Elsa sighed in relief as she watched the last view ships from the visiting nations slip out of sight. She had been less recluse in last several days watching her sister freeze and then get defrosted, but she still felt a lot of stress being around so many people after so many years of solitude. Turning away from portside view she had from her room, Elsa looked around her that had been her life for so long.
She took in the large plush bed that she had made this morning after rising. She took in the deep purple comforter and curtains. She looked at the white walls, covered in ice decorations and drawings of the most important people in her life; her family. One wall was taken up by a 2d model of the ice castle she had constructed in the mountains.
"ELSA!" the calmness of the room was ruined by Anna barging in yelling like a lumberjack. Elsa jumped as her sister bounced through the door and jumped into her arms. Elsa instinctively wrapped her arms around her sister, trying not to panic on the inside.
Pulling back, Elsa looked at her sister. She took in every detail of her sister, from her red hair, to her green skirt. She stared at her sister reassuring herself that Anna was fine and healthy after having been frozen by her ice powers.
Anna gave a little smile and Elsa's stomach gave a little jump. She has a really pretty smile thought Elsa. Whoa! Where did that come from? Mentally shaking her head, Elsa smiled back at Anna.
"So big sister, what do we have planned today? Now that all of the visiting nations have left we got a castle to run, together!" Anna exclaimed. She started bouncing on her toes trying to get Elsa as energized as she was. "Come on, come on, come on. Let's go see what we gotta do"
Anna dragged Elsa out of her room and down the hallway. Going down a set of stairs, Anna led her to the throne room where two high back thrones awaited them. Elsa sat down on the larger throne. It was made of mahogany, with purple cushioning. Anna sat down on her right, on a similar throne, yet slightly smaller.
After several of court dealings, Elsa stood up and stretched her back. Most of the day had been spent reviewing the contracts that had drawn up or renewed with all of their trade partners. She had to look and make sure that they were equal and fair. She had also had to sign the order to have Hans executed for his illegal imprisonment of her, and for the attempted assassination of both the queen and princess of Arrendelle.
The order had been hard for her to sign. She had almost killed Weselton's guards and was still reeling from the thought of it and now she had just signed someone else's death warrant. Elsa also couldn't stand the look of pain on Anna's face as she had signed it. While Anna knew that it was what was right to do, she had still loved the man at one point.
Elsa turned to look at Anna and saw the sadness in her eyes. Grabbing her sister's left hand in her gloved one, Elsa pulled her sister out of her seat and said, "Hey, do you wanna go find Olaf with me? We need a little break from all this formalness. We just started the running of the castle, we can't be expected to solve every problem in the first day"
Anna grinned up at her, happy for the distraction. "That sounds like fun. I'll race you to his room," Anna said before taking off out of the room, running towards the stairwell. Giggling at her sisters antics, Elsa followed at a slower pace.
Arriving on the floor where all the rooms were situated, Elsa walked to the first door on the left. The door was already open and Anna was talking animatedly with the living snowman. Seeing the two of them brought back memories of when they were younger and she used to make Olaf talk to Anna so they could have a friend.
The memories turned sour when she thought of how she had shut out her sister following the accident and how she missed out on so much. Like seeing how pretty she's gotten. Elsa jolted at the thought. She shouldn't be having these kinds of thoughts, shouldn't she? Why not? Its ok to appreciate your sister's body, the little voice in her head said.
"What you think, Elsa" Anna's voice dragged her from her thoughts and she turned to look at the expectant girl. "Think of what?" she asked tactlessly. "What do you think of going into the courtyard to play in the snow?" Anna asked with a smile. Beside her Olaf nodded his snowy head in agreement.
"Umm, that sounds fine" Elsa said with what she hoped was a stable voice. She was still afraid of using her powers, especially around Anna, terrified that she would hurt her for a third time. The less she used her powers around anyone, the better.
Anna squealed in delight and Olaf clapped his hands together before they both bolted from the room. Elsa sighed as she was left to walk after them. How does Anna run everywhere without getting tired? She asked herself as she watched them disappear from her sight. Catching up to them at the entrance to the courtyard, Elsa led them out into open and stopped in the middle of the square space.
Focusing on her powers, and praying that everything went smoothly, Elsa twirled her hands and watched as snow and ice formed in a ball shaped mass before she lifted her hands throwing the ball into the air. At the peak of its rise, she spread her hands out and down to her sides. The ball exploded in snow and snowflakes gently drifted down, quickly covering the courtyard in a layer snow several inches deep.
Olaf laughed as he threw himself into a small hill of snow as Anna worked on making a snowball. Elsa was unaware of her sister's intentions having her back to the younger girl, and let out a short scream as the snowball made contact with her head. Whirling around, she saw Anna clutching her sides laughing. "What did you do that for?" Elsa asked, genuinely confused at having been attacked by her sister. Is this some form of payback for having to sit through so much boring legal activities? Anna had seemed bored while they were holding court and this assault seemed like the perfect revenge for her eccentric sister.
Anna straightened up and looked at Elsa. Elsa's confused face reminded Anna that she had spent most of her life locked in her room not playing with anyone. "It's called a snowball fight, Elsa. They're really fun. I used to play with the servants children all the time. This a normal snow day activity" Elsa continued to look confused until Anna showed how to make a snowball promising her that nothing was wrong with pelting each other with balls of snow.
Elsa slowly let loose and got into an hour long fight with Anna. She made sure to never use her ice powers when creating a snowball, or when throwing it. The thought of accidently hurting Anna keeping her from throwing too many snowballs. Olaf watched as Elsa struggled to maintain a steady stream of attack, then decided to join her and even out the fight.
After the fight ended, the girls and animated snowman, decided to call it a day. Elsa had them both step out of the courtyard before she swept up the snow and made it disappear. After accomplishing the disposal of the snow, she walked back inside and went up to her room to sleep. It was nice to Anna so happy. Her smile is so pretty, we need to make sure she smiles more. Elsa was too tired to think about what the little voice was saying. She made into the bed and was asleep in seconds.
