"Anna…I don't know if I can do this."
Elsa gazed from the view of her window to the town where people were gathering together and preparing for a very unusual celebration.
When Elsa had revealed her preferences to the people, she'd simply seen it as a necessity. After all, it was better to let people know she had no interest in marrying a man than lead on both incoming suitors and the members of her council. She'd never imagined that so many people, including Oaken, would come foreword and admit they shared similar romantic inclinations. Or that so many would come out and ask the queen both for permission to set up a festival celebrating people like them or for her to come to the celebration as a special guest. But it had happened and the Festival of Frigga was upon them. The whole town was decked out in bright pink decorations and multiple people had put up banners and signs bearing the symbol they'd made for the event: Two entwined pink hearts.
Anna looked over at her, slightly adjusting the pink heart clips she'd put in her hair to match the pink garment she'd chosen for the Festival.
"What? Why not?" Anna asked.
"All those people will be down there, staring at me. All knowing about…the way I am." Elsa said, eyes still worriedly trained on the town.
"Yeah, but that's the point. You'rer not alone Elsa, lots of people are like that. And they all love the fact that you were brave enough to come out and say it. That's why they did this. Because they want to prove they have the same courage and not let other people decide who they love. A lot of them look up to you. "
"Not everybody is so accepting." Elsa pointed out, recalling the man who had so blithely called the queen a whore after her announcemant.
Anna grimaced, no doubt also recalling the incident. Then she perked up and said. "Well, just dont worry about them. Today's about celebrating love and the people down there all love you so much for what you've done."
Elsa tore her gaze away from the window to look at her sister. "But I didn't do anything."
"You showed who you really are to people." Anna shrugged. "Sometimes that's all you need to do."
Elsa gave a soft smile and said. "Well, I never would've been brave enough to come out to people without you."
"It's what I do best." Anna said sincerely before walking over to Elsa's desk, picking up the twin heart pin on top and pinning it to her sisters chest. She looked up into Elsa's eyes and asked. "Are you ready?
Elsa gazed fondly at Anna and said. "Yeah, I'm ready."
