Penelope looked over at him with a hint of pride in her hopeful gaze as she waited for him to react to her news about what she had found out. The knight was feeling rather confident that she was on track to figuring out some way to help him with his nightmares. Unfortunately, the viceroy didn't seem to fully reciprocate her hopefulness. While she caught the surprise in his gaze at her words, his doubtful words made her let out a small sigh. 

She was a bit disappointed that he still didn't seem as convinced as her that there was a better way to deal with his dreams. However, she was already on track to figuring out a solution so she didn't dwell on the feeling for long. Instead, she quickly perked up a bit at his fond words. "I don't lollygag," she told him with a playful smirk. Her expression softened a bit as she added,"especially when it comes to making sure you're alright."

The knight gave a teasing wink. "Luckily for you, I think I'm becoming quite the expert at it." Penelope grinned up at him then shifted her gaze ahead as they drew further from the Great Hall. Her smile died down a bit as she realized it was time for her to head off to her own room. While she was glad they got to spend some time together, it always seemed so short to her. Penelope sighed, "I suppose better head off. I won't be able to see you for breakfast so maybe I'll catch you for supper... And hopefully with some good news."
