Again, he looked properly abashed and Elsie was satisfied with his answer. She hated being like this, that it had put them at odds, but she really hadn't expected any of that to come from Sebastian. Lucinda, or her mother yes, but not him. They were supposed to understand one another without having to have a go at one another like this. Elsie honestly couldn't even remember a time when words had ever gotten heated between them, not in their twenty-five years on Earth together.
"I just need somebody to be," She said finally, deflated once again from the unease that had swelled up within her. "Mother is mad, father is quiet and frankly I haven't even met Tyb's father yet." That would be interesting for sure. Els had met both of his older siblings, but nothing of his father's newer additions. "I'm still waiting to hear from Lucinda." That was going to be an interesting discussion, certainly, but there was no way that she was going to stay quiet on this matter. That would be impossible for the family's Most Outspoken Member.
