Then, a thought crossed her mind, and her cheeks turned pink. What had she been thinking? Telling a house-elf she had been exploring? How cruel! She knew that house-elves couldn't explore like she could. They had to work all day. Oh, now she felt bad. She decided to keep her mouth shut about these things from now on.
"Well..." she continued slowly and carefully, in response to Toddles' question. "I've only been exploring because I'd like to find my way around as soon as possible. I've only been to a few places. Like... er... the kitchens, the Great Lake, and the old battlements."
She stopped before she could say anything more. She didn't want to upset Toddles.
The other house elvies must likely would have disagreed with such a statement but Toddles took her word as not to worry. He nodded in understanding and thought not much else about it.
Toddles eyes widened in wonders at the places that she had been. How exciting to have so much free time to explore and enjoy. He also liked to explore too but mostly got caught up with chores so Toddles had learned to become an expert at dodgings the other elvsies whens they were in the kitchens. He avoided that. The kitchens, the Lake, the battlements... It was a good starts to explorins. "
Toddles is glads that Missus has explorins arounds the castle. Toddles woulds suggests that Missus visits the Kitchens and the Arcade." The Arcade was Toddles' favoritist part of the castles, yes.
