Penelope nodded at Crow's words, glad to hear that he had been able to retrieve the items without much trouble. At William's grumble, the female knight briefly gave an annoyed look before moving to mount their horse. Though William seemed intent on disagreeing with every little thing they did, his words at least seemed a little less harsh. She hoped that meant he had taken her words seriously. Though, that probably means he's going to be in an even bigger rush to get back to Brerra.. She thought to herself.
As Crow joined her on the horse, she gave a small nod at his words. "Hopefully.. If we can just avoid fighting each other, I'll count it as a good day." She said with a soft sigh. Penelope leaned lightly against Crow as he had his arms wrapped around her middle and began to follow William as he lead the way back onto the road. It was still decently early so it wasn't very busy out yet. Still, the female knight adjusted the hood of her cloak to make sure her face was still hidden.
Riding on, Penelope noticed a couple other travelers on horseback. They were riding slowly ahead of them, in no apparent hurry. William, in a rush as usual, eventually maneuvered his horse around them. Penelope followed his lead but a bit more cautiously. The area they were in didn't get many travelers and from what she had heard, the ones they did get were nobles or other such visitors of the king. The clothing these ones wore didn't seem luxurious in any manner and despite the lack of tightness of the cloaks, they seemed rather tall and muscular. Something that reminded her of the mercenary she and Crow had faced before.
Penelope grew tense as she moved past them, keeping a close watch on them and their movements out of the corner of her eye. However, they continued on their way without problem and as they fell further behind them, Penelope began to relax slightly again. Perhaps she was just being a bit paranoid, especially since they were traveling around the same town where they had been attacked before. The female knight shifted a bit, still unable to shake a small feeling of uneasiness. She frowned and glanced around nearby alleyways, looking for any signs of movement.
All seemed quiet though and the closest thing to a sign of threat were the other travelers who had fallen behind them now, going at the same slow pace that caused for their distance between them to grow. Penelope glanced back at Crow. "Does something seem... Off?" She asked in a hushed tone.
