<div style="text-align: justify;">Ellinor felt just a little uncomfortable as she noticed Felix's surprised expression. Had she done something wrong? Had she said something inappropriate? The young woman was wondering, since she wasn't the most social person in the land. And, of course, they both had come from very different social settings, so something that might have been perfectly acceptable for one of them might be a terrible offense for the other one.<br/><br/>When Felix chuckled, Ellinor relaxed a little. It seemed as though he was not offended or upset. That was good, as Ellinor would not want to offend her new friend. At least a temporary friend, up until they reached her house and he returned to his own home and his own world. When Felix echoed her words, Ellinor blushed a little. She felt that she might have overstepped some boundaries. Still, the words had already left her lips, and she could not call them back. "Well, I am happy that you do not wish to argue", Ellinor replied with a grin, trying to hide her embarrassment at the kiss on her hand.<br/><br/>Once her embarrassment lifted just a little, Ellinor resumed her usual behavior and tried to pretend it had not happened. At least for a while, for as long as she possibly could. "Well, we must leave the cold, then", she replied to his comment, trying not to approach his comment on worrying his servants. Having servants at all was so far from Ellinor's reality that she didn't even know how to comment on it. And, as she was so withdrawn from the local society and unaware of the local gossip - except for the one regarding her own life -, Ellinor had yet to know that Felix had been looking for a wife.<br/><br/>Falling silent for a while, Ellinor led Felix through the path that went across the small area where she lived, and stopped in front of a small and neatly kept cottage. After listening for any sounds inside, the girl seemed a little relieved. There was nobody inside, lucky for her. And him, probably. Ellinor really didn't want to deal with her father right now. All she wanted was a break from troubles and worries. Opening the door, the girl waited for Felix to get into the modestly furnished room, while she moved to get a fire going to ward off the cold.</div>
