Cedric was quick to strike up a casual conversation with her once she had settled in at the table. The topics weren't anything exciting and mainly just about their guard duty. Naida didn't seemed very entertained with the discussion but did jump in on occasion. However, the princess didn't stay bored for long as a broad grin spread over her lips. Penelope noticed, trailing off slightly as she followed her friend's gaze over to Crow. A small smile crossed her lips as he moved over to join them at the table and she gave him a small word of greeting along with Cedric. 

As Naida went on to answer Crow, Penelope nodded her head in agreement. "We had four people working on them.. Plus Dimia had already some made." she explained with a small shrug. The knight noticed Crow avoiding Cedric's gaze, especially since it seemed that the male knight's gaze lingered on Crow for a moment before shifting onto her as the viceroy turned to her. Penelope felt a bit of tension but assumed it was mainly coming from Crow due to his dislike of her former suitor. 

"I was wondering that myself." Cedric piped in, casting Penelope a warm smile. "You said it was coming up soon right?"

"In a few more days." Penelope nodded before looking back over to Crow. "It's going as well as it can be I suppose. Oliver and Dimia seem confident enough in everything we've gotten done so far at least. I have a feeling that the next couple of days are just going to be a waiting game at this point." The knight let out a quiet sigh at the thought. Perhaps it would be nice to have less on her plate in the coming days before the party but she wanted to be busy to keep her mind off of her worries about the party failing.  

Pushing that thought aside, she gave Crow a half smile and glanced him over. "Anyways, what were you up to today? You sure seem tired." she mused. The knight found it especially odd since he had managed to get a full night's rest for the first time the night before so she figured it must have had something to do with his lesson.
