Penelope smirked a little as Crow replied to her answer. She was happy to hear that the former thief was enjoying him as well as seeming to get along with a couple of the other nobles there aside from herself and Naida. "I'm glad you realized that." she said with a small laugh. "And I'm glad you were able to find a couple of them amongst the crowd. I'm sure it wasn't easy." Most of the nobles there wouldn't approach Crow, or really anyone, without some reason so she was glad that he had managed to find a couple that didn't completely rub him the wrong way. 

"In about two more songs or so." Penelope replied with a quick shrug. As he drew her in closer, the knight enjoyed the lacking space between them, even if it was only brief. Her gaze flickered around to other nearby couples. Even in the brief observation, she could notice a few of them moving with less coordination. It made a bit of amusement seep into her gaze as she looked back up at Crow. "I'm sure you'll start to notice when the time gets closer. I think a good chunk of this crowd has had a couple drinks already, meaning your dancing isn't going to look as amateur as they may have thought before."

The knight casted him a playful wink with her words and focused back on the dance. In disheartening realization, she tuned into the music to noticed that the song was reaching it's end. Her dance with Crow seemed to have gone by faster than any of her others and she felt reluctant to end it as their movements slowed down with the song. As it finished, a soft sigh escaped her lips, unable to suppress it as she looked up to meet his gaze again. "Thanks for the dance." she told him with a half hearted smile. 

Unfortunately, it seemed someone had been eagerly waiting for their dance to finish up. Penelope barely had any time to get parting words off of her lips before Cedric reappeared, weaving his way over to them. "Penelope." he called to get her attention. 

The knight stiffened slightly as her gaze fell on him. She wanted to avoid him but it'd likely look suspicious to Crow and with no time to properly explain her actions, she had to at least act civil towards the male knight. "Did you need something from me Cedric?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "We already danced earlier."

Cedric blinked, seeming a bit confused by her polite demeanor. However, she narrowed her eyes at him subtly and the male knight seemed to get the message that she was still upset. "Ah, I know.. Sorry I don't mean to keep bug you, but I'd just like to talk with you about something. Just for a moment." he explained with a pleading gaze.

Penelope shifted her weight, hesitant to indulge whatever he had to say. However, she didn't want to make a scene on the dance floor. "Alright," she sighed, giving in. "Let's go talk then." Cedric's shoulders seemed to lower in relief and he nodded his head. He gave a courtesy dip of his head to Crow, muttering an apology and then turned to lead the way off the dance floor. 

"Guess I'll see you later, Crow." Penelope told him with a helpless shrug before turning to follow Cedric.
