I don't think it's better or worse. They're just... two situations where you followed what you believed to be your path of happiness. And with her... however this ends up, you shouldn't deny yourself love like that.

[She spent too long doing that to herself. Even in this world, she'd spent so long denying her feelings for Cass because of the idea that she had to marry some nobleman back home eventually. It's one reason it took so long for her to gather her courage to talk to her now-girlfriend.]

Kristoff... he's a good man. With or without your relationship with him, I love him like a brother. He and I share the desire to see you happy, no matter what, so I think... [She lets out a slow breath. It's hard to speak for others...] I think he would just want you to follow your heart. It might hurt, but seeing you happy might be enough to make him happy.

[rediscover]

Yes, I think you're right. Just.

[Knowing she'd been married to a woman once was one thing, but finding herself attracted to a woman makes it all feel so much more real. And now that she's flooded with all these feelings about Korra, it makes it hard to feel like what she'd had with Kristoff was genuine.]

Part of me wonders if I didn't just love him because he happened to be there. After Hans...Kristoff just sort of seemed like the reasonable option, I think.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa tilts her head a little as she listens to Anna speak, and it makes her wonder... is that what her feelings for Lup were? Was it just her reacting to the first affection of that sort directed her way that made her fall so fast for the other woman? It doesn't make those feelings any less real or valid, but... it's an interesting thought to have.]

I don't have the same sorts of experiences with love that you do, but I think... perhaps it was a bit of that, and a bit of genuine affection. Your feelings were real, but maybe you just hadn't grasped just what level of affection it was.

[rediscover]

Of course!

[Anna spins mid-stride, smacking her palm on her forehead. Dramatic as always.]

After the whole Hans thing I guess I was so eager to get over it I kinda...leapt to the next logical conclusion. And, hel, I love him. I totally do. Just sort of more in a...brother way.

[Oof. That's never fun to hear. The inevitable conversation is going to be difficult.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa laughs a little. Even in the grips of romantic tension, Anna's still just so... lively. Gods, she'll never get tired of watching her sister's antics.]

I... kind of understand how you feel. [Not the brother thing, but...] When the first sparks for my feelings for Cassandra started, I was a little worried it was just... my heart trying to force itself to move on from Lup. It was complicated, to feel like the target is just shifting, not disappearing.

[And as the two of them both know, just because the gates were open, it didn't magically take all their trauma away. It took time - three years, in some cases - to work through the problems that their isolation caused. It's no wonder Anna might've felt like she should just settle down with the first actual nice man who helped her.]

Kristoff is a good man. A kind, accepting man; I think as long as you're honest with him, he'll be okay. [The smile on Elsa's face shifts, to something a bit more fond.] After all, when he first approached me for my blessing, he said that all he wants is for you to be happy.

[rediscover]

[Normally, Anna might take a moment to needle her sister about Lup; she misses the Taaco twins terribly, but she's still sort of delighted that the whole Lup thing even happened. But at the moment, she's a little too preoccupied by her own inner turmoil to crack a joke. Or maybe that's just growth?

Instead, she reaches out and squeezes her sister's hand, briefly.]

I think you're right. Also, can we just agree that the chemistry between him and Ryder was insane?

[defyingfrigidity]

[There's a pause. Silence. Then Elsa bursts out into a snorting giggle of laughter.]

Anna! Wow! Just how long have you been thinking that about your husband?!

[She tries to sound scandalized, but she's just. Laughing too much. It's so different than how Elsa used to be, before the coronation; there's no restraint at all in how she laughs, at the way her smile stretches full and her eyes crinkle with mirth. Just.... happiness. Pure and unfiltered.]

[rediscover]

[Anna's laughing, too, peals of laughter chiming in alongside her sister's.]

Look, I can't help it! Did you see the two of them together, I mean, come on.

[It's...so nice. To be able to just laugh with her sister. Forget about Ryslig nonsense, just for a minute. Overhead, the trees whisper their own leafy laughter. The two nymphs being in a good mood is infectious, it seems.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[It's like they're caught in their own little world, among the presence of countless trees and plants. Some might find it a bit eerie, but to Elsa, it's... comfortable. They're not being watched, but guarded. Protected against the outside world, if just for a little while.]

To be fair, I was rather... um. Busy, talking. Elsewhere. [Look cut her a break there was a pretty girl who was enamored with her magic talking to her.] But from what I did see, they befriended each other surprisingly fast! I'm glad Kristoff has a friend who can really understand his whole...

[She waves her hands vaguely.]

Reindeer thing.

[rediscover]

Uh-huh. I seem to remember. [Anna can't help but poke a little fun at her sister, but she doesn't linger on it. After all, it seems unfair to Cass, even if neither her or Elsa seem to have remembered any of Ryslig at all during the time they were home.

She lets out a very unladylike snort.]

Yeah, the reindeer thing. It's, y'know, good to have friends with similar hobbies, if nothing else!
