Penelope smiled a little as Crow seemed to accept her idea. She was rather certain it would work though, even if it wasn't the most enjoyable thing to do. After all, if those nobles thought they had Crow's favor—and there for the king's as well—they'd likely be resistant against any other noble trying to push him out of the seat. It wasn't absolute loyalty or friendship but at least it was some sort of barrier between him and those that wished him out of the castle. On the downside, it likely meant she'd be seeing even less of him. If he was going to fit in with those nobles, he was going to have to spend some of his already limited free time with them. The thought was rather disheartening to the knight as they had already been struggling to find time together as it was. "That's likely." she mused in agreement with a small smirk. "I'm sure you won't have much trouble with them. They'll be too excited at the prospect of earning favor with the king to focus on much else." Noticing he had finished his supper and having told him all she needed to, the knight let out a sigh. "I better get going. I've gotta wake up early tomorrow to try and find those lieutenants you mentioned." she slowly rose up to her feet and gave him a half hearted look. "Hopefully I'll see you soon. Good luck with the nobles until then."
