Penelope smirked at his words and laced her fingers with his as he took her hand. She nodded her head as he mentioned that it wouldn't take long for the rumors to spread. She knew that to be true enough since it was why they had acted so carefully in the first place. As he referred to himself as her suitor, her smirk widened into a grin and she gave a small laugh at his words. "Certainly. I wouldn't want leave them with any doubt about me being taken after all... Speaking of unwanted advances, for once I hope we see Elizabeth there." she mused playfully as they began their descent from the tower. 

Most of the other women vying for Crow's attention hadn't bother the knight as much as Liz had. While she'd be glad to give them a reason to stop chasing after the viceroy, Elizabeth was the only one that she felt enough petty towards to want to flaunt it. Penelope would be glad to finally be able to make it clear to the stubborn noblewoman that the viceroy was very much taken, despite whatever history they had. Focusing ahead, she stepped carefully down the steps, unable to keep a smile off her lips. Regardless of anyone or anything else, the knight was simply elated that they were finally courting. 

As the two made their way down the long staircase and out of the tower, she gave Crow's hand a small squeeze as they made their way out into the courtyard. The strain of having to go down the long flight of stairs hardly registered with the knight, whom still had a bounce in her step thanks to the good news. Additionally, she found that there was a strange feeling that came with knowingly stepping into the public eye while displaying their closeness. She supposed it was only natural considering most of their relationship had been spent hiding from people. 

Penelope finally came out of her thoughts as another person crossed her mind. An amused gleam entered the knight's gaze and she gave Crow's side a playful nudge. "You know... I was too busy thinking about everyone who'll be upset about this that I almost forgot the one person who might be just as thrilled as us." she pointed out with a smirk. "Naida's going to be in for a shock when we see her... Although, I kinda think she deserves it after how difficult she made things."
