Penelope turned and began to walk down the staircase. The knight was quick to get lost in her thought on the way down the winding steps. There was a war to stop and plans to get back on track, which left her feeling like there was a lot to do. However, she didn't even know where to start. She had already talked to the king about ending the war and she had a rough idea of her plans for after it but nothing was solid. [i]I guess I'll just start with figuring out how to get the barons on board with ending the war..[/i] she exhaled softly. 

As they reached the bottom of the staircase, she looked back to Crow and gave an amused smirk at the sound of his stomach growling. "I'm sure there's still a small feast waiting for you in your room." she mused. Though it was getting late, she doubted the servants would clean up the food until early morning anyways. How fresh it would be might be debatable but at least it would still be there upon his return. 

When he spoke up again, she blinked and gave a small nod. "Of course." she said firmly. She had already figured that he wouldn't want word getting out that he was going to accept the offer before he even got the chance to tell his father himself. Penelope casted him a small smile. "I won't say anything... I'm sure word getting out before you even talk to him won't be good anyways." Her smile faded as she thought of the other nobles reacting to Crow rising to the position of viceroy. Though she was excited that she wouldn't have to leave her life behind, there would still be challenges for them. Especially for Crow. 

She frowned a little and let out a sigh. "A lot of people aren't going to be happy about this I imagine." she muttered, lowering her voice as she lead the way out of the tower and towards the garden again.
