Penelope listened as Otto explained the difficulty he had in securing a room. It wasn't difficult for the knight to guess that most of the larger rooms had been taken up by other parties that were traveling from the warfront. She supposed they were lucky enough to get a room with three beds. Her gaze drifted over to the food as the servers approached. The knight mumbled a word of thanks as her stew was placed in front of her. The savory smell of it enticed her appetite and she wasted no time in digging into her food. However, as she did, Otto spoke up again after he had finished placing in his order. 

"By the way, lieutenant," Otto glanced across the table at her with his usual unreadable expression. "they did have single bed rooms, if you wished to get one of your own."

The knight paused at his suggestion. It was clear that the baron wasn't exactly including her as part of their group but he didn't seem to hold any particular malice towards her so the knight didn't mind. Besides, his suggestion wasn't a terrible one. The room would be crowded enough with the six and while she was concerned about the mercenaries, it wasn't like she would be their target. Plus her options of where she would be sleeping that night were limited anyways, considering she could only share a bed with Naida or sleep on the floor. With too many others around and being in a formal courtship, she wouldn't be able to share a bed with Crow, even though she would have liked to. "I'll think about." she mused with a small nod. 

"You don't have to, Penelope." Naida piped up with a smile. "You can share a bed with me. I don't mind!"

"I appreciate the offer but I still recall sharing a bed with you in the past after a night visiting the tavern in Colchester." the knight smirked and shook her head. "I'm pretty sure I woke up with bruises after the amount you kicked me in your sleep."

"That was only because I went to bed drunk." Naida huffed and waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm not sure I want to find out if that's true or not." Penelope laughed before taking another bite from her food, ignoring the looks that were still coming from Rayner at the way the she spoke to the princess.
