I felt like it was necessary to move on to when they reached the town in my last post. Hopefully that's ok? ^^'
Penelope rolled her eyes and looked away once more. His words hit her slightly though, for once making her wonder if she had been too harsh in her actions. She quickly shook the thought out of her head though. It was ridiculous for her to worry about such meaningless things. William had been suspicious of the actions of the thief anyways. She'd have to explain her plan to her comrades later to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Seeing as Crow was done for now with his wooing, Penelope let such thoughts go to the back of her mind. She quickly returned back to her usual routine, thouh her glances at him were less frequent now.

After a while of traveling, the sun was nearly setting now when they reached their destination. "At least we made it on time." grumbled William as he looked around seeming pleased. Penelope straightened up at the sight, now becoming more alert again but she also longed to leave the carriage and stretch her limbs a bit. Being stuck in that wagon had made her feel stiff despite how she moved every now and then in an attempt to find some sort of comfortable position.
It really is. XD I love this.
Acting sure came with a price. The way he tried to win her over easily revolted the female knight. She was suppose to be a person of honor! Instead, she was stuck putting up with some pest for the king in a way that might not work. However, he at least seemed more focused on her than anything else at the moment, including stealing or planning an escape. That was enough to encourage her to continue on with this scam.

As he picked up her hand, she restrained herself from hurting him, despite her slowly building frustration and annoyance with this thief. Her normally pale face became a tad red as he kissed her hand. It was likely due to a mixture of both embarassment and her frustration.

Luckily for her, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. She tug her hand away from him violently before shoving him away from her so he was no longer so close. Penelope shot him a deathly glare before being interrupted by the voice of William, whom was beginning to turn his attention to the back of the wagon.

"He isn't trying anything again is he?" William asked, already sounding hostile.

"No. Not yet." Penelope replied in her normal, strict attitude as if nothing had happened.

William gave a small gruff of acknowledgement before her turn his attention elsewhere. Penelope let out a sigh of relief. Something she didn't even have to fake.
That's what I thought to. XD I was like 'how can I make the most out of this? Ooohh... I got it now.' Haha
I died a little reading your last post. xD That was great.
The question caught her off guard. That much could quickly be established. She gave a scoff, almost amused by the ridiculous words that he spoke. At first, she figured he was just trying to annoy her or even cause some sort of distraction. However, that didn't quite seem to be the case since the thing he was closest to was the pile of blankets. She knew he was playing at some sort of angle though.

Her demeanor changed slightly, though she kept a cold,arrogant aura for looks. If playing this little game meant that she could easily stop him from whatever his plans were, then perhaps she should take this chance to go along with it for now.

Penelope turn her head away as if bashful or embarassed by the compliments. "F-Fool." she spatted in her usual tone only with an added stuttered. The act had to be believeable after all. "As if I'd welcome such compliments from a pety thief with low standards."

She turned her head back around to look at him but she still kept her act going. She feigned embarassment by looking elsewhere to avoid meeting his gaze. At one point, Penelope glanced out towards William and Abraxas. She was a bit worried they wouldn't understand she was just putting on an act.
Penelope turned as she saw the approaching figures of William and Crow. Relief waved over her as the mission hadn't been completely destroyed due to her negligence. She began to approach the carriage whenWilliam spun around to address her. "Of course." Penelope replied in a monotoned way. Once the older knight left to attend the front of the wagon, she silently climbed into the back of the carriage.

Her gaze was serious and gave away no clear emotion. Though, she felt deeply ashamed of herself for messing up so much. Penelope lowered her head slightly to look at the wooden floor. It only remained that way for a short second before she quickly raised her head again. After all, lowering your head was a sign of weakness. Pretty much any emotion shown besides hatred to an enemy was a sign of weakness. Or at least, that was what Penelope was taught.

"Damn thief." she muttered bitterly as the carriage suddenly lurched forward. The wheels began to roll again and soon they were on their way once more. Penelope could tell that their pace had increased slightly from before. She supposed William was rushing them forward now.

Penelope looked out the carriage at the passing area. Very frequently, she would glance over at Crow, study him until she decided he wasn't doing anything, and then look away again.
I like that idea. I'll definetly have to think this through. xD
