Felicity wanted to tell Ms. Pearl that she shouldn't make promises she couldn't keep. The world everyone else lived in was so different than her own. Felicity could play around in it, but when it came down to it, elven traditions always outweighed personal desire.
"Have you had children?" Felicity asked Ms. Pearl. She often saw the way she reacted to others. Unlike Ms. Edouard who acted sweet and kind but was an imbecile, Ms. Pearl exuded something that Felicity saw a bit in Galad's mother. The Baronness wasn't a beacon of motherly affection, but she did show love for her children. The Yule that Felicity spent with them had been a glimpse to what she lacked so much of her childhood.
