[arcanaeum]

[ At least this one is in the early evening. A little knot of worry undoes itself in his gut, the boy softly sighing before continuing. ]

Thanks. It's, ah...a little embarrassing. I need some advice.

[defyingfrigidity]

If it's embarrassing, I won't force you to tell me. But I'll do my best to help somehow.

[Elsa knows she's not the best advice-giver, but she's gotta try.]

[arcanaeum]

I appreciate it.

[ Okay. Serious time. There's a scuffle and the feeds turn to video. And...

Well, there's his face, somewhere around Route 32. His hair could be described as 'two car crashes bringing a cyclone into a threesome, then messing up the resultant baby'. He looks sheepish about it, but hey - who better to ask about this than someone with literal Disney Princess Hair? ]

How do you usually stop this when you're travelling?

[defyingfrigidity]

[There's a pause, then... oh no. She can't help but stifle a giggle a little, because that's adorable.]

I'm sorry, but there's nothing that can be done while you're out on the road. [Elsa's lucky, she can just braid and tie up her hair when it gets unruly while she's out traveling. But him? Not so much...] The Pokemarts in all the towns I've been to have been very reliable with products that can help you, though!

[arcanaeum]

[ He exhales quietly in his version of an exasperated sigh. A hand comes up from the bottom of the frame and tries to at least brush some of the leaves out of it. Thick hair problems. Not to mention showing them to a very pretty girl. ]

I'll have to stock up when I get to Azalea. Didn't think to get any before I left.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Despite her amusement, there is a good amount of sympathy in her expression too. If it wasn't for Anna being here for a few months before her, Elsa would've been in the same exact situation that Minato is in now. She was so used to others taking care of her needs that she had no idea how to take care of herself...]

If it helps at all, I can give you a list of the products I've found useful. I haven't traveled in quite a while, but I still use that I used back when I was more active.

[arcanaeum]

That'd help a lot. Thanks, Elsa.

[ He gives a little head-bow to the camera...which shakes leaves from his hair. The boy is a mess, and with no adorable little sister in sight to take care of him. ]

Where do you stay now? I'll make it up to you when I get there.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Well it looks like he'll just have to settle with a nice big sister instead!]

Hm? Oh, no! You don't have to do such a thing! I'm simply doing what everyone else who's been here as long as I have should do.

[arcanaeum]

[ onee-sama intensifies ]

That doesn't mean people do it. Besides, I'd like to.

[defyingfrigidity]

[She really can't say no to him, can she? Geez...]

If you insist... I live in Ecruteak City. I've been here for quite a while now.

[arcanaeum]

[ The obligation is strong in this one. Plus she's nice and he wants to be her friend. ]

Ah, cool. It'll be awhile until I get there...but I will when I do.

[defyingfrigidity]

Ah, right, you're on your way to Azalea... well. It will be some time, but I look forward to meeting you!

[arcanaeum]

Me too. I hope we can become good friends, Elsa.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Yep... that sure does make her just a little bit flustered. Elsa always had a pretty small circle of friends, so it's... not often that she hears something like that.]

O-Oh. Yes, I hope so as well.
