WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE CHANNEL, QUEENOFICEOLATION. FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION, USE 013.11.221.20 *** QUEENOFICEOLATION has joined 013.11.221.20 <QUEENOFICEOLATION> I think I've finally gotten the hang of these devices. <QUEENOFICEOLATION> So! <QUEENOFICEOLATION> There's no harm in setting up one of these, yes? <QUEENOFICEOLATION> (Thanks to those of you who helped me do so and I'm sorry if I frustrated anyone) | ||||

Hey. I try.
[But there's no harm behind her word. Cassandra's smile actually cracks into a laugh.]
I'm sure you will, not that you have to. Letting me stay in the castle with you and Anna was a good start.
[...] And, you can just call me 'Cass'. If you want.
no subject
[It feels strange. Not in a bad way, of course. But it's so... personal. Is she really allowed to be that casual with Cassandra- Cass? Oh, this will take some getting used to...]
Oh please, that's nothing. There was no way I was going to let you stay out on the streets when I could've done something. It's just... what anyone would do.
no subject
Yeah I would have probably ended up attacking a car, or something.
[She shifts slightly, in tone and posture.]
I mean it. I'm not really... good with people, so having someone around that was from the same place as me helped.
[Two someones, of course.]
no subject
...To be fair, she was pretty startled by cars too! There's no judgement here, just humor!]
... You know, you say you're not good with people, but I don't think so. [.... She sounds serious.] It takes a lot to be able to speak your mind without caring what other people say. I... admire that attitude, actually.
[Maybe she wouldn't be as blunt as Cass is sometimes, but. The courage is what she really admires.]
no subject
...She would have absolutely attacked a car. It's a truth, stable and honest in her heart of hearts. Big, loud machines that can hurt you haven't had the best track record as of late in Corona. But then again, she was busy threatening shambling blobs of flesh as well, so.]
...You think so? To be honest, I'm not always... honest with everyone. I'll call it like I see it, sure, but opening up is... ehhh...
[She sounds serious as well, and Elsa should well by now why. She's heard the Rapunzel story.]
It's a lot easier speaking your mind when you don't have to talk about yourself.
no subject
[Even in this world of magical monsters, with people from all different worlds and dimensions with vastly different abilities they once harnessed... it's hard for Elsa to talk about herself. Her magic especially. But there are also people who have helped her be more open about things like that.
People like Cassandra.]
But it's easy to talk about things with you, Cassandra. I... I haven't told everyone about my magic, you know. But I didn't feel afraid to tell you.
no subject
She was trusted with something Elsa wasn't comfortable showing everyone else. Cass could understand wanting your own secrets, of course, even in a world as large and complicated as Ryslig. Hell, Elsa had been one of only a handful of people who learned which way Cassandra... leaned.]
Wow, I'm... honored, Elsa. [And rightfully so. She gets it.] But then again you are one of the only people I've ever told about Raps. So I think it evens out.
Really, I'm glad you're not afraid to talk to me. That's something people should do, I guess.
