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 looked at Crow as he reassured her that she'd be able to convince his father. She wished she could share his confidence. Even though she had been able to piece together a decent argument, she worried that it wouldn't be enough and knowing there was a great amount at stake certainly didn't help ease her nerves. The knight wished she could just be upfront with the king about being visited by the god but unfortunately, she was rather certain if she did that that he'd think she had gone mad.
She closed her eyes as Crow tenderly kissed her. The knight let out a soft sigh and sunk into his touch a bit more. As he pulled back and moved to stand up, Penelope gave a small nod and took his hand to stand up. "You're probably right." she mused softly in agreement as she moved to stand next to him. The knight gave him a small, appreciative smile and leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek. She was thankful to have him by her side to keep her from letting her nerves get the best of her.
The took a step towards the door and looked over at Crow. "I have to ask, what do you think of your father so far?" she asked with a hint of curiosity. His anger towards him seemed to have died down a little after meeting with him but her own father's dislike and distrust of the king kept her a bit wary. She wanted to get a second opinion of the man she would soon meet directly rather than just passing by or hearing about him through others.
"My father was warning me about dealing with him this morning... I'm not too concerned about that part since I've spoke with kings before but.. I was just wondering what you thought of him too." she explained with a small shrug as she paused by the door.

Penelope didn't like the physician very much either xD
Penelope looked over curiously at Eldon as he explained he was there to look over Crow. She watched the head physician as he began to look over Crow. She wrinkled her nose in slight annoyance at his comment about Crow's scars. As someone who had scars as well, she found it quite rude of him to make such a remark. Not everyone could be a skilled healer after all and surviving your injuries alone tended to be the more important part in her opinion.
Her gaze shifted over to Hunter as the attendant squeaked at the sight of Crow's injury. For a moment, she didn't understand what was so upsetting to him but soon realized that he probably wasn't used to seeing such nasty wounds. The knight looked back over to Crow, her gaze drifting towards his wound. It's a good thing he didn't have to see it when it was fresh... Or when it happened. she thought, shuddering at the memory of seeing Crow run through with a sword. Even though he was healing fine now, the thought of it still caused the knight to feel a little fearful over how close she had gotten to losing him.
She leaned back in her chair and watched as Eldon went on to check out Crow. Penelope tensed slightly as he caused the thief to cough and noticed her father glance in her direction as the head physician caught the blood that came with it. Looking over at John, she merely gave a subtle shrug before looking away again, hoping that her father wouldn't ask too much about the illness that Crow clearly had. Once the physician and attendant left, she relaxed a little once more and looked over at Crow as he moved to sat down besides her.
Penelope moved to wrap an arm around him as she felt him lean into her side. "He certainly seemed quite arrogant." she mused with a soft sigh. "But at least he did his job efficiently."
John gave a small mutter of agreement before rising up to his feet. "I have a few other matters to attend to. I'll be around if either of you need me." he informed them before stepping towards the door. He paused and glanced back over his shoulder at Penelope. "Good luck with the king.. I'm sure you'll do fine." he gave her a small nod before turning and stepping out of the room.
Penelope watched her father leave before shifting closer to Crow. "Gods I hope he's right about that." she muttered as she leaned her head against the thief. She knew she'd have to leave soon as well to go to her meeting with the king but before that, she wanted to spend a bit more time with Crow, seeking comfort in his company as her anxiousness began to build up as the time drew closer. The knight frowned as she thought about the warning the gods had given them and how it wasn't the first time. "I don't want to fail again.." she added in a softer voice.

Penelope's really starting to feel the pressure about speaking to Albin xD
Penelope gave a small nod to her father's words as he finished explaining to them about the current setup. She was grateful that her father had managed to work her into being one of Crow's guards. It would certainly make hanging around him much less suspicious and if they ran into William again—which she had a feeling they would—it would provide them with a decent cover. William could suspect them all he wanted but without any sound proof, he wouldn't act recklessly and say something about their involvement with each other.
She snuck a glance over at her father. He had likely taken that into consideration too after hearing from William. It struck her that he was probably familiar with having to sneak around. Now that she thought about it, him and her mother likely had to go through similar challenges with keeping their relationship a secret. Though, perhaps not quite to the same degree as her and Crow due to his criminal record.
Her thoughts were broken as another knock came from the door. She sat up a bit straighter and shifted slightly away from Crow. The next moment, the door opened and in stepped Hunter followed by someone else. She watched as he averted his gaze almost as soon as he noticed her father had joined them. John didn't seem to think much of it though and merely watched the attendant as he waited for whatever news he had brought. As he turned to address her, the knight felt her heart being to beat anxiously again at the thought of—not only facing the king—but the consequences that the gods warned her about if she failed.
Coming back to herself a bit, she casted Hunter a polite smile. "I see. Thank you, Hunter." she said gratefully. Her gaze shifted to rest on the other man that had came with him, curious as to what other business he clearly must have come for since she doubted he was just looking for her.
John had also been studying the second man and then looked back to Hunter, focusing his gaze on the attendant. "Did you need something else with one of us?" he asked.

John lowkey set him up with more special treatment xD
Penelope smiled and wrapped her arms around him to return his embrace. She intertwined her fingers with his as he took her hand and gave a small nod. "No kidding.. He found your weak spot that's for sure." the knight said with a small chuckle. As he offered for them to join him, she gave a small nod, smiling at his playful words. "Well, I can't say no to that." she mused.
"I'll pass for now." John shook his head. Penelope glanced over at her father before turning to step over to the table to with Crow. She wasn't sure why John didn't want to join them since she was rather sure he had yet to eat breakfast yet. Perhaps it still had to do with a matter of his pride and Crow being a thief,though he didn't seem bitter when he spoke. Either way she didn't question it and sat down besides Crow.
"Anyways, while you two eat, I better go over a few things you need to know while we're staying here." John went on taking a step to sit down in the other empty chair. "For now, you're the king's guest, which means you're free to wander the castle... Aside from a couple rooms that are outbounds of course. The guards have been alerted to this. They're not supposed to do anything more than watch you, provided you don't cause any trouble of course."
His gaze shifted over to Penelope for a brief moment before looking back to Crow. "That being said, Penelope and I will be your guards until a decision is reached. The king has made his intentions clear enough so it's more so for your own protection rather than restriction."
"Tybalt didn't insist on other guards taking over?" Penelope asked curiously after swallowing a bite of her food.
"He did but I denied him and told him to take it up the king himself if he had that big of an issue with it." John explained with a shrug. "The king's trying to win him over while still trying to keep their relation a secret. He knows I won't say or do anything against that. And I'm sure he won't have much issue with me involving you in this, seeing as how you came here with us." John paused for a moment and then looked back over at Crow. "So, if Penelope is busy and you need assistance at some point, come find me."

True xD
The next morning, Penelope shifted comfortably in her bed as she began to stir. The knight sighed, feeling reluctant to get up as she was quite comfortable. She was also reluctant because of the anxiousness she felt about facing the king. Meeting Toreus was still fresh in her mind and his words of warning rang through her head as she thought about what she was going to say. If she had just chosen to meet with the king on her own terms, perhaps it would have been quite as nerve wracking but since this was a request made by a god, the weight on her shoulders felt quite heavy.
"I hope you're not planning to stay in bed all day." John mumbled from across the room as he stood up from his own bed.
She sighed and slowly pushed herself to sit up. "No.. I was just thinking.." she replied as she reluctantly moved to get up.
John studied her for a moment. "About telling the king to back out of the war?" he asked. She nodded silently and John crossed his arms over his chest. "The gods are on your side. I'm sure it will go fine."
"They might be on my side but that doesn't mean they're going to help." Penelope pointed out. She shifted a bit uneasily and looked over at her father. "You've dealt with him quite a bit, right? Do you have any tips about how I could convince him?"
"Unfortunately I have." John grumbled then shrugged his shoulder. "My tip would be to target what he cares about... Which is money and power from what I know. Surely the war is costing him quite a bit after all so go after that and keep confident." Her father paused and gave her a stern look. "And be careful around him, Penelope... I don't think he has anything to gain from you aside from a normal status report but I'd still advise never letting your guard down around him. That man is a viper."
She met her father's gaze and gave a small, feeling a bit unsettled by his words of warning. She knew her father had never been particularly fond of Albin but he was getting a bit more vocal about it than she was used to. Perhaps it was because of being reminded of Albin's past or because of her involvement with his estranged son. Regardless, the knight figured it was likely best to keep her father's words in mind when it came to speaking with the man.
Once they were both ready, John lead the way through the castle back up to the viceroy's room where Crow was staying. It seem he intended to go over a bit of information with both of them about their stay in the castle and since Penelope would likely be leaving at some point to speak with the king, he wanted to get over with quickly. He knocked on the door and then stepped inside. The older knight's gaze fell on Crow and his small feast. "Morning." he muttered as he stepped into the room.
Penelope walked in after him and closed the door behind her. As she turned to look at Crow, she smirked noticing the king had arranged for another big spread. "Morning. I see the king is still making sure you're 'well fed'."
"I hope you're not planning to stay in bed all day." John mumbled from across the room as he stood up from his own bed.
