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!

Penelope sat up as she heard the door open, smiling as Crow entered the room. She barely had any time to say anything as the thief headed over to her and pressed a kiss to her lips. The knight didn't skip a beat and kissed him back. As he pulled back, she smiled softly at him. "I missed you too," she murmured. Once he sat down next to her, she took his hand in hers and pressed closer to him.
"It wasn't too bad," she assured him. "The first couple of days were the worst merely because of how furious Mia, my baroness, was with me. But she's cooled down now and so has everyone else. Aside from a few snarky remarks that occasionally come up, not much has changed. It's nothing to worry about though. They just think I was being reckless." She gave him a small smirk and shrugged her shoulders.
"Which I suppose to some extent isn't totally wrong. Anyways, so long as I don't have to disappear for that long again, I'm sure everything will be fine." Penelope gave his hand a soft squeeze and looked over at him, her smirk fading a bit as she took on a more serious expression.
"How are you doing?" she asked him, her gaze briefly sweeping over him. One of the things she found frustrating about the illness was how difficult it was to tell how he felt. She had only discovered it by accident and couldn't help but wonder how much longer she would have gone without knowing about it if he hadn't collapsed during their attempt to escape from the patrol. "Where you able to find a new camp alright? I hope it wasn't too far of a walk for you."

I like it!
The meeting does have a bit going on but I think it fits well for Rikki's character for her to follow him out there. Especially since she's been kinda coddling him anyways cx

Penelope smiled to herself as the familiar building came into view. The place wasn't much to look at considering how worn down it was but it's personal importance to Crow was beginning to wear off a bit on the knight as they continued to meet there. Though they had plans to leave to Farhill, she would like to one day figure out a way to repair it for him, even if they didn't have plans to actually use the small home.
She stepped inside and looked into the room with a bright gaze as she expected to see him there. However, it seemed that she was the first to arrive. The knight quietly closed the door behind her and stepped further into the room. She tried to suppress the nervousness she felt about being the first to arrive. The knight hoped it was just due to her eagerness that she had arrived a little earlier than usual and not that Crow had ran into any trouble, sickness or patrol alike. I'm probably just early. She assured herself with a small shake of her head. Though it didn't completely rid her of her worry, Penelope managed to push it to the back of her mind for now.
Deciding it was much too soon to start fretting over it, Penelope walked over to grab the oil lamp from the table. Lighting it, she set it down in the middle of the room then stepped off to the side to remove her cloak. She stretched for a moment before setting the cloak down on the nearby chair. Stepping over to the bed, she sat down and leaned back on the palms of her hands she waited for Crow. Her gaze rested on the front door for a moment before she leaned her head back to look up at the broken ceiling, letting her thoughts wander a bit as she considered how much there was to do in the coming days.

Penelope doesn't realize Gavin's trying to win her back yet xD
After speaking with Jane, Penelope felt a bit more confident about dealing with Crow's illness. As long as the thief remained careful about not exerting himself, the knight remained positive about beating his sickness. The following days passed without much issue. She spent her time wisely, often speaking with Mia and Tomas, on guard duty, or practicing with her sword to be ready for the upcoming fight. News of her sneaking off had died down considerably during the week she spent in camp and luckily so did Mia's anger with her. By the end of the week, the baroness was already beginning to treat her normally again.
As the day finally came to meet up with Crow again, Penelope felt a familiar rush of excitement. She hoped he was doing alright after having lost his camp and that his new camp wouldn't be too far for him. Even though they could move the meeting place if it was, she worried about the strain it might cause him that night. However, she had no way of knowing until she met up with him. Trying to keep herself busy to make the day go by a bit faster and to keep her mind off her worries, she ended up having a sparring match with Gavin.
The sound of metal clashing filled the air and she brought her sword down heavily against his as he blocked her. The male knight let out a small grunt and pushed her back with his blade. "You're sure not holding back today." Gavin commented as he blocked another one of her attacks. Penelope swiped at his right before lunging forward in an attempt to slip past his defense.
"Just trying to make sure you keep sharp." She told him with a small smirk.
The two clashed with their swords a couple more times, neither willingly letting the other break through their defense. Eventually, Penelope spotted an opening and danced around his blade gracefully as she lifted her sword to stop by his throat. "Gotcha." She winked. Over the past week, she had gotten a bit more comfortable around him again. He didn't seem to hold much of a grudge against her for ending things, though it was a topic both of them usually avoided, and she was glad to have his friendship.
"So you have." Gavin mused as he lowered his blade. He put it away and then looked over at Penelope curiously. "What's got you so energetic today?"
Penelope put her sword back in it's sheath and gave a small shrug. "Nothing. Just a bit anxious with the next battle coming up I guess." She replied casually.
"I know what you mean." Gavin sighed. "I can't believe the barons are going to try and push for two attacks within less than a week apart from each other."
"They really want to make the most of this advantage they have before Younis gets more supplies." Penelope mused with a shrug. The knight glanced up at the afternoon sky and shifted as she was reminded of the real reason for her energy. "Anyways, I think I'm going to head off and take a break. I'll see you later, Gavin." She said giving him a small wave before turning and heading off. She wanted to try and get a small bit of rest in before her meeting with Crow, since she didn't want to wear herself out before she had to travel to Myrefall.

Night soon fell and Penelope's excitement grew. She threw on her cloak and carefully stepped out of her tent, making sure none of the guards or other knights were nearby as usual. Moving cautiously, the female knight had no trouble sneaking out of her camp, which she was grateful for as she couldn't imagine getting caught now after disappearing for a whole day. It'd be a lot harder to come up with a reasonable and believable excuse.
As she walked towards the village, the knight began to think about all she had to tell Crow. Aside from merely meeting him because they were together, she actually had a bit of information to go over with him due to the more formal aspect of their meetings. A battle would be occurring soon and there was the possibility of another one soon after. She wondered if the thieves would be able to handle it. The knights were well supplied now and had a large group to depend on unlike the small band of thieves. Though she wasn't particularly close to any of Crow's companions, she hoped they would be safe in the coming fight.
She also hoped Crow would stay out of the coming fight and was already thinking of a way to convince the stubborn thief to back down from it. Penelope let out a soft sigh and looked ahead as she stepped out of the forest onto the street. She glanced around, making sure there were no nearby guards before continuing on her path to their meeting place.

The next few days went on without much difficulty for the knight. Penelope remained in camp most of the time and often picked up a few guard shifts to keep herself busy. Gavin also began to spend time with her again, a change she was quick to notice. She was glad to have his company again, even though they were on somewhat rocky terms. The female knight hoped that it meant they could figure out a way to be friends since she did still care for the male knight.
The camp seemed quick to change focus and now that they had recovered their stolen supplies, a majority of the knights were already preparing for the next battle. Battle plans had finally been settled between the barons as well and it was a mixture of both ideas. The knights would first strike the Younisian forces a little further south of Grimsby, ranging closer to Whitebridge instead. If they won that battle, Mia intended to quickly push for Grimsby, meaning that there would likely be two battles in a relatively short time from each other, which made Penelope quite uneasy for many reasons.
One of them being Crow and his illness. She was worried that the thief would still insist on fighting despite the danger he'd be putting himself in. Her worry didn't waver easily either and remained as a constant reminder that she needed to speak with Jane about meeting with Hazel. She hoped that Crow had had success in convincing the cold woman.
Penelope walked towards the infirmary, which was made of multiple small tents where the physicians stored their medicine and treated their patients. Stepping inside one, she began to look around for Jane. A young assistant looked up from the book he was reading as she stepped in and tilted his head slightly. "Hello. Do you need help with something?" He asked politely.
"I'm looking for Jane. Do you happen to know where she is?" Penelope asked.
The boy nodded. "She's a couple tents down the right in one of the storage rooms."
"Ah ok. Thank you." Penelope said before slipping out of the tent and headed down towards the other tent. She stepped inside and spotted Jane as the physician looked over the medicines and seemed to be keeping a tally of their supplies. The woman seemed so focused in her simple work that she didn't even notice Penelope's arrival. The knight stepped a little further into the tent. "Hey Jane."
The physician turned her head and blinked in surprise. "Oh, hello Penelope." She said as she carefully set down a small jar of herbs before turning to face the knight. "What brings you here dear? Is your shoulder acting up?"
"No, I'm fine I was just hoping I could speak with you about a concern I have." Penelope said, walking over to the healer as she gestured for her to come closer.
"Of course you can." Jane nodded her head. "What's troubling you?"
"Well about four days ago when I left camp, I wandered through the village near here, Myrefall, and it seems to me that there's some kind of sickness running through there." Penelope explained, being careful about how she structured her story to the healer. "I spoke with one of the locals, a herbalist actually, and found out that they call it the Creeping Death. There's no known cure for it and everyone that has it eventually dies."
Jane crossed her arms as she looked over at Penelope. "I hope you're not trying to push charity work on me." She remarked with a frown. "I'm being paid to aid the knights here, not to solve the issues of the outer villages you know."
"I'm not." Penelope shook her head quickly. "It's out of concern for the knights here. Our camp isn't far from this village so it's completely possible that eventually the knights will catch it. I was hoping you'd be willing to try and look into this illness more so that we'd be prepared for it if the time ever came."
Jane fell quiet for a moment, pursing her lips together as she seemed to think over Penelope's words. The knight shifted, feeling a bit desperate for Jane's agreement.
"A-And you wouldn't have to work alone on this. The herbalist that I mentioned before is trying to find a cure. I just thought she could use some help. She's not trained like you but she's got quite a bit of skill from what I hear. I'm sure I can arrange a meeting between you two." Penelope said.
Jane let out a small sigh. "Maybe.. I understand your concern with that village being so close.. Give me some time to think it over. After the next battle, perhaps we can figure out a meeting between me and this herbalist you speak of."
Penelope felt a small wave of relief. Though Jane seemed reluctant and hadn't fully agreed yet, it was still a good sign to hear her at least open to the idea of meeting with Hazel. If the two were able to work together, the knight felt a little more confident that they'd be able to find a cure for Crow. She nodded her head. "Alright. Thank you Jane." She said politely before turning and heading out of the tent, feeling a bit more hopeful.

Who knew the answer to keeping one secret was telling another xD
I might skip ahead a little for my next post. I don't imagine much will happen for Penelope during the week since she's just trying to keep things calm while they plan for the next battle, aside from the upcoming talk with Jane.
