[Elsa flinches a little at the anger in Asami's voice, but doesn't say anything. It's not pleasant, having friends be mad at (ex?)friends, but... she's not going to tell Asami she can't be upset about this. That would probably only make things worse.]

But she... isn't that how it works? That you just... tell someone how you feel about them? And not getting a definite answer from them... I can understand why that would be upsetting.

[That's how it worked in the stories, at least; confessions were always grand things that ended with the protagonists hooking up. Elsa realizes that relying on stories for advice on love is a bit silly, but... it's not like she ever had those kinds of talks with her parents.]

It's not as if I completely denied her feelings. I just... didn't know how to react.
