Penelope nodded her head as he got up to leave. At his playful words, she rolled her eyes and casted him an amused smile. "Oh I suppose I'll try not to." she joked in return. "See you soon." The knight watched him leave for a moment before getting up from her seat. She didn't really have anything to get for the day trip. They were just going to Bellmare and she saw no reason to change out of what she was currently wearing. Unlike him, showing up there likely wouldn't draw much attention to her. The most she would have to worry was if they made a stop at her family home. 

With nothing else to do, she made her way out of the Great Hall and towards the entrance of the castle. There was an ever so slight bounce in her step, still feeling cheerful about the day off that she was now going to make the most of. The knight was lost in thought that she almost didn't notice someone call out her name. "Hey Penelope!" She blinked and came to a halt, glancing over her shoulder to see Cedric wave to her from his guard post. Penelope gave him a small smile and waved back, hoping that male knight wasn't looking to spend time with her at the moment. Unfortunately, it seemed he planned to hold her up as he walked over to her side. 

"I didn't see you at breakfast, have a late night with those letters?" he asked curiously. 

Penelope paused, momentarily confused what letters he was referring to until she remember that she had used that excuse to dip out of supper the night before. "Oh, uh kinda." she responded with a shrug. "I just woke up a bit ago."

"Hopefully you've got enough rest then." Cedric smiled. "Where are you headed off to anyways? Tybalt schedule you for a shift right now too?"

"No, I'm actually heading off to Bellmare for the day. Decided to see how things are going back home." Penelope explained with a shrug. 

"Oh, well have a good trip then. Wish I could join you but unfortunately I'm afraid Tybalt would have my head if I just abandon my post." Cedric laughed. 

Penelope nodded her head, feeling a bit relieved that Cedric was on guard duty. She might not have minded his company on a usual day but she didn't want him around when she was supposed to be meeting up with Crow in secret. "I'm sure he would. I'll see you around, Cedric. Have a good shift!" she told him with a small smile before turning and continuing on her way. With no more interruptions, the knight headed out of the castle, dipping her heads to her fellow guards at the gate as they watched her head out for the day. 

Recalling the clearing she had told him about, she headed off to the river and began her walk up stream to wait for him there.
