The rest of their time went by rather smoothly and between their combined efforts, they were able to get the invitations done before supper. Penelope let out a breath of relief and cracked her knuckles, trying to rid her right hand of the ache in it from spending her whole day with a quill in her hand. Naida, who had stopped earlier, leaned heavily against the desk and swept her gaze over the mountain of invitations that had been written. 

"Gods I hope that's all of them." she whistled, shaking her head. "We'll all be losing feeling in our hands if we have to write anymore!"

Oliver leaned back in his chair, eying the letters before giving a nod of approval. "It should be plenty."

"Plenty if not extra!" Dimia exclaimed. The noblewoman sent Naida a fake beaming smile. "We wouldn't have been able to get through all of those without your highness, thank you for your assistance today."

Penelope turned her head away as she rolled her eyes at the way Dimia acted towards Naida. However, not wanting to comment on it, she instead rolled her shoulders and rose up to her feet. "I'm just glad we got them all done. This has reminded me greatly of why I picked up a sword rather than a pen." she mused with a shake of her head. 

"Here, here." Naida snickered. 

The knight smiled a bit amusedly then focused her gaze onto Oliver and Dimia. "I'm assuming the next step is to get them sent out sometime soon, but aside from that, what is going to be next in the coming days?" she asked curiously. The setup for the party had been pretty much as she had expected but the knight wasn't sure what other details there were to work on now that the location, food, music, and guest list had been pretty much completed. She had never fully planned a party before, especially one of such size, but she assumed that the days before it occurred would not be days of rest. 

"I'll handle getting the invitations sent off. As for the coming days, it'll mainly be working on making sure you have a good idea of what you'll say to convince people to support you." Oliver explained with a small shrug. "After that, it'll only be small details and making sure everything is coming together as planned."

"But that'll mainly be handle by me so you won't have much to do there." Dimia interjected.

Penelope gave a small nod. Though it seemed like the coming days would be rather relaxed ones before the party, the knight felt a bubble of anxiousness as she thought about how close it was getting. It made her wish that there was more to do to keep herself feeling busy without focusing on the countdown to the day of the party. Not realizing she had fallen quiet in her thoughts, Penelope jumped slightly as Naida suddenly patted her friend on the back. 

"Sounds like you'll be prepped and ready to go once the day comes!" Naida said with a grin. "If you're done here, let's go get some supper. I'm starving!"

Penelope blinked coming back to herself and nodded her head as she returned her friend's smile. "That sounds good. Let's go." She turned to the Lenz's and dipped her head. "Thank you for the help. I'll stop by tomorrow to go over what I should say, if that's alright."

"Of course." Oliver nodded. 

Penelope casted him an appreciative smile before turning to follow Naida, who had already began to make her way to the door. She picked up her pace slightly and fell in step besides her friend, striking up another casual conversation as the two made their way to the Great Hall for supper.
