Penelope nodded her head as Naida pointed out it could still be some time before the banquet ended. Not only were they drinking but she was rather certain the nobles would want to take up extra time for gossiping. It wasn't often so many powerful nobles were gathered in one place like this so she was sure they'd want to make the most of it. Even if some of them were upset over the results of the day. 

She was about to comment on it as well but didn't get the chance as the queen spoke up to Naida. Penelope shifted a bit awkwardly and averted her gaze as the queen chided her daughter. She remained a bit tense, unsure what to say afterwards. Since she was still getting used to thinking of Naida as a princess, it was a bit intimidating to the knight to hear the queen speak so sternly. Luckily, Crow eventually spoke up and the knight relaxed once more. She looked over at Crow and smirked in amusement at his words. 

"Definitely no way you're sneaking out of this." she agreed with Naida as she glanced around. Her attention shifted back over to them as Naida teased Crow about no woman wanting him for a suitor. She shifted a bit uneasily at the topic, especially as Naida pointed out he could 'have any woman he wanted'. Though she had no concern about his feelings for her, it did make her wonder how his new family would react to them being together. 

She didn't get to dwell on it long though as Naida addressed her. "Thanks." she smiled at her friend, appreciative of the compliment until she went on to ask Crow for his opinion. The knight blinked in surprise and looked over at the thief, unsure what to do as he offered a casual comment. She gave him a small nod and hoped the subjected would be dropped. Instead it got worse. 

Penelope blinked again as Naida then asked her about Crow. She hesitated, unsure what to say. The thief's new look had caught her off guard earlier and she had still been adjusting to it. In all honest, he did look quite handsome. Of course, she couldn't just admit that willingly. "Certainly a big difference from before." she replied with a shrug as she quickly shifted her gaze away from Crow. Despite the knight's wishes, she felt her cheeks grow a bit warm. 

She turned her head to glance back at the nobles before looking back at the other two, trying to hide the faint blush on her cheeks. "I should probably get going. If anyone else wants to wish any fake congratulations I'm sure they won't like me holding up the line." she mused casually with a smirk.
