Ok! Good luck on the test. c:
Penelope found herself a bit happy with Crow's reaction despite herself. A small hint of pink even crossed over her cheeks. Silently, she scolded herself for the way she took his reaction. It shouldn't have mattered what the thief thought about it after all. She gave a small snort in attempt to recover, especially with William around.

"Better. I lost my armor and sword for nothing if it doesn't." Penelope stated giving William an annoyed look. William shurgged carelessly. "Anyways... How's your accent coming? We're going to cross soon after all." She eyed William who muttered something under his breath.

"Come on then. Can't be that bad is it?" Penelope said testing out her own take of th accent. She had improved during the ride over and it was sounding more similar to Crow's now. "I'll work on it." William grumbled. Penelope rolled her eyes in annoyance with the elder knight.
Penelope watched as Crow hurried out of the wagon. She got up and headed over to where they had stored the extra clothing. Since they would be crossing over to Younis soon enough, she decided that it was time to change into the disguise they had provided her. After shuffling through a few pieces of clothing, she soon found her dress laid neatly down at the bottom. It was a light brown for the most part except for the occasional white which was used as trim around the bottom. There was also a white apron that would tie around her waist. Overall, it wasn't a very eye catching dress as it lacked any sort of color or elegance. It was simple and to the point, something Penelope actually found to be a redeeming quality of the dress.

"Oi! No one come in the wagon until I say so!" Penelope shouted at the three men from inside. She was easily flustered by the situation and that alone made her much more defensive. Reluctantly, she removed her armor and set it off to the side. Giving a slightly annoyed look, the knight continued to remove her usual wear, which was a loose fitting shirt and pants, before quickly slipping into the dress. It was a foriegn feeling to be wearing one. There might have been an occasion once or twice that had called for her to wear a dress but Penelope had otherwise worn clothing more fitting of men than women due to her job.

She smoothed out the apron that attached to her front for a moment before lifting her hand to lightly touch the bun her hair was pulled up into. She supposed it didn't fit very well with the outfit. It was held up in a very tight and formal bun, not very fitting of a peasant woman. Penelope then removed it and let her hair fall freely for once. She ran a hand through her hair to comb it out slightly as she turned walked towards the exit of the wagon. She stepped out of the wagon more carefully than before since she was concerned about possibly tripping due to the dress. "This is ridiculous." Penelope grumbled as she walked up to the two.
Yeah xD Sounds good to me
With such plans being made, Penelope couldn't help but feel slightly more at ease. It was always nice to have a safety net should something go wrong. The knight glanced at the dagger before looking to make sure William or Abraxas hadn't looked back at the time. For the plans they made, it would be wise to keep the thief armed as a precaution. She was glad that she hadn't come to regret the decision to let him keep it.

Having over come such acts of embarrassment rather quickly, the knight now looked at Crow once more. "Good... I'm glad that there's a little less to be concerned about then if we aren't able to copy the accent right." she said with a nod. Penelope then took on the accent again. Unlike him, the knight preferred not to rely on failure and hoped that it wouldn't be necessary. "Guess I better get used to it while I can though."
Penelope glanced briefly towards her comrades as Crow spoke, his words making her a tad worried though she hid it for the most part. She hoped to be able to learn the accent quickly but there was also them to worry about. Especially when they would be the ones taking on a position of authority as knights. She wished that this topic had been brought up earlier in the journey. Penelope turned her gaze towards Crow, seeming ready to give him an annoyed look as she put the blame on him but then she recalled his previous plans. She was coming to understand the thief better now and she was also going against the basic morals of a knight which were to keep a distance between them and thier enemies.

As his tone changed, Penelope raised an eyebrow at him. She gave a small snort, at first finding it to be rather ridiculous. "Perhaps it'd be romantic if I found myself in better company." she teased him, rolling her eyes. However, the plan wasn't all that bad. If William and Abraxas were to get caught, Crow and her could still potientially get the job done. Though it would be more difficult for several reasons.

"But..." she added quickly. She moved her gaze away in slight embarassment. "It's not a bad back up should worst come to worst..."
Penelope gave a small nod. She supposed she would just let William and Abraxas handle things when they first got to Younis. It was likely she wouldn't be able to hold much authority once they reached the other kingdom anyways. That in itself was a tad annoying but the knight could manage. Her main job was to keep an eye on Crow so at least nothing there would change.

Her gaze met his as told her to give the accent a try. There was a small flicker of uncertainty beofre she gave a shot at it. "Ah, does this work?" she said as she attempted to imitate the accent. However, it didn't quite come out that well. She could tell there was a clear difference between the one he used and the one she had given. Penelope shook her head and sat up a bit straighter. "No wait... I can do better." she said using her regular voice, a clear tone of determination. She always got this way when learning something new. She took it very seriously and aimed to perfect it as quickly as possible.

There was a pause as she replayed the voice he had used in her thoughts."Ok, Crow," She began her second attempt at the accent and there was improvement from before, "Not so bad I guess. What do you think?" She met his gaze for a moment. It seemed she would be using his name a bit more now than just calling him thief. It even began to feel a bit normal though it was still a rough change since she had to be careful when around William and Abraxas.

Penelope looked ahead towards the wagon and gave a small yawn. Part of her wished she could risk taking a nap on their trip but she wasn't about to test her luck with either Crow or William. Mainly William. Crow had gained quite a bit of her trust from the night before since he had chosen to help her rather than run away. There was a form of respect for the thief since he had kept his word, something that wasn't common among most of the people Penelope dealed with. Though, it was likely that she wouldn't be very willing to admit such a thing, especially when he tried to escape just the other day as well.

She turned her head to look over at the thief as he came up besides her. A small smirk of amusement crossed over her lips. "You're quite the sight seer aren't you?" she comment as she recalled the small pond where he had taken her before. Penelope walked ahead and climbed up into the wagon as usual. She sat down with her legs stretched out in front of her. Wanting to wake up a bit more, the knight began to do a few simple stretching exercises as she leaned forward to touch her toes.

William and Abraxas both mounted their horses once both Penelope and Crow had entered the wagon. Penelope paused as the wagon gave the usual tug before beginning to move. Her gaze then flickered over to Crow. "Ah, so what all is there to learn?" she asked him. With plenty of time to waste, she figured that they might as well use it wisely. "The accents and all... Might as well get a jumpstart on it."
Penelope rolled her eyes as she noticed the look of satisfaction he gave. It seemed that the rest of this trip would be a pain for her, having not only to dress as a peasant girl but also depend on him in order to avoid being discovered by the rival kingdom. As the wench returned with their food, Penelope watched as Crow slipped the girl some bread. She said nothing on the manner and turned her attention to her own food right after, finding herself to be rather hungry.

It wasn't long before the knights had finished eating. William stood up, ready to go. Penelope glanced up at the older knight. "Ah... I've been meaning to ask... Where did my father and brother go off to? Are they still in town?" she questioned. The thought had crossed her mind a few times on their whereabouts since her early departure the night before. "They went off to work as far as I know." William replied with a small shrug. Penelope gave a small nod, feeling a tad disappointed. She had been at least hoping for a proper goodbye before they left. She supposed seeing them was enough for now.

"Alright. Let's go. They should have brought the wagon around by now and I don't want to waste anymore time." William grumbled.
Her reasoning for being this angered by having to disguise was simple. Penelope knew that once they put a dress on a knight, that knight was meant to be used as a way to charm their enemies be it for information or convenience. Penelope simply wasn't fond of that job. In fact, she had only tried to do so with Crow because she knew of how long they would be stuck together but even then her skills had only equated to friendliness and not a one sided one either. It was simply a skill that she lacked and tried to pride herself in something better.

"Some bread." She said giving the wnech a small nod before looking over at Crow as he began to talk. The female knight looked intrigued when he took on the accent. Her anger had died off for now since the topic had changed. "Looks like we've got something to work on then." she mused. "We're on a bit of a time limit after all." She sighed softly.

William seemed annoyed with the fact that they'd be depending on a thief for such information. He crossed his arms and gave Crow a cold look. "And I suppose we can trust you to teach us?" he grumbled sourly.
