Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

I honestly wasn't expecting this development cx
I really like where it's going though lol
And I'm trying to think of somethings we could have happen. Of course, I figure Gavin should follow her out at one point and get involved cx

Penelope awaited his answer to her proposition. When he finally agreed, the knight felt a wave of relief despite the big risk it would be for her. She would be putting everything on the line if she was caught. She would be lying to say that it didn't cause her some worry, especially as she considered her relationship with Gavin, but the knight was ready to risk it. It wasn't like she was defecting to the other side after all and trusted Crow to use the information she would give him wisely.

"It is." She responded with a firm nod. She reached out and took his hand to shake it. The familiar feeling of his hand in hers made her heart beat just a little faster, making her quickly end the shake. "We'll need to figure out a better place to meet up rather than your camp though." She told him, trying to focus back on the matter at hand. "I shouldn't be going there unless the news is urgent."

Though she didn't allow herself to acknowledge it, working with Crow again felt natural and even a bit exciting, despite the pain she had caused between them. She kept her serious expression though as she looked up at him. "We have a lot to figure out. But we should probably head back to the others." She said and gave a small smile of amusement. "I don't think I should leave Olivia around that one friend of yours for too long."

She didn't cx but she's too stubborn to just give up lol

It really is xD

I also like this song for Penelope
It's supposed to be about growing up but I think the lyrics just work with everything she went through/is going through cx

Penelope felt her heart sink at Crow's words. It wasn't what she had been hoping to hear, not even close. While she was glad he wasn't outright making plans to go attack, his willingness to fight made her uneasy. She was conflicted more than ever before. Usually protecting her loved ones was easy, they all had a common enemy and she would do her best to stand in the way of it those she cared for. But this time, two people she cared deeply for were pitted against each other. It should have been easier, to side with her brother and the other knights. It was the life she had chosen.

But she couldn't. Though she tried to ignore them, her feelings for Crow were still around even after rejecting him. Penelope wouldn't be able to turn against him, even with this new development. She felt powerless. "I understand having to fight if it comes down to it.." She spoke again after a moment of reflecting on his words. She lifted her gaze to look at him, a new mix of determination and desperation burning in her gaze.

"But there must be something I can do to lessen the chance of that." Penelope suddenly offered. She had to do something. She couldn't just stand back and risk losing someone in a clash of knight against criminal. The heartache she had been feeling was beginning to dull in that moment, replaced with the care she felt. "I'm a lieutenant now, a right hand to a rather powerful baroness." She explained to him. "It's the reason I was able to find out about the trap they're setting up."

Penelope hesitated. "I can work with you and your group, get you what you need. As long as it keeps you and my comrades safe, I'll do it." She said, speaking with a bit more conviction. She had been hesitant to offer Crow her help. Not because she thought he'd abuse it but rather because that meant they'd be working together despite everything that had happened the previous night. She supposed the situation wouldn't be ideal for either of them but if it meant she could protect both conflicting sides, she was willing to push past the discomfort.

Penelope isn't either cx

Oh nice lol
It fits pretty well too xD

Penelope waited for Crow to reply, feeling quite worried as he hesitated to answer her. When he finally agreed, she felt a bit of relief but not much as it put them in a situation where they were alone together yet again. The female knight tried to ignore her own feelings, which were a swirling mixture of regret, discomfort, pain, guilt and worry that made her stomach feel upset. She silently followed him as he lead them away from the group.

As the silence drawled on, she realized he was waiting for her to speak but she wasn't quite sure where to begin or how to even speak to him now. Part of her was tempted to ask him about all that had changed, wanting to know what he had gone through over the two years. Bu she doubted he'd be willing to speak with her so casually now and she couldn't blame him for that. So instead, she tried to figure out how to bring up the topic at hand.

"Are you seriously considering an attack?" She finally asked him, breaking the silence. The knight frowned as she looked up at him. Crow didn't know how to fight that well... At least, not when she had known him. His comrades seemed skilled enough to pose a real threat though and she supposed he might have sharpened his skills over the years if he had been with them long enough.

"I don't know your friends or their motives but I do know that they are willing to kill.. My brother's at the head of that patrol, Crow. I warned you so you could avoid it and be safe, not to turn around and try to fight the very people I-" gave you up to protect Penelope hesitated a bit with her words, quickly rephrasing her thoughts. "-I'm trying to protect.

Penelope went from worrying about Crow to worrying about her brother real quick after that xD

EDIT: I found another song that fits Penelope cx

Penelope waited for Crow's response but instead got the responses of the other thieves. She lifted her gaze to narrow her eyes at Alistair and Rikki as they spoke rather threateningly. It caused for an uneasy feeling to develop in the pit of her stomach. She had wanted to warn Crow to keep him safe but now seeing the willingness of his comrades to get into fights with knights, she worried she might come to regret it. If they did choose to attack, it would be possible that they'd kill her own brother along with other comrades. Her loyalties suddenly felt split and she shifted uneasily even after Crow seemed to take control of the situation.

That was another thing that caught her off guard. Not only was he apart of a band of thieves but it also appeared that he was the leader. She snuck a glance over at him. The night before he had seemed to be the same person she had left behind but now she was beginning to see bits of how he had changed. Focusing back on the matter at hand, she gave a small nod as he thanked her and then offered to bandage Olivia's wound. She wanted to leave as soon as possible but returning with Olivia wounded might draw unwanted attention to them so it was best for them to stay a little longer to treat it.

"It really is the least you can do." Olivia agreed. Seeing that everyone seemed a little less likely to attack, she put away her sword and moved to make herself comfortable as she waited for them to get the bandages for her wound. She looked over at the group of thieves and flashed a charming smile. "The name's Olivia by the way. In case anyone was curious." She added with a wink.

Penelope rolled her eyes at Olivia's antics and stood back as she waited, unable to relax. With Crow around and the thought of having put her own brother in danger, she felt troubled. She looked over to Crow once more and shifted nervously. Finally she gathered the courage to step over to him. "Crow.. Can I speak with you... About what you plan to do now about the trap I mean.." She said lowering her voice.

For real xD

Penelope glared at Alister's words and blocked his attack again. She didn't catch his glance towards the female thief and instead kept her focus on keeping his blade from making contact with her side. The sound of blades clashing right behind her made Penelope glance over her shoulder in time to see Crow had blocked the attack. As he commanded the other thieves to back down, she lowered her blade and shifted closer to Olivia.

Olivia shot a glare at the unknown thieves as she moved to press one hand over the cut on her arm. Penelope glanced over at her before her attention shifted back to Crow, frowning a little at his cold tone. There was the anger she had been expecting upon reuniting with him. The knight tried to ignore the own hurt she felt. She had no right to. She was the one that hard turned him down after all. Trying to focus back on the matter at hand, Penelope finally spoke up, despite how he focused on Olivia.

"My brother's planning to set a trap up tomorrow in Norcrest." She began. "The knights have no intent of paying for the weapons back so they decided to try and put together an ambush. They're disguising themselves as commoners so that they won't be as easily noticed. They're actually probably on there way there right now.. He spoke about leaving once night fell."

"Yeah I unfortunately got dragged into delivering this information." Olivia added with a shrug.

Penelope looked over at Olivia, shooting her a small look of apology. She looked back to Crow but finding it difficult met his gaze, she instead lowered her gaze to the ground. "I just wanted to warn you."
