Penelope smirked and raised an eyebrow at him as he gave her a cocky look. "That just sounds like an excuse to me." she teased him again. As he wrapped his arms around her, she gave a quick glance around before leaning into him slightly. At first, she smiled as he kissed her cheek but noticing the mischief in his expression, it faded as she gave him a suspicious look. As he held up her coin purse, the knight rolled her eyes at him, both for his challenging words and for stealing her purse in the first place. 

She paused for a moment at his words as he taunted her with the coin purse. While she wouldn't mind a bit of a competition between them, she was a bit worried about drawing attention to themselves. Of course, they were off the main road but that didn't mean the narrow passages would continue to remain as empty as they were now. The knight glanced down the alley. Surely even if there happened to be a couple other people around, it would be fine though, right?  Looking back over to Crow, she smirked in amusement as he added a bet to their competition. 

While she didn't care about winning for the sake of getting a favor from him, she had to admit it did put a bit more on the lines. "Alright, you're on. And if you by some miracle manage to get away, I'll owe you a favor, no questions asked, too." she agreed with a small nod. The knight really wasn't as confident as she sounded. Crow was a skilled thief and even though she may have been more familiar with how he operated now, she still hadn't worked with him enough to know every move. Besides that, it had been quite a while since she had chased down any criminal, let alone the former infamous thief of Brerra. 

"Just don't start using your lack of recent practice as an excuse when you lose." she said with a wink. Smirking up at him, she asked. "So how much of a head start do you need then?"
