Penelope listened as Crow explained that he had been thinking about it for a while now. She knew he had given the offer some thought, since he hadn't made a decision right away, but she was surprised to realize just how much he had been considering it. The knight never thought he would choose to become a noble and learning he had done so not just because of her showing him around made it all the more shocking. As he also reassured her that he would be happy, she felt her heart begin to beat excitedly as she took in the reality of his decision. 

She dazedly met his lips as he kissed her and as he pulled back, met his gaze as he went on with more certainty than before."If you're sure about this then, ok. We'll be nobles then." she said softly. The knight was reeling from hearing him make the decision. She had never thought he'd choose to become a noble. All this time she had been preparing herself for the time when they'd leave the castle again and return to their plans in the outer villages. It sent a  whirlwind of emotions through her. A hint of relief knowing that she wouldn't have to give up her whole life, a strong wave of affection for him, and a small stab of remaining guilt over the fact that he'd have to leave behind his home now instead. But above all, was a strong sense of joy and excitement that even caught her by surprise. 

Penelope had never thought it was possible to keep both her life and Crow so she had already accepted the fact she'd have to give up her life. For that to change in an instant was overwhelming and it made her tear up. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and pressed a passionate kiss to his lips before pulling back to give him a bright smile with tearful eyes. "Gods, I..I can't believe this is happening." she gave a soft laugh and shook her head before she looked up at him affectionately. "I'm never going to be able to repay you for everything you've done for me but I'll do my best to make noble life as enjoyable for you as I can if you're that certain about this."
