Penelope relished in the warm air that filtered out of the castle. She eagerly stepped inside, dusting off the snow that had gathered onto her clothing from the walk. As Crow turned to announce he'd take Naida back to her room, the knight gave a small nod. While she was faring better, the princess was still quite intoxicated. "Probably a good idea. I'm not sure she'd be able to make it up all those stairs by herself." she mused with a teasing smirk at her friend. 

"Hey!" Naida protested.

The knight smiled amusedly before focusing her gaze back onto Crow. "See you tomorrow." she said offering him a soft smile. She turned to leave and gave a small wave to the siblings. "Goodnight you two." she called over her shoulder before beginning to make her own way back to her room, splitting off from the group. Luckily it wasn't too far of a walk since her room was on one of the lower floors with the rest of the knights rooms. Though she did move a bit slowly due to not being completely balanced, she made it there in no time and eagerly hurried into the room. 

Once inside, she slipped her cloak off and her boots as well before flopping down onto her bed. Though the night had been chaotic, she found that over all she was still glad that she had gotten to spend the extra time with Crow and Naida. Not lingering on that thought for long, she wrapped herself up in her blankets to keep the chilly air at bay and settled in for the night. In no time at all, Penelope had drifted off into a sound slumber.

As expected, the knight didn't wake up until much later in the morning. The sunlight was already harshly shining into her room when she began to stir. Penelope groaned and clutched her pillow, reluctant to get up as the alcohol from the night before made her feel rather groggy that morning. She was at least grateful that her head wasn't pounding though. After a moment longer of laying in bed, she decided it was best to get up and catch the tail end of breakfast. Getting something in her system would likely help her recuperate from the night prior.

Satisfied with that thought, she rose from her bed and straightened out her appearance. Once she felt like she was at least presentable, she headed out of her room and made her way to the Great Hall.
