Penelope shifted her gaze away from Crow as he greeted her, instead looking to see her and Cedric's food arriving. As they placed it down, the knight stared a bit absently at it. She was far from hungry after hearing what had happened from Cedric. The knight was just beginning to poke at it when Crow turned back to her. The way he acted caught the knight off guard. Penelope turned her head to look over at him, staring at him for a brief moment. Why was he acting like nothing had happened? 

[i]Is he just trying to hide it from me?[/i] The thought passed through her mind, causing for a frown to tug at the corner of her lips. With Crow's history, she wouldn't put it passed him. He had played off secrets before after all.  Even though the knight had forgiven him for them, the memories were still there and hard to ignore. She recalled how he had been with Rikki for a moment. When the female thief had nearly conned him into sleeping with her, he had been rather upset. At least then she had been able to tell something was off with him. However, as he sat besides her now with a rather calm demeanor, it gave the knight another heartbreaking thought. [i]Does he not regret it?[/i]

 Realizing she had yet to answer him, she blinked and shifted her gaze away once more, feeling overwhelmed by her emotions. "It was fine.." she mumbled, her voice growing slightly weaker. "We got everything done."

Cedric studied the knight for a moment before giving a small smile. "That's good. Progress for the party right?"

Penelope gave a quiet mutter of agreement and shifted her food around for a moment. "The Lenzs want to host it in a week. So at least that date is somewhat set." she said, looking to Cedric now, finding it a bit easier to speak to him than looking to Crow at the moment. She wanted to leave but knowing she'd look suspicious for getting so upset, she forced herself to remain seated and forced down a small bite of food as she let herself fall into a tense silence.
