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.]

Well, you could ask her? Or if you want it to be a surprise, you could certainly see if someone else can find out for you...

But if it turns out that you do have different preferences, perhaps you could do something of each.

[defyingfrigidity]

No, I'd rather not. Something like this... it needs to be a surprise. And I know she has friends, but I don't know how well they know her, so I'm a little nervous to ask... and besides, I don't want her finding out about all this.

[TOO LATE FOR THAT, IN HINDSIGHT....]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, in that case, did you make certain to filter your message so that she wouldn't see it, in that case? Otherwise she can view it as easily as anyone else...

[defyingfrigidity]

... Oh, right. I forgot these things could do that. [A sigh.] And here I thought I was used to them by now...

*chuckles lightly*

Well, in that case, it's probably safe to assume that if she doesn't know of your plans already, she most likely will soon.
