[Elsa's hands, so gently working at Angel's leafy hair, still for a moment.

Agnarr is... a sensitive subject. For all of her life, Elsa did her very best to model herself after her father. She wanted to be the good girl he always wanted her to be, she wanted to be the brave and strong leader that he always was. He was her idol, who she thought could do no wrong.

But as she grew, as his expectations of her grew... it was hard. They'd had disagreements over how he kept Anna confined as well as her. And Anna... bringing in the idea that Agnarr wasn't a good father, and throwing the proof that he'd hurt both of them at her...

It's hard. She's still sorting her feelings out.]

He... didn't, no. My father had no supernatural abilities of his own. Magic in Arenelle was seen as something from fairy tales. Mythological stories. Nobody really knew how to handle my abilities, but he... tried.

[But... did he try hard enough...?]

Nothing really worked, though.

[ Angel carefully watches Elsa's expression, it becoming clear to her that she's hitting a nerve. Again, she can relate, and so she pivots the conversation to something lighter. ]

Um, will Cass be going as your date tonight?

[Ah, that seems to do the trick; Elsa's cheeks flush a light shade of pink, and while her hands are still a bit slow as she works Angel's leafy hair into a careful braid, she seems to have pulled herself out of her thoughts a bit.]

She will be, yes. We, ah... haven't been on a date in a while. [She laughs.] But I don't want it to be just a date night! I'd love to spend time with Anna, and with you. Let's try and make it a night for all of us to enjoy.
