As Penelope stepped into the room, her gaze immediately landed onto Crow. A smile started to grow on her lips, glad to see that he had made it in with as little trouble as she figured he would, but was quickly stunned by what was also waiting for her in her room. Her gaze traveled over the warm but low glow of the candles he had place all around her room. It was a thoughtful touch that made her heart swell with affection for the former thief. She found the unexpected set up of the candles sweet and only served to add to the nearly perfect night she seemed to be having. Any remaining issues or fury with Cedric had been pushed out the window as soon as she had left the ballroom. Now all she cared to think about was the man in front of her.  

"Well I was about to apologize for making you wait so long but now I'm thinking maybe I should test your patience more often." the female knight said with a low whistle as she study the crackling light of the candles. Her gaze softened as she felt her heart swell again. "It's lovely, Crow."

Focusing her gaze back onto him an affectionate smile took over her lips and she suddenly felt overwhelmed by the fact that they were completely alone for the first time in a long time. She stepped fast to close the distance between them and threw her arms around him like she had been want to do all night. After going so long with getting away with quick and usually friendly mannered touches, the lack of distance between them now sent her heart racing. If there's one thing the forced distance did it was make his touch excite her. 

Leaning up, she pressed a passionate kiss to his lips, savoring the feeling as she did. Eventually she pulled back and nestled her face against his neck, lightly brushing her lips against him as she did. "Gods I've missed you." she breathed.
