Penelope gave Crow a small smile as he jumped in to guide the conversation way from Naida's track of trying to poke at their closeness. As him and Percival went on to talk, the knight gave a small nod of agreement with Naida's words. Not only was the war likely just as hard on them but having seen the culture of Younis first hand, she guessed that they wanted an end to this bloodshed as much as she did. She just hoped pride wouldn't get in the way of peace. Her gaze shifted briefly onto Crow. Now that she had done her part to convince the king, negotiations for the war's end would soon be passed off to him. Having faith in him despite the fact that he was still so new to the position of viceroy, it did manage to ease her nerves.

"I suppose that'll be my next project to get started on." Penelope mused as Crow brought up repairing the borders. "Hopefully I can garner enough support to get a decent amount of gold flowing out to the villagers there. I should probably start planning more about how I'm going to go about that soon.." 

"Gods do you ever take a break?" Naida snickered. 

"Just a couple short ones." Penelope replied with an amused smirk. She gave the princess a small shrug, leaning back from the table as the servant appeared with her food. "While I wouldn't mind taking longer ones, there's simply too much to be done right now."

As Penelope dug into her food, Naida drummed her fingers against the table thoughtfully. "Well you don't have much to do for tonight and tomorrow right?"

"I suppose not. At this point, I can't do much more." Penelope answered.

Naida grinned and clapped her hands together. "Great! We should all go out to a tavern and celebrate your success!" she turned to Crow and nudged his side eagerly. "Your lesson probably got disrupted because of the change of plans so you should come with us! It'll be fun!"
