Penelope gave a laugh as Crow rolled his eyes at her. She had just been teasing him but she had to admit that he was right. Personally, she was still adjusting to seeing him in noble clothing, especially such luxurious ones that went with the title of viceroy. The bright and expensive clothing was a large leap from the attire he used to wear as a thief. Of course, with everything else changing just as fast, she hadn't thought much about it. 

As he shot her a playful smile, she blinked and then rolled her eyes amusedly at his sultry words. She shot him a coy smile and leaned in a little closer to him. "Well if that's the case, maybe we can find some time today for me to [i]impress[/i] you." she mumbled, returning his flirtatious wink. 

The knight smirked up at him and folded her arms. "On a more serious note, I appreciate the sentiment but unfortunately I don't think that's going to help me in the case of the party." she said with a small laugh. Penelope looked up at him and smirked. "If the only person I had to convince was you, it'd make things a lot easier. Sadly most nobles don't share your values though. If I'm going to be a partial host to this thing, I've got to dress up a bit more than I'd usually like to." 

The knight shook her head at the thought of having to dress up for such an occasion. She had never really been at the head of any big party so her usual choice of dresses didn't matter nearly as much. However, she had plans to speak to and convince many high ranking nobles about her effort to end the war on peaceful terms and nothing attracted their attention more than power and wealth. She'd have some power to display through her title of lieutenant and her connection to the princess and viceroy so all that was left was to put wealth into the mixture. The thought made her want to wrinkle her nose. [i]After this party is over, I'll just sell the dress and jewels off so I can start the funding to aid the outer villages after...[/i] she told herself. Knowing that the coins she would spend today would eventually go towards something she actually wanted to spend them on, she felt a little less annoyed by the thought of buying something a bit more extravagant than what she currently owned.

"Just don't judge me for what I might buy today." Penelope mused as she looked ahead towards the marketplace as it came into view. It was bustling with nobles and their servants as they traveled around to the various merchants. The place was just as busy as the knight remembered it to be. Turning to Crow she flashed him an eager smile. "So, any place in particular you'd like to start looking at first?"
