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!

Penelope looked over at the wench as she came to take their orders. She looked over at Crow as he addressed her and placed his hand over hers. The gesture made the knight recall the time he had done the same thing but with the motive to mess with her. It was a bit strange to compare them as they weren’t that far apart time wise. Yet, so much had happened to and changed between them that it made it feel so far in the past.
“I’ll get the smoked rabbit and cooked vegetables.” Penelope said. She thanked the wrench as she headed off with their orders. The knight was still thinking about things that had happened over their days together and how everything had lead them to where they currently were.
“Well.. I think this has been my favorite day of the journey so far.” She mused, smiling over at him. “No attacks or trouble and I got to kiss you.” She blushed a little at her own words despite a glimmer of victory in her eyes. After all the trouble they had seen, the day seemed almost too perfect.
“However, I’m starting to believe that Hartley’s not the most oblivious one out of us.” She said shaking her head. She gave an amused expression. “Now that I’m thinking about all those awkward moments.. I was so dense. My gods, I even woke up in your arms and still thought there was no way you felt the same.” The knight shook her head and covered her face with her free hand at the realization. “I started to suspect something a little earlier today but I still wasn’t sure.”
She couldn’t help but recall other times too that she had thought he was acting strangely but merely ignored it or blamed herself for the awkwardness that often followed. I was so busy trying to make sure I wasn’t obvious to him that I didn’t even pick up on the signs about how he felt. She thought, letting her hand fall back to the table as she looked back over at him. Penelope was suddenly a lot more grateful for meeting Kip and Hartley as she doubted much would have changed without them around.

Oops XD
Of course lol
Of course lol
Penelope rolled her eyes at his teasing. “It’s my way of saying let’s not stand out so much.” She said, gladly intertwining their fingers as he grabbed her hand again. She nodded her head in agreement and moved to walk closely besides him. The warmth of his embrace and the softness of his lips against hers were still on her mind. She pressed her lips together, trying to contain the smile that kept finding it’s way back to her face.
It all felt so surreal. A knight and thief in love. It had sounded ridiculous and absurd, yet there she was, walking besides him and beaming with joy over the result of her confession. She looked up at him with clear affection. It felt so freeing not have to worry about hiding her feelings around him anymore and with everything seeming to work out so perfectly, the knight nearly wondered if she was dreaming. If I am, I don’t want to wake up.. She thought. There was plenty to still be worried about but those things were pushed to the back of her mind at the moment.
Penelope wrapped her arms around him once more as he suddenly pulled her into him again. She kissed him back, smiling against his lips. “I can’t either..” She admitted quietly. She closed her eyes as he traced her jawline with his lips. Her heart still managed to leap at his compliment, especially now that she didn’t have to second guess anything. The knight smirked as she heard the rumbling of his stomach.
“Maybe. If not, I’ve still got some food I took from the wagon.” She told him with a small chuckle. She leaned up and kissed his cheek then took his hand in hers once more. She turned and began to lead the way into the inn. There seemed to only be a few people in the dining hall, though nearly all of them were drinking rather than eating. However, spotting a couple fresh dishes among the mugs of ale, Penelope figured that they were still serving dinner.
“Looks like you’re in luck.” She mused as she began to head over to an empty table.

Shhhhhhh don’t remind me T-T
It felt like time slowed down for a moment as she awaited his response. Her heart began to sink as she felt him let go of her hand. It was a brief second that she thought he was about to reject her but she didn’t even have time to fully process it as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. She was surprised as his lips suddenly met her’s in a kiss. All worries and hesitation drained out of the knight as she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed into him.
As he pulled away, she met his gaze with a bright smile. She blinked in mild surprise as he addressed her by her name and smirked at him. “Well, I think I got the message but it’s still nice to hear.” She said with a small laugh. The knight lightly toyed with his hair as he gave her another quick kiss. “If you’ve waited as long as I have then I might owe you an apology.”
She moved to lightly caress his cheek with her hand, still rather shocked by the mutual feelings. Penelope grinned and him again and shook her head. “I guess I should start listening to Olivia more...” She mumbled with a small smirk as she thought about the other female knight. Though if I had listened to her back then, I might have made the wrong choice.. She thought to herself.
The knight suddenly became aware of the world around them. She had been so swept up in the moment that she didn’t even bother to think what kind of scene they were causing out in the street. Her cheeks grew red from embarassment as she realized a few people were looking over at them with confusion and curiosity. She let go of Crow and took a small step back to put a bit of distance between them. “I guess this probably wasn’t the best place to do this..” She told him with a small, embarrassed chuckle.

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THREE YEARS
I love them ;-; I also adore the fact that they were both planning to tell each other at the same time cx

“I noticed.” Penelope mused softly as Crow mentioned how nervous Hartley had been. I’m not any better.. She thought as her gaze drifted down towards her shaky hands. Her gaze popped up with a startled look as Crow broke the silence.
“O-Ok.” She said with a small nod of agreement. His nervous eyes sent a wave of fear and excitement over her. Is he going to admit his feelings? Or is has he just realized mine? Oh gods is he just trying to reject me nicely? The knight couldn’t help but panic at the thought and for a brief moment she considered keeping her mouth shut and feigning ignorance.
No I can’t just not say anything! I have to tell him, even if I was wrong about his feelings, even if he rejects me, I have to tell him. Penelope’s eyes began to burn with determination however, her mouth remained tightly closed by the fears she had. She looked over at Crow, the words felt like they were stuck in her throat making it feel tight. Damnit! I’m a knight! Be as brave as you are in battle you coward! Her walking slowed slightly as she looked over at him. The knight timidly reached out and grabbed his hand, wanting to make sure she couldn’t back out from telling him the truth.
Penelope took in a deep breath and tried not to focus on the rapid pounding of her heart. “Crow..” She finally managed to speak. She paused and averted her gaze. “Listen.. I.. uh... This is probably going to sound ridiculous to you but... I love you. And-And I get it if you don’t feel the same! I just, after talking to Kip, I needed to tell you.” She spoke fast and wasn’t able to bring herself to meet his gaze.

I just, after talking to Kip, I needed to tell you.” She spoke fast and wasn’t able to bring herself to meet his gaze.
Penelope moved to quietly sit down next to Kip. The young woman looked up at her but said nothing, merely shifting her gaze away looking as conflicted as Penelope felt. The knight shifted uncomfortably, unsure where to start. “Hartley said you needed some time to think so... what are you thinking?” She asked in a soft voice. Her gaze was sympathetic as she looked over at the blonde.
“I’m confused..” Kip admitted with a small frown. “I waited so long for him.. I thought-I thought that when we finally met again that we’d be able to settle down and have a nice normal life.. maybe even have some children at some point..” She gave a bashful look at the mention of kids and toyed with the sleeve of her dress. “But.. now it seems like that’s impossible. If he’s a thief, he can’t settle down.. Not without risking his own capture.”
Penelope nodded her head in agreement. It seemed her and Kip shared some similar worries.
“You’re right.” The knight said. “That probably is impossible. So what you need to decide is what is more important to you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean you need to decide if having a stable life is more important to you than being with Hartley.” Penelope explained. Her eyes briefly drifted towards Crow before focusing back on Kip. “I won’t lie. A life with the thief means that you’ll probably have to move from town to town. There’s the risk of him getting captured or killed. And I don’t even know how raising children would work..” Penelope frowned, clearly having thought about some of these things before, and watched as Kip seemed to deflate slightly at her words.
“But if you can’t see yourself settling down with anyone else... Or if the pain of missing him out-weighs everything else, then-then you should just be with him. You guys can figure out the details as you go but what matters is that you’re with the person you love the most.” Penelope said with a certainty she had been missing for a while now.
Kip blinked then giggled at the knight, suddenly brightening up. Penelope looked at her with a startled and confused gaze. “What?
“Well.. It just seems that you’re talking more to yourself than to me.” Kip said with a knowing smirk. Penelope’s face flushed a bright pink. Finally speaking about everything that had been weighing down on her suddenly made things more clear as she applied her own words to her own situation. I guess she’s right... Penelope glanced over towards Crow again and then quickly averted her gaze.
Kip’s gaze softened and she reached out to place a hand on Penelope’s shoulder. “But thank you. I think I get it now.. And I think I know what I want.”
“Well.. What’s the verdict?”
“I can’t see myself with anyone but him.. I mean, I waited this long and I don’t want to lose him again.” Kip said, a rosy blush appearing on her cheeks.
Penelope smiled, feeling a little relieved. She had still been worried for Hartley despite having dealt with some of her own problems. Knowing that Kip was willing to accept him gave the knight a small glimmer of hope. If they can be together... then maybe we can too... She thought biting her lip nervously. If he feels the same that is..
“Come on. We probably shouldn’t keep them waiting any longer.” Kip said rising to her feet. Penelope tried to suppress a smile as she noticed a newfound confidence in the young girl. She wished that she shared it. Even though she had come to a conclusion, she was still wracked with worry at what Crow would think. The knight even wondered if she could find the courage to bring it up to him.
“Yeah..” Penelope said as she rose to her feet and headed back over to the two thieves alongside Kip. Kip became a bit bashful once more as she moved up to Hartley, who was noticeably still nervous. He looked at her with expectant and worried eyes.
“L-Let’s go talk somewhere...” Kip told him as she gently grabbed his hand. She shot a grateful look towards Penelope and headed off with Hartley to find a more private place to speak.
Penelope watched them go before turning to face Crow. She felt her stomach churn anxiously as she thought about what to say. “Well, I think things are going to work out for them..” She said with a small smile.
