Penelope smirked a little in amusement as Crow seemed to forget his etiquette and responded to her with a mouthful of food. The knight gave a small nod in agreement with her words though, after Naidai spoke up, she wasn't sure his usual tutor was a better option. At least Udolf wouldn't give him any bruises though so she supposed that was one plus side. 

She gave a small nod in agreement with Naida's words as the princess mentioned how it likely wouldn't be as busy once he was done with training. She took a bite of her food, chewing thoughtfully. It was likely that things would slow down a bit after that, provided the king didn't have plans to send him out on some mission right away. Penelope hoped that wouldn't be the case even though she wasn't completely sure she wouldn't be returning to the warfront. As Crow turned to her, she was drawn out of her thoughts and gave him a small smile. 

"Well, luckily I don't have guard duty every day so that certainly helps." Penelope mused with a shrug. 

"Yeah once you're training's over you'll have more time and more of an actual life in the castle that isn't just all work." Naida chuckled. 

Penelope nodded and drummed her fingers against the table for a moment before taking a couple more bites of her food. Her plans for the following day popped into her mind, wondering what Tybalt would tell her to help with Crow's nightmares. He claimed not to want to use Eldon's methods so the knight was hopeful. Her green gaze flickered across the table to look at Crow, feeling a hint of eagerness to tell him about her discoveries. Even though she had no solid answers yet, she hoped that by tomorrow she would.

Having finished her meal, she gave a small stretch and slowly rose to her feet. "I better head off. Tybalt wants to speak with me about something tomorrow morning." she mused to Naida while casting Crow a subtle look.
