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 met Crow halfway as he leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed their closeness. It was a firm reminder to herself that she'd be fine with whatever choice he made. Even though part of her was excited at the prospect of keeping both the life she had and Crow, she couldn't ask him to leave the outer villages for her, especially if he didn't feel like it was the right decision for him. After all, he was more important to her than her life as a noble and she wanted him to be happy. If that meant sticking to their original plan, then she was fine with that.
As he pulled back, she smiled at him and returned his embrace. "I know... And I'm sure you'll figure it out." she assured softly. The knight closed her eyes as he rested his head against hers and listened as he went on to talk about his life in the outer villages. To her, it sounded like the thief had already made his decision. Of course he wouldn't want to leave the life he knew and loved behind. Penelope held him a little tighter, trying to ignore the twinge of disappointment that she felt.
"That's good." she mumbled as he said that his father had give him time. She looked up at him as he pulled back to meet her gaze. The knight gave a small nod and pressed one last kiss to his lips before standing up. She was a bit surprised they already had a room prepared for him but then again, the king seemed to be treating him rather warmly. It made her wonder why her father suspected him to be lying. However, she didn't dwell on it and casted a glance at Crow. "I think I saw him go into a room not far from where the council room is.. He said he had something to attend to so I imagine he didn't go very far." she told as she began to step over to the door.
Just as she took a step towards it, the door opened and in stepped another knight. Penelope froze as her gaze landed on the all too familiar William, who's gaze had immediately narrowed in on Crow. So much so that he didn't even seem to register that Penelope was the knight with him at first. "So you are here." William growled. He opened his mouth to say something else but faltered as he finally looked over to the other person in the room, only to realize it was Penelope. The older knight blinked and then narrowed his gaze. "What the hell's going on here?"

Penelope definitely didn't help lol
Penelope watched her father as he warned Crow. His words made her feel a bit nervous, wondering exactly what he was talking about. Especially when he mentioned taking whatever offer the king had made him. Was it another job? The knight glanced at Crow, eager to hear what had happened between him and his father. As he gestured for her to join him, she walked over and took a seat besides him. When he still remained silent, she gave his hand a small squeeze and let him lean into her as he seemed to still be reeling from speaking with his father.
She listened as he finally spoke up and began to tell her how his father didn't bring him there to buy his silence and instead claimed that he wanted to make things right. The knight blinked, mildly surprised to hear that the king wanted to patch things up with the son he had originally turned his back on. However, that was only the tip of the iceberg. Her eyes widened as Crow explained that Albin wanted Crow to be his new ambassador. Out of all the possible things that she could have guessed that the king wanted from Crow, giving him a noble title was not one of them.
As Crow mentioned what accepting the offer could mean for them, she felt her heart begin to race with a hint of excitement at the thought. If Crow rose to nobility, she wouldn't have to leave anything behind to be with him. She could keep her job as a knight and continue with the plans she had before Crow came back into her life. And she could do all of it while having him by her side. It was something she had never thought possible so needless to say that the knight was a bit excited by the prospect of it. That's why my father must have suggested him taking the offer.. she realized with a glance towards the door. If that was the case, perhaps it was already signalling that he was prepared to allow them to be together. He had been rather tolerant of Crow as of late after all.
However, as she looked back to Crow, her excitement died down as she noticed his melancholic expression. Even though the idea sounded great to her, that'd mean he'd be force to give up his life instead. She frowned a little. Crow hated nobles and a lot of nobles hated him, but more so than that, she knew that he enjoyed his life in the outer villages amongst his friends and the other peasants. Even if that life sounded great to her, it likely didn't hold the same appeal for the thief and she didn't want to pressure him into anything that would just end up making him miserable.
"I don't know... I wasn't expecting your father to make such an offer.." she mused with a sigh. "But, I want you to make the decision that feels right for you. It's your decision to make, not mine." Penelope answered in a soft voice as she held his gaze. She leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. As she pulled back, she gave him an affectionate smile. "And besides, I love you Crow, I'm going to be with you no matter what you choose."

Makes sense lol
John tried to clear things up by basically saying his dad's still a jerk xD

Penelope shifted uneasily as a silence continued, neither Crow nor her father answering her right away. As Crow finally spoke up saying they should go somewhere more private, the knight gave a small nod of agreement. "Alright." she said then looked up at her father as he suddenly stepped forward. He glanced at the two and then gestured for them to follow him. She looked over at Crow and gave a small shrug before turning to trail after her father down the hallway. She wasn't sure where he was going to take them but she assumed John had a spot in mind. He knew the castle better than her, especially since she had quit working as a castle guard for some time now.
John led them to a small room near the staircase. It was a waiting room for visiting nobles who requested an audience with the king. It was small in side but filled with luxurious decor. A long bench with soft padding took up the center space while two chairs rest on either side. A small table was place in front of the bench, with a lantern and quill on it. Against the back wall was a couple shelves of dusty books that didn't appear to have been touched in quite some time.
Her father waited for them to enter before stepping inside after them and closing the door. He turned to them and crossed his arms. "You can stay here for now. It'll be a little while before someone comes looking for you, I'm guessing. And Penelope," his gaze focused on his daughter. "if anyone questions you about this, tell them that you've been assigned by me to keep watch on him. If they try to challenge that, direct them to me. I'll be speaking with Tybalt about this new... development."
Penelope looked at her father with a hint of confusion but nodded her head in agreement. She wasn't sure what that meant but it at least seemed that John was trying to help. It made her feel a bit of fondness for her father. After feeling so long that he was constantly fighting against her, it was nice to see him actively on her side. She supposed she owed quite a bit of thanks to her mother. "Thank you, father." she said with a grateful dip of her head.
John gave her a small nod and started to turn to leave. However. he paused and turned his head to look over at Crow. His gaze narrowed at the thief. "While we're behind closed doors, let me offer you some advice I should have told your mother the moment I met her. Don't trust your father." he stated. "He does what is convenient to him and don't think for a moment that isn't true." The older knight paused and lowered his voice slightly. "He didn't stop being young yesterday. He had plenty of time to make things right but he waited until now. Don't forget that."
He glanced at Penelope and then looked Crow with newfound sternness. "That being said, I'd highly advise taking his offer." he grumbled before abruptly turning and opening the door to head out of the room, without waiting for a reply.

Oof xD that's dangerous lol
Penelope crossed her arms over her chest and waited silently by the door. The knight shifted as time went on, wondering what was going on behind the closed doors. Her curiosity grew as time went on and she began to fidget slightly. She hoped Crow was alright. Although, judging from the lack of any yelling, she supposed he must be handling himself rather well in front of the man who had abandoned his family all those years ago.
After a short time passed, the door opened again and Penelope quickly pushed herself off the wall to stand up straight as she waited for Crow and her father to exit the room. The first who stepped out was Crow and she took a step towards him before quickly stopping herself. As much as she wanted to hurry to his side and take his hand, she couldn't do so when they were near so many nobles and the king no less. So instead the knight kept a small distance between them and shifted with uncertainty as looked over at him.
His expression threw her off a bit. Penelope had been expecting the thief to look more upset after speaking to his father but instead, he looked more dazed than anything. Exactly what did they talk about in there? she wondered, frowning faintly. In the next moment, her father stepped out behind Crow. Though he wore his usual stoic expression, she detected a small hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Glancing between them she shifted a bit closer. "So... How did it go?" she asked tentatively.

Nice xD
Penelope tried to eavesdrop but it didn't work out lol

As they reached the council room, Penelope took in a deep breath. Crow was about to face his father and she was feeling a bit anxious for him. Along with that, she had her other worry of trying to figure out when and how to bring up ending the war to the king. She took a small step forward to head into the room but didn't get far as the attendant addressed her and her father. The two exchanged a silent glance before moving to take a small step back. The knight looked over at Crow as he argued for them to join him.
She felt a small glimmer of hope that he'd be able to convince them to let her accompany him into the room. However, that hope was quickly shattered as the king suddenly appeared. Penelope tensed a bit as Albin stepped out of the council room and addressed Crow. She had crossed paths with him a couple times after working in the castle for so long but she had never truly held a conversation with the man, especially after learning about his history with Crow's mother. Between that and her own father's poor opinion of him, it was needless to say that she kept her distance for good reason.
As she noticed his gaze land on her for a brief moment, she gave a quick bow. Regardless of how she viewed him, he was the king and she would need to remain on his good side if she was to fulfill her duty of convincing him to end the war peacefully. Penelope glanced towards her father as Albin included him in the meeting. The two exchanged a quick glance and John gave her a subtle nod before he entered the chamber. She was a bit surprised to see him trying to reassure her about this development. It made her feel a little more relaxed knowing that her father intended to lookout for Crow while she'd be forced to wait outside.
She caught Crow's gaze and offered him a faint smile before the doors were shut on her and the attendant. The knight let out a small sigh and moved to lean on the wall by the door. The attendant shifted uncomfortably and then looked over at Penelope. "Are you planning to stay long? It might be a good time to speak with Tybalt about sleeping arrangements for you and your father." he suggested.
"I'm not sure. I'll worry about that after." Penelope responded with a shake of her head. She didn't want to move until Crow came out of the room. Even if she wasn't able to go inside with him, she wanted to stay close by and wanted to be there as soon as it was over. "I'd like to wait for my father."
"I see.." the attendant gave a small nod and let out a sigh. "I suppose I'll leave you here then. I have other matters to attend to while his majesty is busy. Good day." He dipped his head and moved to head off down the hallway. A silence fell over as Penelope was now by herself. She closed her eyes and strained to try and listen for any conversation that was happening behind the closed doors. While she made out some voices, she couldn't decipher what they were saying. After a moment, she gave up and let out a long sigh. It seemed she'd just have to wait and hear how the meeting had gone once they were done.
