Penelope offered quick words of parting to the group before rising up to leave. The knight headed down the corridor and towards her quarters. Once she reached it, she stepped inside and began to take off her armor. Eventually only her sword remained as a symbol of her career and she paused, debating on whether to take it or leave it behind. Deciding they'd likely be fine on their trip out, she removed the sheath and set the weapon down. Her gaze lingered on it for a moment, realizing that quite some time had passed since she had last used it. Due to the calmness of the castle versus the war front and all the time spent rallying support, she hadn't even found the time to use it in sparring. [i]Perhaps that's how I'll spend part of my day tomorrow...[/i] The knight mused inwardly as she moved on to grab her cloak. Slipping the fabric over her, Penelope bundled up, knowing that it would be quite a cold walk to the tavern. Ready to depart, she headed out of her room and made her way to the main entrance. The walk was a fairly short one and it wasn't long before she was reunited with Crow and Naida. Stepping over to join them, she offered them a smile. "Alright I'm ready now." she said eagerly. "Great! Let's get going! The faster we walk the sooner we get there and out of the cold." Naida grinned and pushed open the door to take the lead. Penelope nodded her head and followed after her friend. Walking near Crow, she glanced up at him with a smirk. "You know, it almost feels weird that I'm not going to a tavern with you to interrogate a bunch of drunks." she mused jokingly. "It was becoming quite the norm there for a while."
