Sixth Flake [video]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa looks a lot more subdued than usual - especially compared to her last video - when she begins recording, staring out the window of the little apartment she and Anna had begun renting for their stay in Goldenrod. It's snowing, this time with no help from her, and she's just watching the flakes drift lazily past.]

I know this may sound like an odd question, but... how do you go about celebrating things you haven't really acknowledged in a very long time? Birthdays, holidays, things like that... It feels strange to just go ahead and do it and act like the lack of celebrations in years past never happened. Wrong, almost, to completely dismiss such a long amount of time like that.

It seems rather difficult to make a special event even more special. Does that make sense at all?

[She's not even thinking about her own upcoming birthday (on the 21st!) at all. But Christmas is coming up... the first Christmas in thirteen years that the sisters will be spending together. She wants Anna's first real Christmas since she was five to be perfect, or at least as perfect as Elsa can make it. She just... has no idea how to do that.]

[Yeah, but it's kind of cute to watch him smack into walls and stuff. Like a dog chasing a toy.]

Um... what kind of stuff do you like about the holidays? Focus on that.

[defyingfrigidity]

[...Er...]

Nothing. I haven't celebrated anything like this in over thirteen years. We were just children the last time we celebrated, and we've changed now, so...

[paopuprincess]

Nothing? Not, like, giving presents to your friends and family, or all the delicious food?

[There's something for everyone, come on.]

[defyingfrigidity]

My parents would sometimes get me books, or some new clothes, but there were never any celebrations.

[It was upsetting at the time, yeah, but Elsa's just.... learned to deal with how things were. So it doesn't bother her much right now as she talks about it.]

[paopuprincess]

Oh, now I get it.

[She shakes her head.]

Come on, you can't say you don't like anything about a holiday if you've never celebrated it before! That's the whole point!
