Penelope crouched down besides the thief as they looked out at the camp. Her gaze wandered over to her still chained comrades. She glanced over at Crow as he explained his plan. She smirked and caught the keys beofre handing him the stick for the fire. "Sounds good to me." she said beginning to move away from the bushes they hid behind.
The knight paused and glanced over at him. "Try not to be a complete idiot and get caught though. And if you need any help or anything, signal me somehow. I know you say you'll meet us on the way back to the village but I'll try to keep back just for safety reasons." she stated crossing her arms in a stubborn manner. "We still need you for the mission after all." That and the knight was a bit concerned for his safety. Perhaps it was because of the times he had helped her. Though, it was more likely because she was coming to care for him. As a friend or comrade, Penelope couldn't quite say.
With that said, she then turned and began to head off in the direction of where William and Abrxas were being kept. She remained low and along the tree line as she moved into position. The knight was careful not to make too much noise, not wanting the guards to detect her. Once she was in the right spot, she crouched down and clenched the keys in her hand, waiting.

Penelope raised an eyebrow at him as he mentioned having an idea. The knight shrugged it off and turned to follow him. She paused and watched as he took the dagger out of his boot and cut open the back of the tent. At such a time as this, she was glad she had choosen to let the thief keep the blade. Things wouldn't have gone nearly as smooth without it.
Once he signaled for her to follow, Penelope quickly slipped out through the back of the tent. It seemed that the guard wasn't listening as carefully as he should have been. Which was good news for them. Her eyes quickly scanned over their surroundings before she picked up her pace and followed him to the tree line of the forest. She felt the need to keep slightly ducked down and was continuously eyeing their surroundings.
"Alright." She mumbled giving a small nod before heading off in a different direction as she searched for a dry piece of wood. Most of what she found either wasn't very dry or was simply too short to be of proper use. The knight flashed a look of frustration as she looked hurriedly for a suitable piece of wood. Finally she came upon a stick that would work rather nicely for their current situation and quickly headed back to meet up with Crow. She soon saw that he was already there and waiting for her as reached their meeting spot. "Ok, so what's the plan from here?" she asked.

Penelope headed into the tent and then turned around to face Crow as he came in after her. Seeing the keys and his grin made her smirk a bit in amusement. It seemed things were moving along quite easily thanks to the thief's acting. "Well... It seems we need a distraction." the knight mumbled giving a thoughtful look. She crossed her arms and glanced around the tent. Of course, there was nothing of use. It was rather empty actually, despite a blanket and pillow that was laid out.
"We could light a fire..." she suggested. She kept her voice low still and occasionally glanced towards the entrance of the tent."From here we can head straight into the forest, light up a couple sticks and then come back. Once a few of the tents get burning I'm sure things will turn into chaos with this group. If things go right it'll give us a clear path to William and Abraxas."
Penelope looked back to Crow again. "What do you think?" she asked.

Penelope looked back to Crow again. "What do you think?" she asked.
Penelope gave him a curious look but didn't get the chance to question as he headed over to the guard. She watched them for a moment before she began to take notice of the suspicious look she was earning from William. She looked over at him a gave a sheepish look, offering him a small shrug. He seemed to be picking up on the situation but it likely still confused him. He always thought so lowly of Crow so naturally it came a shock that the thief might actually be helping them.
The knight turned her gaze back to Crow as he approached her again. "Ok.." she muttered to him glancing at Gavin as he approach but her focus was quickly interrupted as Crow kissed her cheek. She quickly figured out how she was suppose to act. She gave an embarassed look, turning her head away. The only thing she didn't have to fake was the light blush on her cheeks, something that had simply developed against her will.
With the chains off her, she rolled her wrists, glad to have the metal off. It had been a strange and restricting feeling that she hadn't enjoyed. Penelope stood up with the help of Crow and stood closely next to him. "Er..." she sent a small glare towards Gavin before looking back to Crow. Her gaze softened a considerable amount as she looked up at him. "A-Alright.."
Gavin rolled his eyes as he watched the two. "Your tent is this way." the guard stated and began to lead the two away to a rather plain and old-looking tent, much more so than the others that had been pitched in the camp.

Penelope had been busy looking around for the weak points in the camp. She took notice how most of the nobles seemed untrained, likely why they felt the need to act much more cruel than they actually were. It was a strategy she had seen a few times when she was training to become a knight. They relied much more heavily on outnumbering their enemies rather than skill set. Perhaps none of them were related to any knight. Even she had to admit that it seemed strange that out all of his armies, the king did not have one of them in his midsts.
She gave a small sigh and shifted her shoulder slightly. It was nice to have the wound properly bandaged now. The knight was then pulled out of her thoughts when she her the sound of footsteps approaching. Penelope raised an eyebrow as Crow and Gavin approached. She opened her mouth slightly to respond to Crow but slowly closed it as she felt him drop the food into her hands. She met his gaze and gave a small nod. "Alright.." she mumbled quietly. "Ah... And thanks."
Her gaze then briefly moved away from him to Gavin. The guard was glancing over ever now at then at the two but he seemed to also be casually look around their camp. Penelope then slipped the food into the apron pocket before focuing on Crow again. "If there's any way I can help," she began, her voice barely a whisper and causing her to lean in a tad closer to him, "just tell me. The faster we get out of here, the better afterall."

The blonde thought it over with care before giving a small nod. "I believe we do." she agreed, shaking his hand. The money could easily be spared, these nobles were after power not wealth after all. "Understand that this does not mean you have earned complete freedom here. While I will provide you with better accommodations than that of the knights, I must have guards watching you at all times. I'm sure you expected such."
She then turned to the man who stood at the entrance way. "Fetch someone to treat the injured wench out there. I can handle things here." she ordered. He gave a small grumble and shot a final glare at Crow before turning to leave.
----
"Damn thief... Figures he would take advantage of this..." William growled, still furious over the current predictament. Even Penelope had to admit, he was beginning to get annoying. However, she saw it as a good chance since their guards seemed a bit amused with the knight's frustration.
"What did you expect? He has no sense of loyalty! He's a thief!" Penelope snorted and tugged lightly at the chains around her wrists. "Get over it already."
William, in a bad mood as it was, sent a glare Penelope's way. He grumbled something under his breath but otherwise became a bit quieter now. "What we need to focus on is getting out of here ourselves..." she whispered to her comrade.
Just then she noticed the guy from before walking up with what appeared to be bandages in his hand. He spoke briefly to one of the guards and then handed off the bandages to him before leaving. The guard then turned and headed up to Penelope wordlessly. The knight became tense watching him closely as he moved to patch up her injured shoulder. For now she didn't complain but occasionally winced as he worked. The guard was rather rough with his actions and merely walked back to his regular post once he was done.

Penelope eyed Crow as he began to try and bargin with the blonde. He was quick to earn a hateful glare from William but the female knight paused a bit before doing the same as the older knight. Unlike her comrade, she figured there was some angle that the thief was playing at. After saving and helping her more than once, the knight doubted he would suddenly turn against them. Crow had earned enough of her trust for Penelope to know better. Still, she had to do a bit of acting in order to avoid any suspicion.
The blonde pursed her lips together. She seemed reluctant but the possibility that his help held was greatly persuasive. "I suppose I might be interested..." she began rather hesitantly, exchanging a look with the man who stood next to her. "Fine... We can discuss your price. But, let's do so in a more comfortable and private setting," she mused with a glare at the knights. The blonde then turned to the man standing next to her. "Go ahead and bring him along with us to my tent. Keep his hands bounded though."
The man gave a curt nod and moved towards Crow to unhook him. "Don't get cocky with your price, thief. You're our captive still." The blonde added.

Penelope shook her head and let out an annoyed sigh. Seeing as the guards were done talking with them, she began to try and figure out how exactly they would be getting out of this place. As she looked around, she quickly spotted two figured approaching them. One was the man from before and at his side was a woman with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes... Penelope's gaze narrowed at the woman. It was the same person who had attacked her and Crow in the past.
"It's you again..." she muttered eying the woman as she walked up. The blonde looked at them, seeming rather satisfied. "Of course... Did you think you could just knock me over the head and get away with it?" her voice was rather cold as she sent a glare Crow's way.
"I'm assuming we're not just here because a pety thief knocked you out cold? If we are, I think you mighthave some anger issues." Penelope grumbled.
The woman snorted and rolled her eyes. "No fool. You're here because we learned about this little mission that you four misfits are going on.... Trying to prevent a war by stealing the staff of the rival king... How heroic." she said the words bitterly.
The knights seemed taken by surprise as she revealed that she already knew about why they were here. William clenched his hands into fists, clearly aggitated. "If you already know then why are we still here?" he growled.
"Besides that, why are you trying to stop us? You're nobles from this kingdom aren't you? We're trying to prevent a war!" Penelope added.
"It's simple. We want a war." she said with a cold smile. "More specifically we want to over throw the king. Of course, that's quite a difficult task considering that he has a whole army at his disposal. But if he also had a war going on at the same time... Well then, we have a higher chance of sucess wouldn't you agree?" The woman seemed pleased with her own planning. "As for why you're here, well, we could get quite a bit from using you knights. From telling us the weak points of the castle to battle strategies to using you to get further funding from your family. The possibilities are many... As for you thief," she turned towards Crow again. She studied him for a moment before shrugging. "Well... I'm not quite sure yet."
"It's you again..." she muttered eying the woman as she walked up. The blonde looked at them, seeming rather satisfied. "Of course... Did you think you could just knock me over the head and get away with it?" her voice was rather cold as she sent a glare Crow's way.

As for you thief," she turned towards Crow again. She studied him for a moment before shrugging. "Well... I'm not quite sure yet."
Penelope began to take notice of how the thief tried to avoid looking at her wound and when he did catch a glimpse, he almost seemed sick. Perhaps he had a problem with blood? She glanced over at him for a moment as she began to realize this, thinking it strange for a famous thief like him to have such an issue.
When he suddenly snapped at the guards, Penelope tensed. She figured his concern was more for himself rather than her own well being but even if he was concerned, in a time like this she didn't want to show any weakness. Even the clearly visable ones. "I'm fine." Penelope grumbled lifting her gaze to glare coldly at the guards before they could reply. "If you think getting me a little light headed will get you the answers you want at a faster rate, then I'm afraid you're terribly wrong."
The guards didn't take kindly to either Penelope's nor Crow's talking. The one snorted and crossed his arms. "I'm not even sure why we need all four of you.... Especially a useless thief." he growled. "Anyways, we have strict orders to do nothing more than make sure you fools don't try anything. So no one's getting help for now." The other guard smirked confidently at his comrade's words before looking to Penelope and adding, "We'll get what we want one way or another."
