"See ya." Penelope smiled and gave a small wave to the two before stepping away. Once she was back amongst the other nobles, she nervously raked a hand through her hair. She wasn't sure what had cause Naida to ask such questions but the knight could only hope that the princess hadn't noticed her blush. Letting out a sigh, she rejoined her father as the banquet continued on, hoping it would reach its end soon.

As it drew later, the feast eventually finished and the nobles were dismissed. Penelope let out a small yawn, glad that it was finally over. She had been growing bored after spending the rest of the time with her family, listening to John and Krea discuss topics she found to be rather dull. The knight would have much rather spent the time doing something more productive. Though she supposed she was at least grateful she had gotten the chance to speak with Crow, even if it had been brief. 

The knight sighed as she walked down the corridor to her quarters. Once she reached it, she slipped out of the green dress, struggling a little with the ties, and back into her regular clothing. Penelope stretched, letting out a small breath of relief to be out of the movement restricting dress. Looking down at it laid out on the bed, she debated taking it straight back to Naida. However, it was getting late. She was tired and she was rather sure her friend would be too, especially after drinking, so she decided to save it for tomorrow. Surely Naida wouldn't mind waiting a bit before receiving the dress. 

Satisfied with her decision, she carefully folded the clothing and tucked it away on a clean spot on the table besides her bed. She moved and laid down on her bed, letting out another yawn. Now that Crow's ceremony was over, his first true day as a noble would begin and once again she wished she was able to be there besides him. But aside from keeping their relationship a secret, she had her own work to get started on. Once tomorrow came, she wanted to begin truly campaigning for the war's end, which meant she'd have quite a bit of letters to write. She also wanted to work on plans for after the war and there was also a possibility she'd have a guard shift now that she had given her letter to Tybalt. 

There was a lot to think about and her mind continued to buzz even after she closed her eyes. Eventually weariness won out though and the knight's thoughts melted away as she drifted off to sleep.
