Penelope rolled her eyes playfully at his suggestive wink. As he went on to assure her that it was already too late, she casted him a fond smirk and opened her mouth to respond but didn't get the chance to as Naida piped in. She glanced over her shoulder to look at her friend amusedly. She chuckled as the two bantered, looking ahead momentarily to look at the trail ahead. As Naida turned to her, the knight smirked in amusement. 

"I don't know... If anything I expect the opposite." she mused teasingly. 

"What!" Naida exaggerated a pouting face at her friend. 

The knight laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "You're just a little to much like Olivia sometimes." she joked then nodded her head to the nearby attendant. "If anything, I'm putting my trust in Preston to keep him in line." 

"It won't be easy." the attendant mused with a thoughtful look at Crow. "But I'll do my best."

Penelope gave an amused smile and nodded her head appreciatively to the servant. She shifted her gaze ahead to look over the scenery as they left the castle, a small movement catching her eye in the distance. It quickly revealed itself to be a bird though so the knight relaxed slightly. Their first trip to Younis came to mind and with it so did the memory of the several attacks the group had gone through right. The knight wondered if the traveling group now would face a similar opposition. After all, the rebellion of nobles had been dealt with nearly two years ago but it was also difficult to say if the mercenary attacks had been coordinated by them or not. Regardless, the thought of an attack seemed all too possible based on her experience in the past. 

The amusement from her visage faded as she sat a bit more rigidly. Lost in her worries about possibly being targeted once more, she tuned out of the conversation and instead focused her attention on surveying their surroundings. It might have been unlikely for an attack so soon from leaving the castle gates but history had taught the knight she shouldn't let her guard down.
