His stealing went unnoticed by Penelope, despite being careful. She shot a glare his way as he spoke. For now, she did not speak up and just sat in quiet contempt for the thief. Things seemed to be in order, which was enough for her not to realize a dagger has gone missing.
Once he was laying back down, Penelope seemed more at ease. The less movement, the better. But this little hint of peace was quickly destroyed.
An arrow lodged itself in the wood only a few inches away from hitting Penelope. It's intended target had originally been William, who rode at the side of the wagon. However, it's archer had shot much too early and easily missed William and almost hit Penelope.
"We're being ambushed!" William shouted as he tried to calm his frightened mare as it reared up in panic.
Penelope ducked down to avoid any further incoming arrows and heaved herself off of the wagon which had now been pulled to a violent and sudden stop as two of the bandits now blocked their path. A few others began to emerged from the surrounding areas. It was clear that they had been labeled as a huge target. Coming from the king, surely many bandits wanted whatever they could get from the wagon and they knew they needed numbers to do so.

Pmed :)
Both of those work. I think bandit attack would be best. Or rather, most interesting. :3
Bump
Hey, I feel like we should have something happen. xD Sadly I have no ideas.
Penelope sighed and rolled her eyes as he moved to mess with the bundle. His personality wasn't quite what she was expecting. He made her feel like she was babysitting some annoying toddler than keeping an eye on a skilled thief. What made it worse was his ablity and skill. Such a pest.
As he drew the sword, she became slightly tense. Surely he wasn't foolish enough to actually use it? Even if he did manage to win against her there was still William and Abraxas to go through, leaving him little chance if any. Her hand was now slightly closer towards the hilt of her own sword which was at her side. "Put it down." she said sternly with her gaze focused clearly on him. "Wouldn't want you to cut yourself. You're the king's thief afterall." She spoke sarcastically, in reference to his constant defence against how the knights treated him.
"You let him touch the weapons?!" William snapped from outside the wagon.
"He's a thief not an assassin. Besides, the back of a wagon isn't exactly an easy fighting ground." Penelope stated matter-of-factly.

"Government." The man responded with clear certainty. "Talks been goin' round about how they ain't gonna just stop at old Jenson's place. Seems we're all in for a rough time." He seemed pleased with the crowd he was gathering with this news, so his talk may have been a bit dramatized but the threat was real enough. The woman took notice of his display and gave his arm a soft hit, trying to discreetly tell him to knock it off.
"Is there any news about who's next?" Kate asked with a raised eyebrow. She tried to remain formal as she spoke to him but the concern for her little farm house was plenty visable.
Before the man could even open his mouth, his companion butted in. She had became impatient and uncomfortable with all the attention. The opposite of him. "'Fraid not. You'll have to listen elsewhere for that information." she replied curtly before hooking the man's arm with her's and beginning to lead him away.

"Then maybe you should think twice about stealing from us." Penelope rhetorted. "If you're on good behavior then you get the same portion of food like the rest of us. Keep up with your usual nonsense then you starve. It's a simple system that you should be familiar with." She spoke rather coldly towards him, giving a look of disapproval as usual.
"Starve or don't starve. You're just a theif and you can be replace. Even the king knows that much." Penelope continued leaning back against the side of the wagon. She sat with good posture, having a straight back with her head held high. It definitely gave off a feeling of arrogance.
"So I'd suggest behaving for the rest of the time we are stuck together. I think it's for both of our better interests." She said with a small sigh.

Kate hauled a crate off of the back of her wagon when another pulled up next to her. She glanced over at the riders and was quick to recongize the Hays siblings. She knew some things about them but not in much detail. She had heard of their issues and some rather foul things pertaining to Mary specifically. Personally, Kate had never bothered to approach either of them.
Part of that might be due to her own judgement of Mary. From what she had heard, Kate simply figured the two of them would not get along, though she never bothered to test her theory.
The couple fell silent for a moment. The woman gave an arrogant look at Mary and turned her head away. The man, however, merely grinned and decided to reply. "Word on the trail is that old crow Jenson lost his land. Got ran off his own porch without a chance of defendin' himself."
Kate, who had previously decided to continue on her own way, paused only a few steps away from the entrance to the store. Their words quickly grabbed her attention. "What?" she echoed looking at them with slight bewilderment. She had her own land to be concerned about.
The man gave a small nod as he glanced over at Kate. "That's what's been goin' 'round. Jenson's been busy drowin' his sorrows in whiskey since the sun came up."
