Penelope smiled softly at the former thief. "I love you too." she murmured back before turning to leave. She headed to the door and pause as she cautiously opened it, peaking out to make sure the corridor was clear before stepping out of his room. Now alone, she made her way to the staircase, treading a bit carefully as she neared William's post. Luckily the older knight just shot her an accusing glare that she was quick to brush off with a snort. 

With no resistance upon her return to her own room, the knight quickly retired to her room for the night. Since it was a late hour, she wasted no time in settling down for the night and fell asleep without any difficulty.

The next morning came and the knight began to stir. After a late night, she was nearly ready to sleep in a bit later than usual. Tybalt had yet to assign her a shift and the warmth of her bed felt much too comfortable to leave during the cold morning. Penelope nearly let herself fall back to sleep until her eyes widened with realization. [i]The letters![/i] She still had to get them sealed and to the messengers before they took their leave.

Suddenly more awake, she scrambled to get up, slipping her boots on and sealing the letters as quickly as she could. The knight didn't bother to straighten out her appearance like usual before heading out of her room and off towards the stables where the messenger's usually kept their bags. With any luck, she still had time to add her letters to their pile of deliveries. It seemed she'd just have to catch the tail end of breakfast that day.
