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 watched as Crow examined the shelves. It was quite an impressive collection of wine after all. Though, she supposed that it had to be considering how often the nobles drank it around there, especially during banquets and balls. As the thief smirked mischievously, she gave a small chuckle and shook her head. "Maybe not... But from what I know, the servants do keep track of inventory so I wouldn't recommend taking anything while you're stuck at the castle. If they do know something's missing, I'm sure they'll figure out who it was that took it right away." she pointed out with an amused look.
"Plus I don't think it's a good idea for you to draw that kind of attention to yourself right now." she added with a little bit more seriousness. Though she normally wouldn't have cared if Crow took stole a bottle or two, he couldn't exactly risk drawing attention to himself right now. His father might have been kind to him but there was always a chance that that kindness would run out, especially if Crow began stealing during his stay in the castle.
The knight offered him a small smile. "Maybe some other time... When you're not the king's guest." she said with a small chuckle. "Come on, let's go. I have a couple other spots I want to show you before its time for supper." Penelope turned and began to lead the way out of the room, stepping back out into the corridor and glancing over her shoulder to make sure the thief was following her. Once they were both out of the room, she turned and lead the way towards the stairs to head to the lower level of the castle, intent on taking him out to the courtyard. She looked over her shoulder at him and smiled. "It'd take me a whole day to show you around the whole castle so I'm skipping ahead a bit to some of my favorite parts."

Nice xD
Penelope crossed her arms as she watch Crow react to seeing the great hall for the first time. His awe at the sight of it made her smile. She never thought much of the great hall anymore—perhaps because she had just grown used to it with time—but seeing him quite surprised by it made her feel a familiar twinge of admiration for the amount of detail that had gone into making the hall. She gave a small nod of agreement at his words as her gaze swept over the familiar room.
As he turned to her again, her smile widened a bit, encouraged by the eagerness her showed, and nodded her head. "I figured I should start strong." she explained with a small chuckle. "The next room isn't lavish like this one though. Actually I don't think much can compare to the great hall except, perhaps, the throne room." The knight shrugged and gestured for him to follow her. She closed the large door behind them and then moved to take the lead again.
She headed down the corridor before quickly coming to a stop at a smaller door that was to the right of the great hall. Grabbing the handle, she opened the door for him to step inside. "So this is the bottlery. They store the wines in here since it's right next to the great hall where most eat." she explained as she gestured to the shelves of jugs that lined the walls. The room was dimly lit with only a single lantern near the entrance on and no windows. It was far from having the same extravagance as the great hall since it was just a small storage room.
"I won't bother taking you to the kitchen right now since I'm assuming the staff is probably getting busy with preparing supper right now but it's the room to the right." she told him with a small shrug. The knight smirked. "I figure witht he way the king is feeding you, you don't have to worry too much about finding out where the food is."

I feel like it'll eventually backfire once he sees how much she likes it there xD
I really can't wait for her to be shocked when he doesn't choose to leave lol

Penelope looked over at Crow as he chuckled. The knight smirked in amusement at his words. "Of course not. I don't think any knight in their right mind would expect to be showing a thief around the castle." she said with a small laugh. Shifting to subtly walk a little closer to him, she swept her gaze over the corridor before looking back over at him. "But then again, there are a lot of things that I have done with said thief that I'd never thought I do either." she added in a lowered voice.
The knight smiled at him fondly before turning to look back ahead as she lead the way to the great hall. "Honestly, I'm glad I get to show you around a bit. It's not quite exactly the place I wanted to take you around but I've spent a lot of time in this castle so I know where most everything is." she gave a small shrug. Penelope paused in her words as they passed by another guard. She gave a small dip of her head to him as their gazes briefly met before focusing back ahead. Once the other knight had passed, she added quietly, "Maybe we'll have a chance to swing through Bellmare once everything is settled."
She really wanted to show Crow around her hometown, especially since she doubted she would have another chance to after their stay in the castle. Besides that, she also wanted to stop by her actual home. If Crow was going to choose to return to the outer villages, she wanted to take this opportunity to grab the plans she had already began working on for relief to the outer villages. Originally, Penelope figured that she could just rewrite the little that she had developed so far to give to Gavin while they were at the battlefront. But if she was successful and ended the war soon, it would be more sensible to take the chance to just give him the journal she had been using for plans.
As they headed down the staircase and through another corridor, two large,grand doors soon came into view. She picked up her pace slightly and moved to pull open one of the doors. "Here's the great hall." she announced to him with a smile as she stood back to let him enter first. Since it was still well before supper, she figured the hall would be fairly empty, which was likely a good thing considering she doubted Crow's visit there would be well received by other nobles.

Ironically being able to show him around helped her stop feeling it xD
Penelope nodded as he voiced his approval of her idea. She was glad to hear someone else agree. With everything up in the air and a lot on the line, she wanted to do as much as she could to end the war. Mia would likely agree with her but the other two barons would be a bit more difficult to convince. As she felt Crow pull away from her, she looked up at him as he took her hand. She noticed the halfheartness in his smile but his suggestion for her to show him around caught her attention more.
"Sure." She said smiling eagerly. Not only did she want to show him around the castle, but she also wanted to relax a little. Their trip to the castle had been nothing short of madness and taking some time to focus on the familiar sounded quite inviting. Besides, she had hoped that she'd get a chance to show him around at one point. "Come on.. I already have a few places in mind that I want to show you." She squeezed his hand fondly before letting go to turn and lead the way out the door.
As they stepped out into the corridor, she began to think over where to take him first. She already had one specific spot in mind but it would require going up quite a bit of stairs so she figured it probably wasn't best to begin there. Besides, it always looks best around sunset.. We'll go there last. she decided with a smile. The prospect of showing him more of the world she knew was exciting to the knight, even if the castle was more so just a place she worked at rather than her hometown. If she was lucky, perhaps they could steal some time away after he made his choice to show him around Bellmare.
"We'll start with the Great Hall." she told him as she began to lead the way down the corridor. "It's not that special really but I want to show you the minstrel's gallery. The amount of instruments and other things they have there is impressive."

It really has xD
Penelope gave a small sigh as Naida was rather eager to have Crow stay. She also seemed rather certain that he'd choose to as well. The princess seemed rather excited so the knight didn't bother to try and voice the doubts she had about him sticking around. It also brought a small feeling of melancholy as she thought about how she'd also eventually be leaving her friend behind as well. Naida would likely be rather disappointed that her brother wouldn't stick around and losing a friend—however long after that—would only bring the normally upbeat girl down.
She snapped out of her thoughts as Naida addressed her. Penelope smiled at her words and gave a small nod. She would have replied in agreement but Naida was already out the door before she could even begin to get a word out. The knight gave a small chuckle and turned to Crow. "So I've heard." she grinned, wrapping her arms around him. She knew of Naida's siblings but had never really spoke with them before. She had seen Braden once or twice when he had come to speak to his sister on occasion and Willow often didn't visit with the knights.
Leaning in, she met his lips as he kissed her and as he pulled back to ask her about her meeting with the king, her smile faded slightly. "It didn't go bad but.." she paused for a moment and let out a small sigh. "He didn't agree to end it yet. He said he'd consider it so I guess he just wants to think about it more." The knight shrugged and pressed a little closer to him. "I guess I won't find out if I succeeded or not yet... I'm even thinking about writing to barons to try to get their support on this."
She paused and shifted a bit. "Even if we aren't here for very long, I figure a letter from the barons would help. If I can get them to agree with me on this of course."
