Penelope was glad that they had an easy time slipping out of the room and smiled a little as he eventually fell in step besides her. Though the morning had had a much more rocky beginning, she was eager to put it behind them and focus on the more appealing thought of what the rest of their day was going to be looking like. As they stepped into the Great Hall, she began to glanced around for an empty table and caught sight of Liz who was sitting alone. It seemed her prediction of the noblewoman still being around had been right after all. 

She glanced at Crow as he muttered about acting like he didn't notice her in hopes of the noble leaving them alone. The knight gave a half hearted smile at him, knowing fully well that wouldn't work. If Elizabeth had waited for him for this long, she was going to approach them no matter what. However, she didn't bother to say any of that to Crow. She figured the viceroy was already aware of it and was just trying to be hopeful. So instead, she just let out a sigh and gestured to an empty table. "Let's go sit over there." she said. 

Even though Liz joining them was inevitable, Penelope wasn't going to just willingly sit with her. In fact, she made sure to choose a table far from the other noblewoman. While the knight doubted it would dissuade her from coming over, it at least made it more clear that neither of the two wanted her around. Penelope sat down across from Crow and flickered her gaze past him towards Elizabeth. As expected, the noblewoman was already getting up to make her way over to the table. The knight rolled her eyes subtly and shifted her gaze back to Crow to act as if she hadn't noticed the other woman approaching.

"Well breakfast probably won't be pleasant." she mused to him, lowering her voice slightly. "We barely sat down but she's already making her way over here."
