Third Flake [video]

[One day, Elsa will make a post to the network that doesn't involve questioning everyone. Today? not really one of those days.]

I'm sorry I've asked so many questions every time I post messages here. After being here for over a month, one would think that I knew enough to not need to ask so many questions. But this is just... something I haven't seen before. So I have to ask.

[The camera shifts from Elsa's face down to her lap. Wriggling happily upon it, nose pushing against her palm as it snuffles curiously, is a Dratini. But there's something a little.... odd about it.]

Do pokemon come in different colors? From what I've been able to tell with others of the species I've seen, it hasn't been the case, but this little one hatched today, and she's.... different, from the pictures I've seen of this species. Is this normal?

I was thinking about it a little bit, and you know that one Pokemon, Shellos? It's blue and green when you find it on this side of the region, like on the Violet City side and to the east of it. But on the other side, closer to Goldenrod and all that? It's actually pink and white! But when I looked into it, as far as I can tell, Shellos and its evolution are the only Pokemon like that for some reason...so it looks like you've got a special case on your hands!

[Anna, of course, is completely in love with it, too...she's been gushing over the little sweetheart since she hatched.]

...Which is kinda fitting, isn't it, Elsa? I mean, leave it to a super-one-of-a-kind person to get a super-one-of-a-kind Pokemon, and, like, she's so cute, too, she's such a pretty shade of pink and she's so full of energy and I bet she thinks you're her mommy too...

[Elsa can't help but blush at the "one of a kind" compliment. Even after hearing all of Anna's praise since their reunion... Elsa still really isn't used to it.]

I'm going to have quite the odd brood of children by the time we return to Arendelle, won't I? Here's hoping Olaf and Marshmallow won't get jealous.

[loveisanopendoor]

We both will, I think. We're gonna have to make sure there's plenty of space in the castle for all of them! And I mean, there are still so many Pokemon that we haven't seen...who knows what kind of awesome ones we'll find the further we go? I think it'll be really exciting, Elsa!

Still, though, make sure you don't spoil the little sweetheart too much, okay?

[She bends down and kisses the baby Dratini on the forehead..]

I don't think Olaf's the type to get jealous. But you might have to visit Marshmallow a little more often...still, he's just a big baby himself, really.

[defyingfrigidity]

Good thing the castle's right by the shores of the fjord. Otherwise we might have had to commission a moat to be built, so Marlin and Freya can swim comfortably.

[Elsa gives a rather un-queenly little snort at Anna's comment about spoiling. Meanwhile the Dratini in her lap squeaks happily and nuzzles against Anna's cheek after she kisses her.]

you're really trying to lecture me about spoiling my companions? You, the one who babied a fish so much that when it evolved into a giant sea serpent, it still acted like an oversized housecat?

[loveisanopendoor]

Maybe some kind of a nice big pond inside, so they can swim indoors without too much of an issue...

[Now it's Anna's turn to let out a bit of a laugh as Elsa makes her counterpoint, scratching behind her head as she does...there's no point in arguing against that; she's guilty as charged and she knows it.]

...Well, you've got me there. But he did turn out awfully cute because of it! I actually don't think I spoiled him enough!

[defyingfrigidity]

Hm... but where could we put it, though? The only place big enough is the ballroom, and we can't exactly get rid of that...

[Oh gosh the Dratini is just loving the attention. Now it's making soft, almost purring noises, arching into Anna's hand.]

Oh, that I won't deny at all. I just find it funny that you're trying to tease me about it when you know I can tease you right back.

[loveisanopendoor]

But that's half the fun of us teasing each other, isn't it? I love it when we go back and forth with that sort of thing...

[That Dratini is just way too cute...]

We could always make it into a pool that has a wooden cover over it for when we need it for banquets!

[defyingfrigidity]

Hm, I don't know about that.... it could be dangerous. What if we had a lot of people visiting? The cover might break! And I doubt everyone would appreciate a fancy ball suddenly turning into a pool party.

[loveisanopendoor]

We'd have to make sure it's pretty reinforced...but I mean, an indoor swimming pool doesn't seem like a bad idea in and of itself! We'll talk to Gerda and Kai about it!
