Penelope quickly straightened up her appearance, grabbing her comb to to calm her wild hair. After sleeping with Crow and just plain sleeping, it was rather messy and have a few more knots than normal. Once she was done, she passed the object off to the viceroy and moved to pick up her dress from the floor. She stored it away in her dresser while he finished up. Noting that they were all ready now, she turned to follow her father and Crow out of the room. As she stepped out into the corridor after the men, her gaze subtly flickered over the faces of nearby guards. 

She was a bit worried that her father's ploy hadn't worked as she noticed they were quite surprised to see him emerge from her room. However that quickly changed as they seemed to eventually move their attention elsewhere. Relieved that John's plan had worked, she trotted after the other two in a more relaxed manner now as they made their way to the Great Hall. As Crow turned to her again, the knight gave a small shrug at his question. 

"As soon as possible. Of course that depends on the king's schedule though." she replied with a small sigh. "I'll probably spend some of my time after breakfast today trying to arrange that."

"It'll be difficult since you're not a higher rank." John pointed out with a sigh. "Plus it'll be hard to track down his attendant."

Penelope gave it a small nod, thinking it over as they drew closer to the Great Hall. She blinked as an idea struck her and she turned to Crow with a smile. She knew she couldn't ask Crow to do it directly for her. He was still new to his position and she wasn't sure he wanted to get dragged into the future conversation she'd have with his father but he could still be able to help her get an audience with him. "Actually... I might have an idea on how to go about it effectively. Do you think Preston would be willing to relay a message to Hunter for me?" she asked him hopefully.
