Thirteenth Flake [Text]

[Normally, Elsa doesn't care for making text posts. Video helps her be more open people, and even after over a year here, she could always use more help with that! But there are still rare occasions where she just... doesn't trust her emotions to stay under control. So text it is for those days.]

For those of you who have been here for quite a while now:
Is there... any good way to cope with people from other worlds leaving?
I know that, when people from your own world leave, you can be comforted in the fact that you'll see them again when you return home.

But... what about those from other worlds?
They're gone, and unless you remain here for long enough that you return, you'll never see them again.
And if they're important to you, just as much as the people from your own world...

How can you get over the disappearance of someone like that?

I would guess that's the sort of thing that you'd have to just take one day at a time...

[ She twirls Elsa's hair, just a bit...it's still crazy seeing it so ruffly, even though they've spent so much time here. ]

I wish I could help more, honestly.

[Okay, that gets a laugh out of Elsa, and she nudges Anna's shoulder with her own.]

What are you talking about? You're doing so much for me now, Anna. You know how hard it is for me to talk about how I feel sometimes, but you're patient enough to let me get things out at my own pace, and you're letting me lean on you physically and emotionally.

That's what I needed most right now, I think.

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, what else are sisters for, right? You know you can come to me anytime you need me, after all. I'm not the type to let you deal with a problem on your own.

[defyingfrigidity]

Right. And you wouldn't give me a choice in the matter if I tried to protest.

[That's said with the utmost affection, of course.]

[loveisanopendoor]

Can you blame me? I mean, heaven knows you wouldn't ever let me deal with anything by myself.

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course not. But you have to admit, your tactics are a little more... "in your face" than mine.

[loveisanopendoor]

You say that as if you don't love every second of it. Subtlety's not my style.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, I never said I didn't! But Anna, sometimes I doubt you even know the meaning of that word...

[loveisanopendoor]

Do you think I should be a little more? I dunno, I feel like it's a bit less upfront that way!

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh no, not at all! Subtlety is good and all, but in many cases, being upfront is much better.

Besides... [Anna will get another nudge to her side, but Elsa's smile is soft, rather than playful.] I would never ask you to stop being you. I'd never want to change anything about my wonderful little sister.
