[Elsa may not have known Rohan as long as Anna and Lorna have, but there are some things she's gotten used to. The way he smiles like that is one of them, and she can't help but smile the same way in return. She may have a lot of misgivings about the gods of this land, but Rohan... she trusts him, and that's enough for her to push away those misgivings for now.]
I hope she'll never be put into a situation where such a thing would be necessary. I've always tried my hardest to protect her, but in a land such as this... [Her smile fades a bit as she looks down at her hands; her green claw-tipped hands.] Even taking my new self into account, I don't know if I can.
[And that scares her more than anything. But she can't let that show right now, so she just shakes her head and tries to force that smile back on her face.]
... It means a lot to me, truly, that you care about Anna to the point where you ask your God to protect her. I... I know that's simply what friends do, but if there's anything I can do to repay you for that gift...
