It was hard to not be attracted to the charisma of Noah's brother. It was like the way she imagined Noah when he had stopped being like the animal and more like the human, however he was far from that still. It wasn't that she was attracted to Ryon, but rather the image of him, the idea that one day perhaps her husband would be more like him.

In their room with her heading to the window, she wriggled a finger through the curtain to view outside, and out there lay the other house, the moonlight, the men preparing their wagon to leave, and the dim light of the lantern that greeted them. Isabella spoke up, which caused Elann to abandon her viewing and turn to face her more.

"Okay," she said with a smile and part of her wanted to go help in the kitchen, to not let her mother-in-law lift a finger, but she knew they were having dinner for her and Noah. 

Noah left her then to continue his investigation of the room as Elann closed the door more to latch it shut. She wanted the privacy. Not sure of the family dynamic and Noah's wishes for her to shut up about things she didn't know about, Elann kept to herself about him going over his brother's things. 

Moving to he chest, she opened it to snag her brush and went to find the box containing her earrings. The box was in the bottom so she lowered to her knees and reached in. Once she found them, there was a moment of appreciating them and viewing them as she treasured them greatly; then came some short brushing to undo what the wind had done, and then they went to her ears. Elann thought about who she was having dinner with and elected to remain without makeup for the sake of scents and such things, but should the company have been different, she would have considered putting some on. 

Shortly after, she looped her string from the personal care items and by looking into the mirror began to shape her eyebrows as she had done usually once a week. No hair grew upon her body elsewhere unlike some women who had to shave and pluck for longer periods of time. The turmeric baths when she was a pre-teen ensured that her body had no hair, which was why she was so smooth and soft to touch, and also why she was often cold. Looking more like herself like she would look most days in the city, rather than someone who just got off a wagon, Elann felt better and put everything away before standing to see what her husband was doing.
