"Queen Elsa" said Erik sitting next to her. "We were wondering – "

"If you wouldn't do us a favor?" Finished Finn sitting before her.

Their faces looked earnest which made it easy to trust them. Even if they were trouble makers.

"What favor?" She asked smiling.

"Well, we heard you made a skating rink in front of your castle."

"It's so hot today, we would appreciate if you showed us."

She looked at them disbelievingly. They couldn't ask her to show her power!

"I can't. What if someone's in the water?"

"Oh, don't worry. The lake belongs to our family. Nobody besides us can enter it."

They looked so puppy like, she decided to grant them this small pleasure. Besides, such a task was almost nothing for her.

She put her foot on the surface and made it slowly into ice. Finn and Erik jumped forward to try it and Adolf just smiled at them with a sight. The idyllic evening was cut short by a sudden scream.

All of them rushed to find the source. Elsa had to calm down to melt the ice, so she stayed behind for a moment. When she joined the brothers, she saw them hovering over an unconscious and wet Hans.

"He's cold as ice." Said Adolf, who picked him out of the water. The scared princess who screamed was being calmed down by the two remaining.

Elsa realized just how stupid she behaved. She killed him. Even if he was her enemy she didn't want to be his murderer.

"Move away." She said to Adolf, kneeling before his brother. He was indeed cold as ice.

She could feel the shocked gaze on her when she leaned down to kiss his forehead. When that didn't work she leaned in again and kissed him on the lips.

Going back up she saw a pair of green eyes staring at her. Adolf immediately checked on him.

"He's alive! And he's no longer freezing. How did you do that?"

"Once I kissed the forehead of a child as a blessing. He's mother said he didn't feel cold ever since then. I do not know the limits to my power, so I decided to try it."

Hans looked at her with an unreadable expression.

(******************)

Elsa didn't feel like going to visit Hans and check if he's alright. It's not like she didn't want him to die, she just didn't want to kill him herself.

Eventually, he found her on his own.

"Do you want to know why?" He asked when she passed him in the hallway.

"Know what?"

"My brother said it didn't work when you kissed my forehead. Want to know why?"

It was kind of on her mind, but she didn't want to tell him.

"Feelings." He started. She didn't see the look on his face but she guessed it was smug. "Your magic works powered by feelings. You needed a kick to make that work."

"What are you suggesting?" She turned to him angrily.

He did look a bit smug, though he wasn't smiling.

"Don't misunderstand. I do not think there is one good feeling between us."

"Aren't you at least thankful I saved your life?" She asked but knew what he'll answer.

"Well, it's your fault my life was endangered in the first place. But I know you could have just left me to die. You could say I am … not thankful, but indebted. So I'll give you one piece of advice."

She waited, looking at his suddenly serious face.

"Stay away from Adolf, Finn and Erik."
