Now that, Elsie could not completely understand. It felt like every day she fell more and more in love with Tyb. Some new quirk she hadn't realized, or just watching him with Bentley, reaching over night after night to find comfort in having him right next to her in bed. It never ceased to amaze her. Maybe because she it had never been guaranteed; they'd had to really work for it. Els felt for her friend and the marriage she was describing; everyone deserved a love like she had. Frowning slightly, despite her best efforts to keep her expression neutral, Elsie struggled over what she could possibly say. It was so hard, when they seemed like they were in very different spots.

"It's not foolish," She started with, because that much was certainly true. Just because she couldn't empathize, didn't meant she couldn't sympathize for the hurt her friend was feeling. "Have you expressed such desires to Mr. Darrow?" She really didn't know him all that well, but in her limited experience, he did seem a little hard to talk to. "How grateful you are, but still that something is missing? Maybe some charity work? Maybe a new hobby or something to study?" None of those should be frowned upon. Running a house was a lot of work, but it did not take all day. Caroline would certainly have time to pursue a passion. "It may not be an adventure, but might provide some fulfillment?"

She sighed softly and set her teacup down on the table between them. "I could, after this baby comes, teach you to become an animagus?" Elsie didn't share this fact often. She had worked for it for a long, long time with a very patient, experienced tutor, but hadn't used the skill much in the last couple of years. It was something of an adventure though.
