"Where are your gloves, Emily?" He asked, looking at her bare hands.
"In my room!" Emily said, exasperated. "I can't use them when I'm on an assignment, and you can't keep me here, with a war coming and all." Duncan raised an eyebrow at her. She had been slowly spreading frost in the room, and he glanced to make sure there was a fire in the room, in case something froze. Sure enough, a fire continued to glow brightly in its grate, despite the chill in the room's air. She took a deep breath and tried to regain control of her abilities. They had gotten her into trouble in many ways, usually by people thinking they could use her to get to the King. Those people were recovering from frostbite in the hospital wing.
"Can't I?" Duncan asked. "If you lose control in the heat of battle, it could mean-"
"Victory for Morgarath! I know, I know!" Emily answered. "But still, my first duty is to the kingdom and not hiding in the castle like a scared little girl! We don't even know If Cassandra is safe or not!" She paused and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but I should be out there looking for her, not safe and sound in here."
Duncan nodded, seeing her point, although a little reluctantly. "Fine. You can escort Queen Elsa and Princess Anna or Arendelle to the castle." Emily smiled. "It's a short trip, but I'm sure you can do it?" Duncan asked, looking at her.
"Of course I can!" Emily said, jumping up and running from the room, not asking Duncan's permission to leave. He sighed heavily and turned back to the paperwork on his desk.
Meanwhile, Queen Elsa of Arendelle looked at the Castle that loomed near the river. She had been wary of coming to Araluen, as it was a trip by ship, but Anna had pressured her into going. Her Kingdom, was in the hands of Kristoff, and she was sure everything would be fine.
She had no clue just how wrong she would be.
Emily waited on the dock, sighing as she looked at her now gloved hands.
What's wrong? Spirit seemed to ask as he shook his mane. Emily looked at him and shrugged.
Nothing, She said, silently. Just worried that I'll mess this job up. She is an important trade partner with Duncan, after all. No one knows what could have happened on her way here.
If she's any Queen, she'll have brought her own guards. Spirit replied, snorting. Emily rolled her eyes and didn't answer, knowing that she'd never get the last word with her horse
