Elsie smiled softly at Penny. The deal was almost sealed, she and Tyb just had to figure a few details out and then they'd talk to her mum and hopefully things would progress easily from there. Hopefully. Elsie had the intention of becoming Mrs. Kirke one way or another and if that meant eloping, well so be it. "Thanks," It was nice to get that off her chest somewhere, even if she'd shocked poor Penny into a stunned kind of stupor.

"You would have found out eventually, I assume your mother would have told you before you got married?" Elsie assume her own mother would and that discussion was still probably looming in her near future. How amusing that would be. Elsie wondered if she'd be able to keep a straight face.

"It's nothing to worry about, I promise." She assured her friend eagerly, hoping Penny wasn't concerned in any way.
