Penelope's not letting Gavin off easy xD

Penelope gave a small laugh and followed Crow into the other room. The knight was quick to note how Gavin had strategically placed himself in a position that would force some distance between her and Crow. She felt a bubble of irritation at his constant determination to separate them but she kept it to herself as she moved to sit down at the other empty seat at the table. They would have plenty of time to still be near each other for the rest of the trip. It was senseless to get worked up over such a small time apart during a meal.

As she began to eat her breakfast, she listened as Olivia asked about their next move. Having been drunk the night before, she was curious as well what the plan would be now. It seemed that they hadn't gotten any good information so she wondered what they would do now that it seemed they had reached a dead end. Penelope glanced between the thief and knight as the two began to bicker. Gavin was clearly blinded by his distrust of Crow, making the female knight frown slightly as he seemed satisfied thinking he had won.

"Hold on," she spoke up now, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked over at Gavin. She didn't want him to get away with shutting down Crow's plan just because of his distrust of the thief. If there was still potentially information to be uncovered in Aramoor, she didn't want to let the opportunity slip away. "I think he's right. We shouldn't be rushing off when we barely managed to complete anything last night."

Gavin's satisfied look faded as she spoke up and the male knight frowned slightly. "We talked with the villagers. They didn't see any group that came through here that would match the description he gave us.. It's best if we just go back and figure out a different plan."

"I was drunk and you two were working together. I doubt we really asked them as much as we could.. In fact, I don't even remember asking them." Penelope retorted. "Gavin, we traveled all this way, we should be making sure we didn't miss anything." As the male knight grew silent, she let out a long sigh noticing him glance towards Crow again. It seemed he was having a difficult time trusting her, likely believing her judgment was too clouded. Feeling another bubble of irritation and a pang from her headache, she gazed sternly at Gavin.

"My judgment isn't clouded by bias, make sure yours isn't either otherwise we're never going to catch those criminals." A small smirk crossed her lips and she winked at him adding, "Consider that a direct order from your higher up."

Gavin flushed slightly and Olivia laughed, "I knew it was only a matter of time before you pulled your lieutenant card."

"I just want to catch the people responsible for this." Penelope mumbled glancing down at her plate. The knight thought about how hard their camp had been hit and how many guards had been killed. Millicent popped into her mind and a stab of guilt followed. Even though she wasn't directly responsible for her death, she felt she had played a big hand in it since the archerer had taken her guard shift. She wanted justice for her and the others. "I'll do what it takes and I don't want to leave until we're absolutely certain there's nothing here."

Gavin gave her a sympathetic look and leaned back in his chair. "I know..." he sighed somberly as he recovered from his initial embarrassment at her words. He gave a displeased expression and glanced over at Penelope. "Alright... Maybe we should stay and double check." he finally agreed. However, he turned to Crow and narrowed his eyes. "But I think we can handle this part alone. You can stay here and wait for us." He clearly didn't want the thief to think he had completely won. Penelope guessed that he likely wanted to use his absence to keep the thief from throwing them off course or look for any information that would help support his argument against Crow.

Penelope was glad to hear that he had slept well, especially after knowing he had had trouble the night before. She rolled her eyes at him as he teased her and gave a small smile. "Well, thank you." she chuckled. As he nuzzled her, she blinked in surprise and gave a soft laugh. "I'm glad you were able to make the most out of airheadedness then." she joked and pressed an affectionate kiss to his cheek. Looking at him,, the knight's amused gaze softened, feeling a burst of fondness for the thief as well as longing for the future. Since they were resting in a peasant home, she could easily picture that their mornings after the war would look somewhat similar to this one.

However, reality stepped in again as she heard someone enter the room and clear their throat. Penelope turned her head to see Gavin standing at the entrance with an uncomfortable look as he tried to keep from looking directly at them. "Oh good.. You two are already up." he mumbled. Crossing his arms he turned to step back out of the room. "Breakfast is ready so let's eat quick and then get moving again."

Penelope let out a quiet sigh and nodded. "Alright. We'll be there in a moment." she assured the male knight before he stepped out of the room. She turned back to Crow and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before beginning to move away from him to get up. "Looks like we better get moving before he cuts us off from breakfast." she muttered jokingly.

Same xD My friend sent it to me so I had to share lol
It was good! I got some new headphones and a mirror so I'm happy lol I didn't do much though mainly because I think I might also be getting sick so that's fun

What about you?

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Vaguely aware of something brushing against her face, the knight began to stir from her rather deep sleep. She hadn't even managed to open her eyes yet when she felt Crow kiss her. She smiled against his lips and kissed him back, feeling warm with affection. It was definitely a nice way to start the morning in her opinion, even though it didn't get rid of the slight headache that she was becoming more aware of as she woke up.

"Morning.. And good, although my head hurts a little now. What about you?" she asked and wrapped her arm around him. Holding him close, she nestled her head against him and closed her eyes for a moment. The ache was quick to remind her of everything that had happened the night before. Though it was a bit foggy when she looked back on it, she remembered enough to feel slightly embarrassed for letting herself get so drunk, even if Olivia had played a large part in it.

Penelope frowned slightly as she also recalled that they had not gotten any further leads on tracking down the thieves. "I should have been more careful around Olivia, especially in a tavern." the knight sighed as she pulled back slightly from him to meet his gaze. Penelope blushed as she also remembered various conversations she had with Crow, from complimenting his beard to the more prominent memory of her worry about not being able to take care of a home. "Gods, sorry about yesterday."

Merry Christmas! xD

Penelope gazed at him affectionately as he assured her that she made him happy enough. It was comforting to hear, especially since she had similar feelings about him. She was happy just being with him as well. As he poked her forehead, the knight blushed a little again at his teasing words. "Alright, alright." she said with a soft laugh. Her blush deepened slightly as he mentioned helping with children as well. Even though they had already mentioned having a family, the subject still brought a bit of bashfulness out from the knight since it was so far in the future. Hearing him still including it in their plans though warmed her heart with fondness for the thief.

She met his lips with equal passion, pressing closer to him as they kissed. The knight might not have had a clue about how to take care of a home but knowing that she wouldn't have to do it alone eased all the worries that she did have. So long as they worked together, Penelope was certain they could make any situation they faced work. She pulled away from him as she heard a whistle and turned her head to see Olivia smirking at them.

At her comment, the knight gave a small snort and nodded her head in agreement with Crow. She gave his hand a small squeeze and followed him over to the bedroll he had laid out. She stretched her back out and then moved to slowly lay down besides him. Penelope smiled to herself as he wrapped his arm around her, still excited that they were able to fall asleep together again. "I know. I can't either." she mumbled softly in agreement. "Hopefully that day will come soon enough.. Goodnight, Crow. I love you."

Turning slightly, she pressed a kiss to his cheek before laying her head down and closing her eyes. Tired from the long day and cozy laying in his arms, the knight didn't have much trouble falling into a deep sleep.
