Eden frowned as she watched his reaction. She hesitated for a moment before slowly walking up and sitting down besides him. "It wasn't you though.... And whatever it was only comes out during the night it seems.. Which means, we can find a way to fix this so it doesn't happen.." she said giving an optomistic look. She tentatively reached out and rested her hand lightly on his arm.

"We can explain the situation to everyone else now too. I'm sure we can get them to at least accept that you're still... you during the day." she went on with encouraging words. The truth was that she had no clue how to go about fixing this or where to even start. Figuring out the answers to that would have to come later though.

Penelope hopped off the wagon and almost immediately began looking around. Her gaze took in nearby locations and the unrecongized faces that passed by. For now she was attempting to put a rough outline of the villiage in her mind. She took note of pubs and food places, the most likely establishments she would find her father or brother. If they were here. She paid little attention to what William was scolding Crow for at the moment.

She was soon brought out of her thoughts as William made his announcement. Penelope quickly snapped her attention back to the mission. There was faint disappointment within her as she would need to remain back with Crow. She was so hoping to hurry off into the town to explore. But, the knight didn't complain or show any sign of her disappointment.

Penelope glanced over at Crow as the other two left. "It would appear so." she muttered. She smirked a bit. "Ah but don't worry, you can have your time with William and Abraxas once they get back." Though teasing it was a bit true. She had decided to leave when dinner time came around to look around the town. By then most things would be quieter and she wouldn't have to worry about who would be watching the thief.

Penelope looked a tad surprised by his change of tone as he met her gaze. She couldn't help but feel a soft pang of guilt. Her original view of him wasn't much different from the prison guards he described. Part of her still looked heavily down upon him and other such criminals but the way he spoke made her briefly doubt her own beliefs. Her own cheeks flared up a bit and she glanced around elsewhere as he looked away as well.

She smirked a bit at his comment and rolled her eyes, quickly recovering from before. "That's the same thing!" she scoffed with a hint of amusement. Penelope sat up a bit straighter and stretched out her back for a moment. "You know..." she began in a soft voice, "You're not that bad either... I expected much worse... Though you're rather annoying, you're at least somewhat entertaining." She gave him a small smile, rather than her usual smirk.

However, it quickly faded away as William's voice was heard. "We're almost there. Town's right up ahead." he announced. "Alright!" Penelope replied. She felt a bit relieved that they were almost there. It was almost a cramping feeling to be stuck sitting in the wagon for so long. First thing she had planned was a walk, though her reasoning was for a bit more than just stretching her legs. She also wanted to take the time to see if her father or brother were there. The town was close enough to the border for it to be possible after all.

Eden looked off to the side as he pressed for a better explanation. "Alright.. I went to talk to at the Malt yesterday since I had talked to everyone about why they were avoiding you but it was like you already knew and didn't care. You were just... different... And it got worse... Aya came out at one point and started to try and talk to but.... You just punched her... She was out cold after that and I went to check on her and got between you two. At that point you were about to hit me as well." She paused for a moment shifting her feet uncomfortably.

Eden glanced briefly over at Marlon before looking to Donovan. "That was when your dad came in... He shot you before you could attack me and then you ran off out here.. And I don't think this was a one time thing either... The whole town is scared of you because of stuff like that... Evan and Carly had similar stories..." She fell quiet now giving a small frown.

Eden remained behind Marlon as Donovan came through. She watched him, carefully trying to judge where his current mental state was at and hoping he was back to his regular self. At his confusion, she couldn't help but feel a bit of relief. Surely he was back to normal if he had no idea where he was now. Eden felt sure enough of this to then move past Marlon and up to her friend.

"It's a bit hard to explain..." she said giving a faint frown, the thought of the night before fresh in her mind. "You... You just weren't yourself the night before..." A brief flash of fear crossed her eyes as she spoke. "Somethings happened and you ran off... We came to find you and make sure you were alright." She spoke very vaguely for now. He had just woken up and she wasn't quite sure how to explain everything yet. The main issue for now would be making sure he was alright after being shot the night before.

Figured that he wouldn't give out his actual name. That wasn't much of a surprise to the knight. Though his choice of wording earned him an annoyed look. For now his plan was working. Her attention was away from him planning any escape at the moment. She rolled her eyes at his words and gave a small shrug as he offered to give his own tale in return. She listened in silence, occasionally glancing around and checking the perimeter per usual. She shook her head at the part about the foolish knights, feeling little sympathy for them and more shame.

Penelope looked back over at him. "I suppose." she said with a small smirk at him then added in a lightly joking tone, "But with that vagueness I think I find the clouds more interesting." With that said she glanced out at the clouds above and gestured to one that was almost right over head of them. "See. There's a horse." She said speaking about one of the fluffy masses. It was round shaped with barely any neck and another circle that she saw as the head. Four stems came from the main shape which took the place of legs. The cloud, like most, could be interpreted in many different ways though.

Penelope found little need to pester him about information. In this case she was only hired to be a guard and make sure things went smoothly on this mission. Besides, it was a pointless mission if he merely choose to be vague about the details. Though she didn't mind a good story or two. "If you're looking for me to give another tale then you're going to have to give me some time to think. Despite the job title, there are very few times worth retelling." she spoke truthfully. While she enjoyed her job, everything was rather regulated and very few missions ever differed or stood out (unlike the one she was currently taking part in).

Penelope eyed him with both interest and caution. The main reason for being uninterested in information about him was because it was coming from him directly. A thief like him could easily spin some sort of lie. If she was going to get information, it was likely better to get it somewhere other than the criminal himself.

For now, she decided to just play along. She could always decide later how trustworthy his words were. Penelope met his gaze for a moment. That glittering amusement in his eye wasn't quite helping build any crediblity with her in this situation. "That's not surprising." Penelope mused before continuing, "So then, what is your real name?"

(Sorry it's so short >.<)

Eden nodded in agreement with his words before taking the lead and heading into the forest. She took her steps hesitantly and with uncertainty as she attempted to recall the way to the creek. It was all vaguely familiar and she thought that she was heading in the right direction based off what she could recall. As they wandered deeper into the woods, the faintest sound of running water ahead gave her a spark of hope. Eden increased her pace as she became more certain with herself that it was up ahead. Sure enough the trees revealed the creek but her calculations had been slightly off. The tree that Donovan had taken her to was a bit further up the creek but it was at least in view. She gave a small sigh of relief, knowing she hadn't gotten them lost, and then began to head in that direction.

Her steps slowed down as they reached the tree. She fell back behind Marlon. The uncertainty of Donovan's current condition made her hesitant to be the first one to reach him.
