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!

Pulling back the flap of the tent, Penelope quietly stepped inside. Even though she tried to be a bit discrete, all eyes were on her almost instantly as Mia trailed off in whatever she was discussing with the others in the room. The lieutenant offered her baroness a small smile and dipped her head. "Sorry to interrupt. I just got back." Her gaze briefly flickered over the faces in the room until stopping on one in particular.
Gavin looked over at her with thinly veiled surprise, sitting in her regular seat besides Tomas. It made the female knight feel a small sense of joy knowing that Mia had taken her advice in letting the male knight temporarily take her place. It also made the knight feel a bit awkward. She had done that with the intention of helping Gavin rise in rank so that he'd be able to do what she couldn't once the war ended and she left to be with Crow. Now that she wouldn't be leaving her noble life behind, she wouldn't be stepping down from her position. Although, perhaps she could still temporarily give her position to him if she managed to convince Mia to let her leave.
"That's quite alright, Penelope. It's good to have you back." Mia smiled.
"What took you so long to return anyways?" Edward grumbled.
"And what about the thief? Did the king hang him?" Layth quickly piped in, eying his sister for answers. "Or did he throw him in a cell to rot?"
"Things... Took a different turn than I was expecting at the castle." Penelope admitted slowly, unsure how to go about delivering the news to nobles who despised the thief.
"What do you mean by that?" Bennett questioned, raising an eyebrow at her.
Penelope glanced at him before looking back over to Edward and Layth. "The thief is neither dead nor in prison, he actua—"
"What!?" Layth snapped. His eyes narrowed at Penelope and he curled his lip. "Don't tell me that bastard slipped away from you again! Damnit you of all people should have never accompanied father to the castle."
Penelope shot a glare at her brother. "He didn't escape." she grumbled, irritated by her brother's demeaning words.
"Then what did happen?" Edward challenged.
"I'm not exactly sure but the king gave him permission to travel to the outer villages." Penelope explained shifting her weight uneasily. "And he isn't to be harmed. The king even gave him a signed letter stating so."
The room fell silent and they all stared at her in shock. Layth was the first to snap out of his shock and glared at Penelope. "That can't be right! Why in the world would the king allow that cretin to walk free?" he growled.
"This is absurd." Edward muttered in agreement as he seemed to be trying to piece together some explanation.
"I don't know but that has what he had decided... Besides the thief is suppose to return to the inner kingdom before the end of this week." Penelope explained with a shrug. "I'm sure the king will give an explanation soon enough."
"I suppose we'll just have to trust his reasoning for now then." Gavin spoke up giving her a small nod of support. Tomas gave a mumble of agreement despite looking a bit concerned by this new development. Though Edward, Bennett and Layth were clearly having a tough time accepting it, she was glad to gain the support of her friend and fellow lieutenant.
"Speaking of which," her gaze shifted over to the barons. "The thief will be returning to this camp tonight. We should make sure word gets around throughout the camp that he's a guest for now and isn't to be harmed."
"Why is he coming here if he's supposed to return to the castle?" Bennett asked crossing his arms.
"I'm curious too... Why didn't he just accompany you here? It sounds like you traveled out here with him correct?" Mia asked calmly.
"We left at the same time. But he had some business to take care of in the outer villages and I had business to take care of here so we went our separate ways." Penelope shrugged then glanced at Bennett. "He's planning to rest here before he starts his trip back to the castle tomorrow."
"Ridiculous! Why would we let a criminal who's been stealing from us just waltz into our camp?" Edward growled.
"Because the king has given him the pass to." Mia pointed out with a shrug.
"Yeah well.. As soon as he gets here, that cur better show us this letter." Edward growled.
"If he even shows up! I can't imagine he'd willingly show up or return to the castle after all his crimes. We should be getting ready to hunt that bastard down again." Layth grumbled in agreement.
"We'll see.." Penelope mumbled, not bothering to argue further with her brother. Instead, her attention focused on the next task at hand, which was the much more concerning one of getting Mia's approval for her to leave. She shifted her gaze over to her baroness and dipped her head. "I'd also like to speak with you once the meeting is over."
"Of course." Mia mused. "We're about to wrap things up anyways. Tomas, Layth, Gavin I expect you three with deliver the news that the thief is not to be touched if he comes to our camp. And if he does, he must present us with his letter." After the three gave nods of agreement, she rose up to her feet and turned to address Penelope again. "Come let's go to my tent. I feel there's much to talk about since you've been gone."

Hazel and Penelope had a nice goodbye cx
Same lol
I'm also really excited for this next part of the knights reacting to her news lol

Penelope headed out from behind the waterfall, following the narrow path. As she reached its end, she ended up running into Hazel, who was making her way back to the cavern. The herbalist took a step back to allow the knight to step off the pathway. "Leaving?" Hazel asked her, her gaze flickering towards the cavern entrance.
"Yes. But just me for now." Penelope explained with a small shrug. "By the way, congratulations."
Hazel rested a hand against her stomach before giving the knight a nod. "Thanks.." the herbalist paused and let out a small sigh. "Good luck by the way. I hope you're able to bring about change... And hope that fool doesn't screw it up for all of us."
Penelope smiled amusedly and nodded her head. "I'll keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't." the knight said with a small chuckle. Her smile softened a bit. "Goodbye for now, Hazel. And thank you for everything."
Hazel gave a small dip of her head and cracked a small smile. "Goodbye, Penelope."
The knight turned and headed off in the direction of her camp. Having said goodbye to everyone, it was finally time to return to her camp. The walk didn't take long and she was able to reach her camp a little before it was even midday. As the battalion came into view, the knight slowed her pace slightly. So much had changed within the last week it felt rather strange to her to be returning here, the one place that seemingly stayed the exact same even in her absence.
As she drew closer, one of the guards seemed to notice her and rushed over to meet her. Penelope felt a grin spread over her features as she recognized the guard to be none other than Olivia. "Hey! You're finally back!" the female knight returned her grin. "So what happened, huh?"
"It's a long story." Penelope said and shrugged her shoulders. "I'll explain it later but for now, I need to go talk to the barons." She figured it was better to wait until Gavin was around as well as Crow before she went into the story of what had happened on their trip to the inner kingdom.
"Alright... But I better get some answers before the end of the day!" Olivia smirked and then turned to lead the way back to camp. "Come on the barons are in one of their meetings right now so you came at a good time." She fell quiet for a brief moment and eyed Penelope. "Well.. Can you at least tell me where that thief of yours is? You seem pretty relaxed right now so I'm assuming he's not dead or arrested."
Penelope rolled her eyes. "He's back with his companions right now... But he'll actually be coming here tonight."
"Why would he do that after just escaping? Isn't that kinda risky?" Olivia raised an eyebrow.
"It would be... If the king wasn't the one allowing him to leave the castle or give him a note to make sure no knights would harm him." Penelope mused in a quieter tone as they entered the camp. Though she planned not to tell the whole story, she figured she could at least share the information she was going to be sharing with the rest of the knights anyways.
"What?" Olivia's eyes widened in surprise. "What the hell happened at the castle?"
"Long story that I promise you'll hear later." Penelope assured, smirking in amusement at Olivia's shocked expression. "See ya, Olivia. I've got to go speak with the barons." She gave a small wave to her friend before focusing her gaze forward on the large tent at the middle of camp. Her heart began to pound a bit anxiously in her chest as she thought about having to face Mia and convince her. She let out a breath and picked up her pace as she made her way to see the barons.
"Yes. But just me for now." Penelope explained with a small shrug. "By the way, congratulations."
Hazel rested a hand against her stomach before giving the knight a nod. "Thanks.." the herbalist paused and let out a small sigh. "Good luck by the way. I hope you're able to bring about change... And hope that fool doesn't screw it up for all of us."

Penelope turned her head to look over at Alistair as he jumped in, encouraging her to stick around. She smirked and rolled her eyes as the two began to get competitive against each other once more. As Alistair addressed her again, the knight gave a small chuckle and shrugged her shoulders. "Alright. I won't go anywhere then." she mused. She got up to her feet and stood back besides Hartley,who had eagerly gotten up from his spot to watch the competition as well.
The two watched as the men struggled against each other until finally Alistair was able to pin Crow's arm to the ground. Though he may have lost, she was glad to see that he seemed to have cheered up. The knight smiled as he turned to her again and pulled her into an embrace. Penelope wrapped her arms around him and leaned in to meet him as he kissed her. "I should. I've got quite a bit to get done."
"Wait, you're already leaving?" Hartley frowned.
Penelope looked over at the young thief and nodded her head. "I need to get back to my camp." she paused and glanced at Crow before letting him go to turn towards Hartley. This would likely be the last time she saw him. He'd soon be returning to Younis and she'd be leaving for the inner kingdom. "And I probably won't be visiting any time soon after that and you'll probably be heading back to Younis soon enough, so.. I guess this is goodbye for now."
Hartley paused and then nodded his head solemnly. "I guess so.. It was good getting to see you again, Penelope." he flashed her a smile.
"It was good to see you again too. And when you get back to Younis, be sure to tell Kip I said hello." Penelope returned his smile and exchanged a quick hug with the young thief. Stepping back her gaze drifted over to Rikki and Alistair. Though she had only spent a small amount of time with them—and most of it not being on the best of terms—she still felt like she needed to at least say goodbye to them as well, even if it might not be for as permanently as it was for Hartley.
She offered them a small smile and dipped her head. "Good bye then." The knight turned back to Crow and pressed a quick parting kiss to his lips. "I'll see you later." she mumbled with a small smile before turning to head off out of the cavern.

Penelope sorta noticed cx she didn't really know what to say though lol
Penelope settled in and began to eat her breakfast. As she took her first bite, she glanced over at Alistair as the thief wasted no time in bringing up the fight the two had talked about the day before. His enthusiasm was amusing to the knight and she smirked faintly as Rikki jumped in as well. She noticed Crow seeming to get distracted from the conversation and followed his gaze over to Hazel as she hurried out.
The knight blinked in surprise as Rikki mentioned Hazel having morning sickness. She looked over at the entrance again, feeling a bit shocked to learn that Hazel was pregnant with Simon's child. She had just found out the night before that the two had even been married. Naturally she was out of the loop of the thieves' lives, especially since Crow hadn't been living with them for nearly a month.
Her attention shifted back over to the conversation being held by the others and she glanced over at Crow as she noticed him a bit upset that he didn't know about it sooner. As it died down and the others returned to speaking amongst themselves, she looked over at Crow as he leaned his head against hers. It was easy for her to guess that his frustration about finding out about Hazel's pregnancy came from the fact that he'd be leaving them behind soon.
Though she wasn't quite sure what exact part of it was bugging him, she knew that there wasn't much she could do to change that even though she wished that she could. He had made his decision after all and some parts, such as letting people go, were bound to be difficult. Penelope placed her empty plate to the side and wrapped an arm around him. She rubbed her hand along his back for a moment.
Eventually she pulled back slightly to press a kiss to his cheek and meet his gaze. "I should probably get ready to leave soon... But before that, I suppose I should ask if I'm expected to be apart of the audience for this arm wrestling match?" she smirked and raised an eyebrow at him questioningly, trying to lighten him up again.

Makes sense c:
Penelope was grateful for Crow's one weakness of food xD

Penelope smiled fondly as Crow buried his head against her neck. Though she did believe they should be getting up, she wrapped an arm around him as pressed a kiss to her jaw. It was difficult to insist on getting up when she felt a burst of affection for the way he held her close. Luckily, she wouldn't have to. As Rikki announced that breakfast was ready, the knight smirked in amusement as his appetite took priority as usual.
She let go of him and rolled over onto her back for a moment while he talked with Rikki before sitting up as well. As Crow turned back to her, she smiled and nodded her head in agreement. "Seems like it." she mused and gave her arms a small stretch before standing up. Looking over at Crow, she smirked and offered him a hand to get up. "Guess we better go get some before Hartley gets revenge for his supper."
Once he was up as well, she turned and headed off to follow Rikki out to the main cave. The aroma of the food grew stronger as they got closer, even making her own stomach rumble as well. The knight blushed faintly at the sound and quickly focused her gaze ahead as they stepped out to join the others. It seemed most of them had already had their plates and were beginning to eat. Hartley looked up from his food and smiled at the two.
"Mornin'!" he greeted between a bite of food.
Hazel looked over and gave them a small nod of greeting. "I fixed your plates there." she told the three, gesturing to the plates of food she had prepared.
"Good morning. And thanks." Penelope smiled and moved to pick up one of the plates before moving to sit down amongst the others.
