Elladora quirked an eyebrow. She had hardly covered herself in glory on that particular morning: drenching Ursula in bed just to prove she was still alive before babbling emotionally and finally instigating the kiss Ursula was so sorry for now. There were many things her sister-in-law had gotten wrong in her life but it seemed unnecessarily cruel to let her dwell on the things that were not her fault at all.
Especially when anything Ursula had ever done to her paled in comparison to what she had done to Ursula. A child she would never know lived in the world and Elladora had no intention of changing that anymore – it would only muddy the waters and Merlin, it was hardly as though their relationship was straightforward anyway!
“I do not recall that being entirely your doing,” she replied, reaching to take Ursula’s hand in a bid to draw her gaze, smile tighter than her grasp. “There is no need to apologise. I’m sure in due course we will come to laugh about it as a foolish moment where we were both carried away with nightmares that didn’t come to pass.”
