Penelope gave a small nod as he replied and was about to return to glancing around the village when he nudged her. Turning back to him, her gaze followed his gesture over to the farmers reclining in the shade and swept her gaze over the boy he had pointed out. The knight listened as he recounted being help by the family and others during his childhood. While it was warming to hear how the villagers looked after each other, it was also saddening to know orphaned children weren't an uncommon occurrence. 

Though Crow seemed to be looking back fondly on the memory, it was difficult for the knight to imagine bouncing around various households with no familial ties. Sure her family wasn't always the most loving, or accepting at times, but she at least still had them and a home with them. Still, she could understand the gratefulness he must have felt towards the villagers that helped him survive while he was still young.

"Hearing about how everyone takes care of each other out here never ceases to amaze me." she mused, glancing at passing villagers. It certainly wasn't an aspect that one would be able to find amongst nobles. Of course, orphaned children weren't very common. If there was a case where a child lost their parents at a young age, usually they had other family to go to and gold to fall back on. However if a child was truly alone, she doubted anyone would help care of them, aside perhaps from the servants of the household.

 Penelope looked up at Crow and smiled at him. "Hopefully Hazel can help make orphans a less common occurrence around here... And if that medicine from the court physician really works as well as he thinks it will, we can figure out a way to get it to Hazel and the people here." she added on an optimistic note.
