Penelope smiled faintly as Crow stepped back outside. "Good, I think it's about time we left." she mused, shifting to hold her cloak tighter around herself. Now that things were calming down, the knight began to feel the cold weather more than before. As another chilly breeze went by, she gave a small shiver and moved to begin the walk back to the castle. Though she was of a clearer mind, she still found herself a little off balance as she stepped through the snow. 

"Well a'least it was fun." Naida said cheerfully as she moved to follow. 

"I think I've had enough fun for a few months then." Penelope groaned. "I still feel queasy."

"Well I'm sure you enjoyed [i]some[/i] parts of tonight." Naida said raising her eyebrows suggestively. 

The knight snorted, quickly understanding what her friend was referring to. While she couldn't admit it to Naida, her friend wasn't completely wrong. With as much space as they had been keeping from each other, Penelope only wished the kiss could have lasted a bit longer. The longing only added to her wish that they'd soon be able to court. Nights like the one they went through wouldn't happen if they were able to be open about their relationship. Kane wouldn't have assumed such things if he had known that the two were together. Not to mention that he would have likely stayed away from her if he had known she was already spoken for. [i]Just a little longer...[/i] Penelope reminded herself, trying not to let the growing feeling of impatience bring her down. Still, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, watching the visible puff of air escape her. 

Penelope subtly moved to fall into step besides Crow, walking close enough that their arms occasionally brushed with her uneven walking. "Sorry I was a bit of mess tonight." she mumbled to him with a small, apologetic smile. "But at least all the chaos kinda helped sober me up."
