A peaceful moment by the fire was quickly disrupted as Olivia’s voice cut in. Had it always been that annoying? Penelope let out a faint sigh as she looked over at her fellow knight, just in time to catch the unpleasant look that crossed Olivia’s face. She briefly wondered what had momentarily upset the knight before her attention went on to the sudden change of clothing. There was no need for Olivia to change. Well, no practical reason at least. As Olivia came between them, Penelope shifted to lean away from the two.
She was careful to conceal her emotions away with a neutral expression, not wanting to get swept up in her feelings again. She looked over at Crow, listening to see what his answer would be. It sadly wasn’t the ’no’ she was hoping for. The knight quickly averted her gaze away from Crow, feeling a pang of disappointment stab through her. The disappoint was quickly replaced by annoyance as looked to see Olivia’s smirking face. For a moment, Penelope wrinkled her nose up in disgust. Olivia was mocking her. Why just because she got Crow’s attention? Yeah well, it won’t last... I’ve held it for much longer! Without throwing myself at him too! Penelope thought venomously as her gaze burned into the back of Olivia.
She blinked. Crow’s attention... That’s what she was jealous of but why? Penelope glanced over at Crow before quickly moving her gaze over to William and Abraxas. It must be because he’s better company than those two... Yes, that makes sense. And he’s my friend so of course I want to spend time with him. Olivia is getting in the way of that and I’m not used to it, that’s all. She thought, satisfied with her conclusion. Her expression eased as her confusion was given a false answer. However, reaching an answer didn’t just make her disgust and annoyance towards Olivia just go away.
Penelope made the mistake of looking back over at Crow and Olivia. Olivia seemed to take notice of her gaze and turned her head to look back at Penelope. A tauntingly please smile spread across Olivia’s lips before she focused her gaze forward once more and leaned closer to Crow. Penelope stood up and turned her back to them as she rolled her eyes. Every part of her wanted to hurry over there and get in between them but she knew she couldn’t do that. Crow was a friend and his love life was of no concerned to her. Even if the girl chasing him seemed as vile as a snake. Instead, Penelope sought distraction from the two by spending time with William and Abraxas. She walked over to them, careful to keep her back pointed to Crow and Olivia so it wouldn’t be easy to see them.
“Seems we’ll be having a better dinner than planned huh?” she mused casually to the two male knights. Both of whom were either oblivious or choosing to Penelope’s current mood and Olivia’s advances towards Crow.
“Yeah.” William said bluntly. This is why Penelope rarely spoke to the older knight in a friendly manner.
“Penelope, you’re not sticking with those two to watch Crow?” Abraxas asked innocently.
“Nope. It’s my off time. Olivia’s a good enough knight so she can deal with him.” Penelope stated firmly.
“And three’s a crowd...” William muttered with a sour look. Penelope raised an eyebrow at William. Abraxas casted a confusion look at the older knight. “What does that mean?” He asked. William sighed and crossed his arms. Penelope smirked faintly as she was reminded of the older knight’s dislike of Olivia. Needless to say the two had very conflicting morals. “Nothing. Just keep away from that girl. She’s a troublesome for a knight.... Anyways, it must be a nice break for you, Penelope. That damned criminal... How you put up with him for so long is beyond me.” William grumbled casting a glare a Crow.
Were conversations with you always this dull? Penelope wonder with a sigh as she merely shrugged her shoulders to answer William.
