maskormenacelogs | Sister to sister, heart to heart...

WHO: Anna and Elsa
WHERE: Anna's house (#001)
WHEN: After Elsa returns from her trip to Norway
WHAT: Big sister brought Anna a souvenir. Anna wanted to see her in person.
WARNINGS: Angst

Once Anna hung up with Elsa, she got permission to leave work early. She raced home, fast as she could. The suggestion that she needed to clean up wasn't truthful but she figured a few efforts to make it seem honest couldn't hurt. Really, whatever it took to guarantee Elsa stopping by. Anna hadn't seen her sister in months and that had felt far too long. It reminded her of their estrangement before arriving in this world. Such memories were painful and Anna couldn't help wanting for more. Her heart was already frozen, what more damage could be done?

So Anna waited, trying her best to not appear overly excited when Elsa arrived. She pulled the door open with a smile, trying not to actually squeal. In spite of herself, Anna reached out to hug Elsa, wanting terribly to show her sister just how much she cared.

"Welcome back!"

"I don't know yet. I guess I'll find out when we spend time together? Apparently there's things normal teenagers do, whatever that means?"

Anna shrugged. There was so much about modern life she didn't totally understand. She was willing to learn though, that much was evident by the enthusiastic smile she had explaining it all.

"She's lovely. Her world isn't like this future one, though not quite like ours either."

"That's what she was telling me."

Elsa is still thinking on the "normal teenager" thing. It's true that neither of them had a normal upbringing, between Elsa's isolation and the whole "royalty" thing, but she still doesn't know what all there must be involved.

"Maybe you'll just go shopping and talk about boys." She thinks she saw something like that on TV the other day.

"And something about games with videos? I don't know the televisions apparently do all sort of stuff!"

At the mention of boys, Anna flushes and glances to the side. Not only is her track record utterly abysmal, and she doesn't know just how much of the details regarding Hans Elsa now knows, but. Well.

There might be someone else she likes. And that's super awkward and could it be? Anna might actually be just a little shy about it.

"She talks a lot. More than me even, can you believe that?"

Not a smooth subject change. Not at all Princess Pink Cheeks.

Mm-hmm. Elsa might be abysmal at social interaction, but she sees that blush. And she has a feeling she knows who that blush is for.

She doesn't have as much to object to this time around. They've known each other longer this time, and no one is bringing their gaggle of brothers over to visit. As long as she's right about who she thinks it is.

But she graciously lets Anna have change that subject.

"That is hard to believe." Sometimes she can sass. "But at least you shouldn't run out of things to talk about."

There's a giggle from Anna at her sister's quick agreement. It's true though. Denying the princess' chatty nature would be pointless. Making a playful face, Anna sticks out her tongue anyways. A crass gesture, to be sure, one she's picked up from her housemates and new friends in Heropa.

"Hah! I suppose not. Anyways, there is just so much more to this world to learn. Every time I feel like I get a step or two ahead, a infinite world of possibilities makes itself known."

And, given how little Anna knew about their own world back in Arendelle, beyond what could be read in books, the modern world was unending by comparison.

"You could come out with us sometime, you know. If you wanted?"

She chuckles at Anna's rude gesture, hiding it behind a hand and trying to look annoyed (and failing). She has to agree with Anna, silently - this world is so big and amazing, and there's so much to see. Elsa hadn't seen anything outside her four walls either, but she was more hesitant to go exploring.

She still wanted to see it though.

But Anna's proposal distracts her from such thoughts. Her smile falls a little and she glances down at her lap.

"...I'll think about it."

At least it's not an outright refusal. She's gone out a little with other people, so maybe it will be fine?

She's not sure. Other people can't get her worked up the way Anna can.

"That's fine!" Anna responded, probably far too cheery and smiling far too much.

It was sad, really, just how much even the slightest, faintest hope would send the younger Arendelle girl's heart soaring. Some part of her still remembered their childhood and hoped it could be that way again. Anna didn't expect it ever would but. Well. That's what hope is all about. The slim chance things could get better.

Taking a deep breath, Anna tried to suppress her typical excited babbling. She didn't want to scare her sister off and that seemed to be a theme between them lately.

"You just. Think about it. Yeah. And then we can talk again about it."

"Alright."

She glances around the room, then stands up.

"Well, it's getting late, and I should go."

It's really not getting late, but the conversation has taken a turn that has Elsa wanting to run. She hates that she's this way, because she doesn't want to disappoint Anna, but can't put her in danger anyway.

"It was nice, seeing you today."

She starts to back towards the door.
