Penelope returned his affectionate look and nodded her head. "I love you too, Collin. Good luck with your lessons." she said as stood up. The knight was just about to turn to walk away but paused to look back at him as another thought crossed her mind. "Oh and be sure to start thinking of a guest list! Maybe you and Naida can start putting that together sometime." she added, flashing  one last smile before turning and heading off. She made her way out of the Great Hall, feeling a bit better than when she had first walked in. 

Liz's efforts to seduce Crow were not as worrisome for the knight as they had been earlier. For now at least. Though she wasn't particularly pleased with having to sit through what she considered to be a slur of insults, it was surely a big miscalculation on Liz's part. Their relationship aside, Crow had made it clear that he was upset with Elizabeth, meaning the chances of anything happening were rather slim. Was it pathetic for her to still let such paranoia get to her? Probably. Logically, the knight knew she was being ridiculous. Crow deserved more than her worrying about the small chance of him being unfaithful just because they weren't able to be together yet. However, no matter how many times she told herself that, it didn't stop her from feeling a bit relieved now knowing that Elizabeth would have to do a lot of damage control before the viceroy's frustration with her died down. 

Trying not to focus on it, she instead focused on the task at ahead. The party. As she stepped out into the courtyard, her gaze almost immediately fell on the wagon that was waiting by the front gates. The familiar figure of Oliver stood near the opening in the back, waiting patiently, while his wife had her usual impatient scowl. Picking up her pace, the knight hurried over to join them, dipping her head in greeting. 

"Sorry, Woke up a bit late." she said as she reached them. 

Dimia clicked her tongue disapprovingly before turning her head away. "Let's just get going. I don't want us to be late." she grumbled before moving to climb up into the back of the wagon. Oliver assisted her up before offering his help to Penelope as well. 

Penelope gave him a curt nod before stepping up into the back of the wagon. She glanced around at the rather empty space. Since they would only be traveling for a short period of time and staying at an inn, they had little need for too many supplies. Still, as she sat down across from the couple, she couldn't help but wish the space didn't feel so empty. It certainly made the silence that fell over the group a bit more uncomfortable for the knight. She shifted her gaze away to watch their surroundings as they left the castle.
