Penelope smiled at him as he assured her that his mind was made up. "Just making sure." she said with a small laugh. As he went on to explain that he had already asked Hunter to tell the king he wished to speak with him, the knight was a little surprised he was moving forward with his decision so fast. His confidence was reassuring to her and she felt her heart begin to beat with a hint of excitement again. 

As he went on to mention his companions, she nodded her head in agreement, leaning back in her chair. She didn't know his companions very well but they seemed like good friends and good people—even Rikki, whom she wasn't overly fond of. "They don't." Penelope mused in agreement. "And hopefully your father will allow you go." The knight crossed her arms and gave a thoughtful look as she wondered about the king allowing Crow to leave. It'd be a somewhat difficult request to make, especially since she wasn't sure if his father would trust he would return. 

"Well, if he insists you need a guard or something to accompany you, you can always throw me in." Penelope told him offering him a smile. "I can use that time to go speak with the barons personally instead of writing them like I planned if it works out like that." Thinking it over, she realized it might even be easier than trying to write them. After all, it was faster to argue in person rather than over letters. Her only worry was that Mia might insist that she stay at the warfront. With so much to do within the inner kingdom, she hoped that the baroness would understand her decision to leave, especially since part of it was to convince the king to end the war in the first place. 

She shrugged and met his gaze. "Even if he doesn't agree, I'm sure we could still figure out a way for you to meet with them.. It just might have to be somewhere within the inner kingdom rather than the outer villages." she said.
