Penelope looked over at him as he admitted to her being right in the past. She gave him a momentarily confused expression before she recalled the conversation they had once had about noble life. The knight gave a small murmur of agreement. Part of her was a bit glad to see him coming around to understand the world she had grown up in and why she behaved the way she did with other nobles. Especially at the moment when she was trying to garner support. Usually she didn't even have to bend this much to others but the Lenzs were doing quite a bit for her, so for now, she'd have to play by Dimia's rules. 

Her gaze shifted onto Crow, noticing his small silence despite her question. She frowned faintly as she realized it likely had to do with their previous topic of pandering to other nobles. Back when they had first discussed it, he hadn't seen the point in bending to what others wanted, even if it was just a bit. She guessed now that he had mentioned it, it had been an unpleasant thought. Further convinced of it as she noticed his half smile, the knight felt a small bit of guilt. She knew it had been his own decision to make but he wouldn't have been forced to worry about what other nobles thought if he hadn't taken the position of viceroy to be with her. 

The knight paused for a moment, glancing around the marketplace until her gaze landed on a nearby stand. "Let's start over at this one then." she said, choosing it for no particular reason other than to give him a quick answer. Penelope side glanced over at him and gave a half hearted smile. "You probably won't have to care as much about other nobles once your training finishes and people like Adam give up on trying to get you removed though. At least then, more people will be worried about pandering to you rather than the other way around... For the most part at least." she pointed out quietly. 

Penelope gave her shoulders a small shrug before looking back ahead at the stand she had chosen on a whim. Looking at it now, she realized it was a mixture of different goods from clearly a different kingdom, although it wasn't one she was familiar with. She could only tell by the strange craftings of figures as well as the way many of the jewelry had been made, which were different than what she was used to seeing in Brerra.
