Penelope watched as he shot a few more arrows. She noticed he was growing tired from shooting the bow so she figured they were done once he lowered the bow. She helped him collect all the arrows and then headed over to pick up her things so they could find shelter for the night. She glanced over at him as they walked and nodded her head in agreement.

“Yeah.. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a decent spot for tonight. The people of Younis certainly aren’t very cautious. It’s crazy how much faith they put into that goddess, Aeklora.” She mused as she headed closer to the town that laid on right beyond on the forest. She still believed it was strange that they believed a goddess would look out for not only the king but all of them. What god would be so involved in mortal life anyways? She thought incredulously.

She shifted her focus to the town and scanned over the area for a place to stay. She spotted a stable near a lavish looking home. However, she noticed there was someone near the stable and soon realized it was a young stable boy putting the horses away for the night. “Well, that one might work but we’d have to wait out the stable boy.” She said to Crow.

Penelope watched as he got ready to shoot the bow. She blinked in surprise as he was able to hit closer to the ‘X’. From her experience with the bow, she was expecting it to go off in a different direction again. The knight crossed her arms as she watched him as he shot again, noting to herself how he had over corrected.

Her eyes widened as he shot the third arrow and it hit just next to the ‘X’. She looked over at him and returned his excited look with a grin. “No kidding. You nearly got a bullseye and it’s only your second day!” She said, clearly sharing some of his excitement. “It took me a five days of training to get that close when I first started so I think it’s safe to call you a natural.” She added with a small chuckle.

The knight glanced at the sky, making sure they still had enough time to practice a little more. Probably enough time to stay out for a little longer.. She thought before looking back to Crow. “But don’t get too cocky.” Penelope warned, her grin turning into a smirk as she looked over at him. “You’ve still got to prove it wasn’t just a fluke. If your hand’s doing alright, let’s try a couple more shots before we leave.”

Penelope finished marking up the tree, doing the same four lines and ‘X’ in the middle as before. She turned to face Crow as he got into the right position. She eyed it over for a moment before giving a small nod of approval. “Looks good so far.” She mused. She had to admit, she was rather impressed by how quickly he picked things up. He’s already a bad enemy to make... But once he learns how to properly fight, then he’ll even be dangerous. She thought as she eyed Crow with a rather calculating gaze.

Her rather serious expression broke as the knight smirked at her thoughts. If they made it back home, she might owe a few of her comrades an apology. Though she knew Crow likely wouldn’t fight unless he had, she didn’t doubt that he’d be a bit eager to put a few knights in their place once he returned to his usual life as a thief.

She focused back to Crow and gave him an encouraging smile. “Alright, let’s see if you can improve from the last time.” She said as she moved to stand off to the side of him so that she’d be out of the way.

Penelope looked over at his hand as he held it up. Seeing that there wasn’t any blood stains, she felt a bit better about practicing archery. “That’s good. I don’t want to push your hand too much but, if it kept up after sparring, you should be able to practice a little longer than yesterday.” The knight agreed.

She nodded her head in agreement as he mentioned sleeping in a stable again. Or bad weather.. She added silently to herself as she recalled the storm from the night before. Penelope’s gaze flickered nervously to the clouds above. They seemed peaceful now, she just hoped they stayed that way. “Yeah. Stables it is then. I mean, if it comes down to camping, we can take turns keeping watch.” She said with a shrug, knowing they couldn’t completely relax if they were out in the open.

The knight walked onward falling into a silence as she looked ahead. She began to think about how Crow mentioned that she might be able to get into the castle if she passed herself off as a woman fleeing an abusive husband. Her gaze drifted towards the faint town in the distance as she wondered about making contact with a servant or two to help getting her behind the castle walls. If they leave to do errands like the ones in Brerra it shouldn’t be too difficult... She thought hopefully.

After a while of walking, she noticed that it was getting late. The sun would be descending soon enough so she figured they’d better stop to practice archery before they lost the light. The castle had grown bigger and closer now that they had covered more ground. It won’t be much longer.. Penelope thought with some displeasure. She glanced over at the bow Crow carried and felt a small burst of determination that was brought from her desire to make sure they were prepared as possible. “Come on. Let’s stop here and work on your archery.” She said, moving off to a clearing she spotted ahead of them.

She set down the bags and grabbed the carving knife to once again make one of the trees into a target. “So, do you remember the proper posture?” She asked, glancing over her shoulder at him.
