Penelope gave a small frown as Crow insisted that he had to meet with his companions in the outer villages. She agreed that it would be the best way to get them to listen but she worried that he might not have that option if the king denied his request. If he couldn't travel to the outer villages, he wouldn't have many other options for getting in touch with his companions. For all of their sakes, she hoped that his father was understanding enough to grant him the time away from the castle. Before she could reply, a knock came from the door and she turned her head to look as it opened up. Hunter stepped in and was followed by Eldon. She raised an eyebrow as the physician made his way over to Crow and handed him a strange vial. The knight figured it was for his cough but it didn't look like the medicine that Hazel had prepared for him before. As the physician went on to claim it to be a cure, her eyes widened in thinly veiled surprise. It was hard to believe that the head physician had the cure for his illness but his certainty made it hard to think he didn't. She watched the physician leave before her gaze flickered over to Hunter, who surprisingly remained. The knight had expected him to leave with Eldon. As he stated that the king wished to see Crow already, she blinked and glanced over at the thief, also shocked by how quickly the king was willing to see him. Penelope gave Crow a small nod and got up from her chair as well, feeling it'd be awkward of her to wait around in his room. "Alright." she mused and moved to step out of the room after them. Once out in the corridor, she met his gaze and offered a reassuring smile. "I'll meet you at the waiting room that's near the council chamber, the one my father showed us to before. Good luck, Crow." Penelope gave a small nod of acknowledgement to Hunter before turning and heading off down the corridor. Assuming that his meeting with his father would take a bit of time, she intended to kill it by speaking with Tybalt about her stay in the castle since she'd likely be around a bit longer than she originally expected—even if she was to leave with Crow for a week.
