Penelope gave a small nod at Crow's words and was about to voice her agreement until another voice caught her attention. She turned her head to William walking towards them. Immediately the knight felt a twinge of annoyance. It seemed he was quite determined to try and catch them. While annoying, it also made her slightly nervous. After all, if anyone was going to catch on to them, it'd likely be William considering his knowledge about their history together. 

Forcing that nervousness down, she met William's gaze evenly as he made his intent to stay close to them clear. The knight gave a small snort. "Do whatever lets you sleep at night." she said crossing her arms over her chest. "But if you're going to start accusing me of being an incapable guard, I'd like to remind you that you wouldn't have made it back to this kingdom without me breaking you out or without him saving your sorry ass from mercenaries."

William stiffened slightly at the reminder that Crow had saved him in the past. Penelope noticed and smirked a little. "I'm just saying... If you want to keep bringing up the past, then I won't hesitate to do the same." she said with a hint of challenge in her gaze.

"I don't like how brash you're getting, Vermillion." William growled. "You haven't proven yourself to be capable of handling criminals anyways.. Especially this one." He held his head up a little higher. "There's no way I'm letting you two go unsupervised."

"Do what you'd like." Penelope shrugged and shifted her gaze back ahead. "This works out well for me. I have a meeting with the king in a little so I don't mind someone keeping an eye on him for a moment while I'm busy. Do remember he is the king's guest though." She glanced over to Crow and let out a nervous sigh as she looked back to William. "I should be heading to the council room soon anyways."
