Penelope closed her eyes as he kissed her passionately. When he finally pulled back, she caught his mischievous look right before he rolled them over so she was on top now. She gave a soft chuckle and smiled down at him. At his challenging words, her smile turned into a smirk. "Will do." she grinned with a playful wink in return. She leaned down and began to press a series of kisses along his jawline, enjoying their closeness for a moment longer before she eventually met him and they began to move as one...

The knight rested her forehead against his as she tried to catch her breath. After going nearly a month without being intimate with him, she had been rather energetic despite having traveled all day. All in all, it was worth the satisfaction that had come with it. Penelope shot him a dazed smile before she moved off of him and laid down in the grass besides him. She let out a long exhale and closed her eyes for a moment. "Well... I hope that makes up for lost time." she mused as she turned her head to shoot him a grin.

Her grin faded a bit as she glanced up towards the sky. "Speaking of time, we probably shouldn't stick around out here for too much longer.." she mumbled before lazily reaching for her clothing.

Penelope rolled her eyes playfully at his bawdy suggestion. She was glad that he seemed confident that his injury wouldn't bother him too much though and didn't hesitate to meet his lips halfway as he leaned in to kiss her again. As he removed her shirt, she shuddered at the feeling of his fingers trailing up her sides. His touch sent her heart racing excitedly. Since they hadn't had much time alone—from her finding out about him working with Jaxon to him being bedridden in her camp—it made her all the more eager to get intimate with him.

She let him remove the clothing and paused for a moment as he removed his own tunic. Once he had, she pressed back into him and met his lips eagerly as he kissed her again. As he shifted away from her lips, she let out a serene sigh. "I did too." she murmured, trailing one hand over his back as she held him close to herself. Penelope smiled softly at his words, feeling a swell of affection. The knight shifted to let him remove her pants, kicking them off to the side before pressing a tender kiss to his cheek.

Pulling back, she flashed him a playful smirk and pressed another deep kiss to his lips as she carefully dragged him to the ground with her. The knight was still trying to be mindful of his injury amidst her passion for him. Now laying on her back, she pulled back from him and laid her head back in the grass for a brief moment as she looked up at him. She felt a burst of affection for the thief and brush back a small strand of hair from his face as she gazed up at him lovingly. "Gods, I'll never understand how I got so lucky meeting you." she said with a warm smile.

She leaned up again and began to press a trail of soft kisses down his neck. "If I remember correctly, I think I still owe you for last time.." she said breathily against his skin. She began to run her hands slowly down his sides, coming to a stop at the hem of his pants. Penelope smirked against his skin. "I don't mind taking over if you want.."

Penelope's going to think the god is pissed at them when he shows up XD

Penelope gave an amused look at his words and nodded her head in agreement with his words. She followed after him as they neared the pond, feeling a bit of excitement build up in her. She hadn't seen the pond ever since their trip there two years ago. It made her curious to see if it was anything like she had remembered it to be. It wasn't long before the water came into view and her wonder was quickly put to rest.

The stars reflected brightly in the water—perhaps even more so than she remembered—making the surface look more like a mirror than a pond. The knight smiled softly as she felt Crow wrap his arms around her. She watched the stars twinkle faintly in the water as Crow rested his head against hers. Visiting this place made her think of how far they had come since their first meeting and how much they had been through to get there. Her heart swelled and she turned to meet him with equal passion as he kissed her.

As he pulled back, the knight smiled endearingly at him. "I love you too, Collin.." she murmured softly. She shifted to turn to face him, wrapping her arms around him as she did so. At his next suggestion, she gave a soft giggle. "I don't think we've ever had the gods' favor so I don't see the harm in it." she mused with a coy smirk. She leaned in and pressed another kiss to his lips before pulling back.

Her gaze drifted towards the spot on his abdomen where he had had been run through with the sword. While she craved to be intimate with him, she also didn't want his injury acting up. She knew it had healed quite a bit but it still wasn't fully healed. Even if she was a bit eager to be with him again after nearly a month, his health was far more important. The knight hesitated for a brief moment and met his gaze with a small hint of concern. "Do you think your wound has healed enough for that though?"

Me too cx

Penelope followed Crow as he lead the way out of the room. She tried to move as quietly as she could and luckily that seemed to be enough as they were able to slip out of the room. The knight smiled to herself and remained quiet as they exited the inn. Once they were outside, she swept her gaze over the village with a hint of caution. Though they were away from her father, they still had to be cautious about running into any of the local guards. The last thing they needed was either of them being recognized and word of them together getting around.

Luckily the area seemed clear and quiet so she relaxed a little. As Crow turned to her, she smirked at his words. "Of course I remember." she mused, thinking back on their first visit to Sarton two years ago. "Feeling a little nostalgic huh?" Penelope looked up at him affectionately and let out a peaceful sigh. "It is strange to think about how much has changed since then... I wasn't even calling you by your name until we visited this place."

It brought a hint of amusement to her eyes now as she thought about how much her view of him had changed since then. It had been the first time in this village that she had stopped calling him 'thief' and finally addressed him as Crow. She could even recall the exact spot they had went to before.. As he went on to ask her if she had figured out where he was taking them, she smiled up at him. "I have. The pond from before." she gave his hand a soft squeeze and shifted to walk closer to him.

Though it had been two years ago, the route was still vaguely familiar to her and she could still easily recall what the pond had looked like. Reflecting back on it, she remembered that she had snuck out of the room with Crow since she couldn't sleep. "Sneaking out late at night to get away from strict older knights has been our thing before we were even a thing." she said with a soft laugh. The knight looked up at him with a small smirk. "I just hope we don't get attacked by some rebel nobles this time."

That's good for his health xD

Penelope smiled down at him as he pulled her closer. The knight gently pushed back his hair and gave a small nod of agreement as he mentioned they likely wouldn't have much longer until they'd be able to be together without anyone in their way. Though she was reluctant to leave her battalion before the end of the war, she was at least a bit excited by the thought of being able to be with Crow. However, amongst the excitement, there was also some nervousness. Leaving her life behind so abruptly did make the knight a bit uneasy. It'd be difficult, especially since she likely wouldn't have time to prepare for it like she had originally thought she would.

As Crow stood up and kissed her, she relaxed and met his lips with equal passion. His touch eased her nerves, reminding her of the whole reason she was willing to give up her life as a noble. If it meant she could be with him for the rest of her life, it'd be worth it. The knight closed her eyes blissfully as moved away from her lips and pressed a few kisses along her jaw and neck. She wrapped her arms around him, enjoying their closeness.

When he suggested slipping away to go somewhere more private, she hesitated and glanced over towards her father. Whether they stayed or left, there was a chance of him waking up and finding them together. She supposed it'd be a bit riskier sneaking off but feeling his lips on her skin was rather persuading. As she heard her father let out a small snore, she decided him might just be in a deep enough sleep for them to sneak away. Why not make the most of the time they had? Especially since her father would be between them during the day.

"Let's go." she mumbled with an eager smile at him. She leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "As long as you can get us in and out without waking him up, I don't see why we shouldn't."
