Penelope listened as Crow pointed out that the people watching them weren't as alert as she thought. Glancing around the room again, she supposed he was right. Most of the nobles were slightly intoxicated by now. While it still might be a challenge to get past everyone, she had snuck around much more observant and sober guards before just to meet up with the thief. There might have been less places for her to hide and many eyes,but the silent reminder made her a bit more confident about being able to sneak away without anyone catching them. 

"Alright, I think I can manage that." she mused, unintentionally following his gaze over to where Cedric was. She pursed her lips noticing that the other knight had yet to completely let her out of his side. It seemed that grabbing more time with her still wasn't off the table and made her all the more eager to sneak off with the man she loved. As Crow drew her attention back onto him, she crossed her arms thoughtfully as he mentioned needing a meeting place. Of course not all of the castle guards had been free to go to the party, some had to work that night to make sure the castle was still secure.

However, the party still likely meant there had been cut backs on how many guards were in certain areas. It was just a matter of remembering where they usually cut down guards first. 

The most obvious answer was on the bottom floor near the kitchen and servants quarters. A couple likely guarded the main entrance so not just anyone could come in but there were like far fewer elsewhere on the bottom floor. That didn't help them anyways because the only place she would know of to go down there was just a supply closet and those hadn't proved to be the best method of stealing time alone. The next place she thought of was the garden. The courtyard itself was usually rather exposed and often had a few knights patrolling.  With the party going on, she figured most of them would be keeping near the walls incase some criminal attempted to sneak in, meaning that the garden would likely be easy access. 

She was just about to suggest that when a more simple solution popped into her mind. "I might have a couple ideas." she told him with a small smile. Lowering her voice she explained, "We may not be able to go to your bedchamber but we could likely get to mine. There will be fewer guards near the knight's quarters so I'm sure you could sneak past the couple that are there." A grin crossed her lips as she looked up at him with a hopeful gaze. "What do you think?"
