Not enjoying Noah's emotional downness, she wondered what was bothering him. Was it being around his brother and sisters? Was it having to stay in Donovan's room? She really didn't know. Whatever it was, it faded quickly along with his physical tiredness. For the most part, she had been ignoring his sickness as much as she could through the bond over the last few days so as not to feel utterly destroyed. 

"So, you are making a lot of needles and nails right now then?" she asked, figuring an apprentice blacksmith wouldn't really make many suits of armor or anything important like a sword. Perhaps small things? It was a shot in the dark, something her husband didn't enjoy her really doing. Perhaps Ryon would not like her assuming things, even if in question.

From what Elann imagined, they were all furious in temper and hard to deal with except for Aimee and Isabella, but seeing the charisma of Ryon, she wasn't sure that thought process was right.

Isabella came back and evaluated. As she did, Elann commented. "It smells nice, and that pie looks good."

Elann had yet to make a pie, but didn't figure it too hard given she baked many things. Isabella commented about her earrings and it caused a brilliant smile to come over Elann's face. 

"Oh, thank you. Not too much. I didn't even wear any makeup or anything. I just brushed my hair and got cleaned up a little."

They began to get things ready, and already she knew she was forbidden from asking to help. She just hoped that didn't last and she would feel useful as a guest in the house. She finished her tea and refrained from the reading of them.
