Penelope closed her eyes as she laid down on the bed. Despite the trouble they had gone through, she was still glad to be sharing the bed with him again. She let out a content exhale as she felt him wrap his arm around her and pull her closer. Between the warmth of Crow and the softness of the bed, she already felt herself beginning to drift off. "Goodnight." She mumbled sleepily. The knight pressed close to him as she soon fell asleep, momentarily pushing away the chaos of the day.

Despite falling into a rather deep sleep, Penelope woke up rather early. The knight slowly opened her eyes and stretched slightly as she tried to push away the small bit of drowsiness she still felt. She glanced over towards William and saw that the older knight was still asleep and had his back to the two. She frowned a little to herself and hoped that the day would turn out better than the last. If they kept fighting with each other, it would definitely bring more bad than good during this last leg of their mission.

Glancing over at Crow, she carefully and slowly turned over in his arms to face him. Penelope affectionately smiled at him as she looked at the thief. Though the night had been a bit chaotic, she was glad to find a peaceful moment in the morning as she woke up besides him. She leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Good morning." She murmured.

Sorry it's taking me so long to reply! I'll try to get something up tomorrow but if not, I might not be able to get anything up until the weekend.

The attack the next day sounds good! Also did you want them to run into Hartley and Kip again? I figure they'd be reaching/passing through that town soon.

I worked most of the day so that works for me cx

Penelope nodded her head, glad to hear that he was ok. She rolled her eyes as she noticed Crow's smug expression as he looked over at William. Glancing over at the older knight, she narrowed her eyes at him as he went off about how they would come to regret their choice of being together. She shook her head slightly as the two talked, finding William's words annoying and Crow's last words a bit unnecessary.

She followed Crow over to the bed and sat down besides him. She moved to place a hand on his back and gave a soft mumbled of agreement. "You need to stop letting him get under your skin though." Penelope mumbled as she gently rubbed his back. "You've started two fights already." The female knight shifted her gaze over to the other knight as he wiped more blood off of his face. Now that things had settled down, she nearly guilty for having turned so fully against her own comrade. Nearly. She pulled away from Crow to dig into her bag and pull out a small piece of bandage.

"William. Here." She said leaning over to hand the bandage over to the knight. "Don't go bleeding all over yourself. Put these in your nose and sit down until the bleeding stops."

William turned his head to look over at her and reluctantly took the bandages from her before turning his back to the two. Penelope rolled her eyes and then leaned into Crow. She felt her tiredness beginning to sink and she was more than ready to get a full nights sleep now that she didn't have to keep watch. "Let's go to bed." She said wearily as she moved to lay down.

Definitely XD
Penelope went off on William cx

Ooooo I like that song!

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Penelope blinked in surprise as Crow suddenly lunged at William. As the older knight was forced to release her, she took a couple steps back and flinched at the sound of William's nose cracking. Her heart began to race anxiously as she watched William charged towards Crow. The female knight shifted to move to his aid but paused as she glanced towards the door. Despite wanting to rush to help Crow, she also reminded herself that just causing for a bigger fight would make things worse.

At this rate, this scene will get us kicked out. She furrowed her brows and looked back towards the other two as William gained the upper hand in the fight. A small rush of panic surged through the knight as she realized she had to act quick in order to both help Crow and end the fight. As William cocked back his fist, Penelope darted at him and grabbed his arm, roughly twisting it back before the older knight could strike. William let out a grunt of pain and glanced over his shoulder to glare at Penelope.

He tried to pull his arm free and Penelope twisted it more in response, making him wince. "Enough!" She spat at him. "This fighting is going to get us kicked out and draw unwanted attention to us. So," She glared at William accusingly. "you need to get used to us being together. I don't care if you hate him. I don't care if you hate me. But I want you out of our business and focusing on something else. We still have a mission to finish and I swear that you're going to be the reason we fail. He did his part and I did mine. Why don't you start doing yours you arrogant brat! It'd certainly be more productive of you to actually be mindful of our enemies rather than starting fights with us." She shook her head looking disgusted with William. William glared at her silently and Penelope finally released him, giving him a sharp shove away from Crow as she moved to step past the older knight.

"I'm only trying to stop you from-"

Anger bubbled inside of the female knight and she turned to face him, glaring at the knight fiercely as he attempted to argue with her. "You know what," She cut him off sharply. "enough with that too. You trying to act like you're trying to protect me from getting used or save my name from getting ruined. I'm getting tired of it. You don't care about any of how this will effect me. All you're worried about is how it's going to make you and other knights look. Ah!" She shushed him as she noticed the knight begin to open his mouth to rebut her point. "Don't even try to hide it. You did nothing when an actual noble tried to use me before but now that I'm in love with Crow, suddenly you're very concerned about your 'comrade'." She snorted and crossed her arms. "And you call him heartless and a liar."

Penelope shook her head then sharply turned her back on William. She had said her piece to the older knight and could only hope he'd at least settle down for the night. Her gaze focused back on Crow and gave a concerned look as she moved to place a hand on his shoulder. "You alright?" She asked him softly.

And it only got worse cx

Penelope nodded her head and headed to the room with him. As she stepped inside she was quick to notice William had already claimed a bed for himself and grew a bit tense as he stood in front of the other and looked over at them. She glared at the older knight as he attempted to give them orders on their sleeping arrangements. She watched as Crow moved to step around William and clenched her fists as William landed a punch to Crow's jaw. Taking a couple steps forward to move to Crow's side, she glared at William, ready to defend Crow if the older knight moved to attack again.

As the two began to argue again, she glanced over at Crow as he grew even more frustrated at the older knight's words. She placed a comforting hand on Crow's back before her gaze focused back on William. The older knight narrowed his gaze at the thief before it shifted to Penelope. Realizing that he was tempted to still fight Crow, she removed her hand from Crow's back as she took a step towards William. "He's right. Just stand down. You can't win." She told him firmly.

"If you think I'm just going to stand aside and let this happen you're very wrong." He growled. "I'm putting an end to this madness before it goes any further."

"I said stand down." Penelope snapped becoming irritated with the older knight's persistence. "You're unarmed and out numbered. Don't be foolish over such a thing."

"He's got you so wrapped around his finger that you're even willing to attack your own comrade for him!" William snapped with an accusing glare at Crow. "Find some sense, any sense, to realize that this-this cretin is worthless." Penelope groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"We're going to share a bed and that's final. Just go lay down already." She grumbled and attempted to move past the knight. However, she was caught off guard as the older knight suddenly gripped her arm and pulled her back. She blinked and tried to pull away from him but he kept a tight grip on her arm. She balled up her fist and glared hatefully at the knight. "Damnit, William you ass! Let go of me before I break your nose this time!"

William gave her a scornful look. "If you're so determined to defend him, then you can take his place on the floor." He snapped. She was a bit surprised he was willing to back down from forcing Crow to sleep on the floor but supposed he was rather desperate for any way to separate them, even if it meant taking it out on his comrade. Penelope used her free hand to swing a punch at the knight but he caught it with his free hand. "Maybe if I start treating you like the bastard he is, you'll come to your senses. Since you clearly aren't listening to me." He growled.

No worries! I've been kinda off and on all day anyways xD

Penelope and William are trying to ruin each other's plans cx

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

As the two knights stepped into the inn, William fell back besides Penelope as he looked over towards the innkeeper. The female knight smirked slightly as she realized that he wasn't confident enough with his accent to speak yet. He glowered at her expression and gave her a stern look. "You better get a room with three beds." He growled under his breath. Penelope snorted softly and began to walk over to the innkeeper.

She took down her hood and gave the innkeeper a small smile as she put on her accent. "Hi, we're looking for a room with two beds." She told him, ignoring the older knight's piercing glare as he heard her words.

"Two huh?" The man grumbled as he glanced up at her. "Well, you're lucky. I have one left." He pulled out a key and placed it on the table in front of him. "That'll be one hundred and fifty Tael."

Penelope sighed at the price. She expected it to be rather high as she remembered their last experience at an inn and that was merely for one bed. At least this inn has a two bed room.. She thought with dull optimism as she dug out the right amount from her coin purse. She handed the money over before picking up the key from the table.

"Thank you. The room is down the hallway to the left." The innkeeper informed her with a small gesture to the hallway before losing interest in the two knights.

Taking the key, she turned to William and held it out to the angry knight. "Here. You go ahead to the room. I'm going to wait for him to get back." She said.

William grabbed the key from her and clenched it in his fist. He began to turn but paused as he narrowed his eyes down at Penelope. "You know, two beds works far better than three." He told her, smirking slightly. "I'll just make him sleep on the floor. It's only fitting for that bastard." He spat the last word before turning sharply and stalking off down the hallway. Penelope glared at his back as he left and shook her head. She might have beaten him once in a brief fight but he certainly wasn't backing down easily.

She stood off to the side as she waited for Crow to return. It wasn't long before the front door opened and the thief stepped in. The knight smiled a little at him and walked over to him. "Well the rooms here are just as pricey as the last one we stayed at." She said with a small sigh as she moved to take his hand in hers. "Although, this one did have at least one room with two beds but fair warning, William's pretty determined to try and make you sleep on the floor." Penelope gave an annoyed expression as she spoke.

Letting out a soft exhale, she looked up at him as she began to turn to head off in the direction of the room. "Were you able to hide everything alright?" She asked him quietly.
