Penelope chuckled at Naida's reaction. She glanced over at Crow as he began to answer the questions that the princess had about their relationship. The knight let the viceroy answer most of the questions, only chiming in with additional details that she felt like adding in between bites. She enjoyed the recounting of their history to Naida, mainly due to how eagerly she listened. It was nice to simply retell it without having to use it as an explanation or defense as to why they were together. After so much judgment and so many trying to tear them apart, it was refreshing to finally explain everything to the person who had been rooting for them to  end up together. 

As Naida grabbed her hand, Penelope smiled amusedly. "It might be a bit early that's for sure—" she laughed and her gaze flickered briefly over to Crow. Her smiled softened and she focused back on her friend. "—but our intentions are pretty set in stone so I don't see why not, I guess." 

"Then welcome!" Naida declared, still beaming. She let go of Penelope's hand and clapped her hands together excitedly. "I can't wait for you to officially go from being my best friend to my sister!"

"Just don't forget that's not public knowledge." Penelope reminded her with a smirk. 

"Of course, of course." Naida waved her hand dismissively. She took a bite of her food, chewing a bit quickly as something else seemed to cross her mind as a spark entered her gaze. "Have you thought about what the ceremony will look like? I want to make sure I'm already on the list of guests!"

"I'll put your name at the top of the list." Penelope snorted. She shifted a bit and shrugged her shoulders. "To answer your question though, no. We just barely got the ok to start courting, we still have a ways to go before we can actually get married."

Naida raised an eyebrow and then smirked teasingly at her friend. "I asked if you had [i]thought[/i] about it, not if you planned it!" she pointed out. As a faint blush crossed over Penelope's cheeks, Naida's smirk grew. "Come on, surely you must have pictured something in your head."

Penelope rolled her eyes. "Well... yeah." she admitted, getting a bit flustered at the subject of their future together as she usually did. "For a long time I figured it would just be an affair between the two of us in the outer villages but with the changed plans.... I suppose I see it being held at my family's manor in Bellmare." She glanced at Crow and then quickly looked down at her food, shifting it around on her plate. "Having it at the castle would likely attract unwanted guests and I figure it should be a small affair..I'm sure my father will make it as traditional as he can so obviously there'd be a big feast afterwards. But as far as the other details go, I don't picture anything in specific." The knight shrugged her shoulders and lifted her gaze to smile bashfully at Crow. "I mean, as long as we're getting married, I don't really care about the rest."
