[There's a pause, but only a brief one. After all, Henry was so open to her.... it's only fair that she's open to him in return.]

The anniversary of my coronation is very soon. That in itself wasn't a bad thing. It was a good party, really! But...

[Another short pause.]

Until then, I was hiding my powers away from everyone, including my sister. Nobody knew about them, because my father and I were afraid the people would react negatively. I'd had... a lot of trouble controlling them, before then... mostly under times of extreme pressure.

So when Anna and I had an argument right there in the middle of the party, there was an... accident. My powers flared up without my permission.[Her shoulders slump a bit. She's still ashamed of that, of how easily she could've killed someone...] I panicked, and ran away, and... something happened.

I don't know how, but my magic... it cursed my kingdom. Even in the middle of summer, snow began to fall, and it just kept getting colder and colder...

[oh no. oh noooooo. Right from the beginning Henry can completely understand where she's coming from -- in their first conversation, they talked about this... he was never one to hide his magic. People reacted negatively. Henry got pissed off, everyone died. And then Anna came into Elsa's picture, and she lost her home, and oh god why.]

[He just sits there for a few moments, attempting to register the information she'd just given him and realizing that she told him before and he FORGOT. He's making no attempt to hide the shock and dread on his face.]

...I... I'm sorry.

[Henry's voice is pathetically weak.]

I'm really really really sorry...

[defyingfrigidity]

It...

[She has to stop herself from saying it's okay, because it's obviously not, considering Elsa's earlier post and how her voice wavers as she speaks.]

It all turned out all right in the end, and everyone was okay. But even so... I think-- no, I know I must have upset a lot of people after all that. And I might have hurt a lot of people as well.

[cawsforalarm]

...But you said everyone was okay.

[now is not the time for battle flashbacks, grima make them stop--]

Anyway, um. It doesn't mean much, but I... know how you feel. I guess.
