Penelope smiled at him as she felt him squeeze her hand. She gave a small nod of agreement as he assured her. Krea and Lucy were really the only two they had to be concerned about anyways. Most of her other family either had their own small, separate homes they had married off to or were busy with duties either at the warfront or elsewhere. Besides that, Krea and Lucy weren't exactly the most vigilant of her family. As long as they stayed away from the main house, it was likely they could sneak into her home with ease. 

"Alright, just know I'm going to hold you to that." Penelope grinned as he told her that he was just along for the ride. She continued to lead them alongside the river, occasionally glancing over to the other side as the familiar structures of Bellmare came into view. As the already thin forest alongside the river began to give away, she knew they were drawing close to the bridge. Figuring it was best to play it safe and not draw attention to themselves, she reluctantly let go of his hand and lead the way to the stone bride that would take them into the city. 

Penelope glanced at a couple passing traveling nobles as they headed towards the citadel, subtly making sure that Crow wasn't being recognized. However, the nobles barely even glanced in their direction so it made the knight feel a bit more relaxed that they wouldn't have any trouble. Looking back over to Crow she shot him a smile. "Well, welcome to Bellmare." she said with a sweeping gesture to the city ahead of them. Tall buildings, stables, and finely dressed men and women were some of the most noticeable things about the city at first glance. That and it appeared to be quite busy. Most nobles were already out and about for the day which meant so were their servants, who could be seen carrying baskets and other goods their lords had likely told them to fetch.  

She felt a fresh burst of excitement as they reached the other side of the bridge. It nearly felt a bit surreal to be there with him, especially since for the longest time she had believed that it would be impossible and that they'd be living in the outer villages as peasants rather than at the castle as nobles. It made her all the more eager to share the rest of her home with him. "So.. the market place I want to take you to is more towards the center of the city. We can stop by there last but for now, I think we should stop by my home. It's closer to where we are than anything else." she explained to him as she began to make a right off the main street.  Since her family was fairly high in rank, they lived on the side of the city that was closer to the castle so it only made sense to her that it should be their first stop.
