There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Meanwhile, Gavin's going to be watching the whole thing thinking he won
Also if it carries over, Rikki probably will too

Crow spent the rest of his time before supper taking a light nap. Knowing that he was going to be shortchanged on sleep during the later part of the night, he wanted to make up for the loss as much as he could now. After all, with Gavin watching him so closely, he didn’t want to appear completely exhausted when they explored Wheldrake the next day. He hoped that by sleeping now, the lack of rest later wouldn’t be quite as detrimental to his performance.
So, when Penelope came over to tell him that supper was ready, he blinked slowly as he woke up. Letting out a yawn, he sat up and stretched his legs, looking up to meet her gaze with a weary smile, “Thanks for letting me know. I’ll be over in a minute.” Before he followed after her, he took a moment to stay behind and shake off the rest of his lingering grogginess. As he did, he glanced furtively at the others, who were already filling their plates with the contaminated food. It seemed like no one had noticed the valerian root he had tossed in with the rest of it. Good. All that was left now was to wait for the sedative to take effect.
Rising to his feet, Crow headed over to join the rest of the group by the firepit. He studied the pot of cooked food contemplatively, wondering if it would be a good idea for him to eat any of it at all. With so much to do that night, he needed to be clearheaded, and the valerian would just make him drowsy. A small bite can’t hurt, he thought, peeking at Penelope from the corner of his eye. Since she would probably be awaiting his reaction to the food she had prepared, it would be too obvious for him to refuse to eat any of it. As long as I don’t have too much, it shouldn’t be enough to affect me.
Having made up his mind, he filled up a plate with food for himself and sat down next to the knight. He had helped himself to a portion that was of comparable size to the amount he usually ate for dinner, but he only intended to consume a small amount of it. He would just have to find a way to dispose of the leftovers when she wasn’t looking.
Crow lifted a bite of mixed vegetables and chicken to his mouth, and then turned to Penelope with a smile, “You did a good job.” He pressed a swift kiss to her cheek, hoping that since he had given her a reaction early, she wouldn’t watch him as closely as he slowly worked on the rest of his plate.
“This is good,” Alistair spoke up, staring down at his food with wide eyes. He looked up at Crow and Rikki with a frown. “We steal their ingredients all the time. How come our meals never taste like this?”
Rikki glanced over at him curiously before lifting a bite of chicken to her mouth. She said nothing about it, but there was a flicker of astonishment in her gaze that gave away the fact that she was just as impressed with the food as Alistair was.
Crow watched them both with an amused smirk. “You can thank them,” he said, gesturing to Gavin and Penelope. “They did all the work.”
Alistair stared at the two knights for a moment before turning to Olivia, “Do you know how to cook like this too?”
At his question, the knight choked on her food.
Crow snorted and leaned in a bit closer to Penelope, “I bet she regrets making that big speech about how cooking is a waste of time now.”

Sweet. I'm very excited xD
Honestly, I'm not sure how Crow's going to react when Penelope confronts him (especially if she's furious enough not to let it go this time), so I can't wait to see how that plays out

Crow glanced up at Gavin as the knight interrupted his moment with Penelope. Usually, he would have felt a pang of annoyance at the other man’s intent to separate them, but since he had just been kissing her to keep her distracted from his plan, he didn’t mind it this time. The valerian root had made it into the boiling water, and it wouldn’t be much longer before the plant did its job. He had only added about half of the root, so the potent sedative wouldn’t knock them unconscious right when it was consumed, but it should have still been enough to make them sleep deeply during the night. It was only a matter of time now before he found out if it worked.
As Penelope told him that it would be a while before supper was ready and that he could rest if he wanted to, Crow nodded. “That sounds good to me,” he said, stretching lethargically and rising to his feet. He reached down to ruffle her hair in a playful manner and casted her a grin, “Let me know when it’s ready, okay, love?” With that, he ambled over to his bag and dug out his bedroll, locating a comfortably flat spot on the ground where he could lay it out for the night.
Almost as soon as he sat down to rest, he heard the sound of laughter coming from just beyond the tree line. In the next moment, Alistair and Olivia stepped into view, having finally returned to the camp. Both were grinning from ear to ear and had flushed faces, still just as oblivious of the other members of the group as they had been before. Crow rolled his eyes as he watched them settle down a bit farther away from the group, engrossed in whatever conversation they were having at the moment.
“I haven’t seen him this obsessed with a woman in a long time,” Rikki spoke up suddenly, eyeing the couple with distaste. “It’s almost too much, don’t you think?”
Crow casted her a sideways glance. “I think he’s just smitten,” he said with a shrug. “It’s a little excessive, but can you really blame him?”
“Maybe not if he was with a peasant girl,” Rikki shook her head. “But she’s a knight. He’s just setting himself up to get hurt again.” She turned towards Crow with a frown. “You can’t seriously expect that to work out, can you?”
“It doesn’t matter what they are,” Crow rolled his eyes. “If they want to make it work, they will. I’m certainly not going to judge him for it.”
“That’s because you’re doing the same thing,” Rikki pointed out blandly. “You’re both so blinded by your infatuation for beautiful women that you can’t see what a terrible decision you’re making. It’s heartbreaking, really.”
“I would tell you you’re wrong, but I already know you’re not going to listen to me,” Crow scoffed, leaning back on the palms of his hands.
“You’ll see,” Rikki shrugged carelessly. “This is all going to come back to bite you eventually. It’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong and those two realize that your worlds just don’t mix.”
Crow snorted, “You’re just full of encouraging words today, aren’t you?” She just shrugged again in response, and he laid down on his side, facing away from her to indicate that he was done with their conversation as he closed his eyes to rest until dinner.

Crow's definitely going to try to be sneaky about hiding the fact that he's not eating the food he tampered with xD
I could see that too. During the day of the interrogation, he's going to be exhausted from staying up for a good portion of the night to run around doing Jaxon's bidding. Gavin might catch onto that too.
I think the plan was for him to go alone the first time and then try to convince everyone else that something's up when he realizes Crow is working for Jaxon. When that doesn't work, he pesters Penelope to follow Crow with him a second time later on. That's when she would learn that Gavin was right all along (or so it would seem ;3)
If we want to change anything, I'm open to other ideas though. We don't have to stick to the first plan if you've got anything better

When Crow got back to the camp, he paused by the edge of the clearing to see what was going on since he had left. From what he could tell, not much had changed. Alistair and Olivia had yet to return from their little getaway, Rikki was lying on her bedroll flat on her back as she gazed dully up at the stars, and Penelope was by the firepit with Gavin, helping to prepare their dinner for the night. He hesitated for a brief moment longer before he began to make his way over to her, hooking his thumbs into his trouser pockets to keep himself from subconsciously fidgeting with the valerian he had hidden away. Though he doubted the knights would be able to tell what he was up to by restlessness alone, he didn’t want them to catch on that something was off.
He knelt down beside Penelope when he reached her at the fire pit, wrapping his arms around her in an affectionate embrace. Off to the side, he caught a glimpse of Gavin, who was casting him a disgusted look from where he was seasoning the chicken. Somehow, there almost seemed to be more hostility in his gaze than usual, although Crow couldn’t think of a reason why. Perhaps the knight was mad at him for undermining his authority more than usual during this trip? Whatever it was, it wasn’t important enough to dwell on now. He turned his attention back to Penelope.
“So, he’s got you working on the vegetables, huh?” Crow mused, casting her a fond grin. While his expression was friendly, his mind was already working on a way to slip the valerian root into their supper without alerting either of the two knights. His eyes darted briefly to the pot Gavin had set out to cook the vegetables. It was already filled with water. He bit back a smirk. In the darkness, no one would notice if he added one more plant of his own before the food was poured in.
Switching his focus back to Penelope, he pressed a kiss to her cheek, ignoring the way Gavin wrinkled his nose nearby. “I’m excited to see how this turns out,” he said, pushing back against a sudden wave of guilt he felt knowing that he was going to be tampering with her very first cooked meal. Reminding himself that it was worth it to keep her safe, he leaned in a little closer to her, holding her gaze with an alluring expression as he tried to keep her attention fixed on him. Again, he noticed Gavin watching them from the corner of his eye, and he fought the urge to shoot the knight a glare. He needed to make the other man stop looking at them, or else he wouldn’t be able to slip the valerian into the pot.
I know just how to make him do that, he thought as he recalled something that always seemed to make Gavin avert his eyes. Continuing to hold Penelope’s gaze, he reached up with one hand to gently caress her cheek. “You’re going to be an amazing wife,” he murmured with a soft smile. In the next instant, he leaned in even closer to close the distance between them with a passionate kiss. As he kissed her, he cracked one eye open to see that Gavin, as expected, was now looking elsewhere. Perfect.
Crow pressed deeper into Penelope’s lips, trailing one hand down the length of her back as he carefully reached into his pocket with the other. Locating the valerian, he gave the thin stem a quick twist between two fingers, separating the flower from the root, and then smoothly withdrew the root and dropped it into the pot of water.
Having finished what he had come to do, he finally pulled back from the kiss with a grin, as if he was lightheaded. “I never get tired of that,” he chuckled breathlessly, running his fingers through her hair.

Let's see... Jaxon wanted Crow to meet him in three days (which lines up with the current night), so I was going to have him drop by the thieves' camp to give his first report. I could see Jaxon wanting to know how the patrol ends up going, so he would tell him to meet again at the end of the trip (probably closer to Myrefall). Maybe Gavin would double back from the knights' camp once the mission is over and follow him then? Gavin is already super suspicious, but maybe something during their time in Wheldrake would tip him off a little more. For example, Crow is only going to eat a small portion of his food for supper because he knows it's laced with a sedative, so maybe Gavin could find where he dumped the rest of it and suspect that he had done something to cause them all to sleep in late the next morning? If not that, then I'm sure there could be something else to clue him in that something's off ^^
I was thinking the same thing, actually. It would be pretty devastating for the knights to go back to their camp and find it wrecked from an attack from Younis. That might also make Gavin angrier and provoke him to tail Crow the same night.

Crow nodded when Penelope said she was surprised Olivia and Alistair had even waited until they had stopped for the night to wander off together. He supposed he couldn’t blame them though. From what he knew, the two didn’t even meet up as often as he and Penelope did. They were probably ecstatic to have a few days together without parting.
I have a feeling we won’t be seeing much of them during the upcoming nights, he thought with a faint smirk as he followed Penelope over to a grassy spot. However, just as he was about to sit down, he turned to her in mild surprise when she kissed him on the cheek and announced that she wanted to help Gavin with the preparations for supper. He glanced at the other knight with a frown, disliking the idea of leaving her alone with him, but also understanding her desire to do her part to learn a new skill.
After a moment, he turned back to her and smiled softly, “Alright. If it means that much to you, then go ahead.” He leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead. Even though he wasn’t fond of the idea of her spending time with her former suitor, he trusted her not to let anything happen between them. Plus, he had another reason why her involvement in the cooking would be a good thing.
Taking a step back from her, Crow glanced out at the trees. “While you do that, I’m going to look for a place to refill my flask.” He glanced back at her with a sheepish shrug. “I finished most of my water on the way here, but I’m sure I’ll be able to find a well nearby to fill it back up.” He touched one more kiss to her lips and then crouched down to retrieve an empty flask from his bag. “I’ll be back soon. I can’t wait to try your cooking, love.” He casted her a wink and then turned to head into the surrounding woods.
He walked for a while until he felt confident that he was out of sight of the camp before he peered back over his shoulder and slowed to a stop. Casting a quick look around to make sure he was alone, he began pacing slowly around another small clearing, keeping his gaze fixed on the foliage at his feet. Come on, he thought intently, chewing on the inside of his lip. I know Hazel said it grows around here… It has to be here somewhere—There! He knelt beside a small plant that was growing near the center of the clearing. It was short with twig-like stalks that were topped with clusters of white flowers: Valerian.
Another pang of guilt struck him as he began to carefully dig the plant up by its roots. He didn’t want to drug the knights, but with Gavin intent on leaving to start the interrogation so early, he didn’t have any other choice. If he slipped enough of the valerian root into their supper, they would sleep through the morning and give his plan enough time to pay off. All he had to do now was disrupt their guard shifts during the night, and he already had an idea about how he would do that, assuming Gavin would take the first watch like he always seemed to do.
Once he had managed to meticulously pull up most of the plant’s roots, the thief stood up again and dusted himself off, shoving the valerian into his trouser pocket. He headed out of the clearing, making his way back to the outskirts of Wheldrake, where he remembered a well was located. It didn’t take long for him to fill up the flask he had brought, and when that was done, he finally turned to walk back to join the others in the camp, his heart racing with anticipation for what he was about to do upon his return.

Same cx
I'm actually kind of proud of the idea I came up with for this part, since I had to think about it for a while to come up with it xD
I'm thinking it should take a little longer before Gavin figures Crow out though, because it makes more sense for him to follow Crow after he's already got some reasonable suspicions, rather than going after him right away.
