defyingfrigidity | Tenth Flake [video]

[When the video flocks on, it shows Elsa, looking... a bit thoughtful. Not in a moody way like she was in her last post, judging by the lack of any trouble on her face, but.... it takes a moment for her to realize the recording started before she speaks.]

I checked the date today, and I only just realized something. Today is the one year anniversary of my arrival in Johto. [There's a pause, and she laughs, looking a bit embarrassed.] I promise this won't be as messy as the last time I talked about an "anniversary". That... got a little bit out of hand.

[A shake of the head, and with a sigh, her embarrassment fades.]

I've just... been thinking a lot today. The things I've done here, the people I've met.... they changed me. In ways I don't think I would've been able to change back home. I've learned a lot about the world and other people, and even discovered some things about myself I didn't know before. All thanks to the people here.

I suppose I should thank all of the people I've talked to here. Even if we've only spoken once, you've done much to help me, and for that, I'm forever grateful.

She smiles, then, a bright and brilliant thing.]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

Elsa...

[ How to break it to her that she sort of figured that was the case...even so, though, Anna's still all smiles as she wraps her arms around her sister again. ]

That's so cute! I'll be honest, I never really could picture you being with a guy anyway. But you have to understand, don't think I'm gonna go easy on whoever ends up being your girlfriend one day just because they're a girl! If she so much as looks at you funny, she's gonna get it!

[ Is she joking...... ]

C-Cute?

[Elsa doesn't mind Anna hugging her, but she doesn't hug back just yet. SHE'S JUST... SURPRISED THIS IS GOING SO WELL...]

Well, you'll be waiting to use the protective little sister card for a while. The chances of me finding a... g-girlfriend... are relatively low.

Don't say that! I'll be the best wing-girl you could ever ask for, you just wait and see! The girls will be all over you!

Wing... what?

It's, um, just a fancy word for a girl who helps put in the good word for you with the person you like...

... Such strange phrases in this land...

B-But you don't have to worry about that. Since there's nobody here I'm interested in, you don't need to put in a word to anyone.

I know, right?! I don't even know what some of this stuff means. Like, what the heck do you think a "bae" is? It's not, like, the water kind, either!

If you say so, though...

A... "bae"? [She tries to think of that, then shakes her head.] I have no clue.

[She lets out a huff.]

And I do say so. So end of subject, yes?

Me either! I'll have to look into it a bit...

[ Sure, Elsa. ]

Fiiine, fine...but if you do find one, you'll let me know, right?

[R U D E????]

... Of course I will.

[People she knows she has absolutely no chance with don't count.]

You prooomise?

You're really doubting my word, Anna?

[SHHH SHE'S TOTALLY NOT DODGING THE QUESTION]

I just like being double certain!

Well you don't need to be! I meant what I said, Anna. Trust me.

[still no promising though....]

I trust you! I just, y'know. Didn't hear you promise, is all.

I'm your queen and your older sister. I shouldn't have to promise anything to you.

[GEEZ, SO DEFENSIVE]

Goodness, so cold...

I-I'm just saying....! There's no need to make me discuss my personal life when nothing is ever going to change concerning it!

Ever? That's an awfully bleak attitude to have. I'm sure there'll be someone..

W-Well there isn't. [... Wait no.] I mean... there won't be. Not here, at least.

Why do you say that? I mean, you never really know, right? You can't help who you fall for, after all.

[.... Ahahahaha oh Anna if you only knew.]

I'm sure it's possible. In some cases, at least.

Well, in my experience, it's something that can really blindside you. That's all I'm saying.

[Elsa seems to have mellowed out after that batch of teasing. She's still smiling, but her shoulders have slumped ever so slightly...]

Okay, well. I promise I'll tell you if there's anyone from this point forward that catches my eye. Deal?

[That way Anna gets her promise and Elsa doesn't have to tell her about The Crush That Can Never Be]

[ Don't think she doesn't see that loophole, but...well, if Elsa doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't want to talk about it, she supposes. ]

Okay, Elsa. Deal.
