Penelope gave a small nod as Crow answered her question about when they would be leaving. She had figured that the king would be sending them off first thing in the morning but she wanted to make sure regardless. Though the knight had been focusing on the more enjoyable aspects of the trip, she was beginning to feel a bit anxious as their departure grew closer. Mainly for what was to come on Crow's end. While she had faith in the new viceroy, it was still a big first task to take on to convince a king to end a war peacefully. That was something she knew first hand but Crow didn't have the same advantage of convincing the king of his own kingdom like she had. At least the Younisians had seemed like peaceful people during their time there, she just hoped that would apply to wars as well. 

"I'm guessing the king already knows I'm taking my leave on the same day. That is if Tybalt informed him." she mused with a shrug. The captain reported regularly to the king about the workings of the castle but whether or not the leave of one lieutenant was worthy enough news to share with his superior was difficult to say. On one hand, she doubted it was but on the other, she had been drawing quite a bit of attention to herself both from the petition as well as with her newly founded courtship with Crow. Regardless, the knight didn't dwell on the thought long. 

"I'm sure I'll be ready before you anyways so I wouldn't worry about waiting." she said flashing him a playful smirk. She took the last couple bite from her food before letting out a content sigh with her now full belly. With everything packed and readied for the coming days of travel, she felt fairly comfortable about how prepared she was for the morning so all that remained would be making sure she woke up early enough to leave on time with the others. 


"Although I should probably head off to bed now." she mused. The knight was already more tired than normal after already waking up earlier than usual that morning so she didn't want to run the risk of sleeping in. Penelope leaned over to press a kiss to his cheek. "As certain as I am about being ready before, I'd rather not push my luck with accidentally sleeping too long."
