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!

No, no he does not lol
Jane's getting a little invested in the meetings now xD
Sorry that took so long to get up. I got off of work at like 10pm last night then had to go back at 8:30am today but luckily it was just a four hour shift. But I crashed once I got home lol

The two women eventually reached the tavern and took a seat down at one of the empty tables in the back. It seemed they had beaten the herbalist there this time so they relaxed for a moment as they waited for Hazel to arrive. Jane pulled out her book as usual, planning to pass the time with reading. Penelope sighed and leaned her elbow against the table as she watched the tavern door.
"Hmm.. Penelope?" Jane suddenly mumbled as she looked up from her book and over at the knight. "Do you happen to know when the next battle is occurring?"
"Well it's not completely certain yet but I believe in about a week or so." Penelope responded with a shrug. "Why?"
"Just curious.. Hazel might be on her own for a while if the new batch of medicine didn't improve her patient enough. Hopefully there won't be much to change this meeting." Jane shrugged and looked back down at her book.
Penelope raised an eyebrow at the physician, surprised to hear her even sound faintly concerned. However, she didn't get a chance to question her more about it as the front door of the tavern opened and the herbalist stepped inside. The knight gave a small wave to catch her attention before leaning back in her seat as Hazel joined them at the table. Jane lowered her book and gave a small nod of greeting to the herbalist.
"Hello." The physician gave a small smile. "So how did the medicine go this time?"

Ok! I went ahead with a skip c:
The following days went by slowly for Penelope despite the work she had to focus on. First and foremost was the replacing of Bran. Mia seemed to approve of the choices she presented her, though was a bit wary about promoting Gavin due to his inexperience. Penelope, rooting for her friend to get the position, spoke to Bran himself about it and got him to weigh in on the matter during the meeting between the barons. In the end, the barons settled on giving Gavin a chance after hearing Bran's support for him. The male knight was admittedly thrilled to receive the temporary job and immediately put all his focus in taking over the duties Bran previously had.
Due to this, he was usually more busy than before which meant Penelope was unable to spend as much time with him as she was before. Still, the two often joined each other for dinner, making a bit of time during their usually busy days. Between not seeing Crow for so long and spending more time with Gavin, it nearly felt like how life would have been if she had never run back into the thief. Though not particularly bad in any way, it felt rather lonely to her now as she continued to miss Crow. It made her hope that the day they could finally be together in Farhill would come sooner rather than later.
Penelope also started going on patrols with Layth again. Though it was unlikely that the knight would actually find the thieves, she couldn't help but worry due to Crow's current state. She might have been powerless to do much about the illness herself but she could at least try to keep him and his comrades safe from the other knights. Over the course of four days she began to wear down Layth's resolve in finding the thieves and tried to get him focused on the threat of Younis instead. While he didn't completely give up, Penelope did notice most of his patrols stuck closer to the border than before. It wasn't much but it at least made her hopeful that his stubbornness to find the thieves was dying down for now.
The fifth day finally came and the knight felt her stomach churn nervously. She remained hopeful about the last batch of medicine and with any luck, Crow would be feeling better. After going on a long patrol with Layth again, she returned to camp and headed off to find Jane as the sun began to sink. It was nearly time for them to leave.
The knight stepped over to Jane's tent, finding the physician scrambling to gather her things as she walked in. Penelope raised an eyebrow. "Everything ok?"
"Yeah. A meeting with Roger just ran a little late. His wound hasn't been healing properly because he refuses to listen to me so I spent more time treating him that I thought I would." Jane explained shaking her head. She finished packing and slung her bag over her shoulder. "I swear, some of these knights are no better than children."
"That's true." Penelope mused with a smirk.
"Don't say that like you're innocent." Jane laughed. "I still remember you wanting to charge out of the bed when we first met two years ago... You have a near death experience and yet I could barely get you to stay still. You know, for most people, it's a wake up call to be more careful with their life not more reckless."
Penelope blushed a little and averted her gaze. She had forgotten about that. Most of the time, she was careful in handling her wounds, especially serious ones. But back then, the knight had had only one thing on her mind and that was finding out any way she could to prevent the war so she could get back to Crow. An image of him came to mind and she let out a long sigh, wondering how she had ever been able to go two full years without seeing him when almost three weeks was torture enough.
"Oh I'm just teasing." Jane waved her hand dismissively, mistaking Penelope's prolonged silence for embarrassment. "You're not so bad anymore. You actually listen to me most of the time."
"I try." Penelope said with a small smile as she pulled herself out of her thoughts. "Are you ready to go now?" She asked, eager to find out how Crow was doing.
"Yeah, let's go." Jane nodded.
The two noblewomen headed out of the camp and towards Myrefall. They chatted a bit but Penelope's focus was mainly on getting to the tavern to meet with Hazel. She hoped that the herbalist would bring them good news about how the herbs had worked. If she did, it likely meant that she'd be able to see Crow soon once they were able to arrange a meeting away from the physician and herbalist. The thought was something that made her heart beat excitedly as she remained hopeful that the medicine had worked.

No worries xD I've been at work pretty much all day so I get it lol
Did you want to go through the five days again or time skip to the meeting??
I may have lowkey written part of the next day already but I'm fine with whichever you want xD The knights won't have anything too important going on just some minor stuff with the other characters c:

Penelope smiled a little as she listened to Hazel. The knight felt her heartbeat excitedly at the first half of the report, it sounded like the new medicine was truly working. It filled her with relief to know that Crow was making progress and it sounded like they might have just cured him. That is, until Hazel mentioned that the results weren't all positive. The knight looked over at her, meeting her gaze gaze for a brief moment before Hazel looked back to Jane.
As she went on to explain that Crow wasn't completely cured, the knight shifted uncomfortably. Her previous feeling of relief drained slightly as she learned that, though he was doing better, the disease could still kill him. However, with Jane around, Penelope remained silent and fairly stoic aside from a faint look of worry as the two continued to talk. Though Crow might not have been completely cured, it didn't sound like all hope was lost quite yet as the they spoke of how to handle him coughing up blood.
Penelope still felt concerned hearing that the disease was still killing him but hearing Jane and Hazel speak about treating it further made her relax a little. It was too much to expect them to find a complete treatment with only one meeting after all and by the sound of it, Crow still had time. However, she hoped that this refinement on the medicine would be the last one they needed. The knight looked over at Hazel and nodded her head in agreement with her parting words. "I hope so." The knight said softly.
"Hopefully." Jane agreed with a firm nod before she slowly stood up. Letting out a small yawn she looked over at Penelope. "Come on we should get back to camp."
Penelope paused before nodding her head in agreement. She wished she was able to speak with Hazel more privately, wanting to ask more about how Crow was doing aside from just the illness. However, it was rather impossible with Jane around, which was probably a good thing since the knight had a feeling Hazel would get much too easily annoyed by the pestering. So instead Penelope got up to her feet to leave with the physician. "See you in five days." She said with a small wave goodbye.
Jane lead the way out of the tavern and Penelope followed closely behind. The two stepped out onto the street and began to make their way back to camp. A silence fell over them, both clearly deep in thought as they walked. Penelope eventually spoke up, letting out a long sigh, "So you think those herbs will do the trick for her patient?"
"I think so." Jane shrugged and looked over at Penelope. "Unless it's something other than clotting in the lungs, I think it it'll work but medicine and illnesses are complicated so no one can say for sure until after we try it."
Penelope nodded her head understandingly and focused her gaze back ahead as they walked to camp. As they reached the camp, the two parted ways as they headed to their separate tents. Penelope moved to lay down for the night as she stepped into her tent, eager to get some sleep. The knight still remained hopeful about finding the cure for the illness despite the fact that the last medicine hadn't been a complete success. As she laid down for the night, she found it difficult to sleep as her mind continued to wander back to Crow and his health. She found the illness a bit frustrating the more she thought about. The knight wished she could do more to help him, more to protect him, but it wasn't an enemy that she could fight for him. She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes tightly. Eventually the knight managed to drift off into a light sleep.

Oh nice xD
Oh he gets along with them. He's just not friends with me anymore. We had a huge fight this last summer and we talked it out but I didn't want to be friends with him anymore because well he said some hurtful stuff and basically told me he was only interested in being around for the fun times and didn't really care. So I was just like peace lol
Then today I guess he hung out with our friends and they were finally talking to him about his side of the fight and honestly I have no idea what's going on xD there's a lot of confusing things that don't make sense but I guess they lectured him on some stuff so there's that

The following day Penelope spent most of her time trying to figure out who would be able to take over as captain of cavalry for Bran. She walked around camp for a while trying to come up with who she would present to Mia. It wasn't easy though as she had barely any knowledge about how the cavalry operated anyways. At one point, she ceased her wandering and instead sat down near training area to watch a few knights clash swords as she thought.
"Uh oh, looks like you're having trouble with something."
She turned her head as Gavin stepped up besides her. The male knight offered a friendly smile and then moved to sit down, joining her as they watched others spar. Penelope shrugged her shoulders and let out a long sigh. "A little.. Mia wants someone to replace Bran and I've got to figure out some suggestions but I have no idea who."
"I'm glad she's giving him a break.. He needs it." Gavin frowned, his gaze becoming distant for a brief moment which was enough to tell her that he was thinking of Alan. She moved to rest a hand on his shoulder comfortingly and the knight snapped out of it. "But uh, anyways, I might be able to help you." He turned to her with another smile. "I've spent quite a bit of time around Bran and his unit so I might have some ideas if you want to hear them."
"Please." She nodded appreciatively.
"Well, there's Ben. He's an older knight who's work with Bran for a long time. He can be a bit lazy but he's likely got the experience you're looking for to fill in the position. Then there's Alice. She's young and ambitious but she's a quick learner and could probably figure out a way to handle the job.. I mean, most of Bran's work is just organization and making sure the horses, wagons and other such things are in good shape for the next battle." Gavin explained to her with a shrug. "Aside from him leading the force during a fight that is."
Penelope nodded as she listened to Gavin speak about the two different knights. However, she needed three options to give Mia. The female knight paused and eyed him for a moment before smirking. "They'll work... But I need a third option too... How do you feel about being it?" She asked hopefully.
"Me?" Gavin raised an eyebrow at her. "I don't know.."
"Why not? Sounds to me you spent enough time around Bran to know how to take over for him. Plus I'm sure even he'll agree your a good fit since it's temporary." Penelope assured him with a small smile. "I'll recommend you as well as Alice and Ben tomorrow."
"Alright. If you say so." Gavin nodded. The two went on to chat idly, though Penelope was quick to notice how upbeat Gavin was after she said she would put him as a candidate for the temporary job. She suddenly felt herself rooting for her friend, hopeful that the barons would find him to be the best candidate. It would potentially open up a path for him to attain higher ranks by the end of the war, which was something she hoped for him, knowing that he'd use that power to help the outer villages if he could.

As sunset came around, Penelope parted with Gavin and headed off to meet with Jane. She walked briskly, feeling a bit impatient to heard how the medicine had been working. She hoped that Hazel had been successful in treating Crow with the new herbs but couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the slivers of doubt that occasionally crossed her mind. Penelope focused her gaze ahead, trying not to get ahead of herself before they even heard from Hazel. The physician was already prepared to leave this time, having packed early. She turned her head as she heard the knight step into her tent. "Ah there you are. For a moment, I was worried you were sending me off alone tonight." Jane sighed
"Never. This was my idea after all." Penelope gave a small smile. "Ready to go?"
Jane nodded as she shifted the strap of her bag on her shoulder. Penelope turned and lead the way out of camp. The two walked quietly through the forest. Jane seemed to be deep in thought and the knight didn't bother to break it as she was focusing on getting to Myrefall. As they stepped out into the village, the knight felt a familiar pang of longing to see Crow again. She let out a small sigh as she tried to ignore it and focus on the tavern ahead. With any luck, it won't be much longer... And by then, he might even be cured. She thought hopefully. Keeping positive, she opened the door of the tavern and stepped inside with Jane. She glanced around until her gaze landed on Hazel and made her way over to the table.
The two sat down across from the herbalist. "So, how did the herbs work? Any results so far?" Jane spoke first as she dug into her bag to pull out her book. Penelope remained silent but she looked hopefully at Hazel as she awaited an answer.
"Uh oh, looks like you're having trouble with something."
She turned her head as Gavin stepped up besides her. The male knight offered a friendly smile and then moved to sit down, joining her as they watched others spar.
