Penelope watched as Crow directly addressed the topic that Naida was skirting around. She was glad he wasted no time in clearing the air. While it didn't really matter what others thought about the rumors, she didn't want Naida viewing him in that way. It'd only make things a bit difficult for when they did finally start courting. Luckily it seemed that the princess wouldn't be hard to convince as her thoughtful look made the knight believe her to be realizing the truth.

"She is that." Penelope sighed in agreement with Crow. The knight hoped that Liz had finally gotten the message and would leave them alone. Though she knew that she had nothing to worry about, that certainly didn't make her company any more bearable. She'd be glad when Liz finally returned back to Colchester. Her thoughts got interrupted as she saw the servants returning with their food. She dipped her head appreciatively to the one and wasted no time in taking a bite from her food, reminded of her hunger due to the appetizing smell. 

"Sounds like she is." Naida grinned, seeming to have renewed cheerfulness now that she knew Crow was far from interested in the other noblewoman. "It's a pity you aren't courting anyone... I bet that would stop her from bothering you." she said nudging him with a subtle glance towards Penelope. 

Though the knight didn't catch the look Naida gave, she already knew what the princess was hinting at. Penelope bit back an amused smirk and looked up from her food to focus on Naida. "Anyways, about the party, Dimia has been working on invitations so now that we have a when and where, hopefully we can start getting them out soon." she explained, hoping to switch the subject. "Do you two know how many people you'll be inviting yet? We're trying to map out a guest list as well."
