As a silence dragged on, Cedric frowned and opened his mouth to say something else but didn't get the chance to as a new voice cut in. Penelope lifted her head as Crow stepped over to the table and gave the viceroy a smile as he slid in besides her. "Good morning. I slept well, how about you?" she asked him, welcoming his sudden appearance. She still wasn't a bit sure how to handle Cedric and having Crow around put her slightly at ease. Cedric, on the other hand, wasn't as thrilled to have the viceroy join them. The male knight had visibly stiffened and shifted his gaze away from the two for a moment. All he could manage right away was a polite dip of his head to the higher ranking noble. 

Of course, Cedric's silence didn't last for long. "We were just discussing the events of the party." he mused suddenly, casting a small smile at Penelope before his gaze flickered back onto Crow. "It was quite the night.. Although I'm sure I don't need to tell you that." he said with a small chuckle. 

Penelope raised an eyebrow at the knight, confused by what he was trying to hint at. "What do you mean?" she questioned. 

"Just that he seemed to be quite entertained by the eligible noblewomen there that night." Cedric responded with a casual shrug. His gaze drifted over to another table where a couple of noblewomen had moved to sit down and were casting occasional glances in their direction. "And that he seems to still be quite popular with them. Good luck making a choice if you ever decide to court." He added with a glance at Crow. 

Reminded that Cedric had tried to talk her out of going after Crow at the party, the meaning behind his words quickly clicked it in. It was a pity she couldn't explain to the knight that not only did Crow already 'make a choice' but she had made hers as well. However, since she couldn't deny the claims outright, she gave a small snort instead and took a bite of her breakfast to keep quiet. Although, underneath the table, she moved to press her leg against Crow's.
