Well there it was, confirmed! Her indignation suddenly grew tenfold. How often over the years, certainly since her first indiscretion, had she felt ashamed and inferior in her presence? To think that Elladora was no better than her after all! The humiliation she'd endured! "How could you keep it from me, for all this time?" To her own surprise she sounded more hurt than furious. She flushed, angry at herself for betraying deeper emotion than she'd wanted. What was Elladora to her but an inconvenient spousal relation? Why should it matter to her past the double standard?

Thanks to Bee for this magnificent set <3
