Penelope smiled up at him as she heard him laugh at her words. As he leaned in to kiss her, the knight met him halfway. Even though she been prepared for the kiss, she was slightly caught off guard by the passion he put into it. However, she wasn't complaining. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and pressed into him as he held her against himself. When he pulled back, she had to pause to catch her breath as well. At his words, she smile endearingly at him. Though she had just been joking around, it warmed the knight to hear him reassure her of how fully his heart laid with her. She gently caressed his cheek and pressed an affectionate but short kiss to his lips. "I love you too, Collin." she murmured softly. "And I know you will. You've already done so much for me, giving up your life and all. It's more than I could ever repay but I'll certainly try." She pressed a kiss to his cheek and moved to slip her around his middle. The knight began to notice that the sounds of the storm had died down. From what she could tell, the rain had settled into a steady trickle rather than a heavy downpour and it had been a while since the last sound of thunder. The knight blinked as another thought struck her. "Crap, I've still got to meet Jonathan for dinner.." she muttered, mainly to herself. Looking up at Crow she gave a small frown. "Sounds like it's settling down outside...We should probably slip out soon." she said with clear reluctance to leave.
