the consequences that the gods warned her about if she failed. 

Coming back to herself a bit, she casted Hunter a polite smile. "I see. Thank you, Hunter." she said gratefully. Her gaze shifted to rest on the other man that had came with him, curious as to what other business he clearly must have come for since she doubted he was just looking for her. 

John had also been studying the second man and then looked back to Hunter, focusing his gaze on the attendant. "Did you need something else with one of us?" he asked.
