Unsurprisingly, Crow didn't hold very much hope in her plan. Still, she was at least glad he didn't completely refuse her idea. Even if the former thief didn't have any hope, Penelope did and she figured that was enough for both of them. After all, she had heard stories of knights returning from war with recurring visions or nightmares about the gruesome things they had seen. She may not have known what came after for them, but she had a feeling they likely discovered some way of coping with it. 

As smiled at her, she looked over at him and gave a soft sigh. "I know you have but I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier...And you shouldn't worry about that. I can manage two things at once." she assured him with a small grin. "Besides, there's only so much I can do in a day for the war's end. I just sent out the letters so right now I've got to wait for replies."

The knight shrugged her shoulders and turned attention back to her food, falling quiet for a moment as she ate. A couple of the letters had been to vassals that worked within the inner kingdom. Since her letter to Oliver clearly hadn't gone over well, she hoped that her letters to the others would prove to be more fruitful. As she finished food, she rested her elbow on the table and glanced over near one of the windows. 

"I should get going... If I'm going to have any answers for you by the end of the day, I should probably get started." she mused looking back over to him with a small smile. "Good luck with your lesson today."
