Crow didn’t get as much sleep as he would have liked that morning. Just as he began to drift off again, he felt Penelope shift against his side, indicating that she was awake. At first, he felt her wrap an arm around him, and he exhaled softly, wondering if she was going to let him keep resting. He hoped so. Just thinking about the distance they had left to walk made him feel exhausted. However, it seemed he wouldn’t be so lucky, because it wasn’t long before she pulled away from him to get up.

“Right, okay…” he mumbled tiredly when she said they needed get ready. Although, he made no attempt to sit up yet. Instead, he took another long moment to lay in the comfort of the warm bed before he forced himself into a sitting position, yawning broadly and giving his head a quick shake to try and clear it. When he felt a little more alert, he turned to Penelope with a mischievous smile and wrapped his arms around her tightly, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

“Gods, it’s good to wake up next to you again,” Crow sighed. “I hope it won’t be much longer before we get to do this every day.” Feeling more awake, he touched one more kiss to her cheek and then let go of her so they could both get up and get ready for the day. When he’d gotten his boots back on and shouldered his bag, he stepped over to the door and turned to the knight with a grin, “Ready, love?”
