Penelope looked over at Crow as he reassured her. She supposed he was right in pointing out that not only was he able to defend himself now but there also more guards than before. That did bring her some peace of mind, especially since the guards with him were either ones with good reputations or ones she trusted the skill of. However, if the the enemies they may face were anything like the ones before, then they would be well prepared and would know a good deal about their target. The increase of skill and numbers might mean little if their enemies were already one step ahead of them.

She wondered what he had to say that would make him give such a look, especially after being the one to reassure her that he would be fine. 

"Maybe when we stop for a break or at the inn we can get a moment alone then." she murmured with a small nod. Though her curiosity was piqued, she understood the desire to want to keep some things from the others, especially if it was related to their visits from the gods. 

"You know I'm starting to regret this whole relationship thing!" Naida huffed despite the grin on her lips. Clearly the princess hadn't picked up on the seriousness of their conversation. "You both already forgot about me again!"
