Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Penelope gave the thief a questioning look as he told her to play along. She wasn't very willing to do so but as he called out to another man using his accent the knight decided to at least figure out his reasoning for doing so. As he spoke to the man, she was actually a bit surprised by the thief's words. She was expecting him to try and use the man in some way but instead, he seemed more concerned about the well being of the village than anything.

It was respectable and even a tad touching to the knight. She quietly took another sip from her drink and watched the man leave. She remained quiet for the time being, a bit lost in her thoughts as she observed the place. Crow's voice broke her thoughts making attention snap back to him. "You're right. Let's go then." She said standing up. Her drink was about half full still but it was more important to get back on track with the mission than take her time to enjoy it. She quickly took one last sip before heading towards the exit.

"I heard talk about that job.... Sending collectors down here that is." she mentioned to Crow, quietly. The last thing she wanted to do was alarm the villagers more. "Almost signed up for the job myself.... That is before I heard of this one." A soft sigh escaped her lips. "We're oblivious to how it's actually like here though... I suppose that's meant to help us get the job done but.." she trailed off for a moment and shrugged. "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I can tell you care for this place and I'm sorry things have gotten like this..."

I'm finally back! :D
And I'm not sure, to be honest. xD I agree that we should bring the nobles in again so that doesn't go unanswered. Since our premise for them was that they disagreed with the king, maybe they should come in soon before they leave to Younis. Like a sorta, final attempt before they get away.
I don't really have any other ideas for a plot twist at the moment though.

Ahhhh sorry I haven't replied yet!!! I'll probably be gone until the beginning of next week actually so just a heads up and sorry about that.

Penelope sent an annoyed glare at the thief. "You're lucky I don't have my sword right now." she growled defensively. "And don't you dare. You know that wasn't what I meant." The knight simmered down as she noticed Evelyn approaching. As the woman placed their drinks down and even offered Penelope a compliment at Crow's expense, the knight offered her a polite smile though said nothing otherwise.

She picked up the mug in her hands. Then she noticed the mocking look he gave her and let out a small snort. Under the table, she located his leg and gave him a light kick, partially restrained by the dress she wore. Not that she wanted to hit him full on despite how he was annoying her. "You're getting cocky.." she grumbled before lifting the mug up to her lips and taking a small sip. "Don't forget I'm a knight just because I'm forced to wear this clothing."

The honey mead was rather enjoyable though. Penelope had to admit that he at least had somewhat good taste. After a brief pause, the knight took another drink but kept her approval of the drink to herself.

As he winkd at her, Penelope rolled her eyes. "Ah yes, the ever complex mystery that is Crow continues." she muttered sarcastically with a very faint smirk. It was then that Evelyn approached the table. She glanced briefly at the woman but remained quiet as Crow would be the one ordering. He dragged her here afterall. However, she became a bit more curious about the woman as it seemed Crow knew her.

At the older woman's teasing, the knight looked a tad annoyed but more embarassed then anything, quickly looking away at such accusations. Once Evelyn had left, Penelope recovered slightly and looked back over at Crow again."Now you know how I feel on a daily basis." she teased. Despite having been put into a rather unwanted position by the older woman, there was something about her that Penelope couldn't help but admire slightly.

"Though, if you keep up that terrible lying, we'll have a whole kingdom confusing us as some sort of thing..." Penelope added giving him a criticizing look. "Couldn't come up with anything better than acquaintances huh?"

Penelope blinked, a bit caught off guard as Crow moved his arm around her waist. "I could have handled myself just fine." she grumbled in return feeling a bit ashamed for having let such a pety thing bother her. She was a knight after all and a few looks should be meaningless, especially when coming from drunken men. Though, she was a bit grateful for the aid.

Moving on, Penelope sat down quietly at the table. "Yeah." she agreed with a small nod. "It's quaint." The knight briefly swept her gaze across the room before looking back to Crow. "So this town is where you grew up, huh? Must be nice to see it again after being locked up for a year." she mused.

Penelope shrugged at his answer. "Fine." she replied. The knight didn't bother to press on the topic and instead followed the thief rather quietly. Her gaze wandered around the village. To her, there wasn't much to see but she had enough sense to understand why he wanted to look around.

The knight grinned a little out of amusement as the thief returned to his regular self. "Back to the normal routine.." she muttered rolling her eyes as he grabbed her hand and lead her towards the building. However, this time felt a bit different. She should have been used to the thief's touch but somehow his hand felt much more prominent than usual in hers. In fact... it even made her feel a bit nervous... Or perhaps it was anxious? Penelope shook her head to rid herself of the confusing thoughts.

Looking back ahead, she read the name of the tavern she was being dragged to. She eyed it with a hint of curiousity, entering the building shortly after Crow. It was different than any tavern she had been to but that was merely due to the poverty this particular area. It seemed run down and almost a bit eerie to the knight. It wasn't long before she had the uncomfortable feeling of being watched. It seemed that a couple men there had already began to eye her with slight interest upon her entrance. Penelope shifted uneasily. She wasn't used to such attention or looks. As a knight, she rarely recieved such and was more familiar with a hateful look.

Penelope found it a tad odd how he wavered slightly. Usually the thief was quick to force his company onto her without so much as a second thought. Which was in some way understandable when he would otherwise be stuck with William. It made her wonder how bit of a difference there was between how she looked now rather than before. To her, th only thing that felt different was that she was in a dress rather than armor. The knight shrugged to herself and remained quiet during the conversation with the two. She found herself feeling a bit embarassed by Their words though only rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Ah," Penelope blinked as William now directed his attention to her. "I'm fine with it. I think I'm beginning to become immune to such annoyances." she told him with a small smirk. That wasn't quite true. While he annoyed her at times, the thief's company was overall enjoyable to the knight but with the older knight around there was no way she could admit to it. Especially with how Crow was acting around her at the moment. William gave a small nod. "Alright. I'll leave him to you then." he agreed before turning and walking off.

Once he had gone, Penelope cleared her throat and began to look around. "So where are you dragging me to day, hmm?" she questioned in a teasing manner.
