Penelope looked over at Crow as he chuckled. The knight smirked in amusement at his words. "Of course not. I don't think any knight in their right mind would expect to be showing a thief around the castle." she said with a small laugh. Shifting to subtly walk a little closer to him, she swept her gaze over the corridor before looking back over at him. "But then again, there are a lot of things that I have done with said thief that I'd never thought I do either." she added in a lowered voice. 

The knight smiled at him fondly before turning to look back ahead as she lead the way to the great hall. "Honestly, I'm glad I get to show you around a bit. It's not quite exactly the place I wanted to take you around but I've spent a lot of time in this castle so I know where most everything is." she gave a small shrug. Penelope paused in her words as they passed by another guard. She gave a small dip of her head to him as their gazes briefly met before focusing back ahead. Once the other knight had passed, she added quietly, "Maybe we'll have a chance to swing through Bellmare once everything is settled."

She really wanted to show Crow around her hometown, especially since she doubted she would have another chance to after their stay in the castle. Besides that, she also wanted to stop by her actual home. If Crow was going to choose to return to the outer villages, she wanted to take this opportunity to grab the plans she had already began working on for relief to the outer villages. Originally, Penelope figured that she could just rewrite the little that she had developed so far to give to Gavin while they were at the battlefront. But if she was successful and ended the war soon, it would be more sensible to take the chance to just give him the journal she had been using for plans. 

As they headed down the staircase and through another corridor, two large,grand doors soon came into view. She picked up her pace slightly and moved to pull open one of the doors. "Here's the great hall." she announced to him with a smile as she stood back to let him enter first. Since it was still well before supper, she figured the hall would be fairly empty, which was likely a good thing considering she doubted Crow's visit there would be well received by other nobles.
