"I can only imagine. But I'm glad that everything worked out for you." Elphaba smiled. She did wonder what it was like to have something like that. Yes, she loved her sister, had always done everything she could to help her until the whole Boq thing happened, but she also had an intense jealousy of Nessa. Nessa had always been the perfect child, the one their father loved. Actually, he wasn't really Elphaba's father, she had to keep reminding herself of that. All the neglect and abuse she'd taken from Frexspar had been a far cry from the normal definition of family life and love.
But instead of dwelling on it and letting it turn her mood sour, Elphaba looked up and saw an ice cream shop. "Aha! This place has the best ice cream in town. Do you want some? They have pretty much every flavor you can think of, and then some." She hadn't even realized how they'd gotten here, she'd just been walking and talking and listening, occasionally pointing out the landmarks. How time flew!
