Hello! This is Buzzingbee! I used to be on here as BuzzBee but I had some trouble. I had issues in real life that made me go off for a while and then when I was going to come back on, passwords, emails, etc were forgotten and lost. xD But I'm back and ready to jump into where I left off!

Sorry that took me so long to get up cx their talk ended up being much longer than I originally thought it would be lol
When morning came, Penelope woke up nearly thinking that the night had before had just been a dream. She slowly sat up and ran a hand through her hair as she recalled everything that had happened. Her heart raced a little as she thought of how Crow still loved her and how close they had been, even if it was only for a moment. The knight closed her eyes and let out a long sigh as she had to face the more challenging part of the memory, finding out her answer.
She stood up and headed out of her tent to start the day, grabbing breakfast and sitting down with a few of her comrades. As she ate, she spotted Gavin approaching out of the corner of her eye. The sight of him made her a bit nervous as she was suddenly unsure how to act around her suitor while she was considering leaving him for Crow. "Morning." She finally greeted him as he sat down besides her.
"Morning." Gavin said offering a small smile. He eyed her for a moment before resting his hand on hers and she tensed slightly at his touch. He frowned and looked over at her questioningly. "Did you sleep alright?"
"Yeah.. The storm made it a bit difficult but I managed." She lied, still not wanting him to know about her fear. "At least the weather cleared up today though."
Gavin nodded his head in agreement. "So what's the plan for today? If you're not too busy, I was thinking we could get away from camp for a bit." He offered quietly. "I'm sure we could both use a break from people like your brother constantly complaining about what happened with the thief." He smiled hopefully at her. "What do you think?"
Penelope faltered slightly at his offer. With everything she was considering, the female knight wanted to put a little bit of distance between her and Gavin until she was able to figure out if she was going to stay with him or not. She returned his smile. "That sounds nice but I'm afraid I'm booked for the day. I need to speak with Mia for awhile about some plans for future battles. Sorry."
"It's alright. Maybe a different time." He mused with a shrug. Penelope gave him an appreciative look, glad that he didn't push for her to find the time.

"The battle at Grimsby was sloppy. See that's what happens when you let a fool like Bennet make a few decisions."
As morning turned to day, Penelope had stayed partially true to her words to Gavin. She joined Mia alone in her private tent, speaking with the baroness about the last battle. Mia sat back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest and a look of annoyance on her face as spoke about their loss. It seemed that the woman didn't take defeat very easily and from what Penelope could tell, she was planning on avenging the loss the Brerratic troops had suffered.
"I'm sure we'll be able to take back Grimsby." Penelope mused with a shrug.
"Of course we will. With those two half-wits chasing after a petty thief, I'll focus on making sure the Younisians suffer a complete defeat." Mia stated confidently.
Penelope smiled in amusement at Mia's words. She looked over at the baroness and hesitated. Mia was a strong and powerful woman, someone she greatly respected. The knight let out a small sigh, wishing that she could simply ask Mia for advice on her current situation. Though she couldn't ask directly, perhaps there was some way to still have Mia help, even if indirectly. She glanced curiously at her higher up.
"Mia... I was wondering, why did you choose me to be your lieutenant?" She asked. "I mean, you approached me about it right after my failed mission. Surely there had to be someone else better suited.. And besides you already have Tomas."
Mia looked over at Penelope and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking this now?... Is this because of what happened with that thief? Honestly Penelope you shouldn't worry about such things during a war."
"No, no it's not just that." She said quickly. "I just wanted to know. I've always been curious."
The baroness eyed her for a moment before giving a small nod. "Well.. If you must know, it's because I think you're capable of great things. You see, you're an interesting person, Penelope. You're a noble, but you're not blinded by wealth or power.. Much unlike most of your family." She smirked and stood up, walking over to Penelope. "Even I get wrapped up in such things but I have yet to see that happen to you.. Also, your views are quite different than my own. I like to focus on our borders, fighting for them, expanding them, guarding them. You, however, like to focus on what's inside them. Your family, your friends, even the people out here in the villages."
"While I appreciate the praise, I'm not the only one like that." Penelope said as she held the baroness' gaze. "Like Gavin for example."
Mia gave a soft snort. "While I understand your fondness for your suitor, he is not the same as you, Penelope. He may share similar values but you're much different. Gavin works within the premade laws, doing what he is suppose to, doing what he is told to. You, however, do what you can. You change the rules." Her eyes gleamed. "Just like how you got an extension for your mission from Younis. That's what first got my attention. I'll admit, I was worried I had misjudged you but when we fought at Whitebridge and you took matters into your own hands again, I knew I had made the right choice."
Penelope fell silent for a moment as she took in Mia's words. She wasn't sure she completely agreed with them. One had been a desperate and rather impulsive act to try and retrieve the staff merely because she had been too stubborn to let go of Crow easily. The second, she had just been desperate to end unnecessary slaughter of the villagers. They didn't seem to deserve the praise that Mia was giving them. But, the knight trusted the baroness' judgement so she didn't argue against her words. However, it left her wondering what Mia expected from her after the war.
"I see.." She mumbled with a small nod. ".. Then, what exactly do you see for my future, Mia?"
"No one can predict the future dear." Mia said before giving a sly smirk. "But I can try. After this war you'll have gained great experience and a good reputation so long as you continue as you are. I can't guarantee how far you'll be able to go but I don't think you should limit yourself. You're a bright girl with a strong head and heart. Perhaps you'll rise to my rank one day. Or perhaps even further. I'm not sure. It depends on what you want and what you're willing to do to get there." Mia paused then looked at her questioningly. "What's with these questions?"
"Nothing. Just... thinking about after the war." She replied absent-mindedly. Mia's words circled in her head. Part of her liked the sound of continuing to rise up in her career and Mia seemed rather confident that she'd be able to do it. As a baroness, the things she could do would be far greater than what she was currently able to do. However, her desire to go chasing after such things was small. Titles and power had never interested her very much and they still didn't. While she might be able to help more, Penelope felt doubtful that was what she wanted the more she thought about it. Crow had always helped the outer villages and she was sure she could find a way to do the same.
The two focused back on battle plans now that Penelope had gotten a bit of what she was looking for out of Mia. She was grateful for the baroness' willingness to speak with her about such things and felt like it would help her decide her future when the time came.

I'm excited cx
That's probably my last post until after work!
That's probably my last post until after work!
Penelope nodded her head as he mentioned they should start heading back. She took her cloak from him, mumbling a word of thanks, and tried to squeeze out more of the water before throwing the wet clothing over her shoulders again. The knight gave a small shiver before moving towards the door. She looked over at Crow and nodded her head. "See you." She said before parting ways with the thief.
As he headed off towards the ravine, Penelope stepped out and headed off in the direction of camp. Now alone and not panicking because of the storm, she found her mind buzzing with thoughts of what had happened between them. Her heart pounded both nervously and excitedly in her chest. She certainly didn't regret telling Crow how she felt, even though it had happened rather suddenly, but now it left her with a big decision to make. She had three days to think it over but the knight was already trying to figure out what she wanted as she walked alone.
Two years ago she would have easily given everything up for Crow if the war had been prevented. However, since those plans were destroyed, she had focused heavily on her career. Penelope glanced over her shoulder towards the village of Myrefall as she considered what she had been able to do to help the outer villages thanks to her position as a lieutenant. It had felt rather empowering to make a difference in the war and she'd be lying to say that she didn't want to do more of that. If she chose to stay, perhaps she'd be able to go even farther to make a difference for the outer villages, especially if she had Gavin at her side who shared a similar goal.
But would that be enough for me? She wondered as Crow crossed through her mind. She had come to accept that she loved him and that it was unlikely for her to love any other man, even Gavin, like she did him. Though they had been on rocky terms at first because of her initial decision, she seemed to have naturally drifted back into working with him and grew close to him again rather easily. She thought of the future she had once planned for with him in Farhill. She had believed that future to be long dead but now, it wasn't and a familiar longing to run off with the thief tugged strongly at her heart. The knight felt torn in two.
As she reached the knight's camp, she quietly snuck back into her tent, relieved to finally be back. She changed out of the peasant clothing and quickly laid down for the night. Though she felt conflicted, Penelope was far too tired to stay up for much longer. She soon drifted off into a deep sleep, leaving the confusion she felt to be better addressed in the coming days.

I'm going to stick with the new account but I used the old one to fix Penelope's old character sheet cx
Sounds good to me!
I'm planning for her to have a few big conversations. Namely with Mia, Layth and of course, Gavin. Maybe Olivia too but I'm thinking it'll be more of an 'I told you so' type conversation than anything else lol

Penelope smiled softly, glad to hear that the information she had been giving him helped the villagers. With storm dying down and being close to him again, she suddenly found the moment rather peaceful. Though she wanted to get back to camp, she found that part of her was rather content in staying besides Crow in his old home. She looked up at him as he spoke again and asked her about when they should meet again. The knight paused to think it over.
It was a bit difficult to say how much time she would need. There was a lot to consider and if she did end up choosing him, there were still issues she'd have to figure out before meeting up with him. The biggest being her courtship with Gavin. She'd have to end it and doing so could prove to be more troublesome in the future if her father found out about it. He was the one who had forced her into the courtship in the first place, so she doubted he would be too accepting of her ending it on her own terms.
As he mentioned meeting at his home rather than tavern, she gave a small nod. "We can meet here." She agreed. Penelope liked the sound of meeting at his childhood home more so than the tavern, especially considering their past history as well as how they had come to meet their for business as of late. The knight made a mental note to pay attention to the outside of it when she left. Having been rather terrified by the storm, she hadn't been paying much attention to her surrounds when he had led her to the home and wanted to make sure she'd be able to find it when their next meeting came.
"Let's meet again here in three days." She told him decisively. "That should be enough time for me to figure things out." The knight reluctantly moved her head off of his shoulder. With the rain fading, it seemed they'd be able to leave soon. Penelope fell silent for a moment before lowering her gaze to the ground. "Thank you... For giving me this chance I mean, to figure out everything out."

No worries cx
Cool! I'll be on most of the day but I do have work later. Luckily it's only 3-7 so it's a short shift c:

Penelope shifted her gaze away as a silence fell between them for a moment. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to take in all that had occurred. It was difficult, as she was still shaken from the storm outside, and decided it was best for her to let it go for now. She opened her eyes again once Crow broke the silence and looked over at him. The knight smiled a little at his words and felt her heart beat just a little faster as he kissed her cheek.
"Thank you." She said quietly before moving to lean her head on his shoulder again, this time not backing away. "And you know, I'll still be there for you too. Regardless of what I choose, I'll still work as your informant and I'll do what I can to keep helping you." Penelope meant her words. Even if she couldn't be with him, the knight knew she wouldn't be able to just stop helping him. She wanted to be there for him because regardless of her decision, she still loved and cared for him. Choosing to keep her life as it was wouldn't change that.
The knight let out a small sigh, feeling a bit tired. She eyed the sky from the ceiling cracks. The storm was still going on outside but it seemed that it was slowing down. The rain didn't seem to be pouring as heavily as before and the lightning and thunder seemed to be dying down, or at least she hoped so. "I think the storm will be passing soon.. Thank the gods." She breathed, as she moved to rub one arm with her hand. She was cold and found herself eager to return to her camp so she could get out of her drenched clothing.
