[True, Cassandra had roughed herself up pretty good around that age, either through general mayhem, or picking a fight with others before she learned just when and where to do that. Looking back on it, Cassandra was... well, being ashamed of it was wrong, she was a kid! But she learned eventually, at one of Corona's many beaches, that sort of thing had to be toned down.

But Elsa had been... close to how Cass saw her now. So composed as a child... if as panicked and lost as they all were. When Cassandra offered to protect her, she didn't even know she was a princess.]

Oh-Oh. [Elsa may have the pleasure of a different complexion to hide any blushing, but Cass's complexion was just as pale under her fur as it was back home. And right now her face was heating up just a bit.

She made Elsa feel safe? Well... Yeah, of course.]

Of course, that's what I'm here for, remember? [She scoffed gently, but resumed her slightly down look.] But I remember everything that happened. So, I remember trying to... grab your hand, and you pulled back like you were on fire.
