[They're absolutely tears of joy. Though Elsa only has one visible eye, it shines brightly, crinkling a little at the corner with how she smiles. Elsa is usually a rather reserved young woman, even when she's happy, so for her smile to nearly split her face like that... it's a good sign.
An even better sign as to how happy Elsa is would be when she sets the sword, back in its box, at the edge of her bed before throwing her arms around Cassandra's shoulders. The last time they hugged wasn't a very pleasant circumstance, but this time there's nothing but a calm, joyful air surrounding the nymph as she hugs her friend.]
Thank you. It can't fully express how I feel, but this means so much.
[To Elsa, that sword isn't just a sword; it might as well be a handmade gift, with how Cassandra designed it. It was a symbol for how far her training has come. Cassandra had given her something that can better help protect Anna and her friends, and though Elsa hopes she never has to use it... she'll be sure to, if the poachers ever come again.]
