The sound of shuffling stirred the knight from her sleep the next morning. Penelope reluctantly opened her eyes and turned to look over to see her father getting up from his bed. It took a moment for the past day's events to resurface in her mind, most of it nearly didn't seem real. She ran a hand through her hair and slowly sat up. "Morning." she mumbled to her father with a small nod. She stretched for a moment and then got up from her bed and let out a long yawn. 

"So.." Penelope mused tentatively as she glanced over at her father. A hint of hope seeped into her voice as she asked, "...Am I still on guard duty?" Things would likely be changing soon enough with Crow taking his father's offer but she still wanted a reason to be there with him until it did. After all, if his father did approve of him taking a week to go to the outer villages, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to join him or see him for that time. With so much going on, she wanted to be at his side as much as time allowed. 

Unfortunately her father seemed a bit reluctant to let her go, unlike before. The older knight didn't reply and pursed his lips together as he studied her. John let out a small huff. "For now, I suppose." he finally grumbled with a small nod. "He shouldn't be needing one soon enough if he meant his decision last night anyways." He crossed his arms over his chest. "Just don't do anything to make me change my mind about this."

Penelope brightened slightly and nodded her head. "Of course. Thank you." she said before turning to head out of the room. She was glad that her father had agreed rather easily to let her still take over 'guarding' Crow, especially considering what the day would likely bring. She hastened her pace slightly as she headed to his room again, pausing outside to knock before opening the door to step inside.
