Penelope watched as the thief made his way over to them, noting the younger boy who followed him.  She studied him with some surprise since it seemed the king had already assigned him a servant even though they had just barely returned to the castle. The knight hadn't even been expecting Crow to be assigned one, both due to his history as well as because she couldn't see the thief accepting the additional help easily. Her gaze flickered back to Crow as he settled in across from them.  

The knight raised an eyebrow as she listened to him begin to speak to Naida about not being able to get in the nap that he had wanted. Her gaze shifted over to the boy who had accompanied him as she heard him clear his throat. As she suspected it seemed Crow wasn't too keen about having a servant. She was about to comment on it as the servant left but didn't get a chance to as the thief laid his head on the table. The knight frowned a little at his words, wishing she could at least reach out to take his hand. 

"Things move fast at the castle." she mused resting her arms on the table. Discreetly, she stretched out one leg slightly so it brushed against his underneath the table. "Things will calm down I'm sure. Besides you haven't even been officially promoted yet so you've got some time until then... right?"

Naida looked over at Penelope and then back to Crow, smiling. "Yeah! You'll get used to it..Although I think father is planning to rush into the ceremony."

"Is he?" Penelope looked over at her friend then back to Crow with a subtle frown. They had only just returned and it seemed Crow was already stressed by how much was changing. She was hoping they'd ease him into it a bit more but it sounded as if it'd be the opposite. "Is that what the king wanted to speak with you about?"
