Daphne nodded. "With everything going on, we figured it would be a good idea. Especially after the pox." She wasn't exactly going to mention that the recent battle was just as big of a factor, even though it was. "Liam is positively adorable, and I think that this will make him happy."
She nearly choked when Padma mentioned the 'L' word - that just seemed to be popping up all over the place lately, didn't it. "It's amazing what one can find when you're not looking," she said, giving Padma a smile.
Daphne nodded, glad to change the subject. "I'm thinking about fixing up the drawing room, and maybe the library. The whole manor is a bit darker than I would like - it would be nice if I could soften it a bit. Oh! And the master bedroom could use a woman's touch I think."
That brought something to mind, and she couldn't help but laugh. "There's this terrible bird statue in the bedroom that just HAS to go, but I think it's cursed or something." She shook her head, still chuckling.
