Penelope gave him a small smile and nodded her head to him in greeting. Her gaze flickered back over to Naida, feeling a bit unsure about how the princess would handle speaking with Crow. She had seemed as eager as usual to have him sit with them but at the same time, the knight noted that she hadn't played her usual trick of getting him to sit besides her.  It wasn't really a conversation that would involve her though so Penelope shifted her gaze elsewhere while Crow spoke with her. 

"I should be the one asking you that after all I've heard lately." Naida said crossing her arms over her chest. She paused though  as she snuck a glance at Penelope. Seeming to decide against her approach due to the knight's presence, she instead gave a small smile. "But, nothing much aside from being bored out of my mind. I haven't been able to catch you or Penelope lately and you know how dull everyone else is.. Oh but I have been productive!" The princess' smile widened into a grin as she turned back to Penelope. "I got some things done for the party!"

Penelope looked back over to them raising an eyebrow as Naida turned to her. "That's good to hear.. We're planning to have it by the end of this week so any progress is good." she mused. 

"That soon huh?" Naida whistled then sat up a bit straighter with a proud gleam in her eyes. "Speaking of which, I managed to convince my parents to let me have the party here at the castle!"

"Really?" Penelope gaped, unable to hide the excitement from her voice. Having the party at the castle would only help increase the chances of its success.

Naida nodded her head. "Yep! My mother thinks it's an opportunity for me to meet potential suitors." she explained rolling her eyes. "So you owe me! And you—"she turned to Crow with a smirk. "definitely need to learn how to dance now!" The princess' smirk faded slightly as another thought seemed to cross her mind. She glanced at Penelope and then looked back to Crow, her excitement deflating. ".. Penelope doesn't have to be the one to teach you though of course."
