Penelope struck up a conversation with Naida as she waited for her food. However, the conversation didn't last long as she spotted Crow walking over to join their table. The knight strained to keep a neutral expression as the viceroy stepped over to join them. After a day apart and being unsure if she'd get a chance to seem him that day, she was excited to find out that she hadn't missed him and that she'd at least get to spend some time with him that day. She noticed Naida pull the same stunt she had pulled with her before and let out a small sigh. However, she didn't object as Crow settled in besides her. "Morning." she greeted with a nod to him. 

"I'm glad you're finally here! I was hoping I'd catch you this morning." Naida grinned. She grabbed a small box from besides her and presented it excitedly to the viceroy. "While we were in Bellmare yesterday, we decided to get you a small gift since you couldn't make it and to congratulate you on the promotion."

"Hold on. We?" Penelope smirked. "It was your decision."

"To get something sure but," she held up a finger with a mischievous glint in her gaze. "You were the one that picked out the gifts. Therefore, you're apart of this."

The knight chuckled and leaned back slightly as the servants arrived to place their food down on the table. Sh glanced down at her food as it arrived and then looked over at Naida. "Alright." she said glancing over at Crow with a small shrug. She saw no reason to argue further, even if the princess was clearly trying to use the gift to get the two together. Besides, she was a bit eager herself to see if the viceroy had liked what she had picked out. 

Naida gave a pleased smirk and turned back to Crow with an eager gleam. "Go ahead and open it! I think you'll like what Penelope picked out for you." she said with a wink as she pushed the box over to him.
