Penelope leaned in as he kissed her one more time. Like the viceroy, she savored the moment of having him so close. With any luck, they wouldn't have to wait for too much longer before they could be public about their relationship. Having him close to her like this again just reminded her of just how eager she was to quit sneaking around. The knight was proud to be with him, whether he was a thief or the viceroy,and couldn't wait for the day when she could cease pretending to be uninterested in him. 

As he pulled away, she stood back as he moved to the door. She squinted her eyes as well as the light poured in from the open door and followed him cautiously into the corridor as he gestured to her. Stepping back out, her gaze immediately drifted over to the nearest window, eying it warily for a moment before relaxing once more as she saw it was still just raining steadily. Her gaze focused back to Crow as he spoke up and she let out a small sigh, nodding her head. 

She smiled up at him as he kissed her cheek. "I love you too. And thanks... Good luck with your tutor whenever you have to face him next." she said with hint of concern. The knight still felt a small bit guilty for being the reason he skipped his lesson that day but she had to admit, she was rather glad he had. Despite the storm and her fear, it was one of the best days she had had since their return to the castle. 

Her gaze shifted past him as the sound of approaching footsteps caught her attention. She glanced back at Crow and gave him a small wave before stepping away from him to take up her original guard position. It was good timing too since the person who appeared happen to be the guard taking her off of her shift. She dipped her head politely to the other knight before turning to head off to the Great Hall where she was supposed to meet up with Jonathan. She casted one more glance over her shoulder towards where Crow was headed before turning to focus her gaze ahead as she walked down the staircase. Now alone, the space around her felt a bit empty as she walked. Though, she wasn't alone for long.

"Hey Penelope!"

The knight blinked and turned her head to see Cedric hurrying towards. She raised an eyebrow at him, wondering why the other knight was even headed in her direction. "Hi Cedric. Where are you headed? Didn't they just start serving supper?" she asked him as she met him halfway. 

"They did but I was hoping to catch you." Cedric admitted with a small smile. "I wanted to join you for dinner if you don't mind."

"I don't but I'm planning to have dinner with Jonathan, one of the visiting lieutenants.. I guess you can join us if you don't mind him." she said with a shrug. 

"I don't mind at all." Cedric's smile grew. 

"Alright then come on. He's probably already waiting for me there." she mused as she began to continue on her way towards the room down the corridor. Cedric nodded his head and trotted after the knight.
