The knight managed to spot the viceroy amongst a group of nobles she wasn't familiar with. A smirk found its way onto her lips as she realized he was already getting to work in 'befriending' other nobles. As he gave her a smile and wave, the knight gave a subtle nod in return before she headed on out of the Great Hall. Now alone, the knight stretched her arms and let out a long yawn, already feeling a bit tired from a mixture of poor sleep and waking up so early. 

However, her drowsiness was soon replaced by a ripple of anxiousness as her gaze drifted to one of the windows she passed by. Penelope slowed to a stop to eye the darkening sky, watching as gray clouds slowly rolled in from over distant mountains. It was difficult to tell if it meant a storm was coming over if it would merely be a cloudy day but regardless, it already set the knight on edge. 

She cursed inwardly and forced herself to keep walking. Now that it was getting later in the year, she really needed to start paying attention to the weather more. Normally, when there was a chance of rain, she liked to try and switch her guard shifts around to avoid freezing up on the job. However, it was much too late to do that now that it was time for her shift. Penelope just prayed that the weather would be merciful and that the clouds didn't carry a thunderstorm with them. 

The knight let out a shaky sigh and relieved the other guard that was on duty as she reached third floor. Now in position for her shift, she shifted a bit anxiously as she watched the hall. Like a deer listening for predators, Penelope couldn't help but actually listen for signs of the storm. She wished she could just ignore it completely but the anxiousness and paranoia that came with her fear wouldn't let her. She even caught herself eying a nearby supply closet as a means of shelter. It was going to be a long shift.
