Penelope was a bit surprised that he continued to try and convince her, especially since they had been working to keep a distance. However, it wasn't too unheard of for him to be stubborn so she didn't question the reasoning behind it. She was about to deny him again when he leaned over to meet her lips in a deep kiss. Her heart began to beat a little faster as she closed her eyes and melted into his touch. It certainly made her resolve waver. 

As he pulled back and casted her a pleading look, the knight bit the inside of her lip as she hesitated to reply. It was true that the threat of William was rather concerning to her but his words made her rethink it. After all, he didn't have any proof that she had gone to see Crow. It was all just suspicion. Plus she had managed to keep him from saying anything about their past so far so who's to say his assumptions, even though they were correct, would change that?

His persistence paid off and she momentarily pulled away from him so she could get up from her chair. "Alright, you win this one." she said, casting him a smile. She stepped over to the viceroy and wrapped her arms around him. Penelope hesitated and glanced towards the door. "As long as you're certain no one else will be stopping by." she added with a hint of worry before shifting her gaze to meet his.
