Getting stuck at the library later than she would have liked had never really bothered Elsie before she had something, someone, to get home to. Now it was an entirely different story and though she normally beat Tyb home, she knew that would would not be the case tonight.

She had a small stack of books to read in her arms, Elsie was pretty sure she had read the entire section on parenting and motherhood, but she thought maybe something on midwifery would help her to understand what it was that was going to happen to her body over the next several months. Best to be prepared after all.

Thinking about what she had to make for dinner that night, Elsie rounded the corner to the flat when she found her husband taking a swing at her cousin. Shocked, Els stopped dead, watching the two of them for a moment. She knew Tyb was angry about what Sebastian had said and she knew Sebastian had the annoying habit of being antagonistic when he wanted to be, but honestly.

There would be no brawling however, and Elsie stood up to her full stature, channeling her mother as she marched up the street toward the pair. "Get. In. The. House. Now." She hissed, just barely resisting the urge to grab both of them by the ear like the the little boys they were acting like. "Both of you." She added, as she gave Sebastian a look that clearly said, do not make me ask twice.. Without leaving room to argue, she unlocked the door to the building and stormed inside.
