Bio

Hello! This is Buzzingbee! I used to be on here as BuzzBee but I had some trouble. I had issues in real life that made me go off for a while and then when I was going to come back on, passwords, emails, etc were forgotten and lost. xD But I'm back and ready to jump into where I left off!

Ok c:
Penelope’s not too happy about it either cx
Penelope followed the two to the inn. When Hartley read the name of the sign, she shot a look of surprise towards the younger thief. She listened as he explained all Younisian peasants could read. As Crow walked ahead to talk with the innkeeper, Hartley fell back to walk besides Penelope.

“So Brerra peasants really don’t learn stuff like that?” Hartley asked quietly. “Don’t you guys have teachers?”

“Only the rich can afford those.” Penelope replied, keeping her voice low to avoid being overheard. She frowned slightly. “The peasants of Brerra don’t exactly have as much as the peasants of Younis.”

“What do you mean?”

“They’re lives aren’t stable they’re constantly working to meet the high taxes the king has set. And from what I’ve seen here, the peasants have enough to support their families and still have a little extra.” Penelope explained. Her gaze turned to Crow as he returned with the key. She nodded her head and moved to follow him towards the room. Hartley fell quiet for a brief moment as he thought over Penelope’s words.

As they stepped into the room, Penelope set down the bag of supplies she carried next to the bed on the right side. The room seemed smaller than it actually was with the three beds lined up with small tables in between each of them. Hartley moved to take the middle, falling back onto the bed with a large yawn.

“I’m so tired.” Hartley said as he shook off his boots and laid back on the bed.

“Better get to sleep then. We might not get another cart ride tomorrow.” Penelope said.

Hartley nodded his head and mumbled, “Goodnight guys.”

“Night.” Penelope said as Hartley tried to get some sleep. Penelope sat back on her bed and closed her eyes as she thought over the day and what was to come for a while, not quite ready to sleep.
Penelope raised an eyebrow as Crow jogged ahead towards the farmer’s cart. She exchanged a glance with Hartley before the two hurried to catch up as the thief waved them over. Hartley jumped in first and quickly turned to help Penelope up into the cart. Penelope hopped up and moved to sit down with her back against the hay as she looked out, watching the road behind them. “Nice catch.” She told Crow with a small smile.

The knight settled in and kept a watchful eye as the day went on. As the two thieves relaxed, Penelope remained alert just in case trouble came to find them once more. However, she did enjoy the peacefulness the day brought. The sun and clouds above made for a warm breezy day and Penelope found herself occasionally watching the clouds roll by.

The sun was beginning to set when the three finally hopped off the cart as the farmer was going to head off in a different direction than theirs. Thanks to the ride though, they had managed to travel farther than Penelope had originally planned. She said her thanks to the man as he traveled off before turning to the others.

“Sun’s going to be set soon so let’s find a place to settle down for the night.” She said.

She eyed the area around them. It was less compact with buildings than the one they had been at before but there was still a clear lack of forest. There was, however, a thin line of trees that Penelope considered to take shelter in but they wouldn’t provide much shelter. The knight sighed, she could see why William had been planning to stay at inns for this part of the journey. Her gaze flickered over to the two thieves.

“Any places in mind?” She asked a bit hopeful.
Ok xD just wanted to make sure lol
Should we do a small skip to the end of the day?
Her eyes widened as Hartley picked up on what Crow said. The knight visibly grew tense as she waited to see his reaction, afraid that he might turn against them now that he knew what they were truly doing. She tilted her head in confusion as the boy broke out into laughter instead. Then the goddess Aeklora came up again. She glanced over at Crow wondering if the thought of it had upset him like before. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.. He nearly ended up in jail after that. She thought to herself as her gaze flickered over to Hartley. But that was just Hartley not divine intervention.

She snapped out of her thoughts as Crow addressed her. “I say we get back on the main road.” She told then frowned a little. “I wish I had William’s map but I think we’re supposed to travel straight until we reach a town called, uh... Heefern?” She said trying to remember.

“Hefn.” Hartley piped in. “I’ve heard of that place. I think it's about two or three days from here.” The young thief shrugged his shoulders with uncertainty. Penelope began to head off towards the main road once more.

“Ahh, well I think we start traveling west once we hit Hefn. Though I’m not sure how far out we need to go to hit the castle.” She said.

“I can’t help you there.. I’ve never been that far west.” Hartley admitted. He shot Penelope a look of concern. “You’re really going through with this? I mean, aside from the godess’ protection, he’s still got tons of guards.”

“Yeah.” Penelope said without hesitation. She looked over at the young thief and shrugged her shoulders. “With some planning and any luck, we’ll be in and out before anyone even realizes we were there.”

Hartley gave a look of doubt and Penelope let out a small sigh. At least he wasn’t about to rat them out to local knights but Penelope wondered how far he would accompany them and if he was still there after they succeeded, would he still remain quiet about them being from Brerra. Perhaps we should consider parting ways before we even get to the castle... She thought to herself, falling silent as the group walked on.
Hey I’m on for a little cx it was a long day today so I might have taken a long nap lol

I’ll get to work on my reply soon
Penelope blinked as Hartley included himself and Crow into the people she had. The knight smiled warmly at the two and laughed at their offers. “Please don’t steal from my family. Or on my behalf.” She said with an amused look at the two thieves she had grown fond of. In that moment, she didn’t have the heart to remind Hartley that their time together was limited. She hid away the small pang of pain that came with the thought of parting ways, especially with Crow.

She looked over at Crow as he spoke again. She rolled her eyes at his teasing look but his words were heartwarming to the knight. The compliments made a faint blush appear on her cheeks. “Yeah well, she’s glad she met you too... And thanks.” She said with a small, appreciative smile.

The knight fell quite afterwards as she finished her portion of the meal. The journey seemed a bit more enjoyable now without the other two knights around. Penelope wanted to kick herself for feeling that way but it was true as she was able to act more like herself around the two thieves rather than the two knights. Not to mention that the absence of William took away a great deal of stress when it came to how she treated Crow. The only bad part was she was tempted to get distracted now that the pressure from the older knight had been removed. I’ve got to be more efficient like William... The king might not allow us as many days as Crow thinks... She thought to herself with some concern.

Penelope glanced at the others to make sure they were done with their meal and slowly rose to her feet as she focused back on their mission. “We should get moving. I want to get as far as we can before the sun sets.” She said. “And luckily it seems we still have a good bit of day left."
Awww cx that was cute
