Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Penelope shifted her gaze away from Crow as he greeted her, instead looking to see her and Cedric's food arriving. As they placed it down, the knight stared a bit absently at it. She was far from hungry after hearing what had happened from Cedric. The knight was just beginning to poke at it when Crow turned back to her. The way he acted caught the knight off guard. Penelope turned her head to look over at him, staring at him for a brief moment. Why was he acting like nothing had happened?

Is he just trying to hide it from me? The thought passed through her mind, causing for a frown to tug at the corner of her lips. With Crow's history, she wouldn't put it passed him. He had played off secrets before after all. Even though the knight had forgiven him for them, the memories were still there and hard to ignore. She recalled how he had been with Rikki for a moment. When the female thief had nearly conned him into sleeping with her, he had been rather upset. At least then she had been able to tell something was off with him. However, as he sat besides her now with a rather calm demeanor, it gave the knight another heartbreaking thought. Does he not regret it?

Realizing she had yet to answer him, she blinked and shifted her gaze away once more, feeling overwhelmed by her emotions. "It was fine.." she mumbled, her voice growing slightly weaker. "We got everything done."

Cedric studied the knight for a moment before giving a small smile. "That's good. Progress for the party right?"

Penelope gave a quiet mutter of agreement and shifted her food around for a moment. "The Lenzs want to host it in a week. So at least that date is somewhat set." she said, looking to Cedric now, finding it a bit easier to speak to him than looking to Crow at the moment. She wanted to leave but knowing she'd look suspicious for getting so upset, she forced herself to remain seated and forced down a small bite of food as she let herself fall into a tense silence.

Cedric's such a dick xD

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

The two knights talked casually for a short time until Penelope's gaze glanced past Cedric as she spotted Crow enter the Great Hall. The two were sitting at a table towards the back of the room and not wanting to miss him, she waved to catch his gaze. While she knew he wasn't fond of Cedric, she hoped that the viceroy would still join them. Of all people, she was eager to tell him most about the letters and the progress that was being made to stop the war. In her eagerness, she didn't even think twice about gesturing for him to join them.

Naturally the gesture didn't go unnoticed by Cedric. The male knight looked over his shoulder to see whom she was beckoning over. As his gaze landed on Crow, an unreadable glint entered his gaze and he turned back to Penelope with a smile. "Oh seeing him reminds me that I owe him an apology. Seems like I was completely wrong about him and the princess." he chuckled.

At his words, Penelope raised an eyebrow. The male knight had seemed so certain of the two being together before that she was surprised that he didn't seem to hold any suspicion about it now. It made her wonder if he had learned something... Or perhaps I was a bit too eager.. she cringed at the thought. A flash of worry sparked through the knight as she wondered if perhaps she hadn't been keeping enough distance from Crow as she should have been. "O-oh really? Why the sudden change of mind?" she asked him, shifting slightly as she awaited his answer.

"Oh.. Right you were gone this morning." Cedric mused. He did a quick glance towards Crow before leaning closer to Penelope and lowering his voice. "Seems he slept with some noblewoman last night. One of the guards saw her leaving his room with nothing but a bed sheet to cover herself in the middle of the night." The male knight leaned back once again and gave his shoulders a shrug. "Certainly not the most chivalrous way to part ways but that's all everyone's been talking about today."

Penelope stared at Cedric as she took in what he had just told her. Her initial reaction was to scoff in disbelief but she didn't get the chance to as her thoughts immediately went to Elizabeth. The female knight quickly lowered her gaze, hoping to hide the way her face paled with realization. If what Cedric had heard was true, the knight didn't doubt for a minute that it had been Elizabeth that the guards had seen leaving Crow's room. Just the thought of it made her feel nauseous. She didn't want to believe it but why else would such a rumor suddenly start? Hurt by the thought, she felt her throat beginning to grow tight with emotion.

Her gaze flickered to Crow again and she quickly looked away from him, suddenly unsure how to act in his presence. With Cedric there and her emotions swirling at the potential betrayal, the knight would be forced into acting normal for the sake of keeping the male knight in the dark about her relationship with the viceroy. With that in mind, she tried to take a stabilizing breath and looked over at Crow again, forcing a smile. "Hey." she greeted in a quiet voice, worried her voice would crack if she spoke any louder.

Off We Go [Buzzingbee & EldarionI]

Cool! I have to go to work now but I can get started on starter once I get home c:

Off We Go [Buzzingbee & EldarionI]

Ok that sounds good to me. If it's at Akiva's village maybe that's why they're shapeshifters too. The object gives them quite a bit of power (I imagine shapeshifting to be a rather advanced move) so when it gets taken away her powers weaken so much that she can barely perform basic spells since she's not used to not having the added boost of the object.

I'm excited haha

Off We Go [Buzzingbee & EldarionI]

Sounds good! I like that. Maybe there's even legends saying it was used by whatever gods the people protecting it believe to create the land but it got into the hands of evil before and nearly destroyed the world so they hid it away for many centuries, until now of course ;)

Off We Go [Buzzingbee & EldarionI]

Great :D So should the thing that sending out the dreams be like the sorta guardian of the object? Also any ideas as to what the object is and what it can do??

Off We Go [Buzzingbee & EldarionI]

I like it! Maybe the meeting place could be where the attack took place so they all see the destruction that this unknown enemy caused?
