Fourth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod]

[defyingfrigidity]

[For once, when the 'gear flickers on, it doesn't show a hopelessly confused or concerned Elsa. This is good!! Very good.

Instead, there's a great look of excitement on the former queen's face. On her shoulder, a Kirlia clings to her shirt, eyes wide in the slats between its little helmet, mirroring its trainer's expression perfectly. Behind them, the massive buildings and skyscrapers of Goldenrod City can be seen, windows glinting in the afternoon sun.]

This is amazing! Don't you think so, Frigga?

[For someone who normally tries to stay as reserved as she possibly can while communicating over these devices, the sound of such unbridled wonder in her voice may be a bit of a change to hear.]

I didn't know buildings could get this tall... I've read about great castles and palaces in books and such, but I've never heard of anything as tall as this. [She smiles, turning to Frigga.] It sure is something, isn't it?

[Frigga smiles and nods, making a happy noise. Elsa then turns back to the gear.]

Are a lot of cities in this land this... big? Violet and Azalea were both decent enough, but they're nowhere near as extravagant as this city!

[There's a pause, then Elsa looks somewhat sheepish as she realizes just how excited she was just acting. O-Oh dear, and so many people saw...]

I'm sorry if I sound rather.... eager. But things like this... buildings and architecture and such... I've always had a fascination with them. And structures like this never got this big in Arendelle...

Are there more cities like this? Ones with interesting or unique architecture? [Boy, she sure does seem pretty darn eager...] Even if they're not anything like this... I'd like to know what cities to look forward to visiting!

[Oh Elsa, your inner nerd is shining through so beautifully...]

Making more friends, Elsa?

[It looks like Anna finally managed to find the Center! And gosh, was it a trip...but hey, she's seen this semi-creepy yet decisively tragic individual somewhere before!]

[cawsforalarm]

[When he hears Elsa's name called, Henry turns his head to look at the newcomer, and-- that girl... looks familiar...]

Hey! You're... do I know you?

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh!

[Great timing, Anna. Things were just starting to get super awkward...]

Henry, this is my sister, Anna. [She smiles, turning from him to her sister.] Anna, this is Henry. A friend.

[loveisanopendoor]

You were the guy who seemed really excited over the creepy game! It's nice to finally meet you, though. Any friend of Elsa's is a friend of mine, after all!

[She smiles right back!]

[cawsforalarm]

Um...

[Give him a moment.]

Oh. Oh! Okay, got it.

I wouldn't peg mew two as sisters, though! I had no idea!

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa laughs at that.]

We are very different, aren't we? I don't blame you for not realizing it right away...

[loveisanopendoor]

We're similar enough where it counts, I think! I mean, I'd like to think that, anyway...

[She giggles along with Elsa..]

Have you been here in Goldenrod for long, Henry?

[cawsforalarm]

Where does it count?

[He smiles at them both.]

Anyway, a long time. I pretty much went here right after I arrived, 'cause there was someone I know living in Goldenrod.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh? Do you have a friend from home in this land too, Henry?

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, we both have incredibly charming and selfless, tender personalities!

I don't think that's too far-fetched, though. It seems like a really popular spot...most of the people I met when I first showed up on the gear told me Goldenrod was a great place. Even Cynthia was here when I first showed up!

[cawsforalarm]

Mmhm, my daughter was here. It was kind of a no-brainer.

[He glances over at Anna.]

Oh, you know her?
