Ursula couldn't imagine why Elladora would want to wake up at such an inhospitable hour nor why she would want to take herself for a walk around the house but it seemed a very restless thing to do and what were spinsters if not restless? Ursula decided it was plausible enough, although she couldn't quite shake the suspicion that maybe her sister-in-law did check in on her, just to make sure she was where she was supposed to be.

Her eyes began to wander in search of wherever she'd left her wand last night; if Elladora wasn't going to produce her own to dry her off then she'd see to it herself. She was distracted from her mission, however, by what she said next. Ursula locked eyes with the other woman and furrowed her brow as she tried to figure out what had prompted it. There was no doubting what dream she was referring to, it could only be the dream that had triggered the recurring nightmare that had pushed her to sleeping draughts. Did that mean Elladora now took it seriously? Had that been why she'd drenched her so readily?

She fixed her gaze earnestly upon her. "Does that mean you believe me now?" She assumed Elladora meant only that she'd been dwelling on it in her waking hours, it seemed unlikely at best that she would be plagued by unpleasant dreams. There was a quality to her voice that did give her pause, however. "Or will you wait until I'm on my deathbed?" At this her voice grew bitter and she turned her face away. She was annoyed with herself for so readily jumping to the conclusion that the other woman might now be taking her seriously and annoyed with Ella herself for dismissing her in the first place.
