Eyebrows raised in mild shock Elladora tucked her wand safely away and put down her coffee cup with a small clink. The insult barely permeated, it was hardly the first Ursula had ever slung in her direction and if her sister-in-law was going to resort to commenting upon her age then she really wasn’t trying hard enough, but Ursula’s clear agitation was much more worthy of analysis.
Point one: Ursula was clearly pregnant. If she wasn’t then Elladora couldn’t fathom why she would be so incensed by the accusation and any shadow of a doubt she had possessed had flitted away.
Point two: Ursula was also clearly quite put out by this pregnancy. This wasn’t surprising – Elladora paled at the thought of even one creature sucking life from her so the prospect of a sixth had to be deeply unpleasant.
Point three: Ursula had not admitted it yet and was perilously close to vanishing before she did, which would never do. Elladora wanted answers and by Merlin she intended to get them, even if she had to try a different tract.
“I’ll consider it,” she said dryly. “In the meantime, perhaps you’d be good enough to tell me what I am not seeing?”
