Penelope listened to Crow as he spoke about the law. She surveyed the area once to make sure it was no one but the two of them before she decided to reply. "Don't confuse the law for one person's greed." She told him in a hushed tone. While she didn't say much, it was clear that she didn't want to be deemed as a traitor if someone should over hear them. It was ok for someone like Crow to talk about the law and the king as such but for a knight, Penelope knew that her job meant she was suppose to hold her tongue and remain loyal.

She turned her head to look over at Crow and she smiled a little in amusement as he talked about how stealing was his way of making a difference, even if it was a small one. "This is going to sound strange but you sound like my father when you say that." She told him with a small laugh. She focused her gaze back ahead as they walked, her mind drifting to her family. "He won't say it or even acknowledge it in a conversation but I know he's not pleased with the state of the outer villages. He's a skilled knight, yet he chooses to work out here rather than in the castle." She explained.

A proud look gleamed in her eyes. "He told me once when I was little that he did it for the people. He was able to take a commanding role with the guard down in that village and while he might not have been able to do much, my father lessens the abuse of the villagers. He tries to remind his comrades that they are still loyal citizens and often tries to buy them a day or two more when taxing comes around." Penelope said. 

The knight gave a soft sigh and looked over at Crow. "As knights, our loyalties lie with whomever holds the throne. It's just something you have to accept as part of the job. But, that doesn't mean we can't make our own choices. Even if they're just small ones." She told him. It was clear by the look in her gaze that it was something she believed passionately in. In fact, the words weren't even her own. They were her father's words when she had first decided to become a knight.
