Penelope stepped into the Great Hall and began to look around for friendly faces. She spotted Naida with her siblings but the knight preferred not to interrupt the time with her family. Not to mention she also was quick to grab onto an excuse to avoid hearing the princess badger her about what had gone on between her and Crow the night before. The knight had a feeling that, even though Naida had been drunk, their closeness hadn't been disregarded by her stubborn friend. On the topic of stubborn, her gaze finally landed on the table with Elizabeth and Crow, making the knight's nose involuntarily wrinkle. 

She had thought the noblewoman had finally given up on pursuing the viceroy after their last encounter but it seemed she had been sorely mistaken. The knight shifted a bit before eventually moving to take a step towards the table. Though Liz's presence made her reluctant to join them, it didn't outweigh her desire to sit with Crow. Luckily for her though, it seemed Elizabeth was going to make things easy. Just as Penelope had reached the table, Elizabeth rose to get up. The noblewoman wore a hurt expression that changed slightly as her gaze caught sight of Penelope. Her eyes narrowed at the knight but she remained silent, instead push past  Penelope to make her exit. 

Penelope watched her leave with a raised eyebrow before moving to sit down across from Crow. Once Elizabeth was out of earshot, she turned to Crow with a sigh. "It's amazing how some people refuse to take a hint." she mused shaking her head. She didn't bother to ask what had gone on. Having been around Elizabeth more than she personally wished to be, she saw no reason to ask him about it. She was much more interested to see how his day had gone, especially since she suspected that he had been present for the king's council meeting. 

"Soo..How was your day? Did the king call his meeting?" she asked, trying to keep the nervousness out of her voice.
