Ok it's late but I just had this idea and I didn't want to forget it cx because I was thinking about where the story is headed and such. I planned for Penelope's pep talk with Kip to be sort of an eye opener for herself and how she deals with her feelings for Crow.
So what if when they part before the two year skip they actually had plans to meet up after Penelope delivered the staff, because she would want to make sure her family was safe before running off to work out something with Crow.
But because of the mercenary attack, she never meets up with him because she was still recovering at the time and wasn't able to prevent the war.
Cool :D Sorry my last post was a little rushed since I wanted to finish before I had to go to work today xc Luckily I only work until 2 so I'll have most of today and tonorrow free
Sorry, my mom called and it was a really long conversation ^^; My little brother is getting married, but he's a high school drop out with no career, so it's causing a lot of drama in the family
