Penelope raised an eyebrow as he relayed what message to give his companions. It seemed like a vague meeting place but she didn’t question it as he assured that they would know what it meant. If Crow was confident enough in it, then she saw no reason to dispute it. The knight gave a small nod before turning her head to glance over at Otto as he instructed Preston and Percival to collect the horses. Off handedly, the knight thought that she should head out to do the same. Now that she was taking her leave from the group, she wasn’t sure if they’d grab her own horse as well.

She felt Crow take her hand and she let out a soft sigh as she felt him squeeze it. Though their time apart wouldn’t be that long, the knight was still far from eager to part. As he suggested waiting with them until the horses came, she nodded her head, forgetting about her past intentions to go ready her own beast. It could be put off for just a little longer. “Alright, I’ll hang around until they get back.” she agreed, moving a little closer to him.

Otto stepped past them with his son following closely behind as he headed towards the door. The baron spared them a passing glance. “Let’s wait for them outside.” he directed before heading out of the room. As usual, the baron seemed to be in a rush to get out and on the road. While the knight usually didn’t mind his punctualness, she wasn’t fond of it at the moment. She glanced up at the viceroy and offered a hapless shrug before stepping to follow him out of the room.

“Aww Penelope you’re leaving us soon, huh?” A small whine came from Naida as the princess hurriedly joined the two, falling in step on the other side of the knight.

“Unfortunately.” Penelope replied with a small smile. “But I’ll see you again once you guys return.”

“Really?” Naida perked up slightly. “You won’t be staying at the front lines again?”

“I don’t plan to. Provided an agreement for peace is within reach.” she mused with a shrug. Her gaze turned to look up at Crow with a confident smile. “And I have a good feeling about it.”

Despite what Naida had promised, there had still been a hint of trouble during the night. On a couple occasions the princess had sprawled out in her sleep—clearly used to sleeping alone and with more space— causing for her to crowd out the knight as well as dig her knee or elbow into her friend’s back. Naida was a heavy sleeper so Penelope found the easiest solution was to just nudge her friend away from her whenever she was woken up by the discomfort. Over all, it had been a better sleep than the night prior but it came at the cost of still feeling sore when the next morning rolled around.

The sound of the clamber of metal stirred her from her light slumber. Penelope had been laying rigidly against the far end of her side of the bed and could already feel a bit stiff both from having held that position for most of the night as well as from the jabs of Naida. She stretched and then swung her legs over the side of the bed as she sat up. Her green eyes squinted as they adjusted to the morning light and she let out a small yawn as she stretched out her back again, hoping to relieve some of the soreness. Behind her, she was aware of the bed shifting as Naida rose from her sleep as well.

“Morning Penelope.” Naida greeted then smiled confidently. “Well it looks like I didn’t knock you off the bed this time.”

“No but you did dig your elbow into my back on a few occasions.” Penelope responded casting a wry smirk over her shoulder. Turning back around, the knight threw on her boots and began to collect her belongings from the floor

Naida’s smile dimmed and she let out a small huff. “In my defense, this bed is tiny so some bumping was bound to happen!”

“Honestly I think you’ve improved.” Penelope gave a small laugh as she rose to her feet. As she threw on her armor, Otto’s words about reaching Silverpool reminded the her that she’d be taking her leave from the group that morning. She’d be leaving Crow and returning to her battalion. The though caused a hint of uneasiness and disappointment bubble inside her. She let out a quiet sigh under her breath and stepped over to the viceroy as the rest of the group finished getting ready. Though she was reluctant to part with him, she knew it was inevitable and more so then that, she understood his desire to see his old companions.

“I guess I better head out soon as well.” she mumbled, reaching out to rest a hand on his arm. The knight glanced discreetly around the room, noting that the others seemed preoccupied before leaning in closer to him. “Was there anywhere specific I should tell them to meet you?” she asked in a soft whisper.

Penelope was too tired to really focus xD

Penelope gave him a small smile of amusement as he replied honestly to her question. She couldn’t blame as she wasn’t particularly thrilled to end their time together or deal with a nagging baron. Letting him go, the knight fell in behind him as the viceroy opened the door and walked into the room. It took barely anytime for the baron to speak up and as expected, he didn’t sound pleased. A quiet sigh escaped her and she glanced around the small room as Crow responded to the irritated man. Tired and growing more so at the sight of the bed she’d have to share with Naida, she paid little attention to the two, more eager for the matter to settle rather than to jump into an argument.

Luckily Crow seemed to calm the baron relatively quickly. As he turned back to her, she gave him a weary smile and leaned in to meet his lips as he kissed her. “Thanks.” she said with a quiet chuckle. Penelope glanced over at Naida with a small smirk as her friend piped in before looking back to him. “I hope I can. I love you too. Goodnight Crow.” she said before leaning up to press a final kiss to his cheek.

Moving away from him, she stepped over to the other side of the bed that Naida was on and began to take off her armor. Since the room was so small, she crammed it best she could on her side of the bed in a pile. Satisfied, she moved to climb into the bed besides her friend who had already laid down ahead of her. The two noblewomen laid back to back due to how small the bed was. “Goodnight Penelope.” Naida whispered over her shoulder. “Despite what he says, I assure you I’ll be still tonight.”

“I’m sure you’ll try.” Penelope responded with a teasing glance as she looked over her shoulder at her friend. In all honesty, the knight did hope that past wouldn’t repeat itself. She was tired and the bed was small that part of her was already on the edge of it. The last thing she needed was a final kick to send her to the ground during the night. “Goodnight Naida.” she mumbled as she laid her head back down, ignoring the eye roll that came from her friend. Settling in as comfortably as she could manage, the knight closed her eyes. Weary from all the day’s events, it took her no time to drift off into a decently deep sleep.

Special Zone House

---

_{With Aida & Louis}

The day went by as well as Audrielle had expected. She had managed to get her way to some extent, mainly through traveling around to various stores. While the shopping itself wasn’t exactly thrilling to the young source blood, getting out of the house was. It was short lived as Aida nagged her about making the trip out short so they could go over the list she and Louis had made the night before. Audrielle had gotten around her patronizing for a decent amount of time before finally folding and picking out a dress. After that, the two had promptly returned back to the house where Louis was eagerly awaiting their arrival.

As she had promised, she sat down and listen to the the two blabber on about choices they felt were fitting to be her guardian. The young source blood barely paid them any attention during that time. Instead, she lounged comfortably on the couch, her mind wandering to other places. Namely the party that they’d soon be getting ready for. Audrielle knew it would likely be quite the evening, largely because of who was hosting it. Belmont must have been playing at some angle but it was difficult to say no to the opportunity he was presenting her. Perhaps it was a bit foolish but she’d sooner choose someone at the party than anyone of the random names Louis and Aida were listing off. At least then she would know that they wouldn’t be another ‘caretaker’ type trying to keep her locked up for her own safety.

Eventually the two finished their list and naturally, Audrielle just left them with the airy reply of ‘I’ll keep them in mind’ before hurrying off to get ready for the night’s events. As it grew later in the evening, the young source blood spent her time fixing her hair—braiding a strand of her golden hair and then curling the rest of it into thick ringlets—and adding a touch of make up to her face. Since it was a masquerade, the make up she did add was very light. A touch of mascara with eyeliner, and some lipstick to finish off a simple look. Finally, she put on her dress and mask for the event.

The dress was long, black mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline. The bottom half was a tiered skirt, keeping it just above the ground without allowing for much of her shoes or legs to show. The top and bottom were both embroidered with elegant, golden designs. Her mask tied right into the dress as well. It covered from the lower half of her forehead down to her nose. The mask was fairly simple in design. It was pitch black with vines of gold along the edges. On one side, a fake, black rose had been attached while on the other side, a smaller golden rose was glued on. Straightening out her clothing and throwing on a pair of black heels that she had also purchased that day, Audrielle made her way out of her room to join the others that were already waiting downstairs for her.

“Oh, you look lovely, Audrielle.” Aida gave a smiled as her friend came into view.

“Thanks. You do to.” the young source blood replied unable to keep the surprise out her voice as she looked at her two caretakers. She couldn’t remember a time seeing them dressed up the way they were now. Aida wore a long, dark crimson dress with a plunging neckline. Her mask was shaped like butterfly wings and was the same dark crimson color. Louis, though not as bold as Aida, wore a simple black blazer with a red undershirt. His mask was pitch black and in the shape of bird’s beak, covering most of his face. “I feel like you two did a bit of color coordinating.”

“We did.” Louis spoke crossing his arms over his chest. “Should anything go wrong there, I hope that you’ll be able to find us.” Aida nodded her head in strong agreement. Her gaze met Audrielle’s with a hint of concern. “That’s right. Belmont and his intentions aside, there will be other characters there that might be a bit shady.”

Audrielle rolled her eyes, feeling like a young teen before prom with the way the two talked. “Relax you guys.” she sighed. “I’m wearing a mask and I doubt Belmont will even announce who I am until later in the night. Just try to enjoy the party and I’ll try to find a potential guardian, ok?” A silence followed as Louis and Aida exchanged uneasy looks, still not fully convinced of the safety of the party they were going to. Audrielle let out a small huff of annoyance. “—And if something goes wrong, I’ll find you.” she assured with emphasis on the ‘if’ part. The two caretakers seemed to relax a little at her reassurance before nodding their heads in agreement with her words.

“Yes, please do.” Louis sighed before digging into his pocket for his keys. Though he still dreaded having to go to the party that evening, he knew there was no sense in putting it off now that all three of them were dressed and ready. “Now that that’s settled, let’s head out.” he said with a motion to leave. As the two women followed him towards the door, the old blood began to brace himself to undermine whatever Belmont had in plan. Simon would certainly be pissed at him if he didn’t and he also personally didn’t want Audrielle playing right into the older source blood’s hand as he had a feeling their goals likely didn't line up.
