Penelope nodded her head to Otto as the baron gave her directions to where the room was located. The knight proceeded to step away from the group and head off alone to the front of the inn. Once outside, she was greeted by a small gust of cold air. With it growing late in the day, she could tell that the temperature was dropping steadily. It certainly seemed to be more brisk out since they had first entered the inn. The weather didn’t bother her much though. Between the armor she wore and her clothing underneath, the only parts of her that the cold bothered were her face and hands. She couldn’t do much about her face but wanting to keep warm, she crossed her arms over her chest to bury her hands. 

The knight moved to lean against the building while she waited for Crow. She knew he wouldn’t be able to slip away immediately after her so she focused her attention elsewhere. Namely on scanning over the village around her. Despite that it was her own idea to sneak away from the others, Penelope still remained cautious about the looming threat of mercenaries. She didn’t plan for them to stay out for long but that didn’t mean they weren’t susceptible to attack. It was the main reason the knight had chosen to leave the group early so that she wouldn’t seem strange for remaining in her armor and having her sword at her side.

Taking in the village of Wellspring, Penelope didn’t find anything out of the ordinary though. The streets were growing quiet as the day grew later and most people that were out congregated near the local tavern, either waiting for others or merely trying to sober up a little before they made their way home for the night. Nearby shadows casted by the buildings were clear of activity, aside from perhaps a stray creature or two.  Overall it seemed peaceful enough so she relaxed a little. 

It wasn’t much longer before she heard the inn door open once more and she turned her head to see Crow stepping out, a smile crossing over her lips on it’s own accord. She pushed herself off of the building and moved over to meet him. “I’m guessing you got away without too much trouble?” she asked, her smile turning into a soft smirk. “Not that Otto stood a chance with our expertise in sneaking off like this.” she added with a playful wink.
