[ The fire itself burns rather cool for right now. Should he throw something into it or start "talking" to it, it will grow hot. It shouldn't feel much warmer to Elsa than a cooling tea kettle. ]

I am pleased to see that you like it so. [ He smiles in that subtle Rohan way that he does-- not too obvious, but just enough. Warm like the fire in the fireplace. He lets a pause fall between them.

When he speaks up: ]

I want you to know that Anna is forever free from harm. The Fog God granted her instant rejuvenation if anything should ever happen to her.

She will show up right here without a scratch due to Her protection.

[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.]

[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...
