Do you? What is that?

*inside, Narcissa will find a pair of pale blue cashmere gloves and a matching scarf*
It's still cold out. I can't have you freezing to death. I saw them at Twilfits this morning.
Reply
*breathes out*
Oh they're beautiful, Bella!
*unfolds the scarf and drapes it around her neck, the colour pefectly accentuating her eyes*
*runs her hands over the gloves*

Do be sure to wear them. The mornings have been bitter of late, and if you catch chill you'll be hearing the ice maiden jokes forever.
Reply
Thank you.
*quiet laugh*
The ice maiden jokes will no doubt stay but they can be useful as you no doubt know.

*she studies her a moment then nods*
It's good to see you smile. I don't like to see you sad. It suggests I'm not doing all I should as your big sister.
Reply
Until they die, indeed.
*shakes her head, sobering*
I am not sad. I am annoyed. There is a difference. But I shall put things to right.
Reply
You are generally annoyed when things do not go as you think they should. And such an event tends to sadden you as well. My Cissy knows how she likes the world to be.
*she holds her hand up in front of herself, fingers spread, and examines her nails; her voice takes a distinctly nonchalant tone*
My loyalties lie with you, of course. But remember that small disputes can eat away at more more important matters.
*she flashes her a swift smile*
But most importantly, there's not a single thing in the world that can't be put right with Avada Kedavra.
What Bella is trying to say in a roundabout way is that she thoroughly disapproves of how Narcissa's being treated in the thread down below and will get involved if Narcissa wishes, but would like her sister to choose which battles actually matter. ^__^

I know how the world should be in some cases, yes. And in most cases it is not about trifles.
*nods a little*
I know that, Bella, and I understand it as well. I should like to deal with the small disputes myself if I can and should they become larger issues I will turn to my sister for advice.
*quiet laugh and she sets the gloves and scarf aside*
That is true, though its use may upset your husband and I would be loathe to do that as I do like him very much. And I'm not quite ready to be a widow yet. There is the matter of children which must come first.
Narcissa also disapproves of the treatment and seeing as how Lucius came running we will let Bella come if Cissa needs it. :)

Trifles are the foundations of wars. *she hesitates, eyes narrowing* Though I have to wonder what makes the hundreds and thousands? Corpses perhaps? One can only hope.
*she nods reasonably*
I know you understand. We were subjected to the same upbringing, and have both found ways around the roles in which the world would most happily see us.
*a crooked smile twists her lips*
A little residue, a little magic and a touch of clever timing, and one may quite easily be a widow before one is a mother.
Narcissa need only say the word then and Bella will get herself involved.
Reply
*smiles fondly at her*
Yes. We were.
*quiet laugh and she shakes her head, laying her hand on Bella's*
Being a widow would be easier than being a Mother, I think, particularly in our cases. But, I've not even been married a year yet, so the clever timing hasn't arrived.
Well, Cissa's being reasonable and spells haven't been cast so we're hoping it will go alright.

Oh you'll produce children. And whatever difficulty you are experiencing with Lucius will pass. And you'll be happy. Just as my little sister should be.
*she glances up at her*
Though I wonder if perhaps it is too soon yet to be thinking of such things. Allow the relationship to settle before... well, before the upheaval of pregnancy.
Reply
Thank you. I hope you're right.
*brow furrows*
But it's my duty to bear children. It's what I want too.
Reply
I'd never for one second advocate you not having children. But your marriage is still young. You and Lucius are still getting to know each other as a married couple. Be sure you know how the relationship will stand up to children. Know your battle before you fight it. Then, whatever happens, you are ready for it.
Reply
It is young, yes. As am I. And as usual, you are right, Bella. I- I just need him to be aware that I am not weak or foolish. I thought he knew but he clearly didn't understand.
Oooh lovely icon!
