Penelope raised an eyebrow as she looked over at Crow, noticing how hurriedly he ate his food. However as he quickly explained  that he needed to get going as well she felt a churn of nervousness return to her stomach. She returned his smile with an uneasy one of her own. "Right, that's probably the best time to catch him." she mused in agreement. As he added to meet him at the southern tower, a little bit more genuineness appeared in her smile as he decided upon one of her favorite spots as their meeting place that evening. 

"Alright, I'll met you there then." she agreed with a small nod. The knight paused and slipped her hand into his lap, giving his leg an affectionate squeeze. "Good luck with your father...Regardless of the out come, we'll figure it all out. We always do." she assured him with an affectionate gaze. Her words were to reassure both of them and she felt her nervousness over what was to come growing. The worst part was that she had a good deal of time to kill before she'd know the results. Despite her words she was also worried that the king might resent her over her campaign that changed his plans. She just hoped that he wouldn't completely deny Crow from courting her because of it.

With that in mind, she decided it was time for her to leave as well, feeling unable to fully finish her breakfast now that her stomach was turning with anxiousness over what was to come. Penelope felt a bit restless and suddenly wanted to get to work on preparing for her trip coming up in order to not dwell on what was happening between Crow and his father. 

"I better get going too. I'll see you later, Crow." she said as she rose to her feet to leave. Having said her parting words to the viceroy, she headed off on her first task of the day, which involved tracking down Tybalt to alert the guard captain that she'd be ending her stay at the castle.
