Penelope nodded and grabbed the bags to head out. She followed Crow out of the stable and back into the forest. Once they didn’t have to worry about being caught, her gaze drifted up to the sky, scanning over the clouds for signs of the same foul weather they had before. The knight relaxed as she noticed it just appeared to be cloudy out. She hoped that meant she didn’t have to worry about another storm.

Her attention shifted over to Crow as he spoke. She rolled her eyes at his challenging grin. “I guess so.” She said with a shrug. The knight smirked. “But don’t feel bad when you find out it’s me.” Her words were more playful than actual confidence. In truth, she was rather curious to how skilled the thief was. She had missed his fight with William and hadn’t really seen him use the dagger very much so she had to wonder if she’d possibly end up learning a trick or two from him.

Daggers were never her first choice. Her skill heavily lied with swordsmanship but she was still plenty capable with a dagger, as she had proven in the several fights they had gotten into over the few days. Her gaze flickered ahead to where the castle lied in the distance. “Let’s get a little farther before we train though.” She said, wanting to make up some of the time they had lost from the day before. Though she wasn’t particularly eager to reach the castle, she was worried that if they took to long, any effort they made would be for nothing as she wasn’t sure how long the king would wait for their return.

“How’d you even learn how to fight?” She asked curiously. She figured he had to have had some type of practice with a sword and dagger before based on what she had seen and how he would have beat William if the older knight had only accepted defeat.

Penelope's eyes widened as Crow admitted that he had caused the own cut on his hand. She parted her lips, looking ready to protest his words but she stopped. She was a little more understanding of his point of view now due to having been reminded of her own fear now and let out a small sigh. That feeling of fear controlling you wasn’t something the knight enjoyed. She glanced at his arm, wishing that she could think of a better way to go about dealing with his aversion.

As he pointed out how he was getting better, she was rather surprised by how quickly he made progress. “I see..” She mumbled.

“Alright.” She said nodding her head in agreement with his words. What he said made sense to her. She had been the one wanting to push him to learn more about fighting before anyways but after learning about his fear and where it stemmed from, she had been willing to let it go. The thought of Crow not only learning, but also being able to properly fight gave the knight an unexpected feeling of relief. Though she had always been ready to fight to keep both of them alive, she found the mere idea of having back up comforting, especially after losing William and Abraxas. “I could use a sparing partner anyways.” She added shooting him a small smirk.

“I’ll teach you what I can with the time we’ve got left.” Penelope promised as she stood back up. “I know you already know how to somewhat use a dagger and sword so we’ll just work on refining that more... If anything goes wrong, we’ll both be ready.” A small look of determination flashed in her green eyes.

The knight turned to glance towards the stable door before looking back to Crow. “On another note, we should probably head out before anyone comes to check on the horses.” She added.

No worries c:

He’s going to freak her out again xD

“Goodnight, Collin. I love you too.” She felt warm with affection as she looked over at him as he fell asleep. The thunder gave a rumble above and now left in a silence alone, she tensed for a moment. Stop that. Penelope chided herself for reacting. Knowing she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep quickly she tried to focus on something else. Her mind began to drift towards the thought of their upcoming raid. Usually when she thought of it, she thought about something going wrong but this time she tried to focus on what would come after if they were to succeed.

Penelope closed her eyes as she laid there pressed up against Crow and tried to imagine what it would be like. They’d still have troubles and uncertainty to face. Mainly being with their relationship. If she wanted to be with him longer than the mission, it would likely mean leaving behind the world and job she knew so well. My family will be safe from the war though.. So it’ll be fine.. She thought. It felt a bit easy to cast that life aside, though she knew it would be easier said than done. Leaving behind her job as a knight would likely cause her to feel a bit useless and she’d definitely miss her family, even if the feeling wasn’t always mutual.

I’ll figure something out. She assured herself. With another crack of thunder, she tried to focus on happier thoughts. If all went well, she’d be able to sleep in his embrace for many more nights, which was something that sparked hope and determination in the knight. She found that her personal gain from accomplishing the mission had suddenly gotten bigger since she couldn’t just abandon it to be with Crow. If all went well, it meant the safety of her family and the ability for her to figure out a life with Crow. Penelope let the sudden burst of determination build inside her.

She soon realized that the thundering had stopped and all that was left was the light sprinkling of rain. A wave of relief washed over her and along with it came the tiredness that had been pushed back by fear. Penelope let out a quiet yawn and relaxed. With the threat of the storm gone, she was able to drift off to sleep in no time, keeping comfortable in the warmth of Crow as she remained pressed up against him.

Waking up didn’t come easy for Penelope. The knight had gotten to bed late so she didn’t wake up as quickly as she usually did. It took a while but her sleeping form finally began to stir. She reluctantly opened her eyes, wishing to just continue sleeping but reminded herself that they would likely need to get moving soon. Part of her was worried she might have even over slept.

She blinked as she noticed Crow was no longer besides her. Penelope rubbed her eyes to focus her gaze and then pushed herself up to try and locate the thief. It didn’t take long for her green gaze to land on him sitting nearby holding an arrow in his hand. She caught sight of the blood and her eyes widened in alarm. She jumped to her feet, now fully awake thanks to the alarming sight.

“Crow! What happened?” She questioned as she hurried over to his side. For a moment, she thought that maybe he had snuck out while she was sleeping, ran into trouble and was now pulling an arrow out of his arm. However, she saw that wasn’t the case since the wound wasn’t deep and was just a cut. “Are you ok?” She added, sounding concerned and very confused as she realized he had been staring down at it. Penelope, almost instinctively, moved to put her hand over the cut so she could block it from his view, thinking he might being feeling sick by the sight.

Woo I’m finally home xD

It probably is cx I’m more interested in doing tv shows rather than movies slightly because of that lol

Penelope laid down, still pressed up against him. She was calmer now, feeling a bit more relaxed in his arms, but still very aware of the loud thunder outside. It kept her alert and on guard despite the tiredness she felt. She knew falling asleep wouldn’t be easy for her until the storm passed. Her gaze drifted to Crow as he spoke again. A small wave of guilt washed over the knight, realizing that he was likely just as tired as she was but was forcing himself to stay awake.

Normally, she would have insisted that he just go to sleep rather than answer his question and part of her wanted to, but she realized that the distraction of a story might be good for her own sake. “I actually met him on one of my first real missions after training. This also happens to be the time he got drunk on a mission..” She began. Penelope kept her voice soft and quiet. She’d use the story to distract herself but she also wanted to let Crow sleep if he could. One of them should at least be well-rested. “Me and a couple other newer knights accompanied William and another older knight named Christopher to the town of Balway where the local knights were having difficulty with some bandits that kept raiding the town..

“They decided to put me and the others on the case since it seemed pretty simple now that the local knights had reinforcements. The first time I met him, I remember him complaining about getting stuck with so many inexperienced knights. I don’t think he had worked with many female knights yet then so he had especially low expectations for me at the time.” The knight managed a small smirk and she closed her eyes as she saw a flash of light. “I was determined to prove him wrong of course.”

“Anyways, we went traveled to the town and worked with the local knights to capture the bandits.. We got a handful of them and thought that was the end so the group went out for some drinks to celebrate. I didn’t think that was the end though. The numbers didn’t add up to the damage done and I suspected there were likely more of them out there. But at that time, no one real listened since I had no real experience yet. So while the others drank, I decided to keep watch. Turns out they’re plan was to let the knights think they won and get drunk before attacking to free their comrades. I caught on quick enough and alerted the others... Problem was I was a little late. William was drunk off his ass and so were a couple of the newbies.

“So the local knights, Christopher and I ended up fighting the bandits without them... Though William, proud as usual, still found his way out and tried to help us fight. He nearly got himself killed a couple times that night, lucky for him I was able to keep that from happening.. We managed to fully beat the bandits this time so the mission was still successful despite the mistake made. After that, William trusted and respected me a bit more as a comrade.. We worked together a few other times as royal guards but there’s not much of a story to that..” She mumbled.

The knight finally opened her gaze again to glance over at Crow, unsure if the thief was even still awake. The story did her some good in passing the time. She flickered her gaze over to the hole in the ceiling, noticing the rain had slowed. She hoped that meant the storm would be passing soon and let out a tired sigh as she buried her head against Crow’s chest.

Yeah xD

Penelope and Crow are so cute cx
Also probably my last post for the night since I’m pretty tired cx

It depends. I’ve never done anything ‘professional’ but sometimes there’s a group of writers and other times there’s just one.
The way my last project was set up, I was the one that wrote it out but I had my director/co-writer helping with planning out the story and such.
I think it really just depends on what your making. Like movies usually use one writer or two but I’ve noticed tv shows tend to have a group of writers.

Penelope didn’t look very convinced with his words. She didn’t think comparing the two fears was very fair to him, mainly because his trauma was so severe. She had merely been scared and alone in a thunderstorm while he had nearly been killed and watched others get killed. As she sat down besides him, she looked ready to protest his words until the thunder sounded again. The knight turned tense once again at the sound.

As she leaned into Crow, her nervous gaze shifted over to the small opening in the roof. Her face paled once again as she was able to see a flash of lightening from outside. Suddenly the stable didn’t give her the same comfort as before, reminding her more of the run down home in her memories than a safe shelter from the storm.

Crow eventually broke her fearful trance as he tilted her head to face him. She met his gaze but was still frozen so she didn’t automatically lean in to meet his kiss like usual. However, as their lips met, Penelope found herself very grateful for the distraction. It was also a nice reminder that she wasn’t alone. She kissed him back, closing her eyes tightly as she tried to focus solely on Crow. The thundering outside still reached her, making her still tense but as badly as before thanks to the distraction that he provided her.

She wrapped her arms around him pressing closer to him as she felt warmth and security in his arms. Her heart fluttered, this time because of him rather than the storm outside. She pulled back from the kiss to catch her breath before moving her lips to place a few kisses along his jawline. “Thank you.” She breathed softly. She was rather content with being in Crow’s arms, despite occasionally flinching at the thunder. Though, Penelope hoped the storm would clear up soon, otherwise it’d likely be a rather long night for her.

Unfortunately we college students don’t realize it’s effect until it either effects or internet or our food xD

It would be more. It also includes some basic description of the setting, character movements/actions, and scene setting.
I’m still learning but I know some stuff if you have questions lol
