Hello! This is Buzzingbee! I used to be on here as BuzzBee but I had some trouble. I had issues in real life that made me go off for a while and then when I was going to come back on, passwords, emails, etc were forgotten and lost. xD But I'm back and ready to jump into where I left off!

Penelope furrowed her brow at Kane as he announced he had asked the knight's for an escort back to the castle. It didn't make sense to her. She may have been drunk but she still felt like the group was capable enough to make it back on their own, especially since Crow was sober and Kane didn't seem nearly as affected by the alcohol as the two women. Her focus shifted over to Crow as the former thief voiced his protest to the escort. She hadn't thought to protest it herself until the viceroy spoke up. His anger over the situation made her recall the group of drunken knights that had been glaring at him when they first entered. While she didn't think they were the same ones, it was likely they shared a similar disdain for the former thief.
"Yah we'll probably be 'ine." Penelope spoke up in support of Crow.
Her words fell on deaf ears though. "If you have an issue with them, then perhaps you should just take a separate leave." Kane suggested. Though his voice remained polite there was a hit of warning in his tone. One that didn't slip past the female knight.
Penelope gave the nobleman a confused look before narrowing her eyes at him. "Why should he?" she questioned.
His gaze flickered to the knight and he frowned worriedly at her. Kane parted his lips, about to answer but didn't get the chance to as the knights arrived. The small group of three came to a halt at the end of the table, dipping their heads respectfully to Naida and ignoring the viceroy. The three were clearly a bit tipsy from the alcohol they consumed, making their true emotions shine through. The least drunk of them stepped forward to address the group. "If you're already to leave, we can begin our walk back to the castle." he grunted.
"Already?" Naida pouted.
"You can 'hank the 'viceroy' fer that." growled the more intoxicated of the three. He shot a hateful glare at Crow. "Shoulda figured ya throw one woman outta your room 'n on to the next, huh?"

Yeah Naida made it go a complete different direction xD Kane really got the wrong idea lmao
Penelope looked over at Crow as he spoke up to put an end to Naida's challenge. Despite feeling slightly guilty for being the cause of the issue, she relaxed as he was able to get her out of it. Underneath the table, she gave his hand an affectionate squeeze. She felt a bit unsettled as a tense silence fell over the group and she leaned one elbow against the table, deciding it best not to lean into Crow anymore. As Kane rejoined them, she looked over at the nobleman as he seemed confused by the tense scene he had returned to. However as Naida answered his question, the knight noticed Kane clench a fist at his side despite keeping a fairly calm expression.
"Oh?" he questioned with a hint of suspicion. Kane turned his gaze to look down at Penelope. "I'm sorry, perhaps I misunderstood.. Are you courting him?"
Penelope hesitated before shaking her head. "No we're not."
"They just felt like it I guess." Naida mused, eying her nails if they had suddenly became interesting.
"Ah." Kane muttered as he lifted his new drink to his lips. He took a long sip from it before heavily placing it down. Penelope watched as the nobleman made eye contact with someone and gave a subtle gesture with his head for them to come over. The motion was rather quick that she nearly hadn't caught it. She might have even dismissed it if one table of knights hadn't rose right after. For a brief moment, panic flooded her, thinking that they were after Crow, until she realized they would have no reason to go after him now that he was a viceroy... Right?
"I think perhaps we should all call it a night." Kane announced, shooting the two women a polite smile. However as his gaze drifted onto Crow, he met the other man's gaze with narrowed eyes. "I asked a few knights to help out in making sure we all get home safely. It's a long walk back after all." he gave a smirk to the viceroy, clearly thinking he had outsmarted him. "I assume that won't be an issue, right?"

Penelope's plan really backfired on her ^^;
Her plan didn't work out as well as she was hoping it would. She thought she could kill two birds with one stone by kissing Crow to get out of playing spin the bottle as well as getting Naida off their case. Not to mention she was quite the terrible liar while drunk, the only thing working in her favor was that Naida was just as drunk. However, that didn't help stop the princess from noticing the passion in their kiss. She glanced up at Crow, following Naida's gaze as she claimed to think he fancied her as well. Penelope blinked as she noticed the color in his expression after the kiss. It was never her intention to make him flush like he did but she couldn't help but feel a swell of affection as well as a bit of smugness knowing she had such an effect on him.
"'m just a good kisser." Penelope argued waving her hand at Naida's grinning face. "'hat has nothin' to do with anyone fancying anyone."
Naida rolled her eyes. "Oh please. I don't buy't."
"It's true, yar just stubborn." Penelope said making a face at her friend.
Little did the knight realize she was digging her own grave. Naida huffed and crossed her arms over her chest defiantly. Her gaze shifted onto something and a devious spark lit up in her gaze. Turning back to Penelope, a slow grin spread across her lips again. "Well 'f you're sooo talented, how 'bout you kiss Kane too t'prove it." Naida challenged, with a nod towards the nobleman who was making his way back to the table.
Penelope blinked and followed her friend's gaze over the other man, feeling her heart sink. It'd be tough to get out of this situation without confirming that she did fancy the viceroy. She scrambled to try and think of an excuse, anything that would get her out of having to kiss someone other than Crow. Unfortunately nothing came to mind right away and the silence was noted by the princess.
"Can't do it when ya fancy someone else, huh?" Naida teased with a wide grin.
"No. I can 'n I will!" Penelope declared, despite a hint of uncertainty seeping into her gaze. She shifted uncomfortably next to Crow and moved to slide her hand onto his leg underneath the table, silently hoping he'd get them out of this mess. "He's just gotta get to the table firs'." she mumbled, lowering her gaze slightly.

Penelope didn't really think through her solution xD
Penelope relaxed as Naida seemed to buy her words and she felt Crow rub her back. The motion put her at ease, making her feel like she had taken the right course of action. Unfortunately, the moment didn't last as Naida called her out on her bluff. The knight blinked and shifted uncertainty in her seat, trying to come up with another way to make Naida let go of the subject. Luckily she didn't have to as Crow piped in to try and get his sister to let it go. However, Naida wasn't going down without a fight.
The knight wrinkled her nose as her friend suggested a game of spin the bottle. Not only was there the flaw of the two siblings playing it but the knight didn't exactly want to have to kiss anyone else or see Crow do it for that matter. It offhandedly caused her to be reminded of the incident with Cedric the previous night. While the situations were far different, it made her even more opposed to playing the game. "'s a really bad idea." she agreed with Crow, shaking her head.
"'t'll be fine if we get more people t'play." Naida assured with a dismissive wave as she began to look around the other tables for players.
Penelope shot her friend an annoyed look. "Oh screw't." she huffed. Without a second of pause, the knight gave the viceroy's shirt a small tug to get him to turn to her and once he had, she leaned up to press her lips against his. The knight closed her eyes as she leaned into the kiss. Though she had only done it as a way to get out of playing Naida's game, she couldn't help but get a little distracted along the way. However, she soon realized that she should end it and pulled away from the viceroy to meet Naida's gaze evenly.
"See, nothin'." Penelope stated as she used the back of her hand to wipe off her lips, trying to calm her now racing heart.

Luckily for him, Naida's gloating sent off red flags for Penelope xD
Unfortunately Crow didn't offer much of an answer as he instead addressed Naida. Although she felt him wrap an arm around her to hold her so that contented the knight enough to merely listen as the two conversed. That is until Naida turned back to her. At her friend's words, Penelope smiled, completely missing the mischievousness that was in Naida's expression. Thanks to the alcohol, she found Naida's words to actually be quite nice. Especially when most people were trying to separate them rather than push them together.
"Thanks." Penelope giggled without second thought. "'m glad you 'hink so."
Naida seemed mildly surprised that Penelope agreed so easily. She shot a victorious grin at Crow, as if she had finally cracked the code. "See! You two 're perfect together!" she exclaimed gleefully. "Right, Penelope?"
Penelope parted her lips to answer but hesitated. While her first reply would have been yes, the successful expression on Naida's face made her think that wasn't what she was supposed to say. The knight certainly thought that she and Crow were a good team but she suddenly couldn't admit that to Naida. While the reasoning for denying such a thing was foggy, she knew she wasn't supposed to say such a thing. The knight shifted uncomfortably.
"Well... no." Penelope said with a small shake of her head. She turned to Crow to try and mouth a subtle 'sorry', hoping that he knew why she had to disagree.
Naida's grin died down into a disappointed frown. Clearly she had been expecting a yes. "Whaaaat? Why?" The princess pouted.
"Er, Uh." Penelope stuttered, fumbling to come up with a reasoning behind dismissing the idea of her and Crow. Between the alcohol that clouded her mind and her genuine affection for the former thief, it was difficult to come up with anything, be it a lie or true. However, she managed to make something up. "He's juss not my type." she finally declared with a shrug.
