Penelope let out a long breath as she laid back with her head rested against her pillow. The knight had a dazed look in her gaze after their time together. Though normally more dignified and in control of herself thanks to practiced caution, she had found a bit difficult to keep quiet during their passion. Eventually she had just used the pillow to muffle herself. Letting out a small yawn, she found that weariness was finally beginning to hit her and after a long day of stressing, dancing, and sleeping with Crow, it was hitting rather hard. 

The warmth of his embrace made her even more tempted to close her eyes. Penelope smiled softly as she felt him bury his face into her hair and pull her closer. Turning to him, she leaned down to touch an affectionate kiss to the top of his head. "I wish you could too." she murmured softly, absently trailing her fingertips over his arm. "The bed will definitely be colder without you." She added with a small sigh. Disliking the thought of having to part soon, she shifted to snuggle as closely as she could against him and rest her head against him. 

"I just hope were closer to getting there now that the party's over." she added sleepily, partly forcing herself to keep talking in order to avoid dozing off. However, it was a thought that crossed her mind. While she felt hopeful about Crow getting her father's blessing, that didn't exactly mean they'd be married within a week. No, they would just be courting and even though they could at least make their relationship public, they'd still have to sneak around to be together like this since it was usually frowned upon in most courtships to been in bed together before marriage. There was also no telling how long the courtship would be. Or rather how long her father expected it to be. She'd marry him as soon as possible but she was afraid that her father would enforce the usual tradition of at least courting for a half a year. "It'll be nice to be public about our relationship but gods I have a feeling courtship is going to have a few pains as well.. Especially if my father insists on making it long." she muttered with a soft sigh.
