Elsa sat at her desk pretending to be busy, which is something she normally didn't do but desperate men, call for desperate measures. Lord Geallon's courtship was a lot harder to deal with than Elsa thought.
This morning it was sweet words, and he brought her a bouquet of flowers, it was slightly embarrassing but she choked it down. Now once again she was hiding away in her office.

(I thought we were going to go see Guide today)

That was right they were supposed to go see Guide today. And Elsa didn't need to hide anymore anyways, Geallon was out hunting hoping to catch something for Elsa. How prehistoric. But still, Guide, all of a sudden Elsa felt giddy and jumped up from her chair and headed towards the door.

Elsa felt like she was skipping and as she turned a corner she bumped into her baby sister causing both of them to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Ow!" Anna whined rubbing her rear.

Elsa stood up and went to help her up sticking out her hand which Anna gratefully took.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I thought I was the only one who ran through the halls." Anna said well naturedly.

Elsa's face flushed, Anna wouldn't allow her to go to the North Forest a second time not after she got lost.

"Well I was just... You know heading... Somewhere." Elsa said lamely.

Anna saw right through her as usual.
It's not that Anna had a built in lying detector, it's was just that Elsa was a terrible liar.

Anna folded her arms and gave Elsa her signature 'I can see past your shit' look.

Elsa sighed. "Okay, okay. I was going to the forest again.

"Do you have a particular fetish where you like being in trouble or something, because maybe I'm just crazy but it feels like we've already been through this?" Anna said rubbing circles in her temples.

(Think of something quick. Make up an excuse. Lie. Kick her and run. Anything.)

"Well would you like to come along?" Elsa offered.

(What the hell! I gave you a list of things to do, letting baby sister tag along was not one of them.)

(*Why does it matter if Anna comes?)

(Because we agreed to go to the forest and seduce Guide, how are we going to do that with our kid sister?)

(*First of all, we never agreed to seduce Guide, it was just a visit.)

(And what do think would happen during the visit?)

(*Friendly chat?)

(You stupid bastard. But who knows, maybe she'll say no)

Anna smiled." Well at least you won't be alone. I'd love to come!"

(FUCK!)

"Alright well I was heading out now. So are you ready?" Elsa asked.

Anna gave herself a once over "As I'll ever be"

And so they began to walk towards the town square and then north to the forest.

(This is gonna suck.)

(*Do you even know how to seduce people?)

(Yeah.)

(*Well I don't know how to and we are the same person so...)

(I know how to!)

(*Mmhmm. What's the first step?)

(Well you have to.. Have to.. Grab the person first.)

(*Uhuh. That's rape.)

(It's not rape if they want it.)

(Okay no. You see the privilege of talking you just lost it. Out the window it goes. You're not allowed to speak until we find Guide and even then.. I have my doubts.)

The two sisters walked hand in hand, people in town waved excitedly to them and Elsa gave the children a magic show that lasted for thirty minutes. They awarded her with oohs and aahs. And the baker gave her and Anna a big box of chocolate cookies.

"Oh wait Anna, I want to pick up pieces of chocolate for Guide to try. She's never tried them before." Elsa said walking over to the chocolate shop and picked up a box.

Eventually they made it to the edge of the forest.

"So how are we going to find Guide?" Anna asked

At the moment when Guide left her in the sled to go hunt down her sister and Kristoff, Elsa still felt that the silent promise they made was still alive and if Elsa called, Guide would come.

Guide was ecstatic. She couldn't believe that Elsa was coming back. She couldn't even hunt she was that excited. All Guide could focus on was Elsa, even hunting played to be difficult as the blonde raided Guide's mind absorbing all concentration.
Guide was running, well more like frolicking through her territory. She lowered her nose to the ground to see if she could catch wind of her angel but caught the scent of something else and before she could take off into the sky, it was too late.

"GUIDE!" Elsa called again but like all the other attempts she made in the past hour no answer.

"Maybe she's not in this area. You did say she liked to roam around." Anna said trying to make light of situation.

"Yeah maybe that's it." Elsa said, not even trying to hide the disappointment in her face and voice.

Anna rubbed her shoulder. "Come on I ate all the chocolate and the cookies and I'm hungry, plus we should probably get back before we cause another panic."

Elsa looked around. "Well maybe we could circle one more time around the-"

"Elsa" Anna warned. Elsa's shoulders slumped.

"Well try again tomorrow." Anna said grabbing Elsa's hand and leading her out of the forest.

"Besides I bet lord Geallon is waiting for you." Anna said winking.

"Oh stop it please." Elsa said cringing.

Anna laughed. "Is it really that bad?"

"No. I mean it's just he's so... himself and he's really a nice man but, he's not my type."

Anna raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know you had a type."

"Neither did I."

When they made it back to the castle it was dusk and time for dinner. Anna and Elsa went to their rooms to make themselves presentable. The court, the citizens, and her council would be joining them. They wanted to celebrate the safe return of their queen. They wanted to do it as soon as she returned but waited for her leg wound to heal instead. Geallon upon her return said he had a gift of the hunt for her that would be a true spectacle for the whole Queendom to see.

Elsa wasn't too excited, he was probably just going to present a stag or a wolf.
She wasn't too fond of the sight of dead animals or a dead anything.

She decided to wear a simple dress that was the colors of her Queendom, green, purple, yellow, and her own touch of blue. It wasn't revealing, and she braided her hair and wrapped the braid in a bun.

Anna followed her example of style, but instead of using a braid she used yellow ribbons.

When they were done they teamed up against Kristoff as usual to get him to wear something appropriate for the dinner.

He wore a matching suite to his wife's dress.

When the trio went for dinner, Kristoff decided to escort both of them. He had two arms, and there was two of them, convenience. Olaf took Elsa's other hand and she allowed him.

When they entered some of the court smiled while others whispered. Some believed that the royal family's relationship with one another was anything but orthodox. But the royal family could care less. They were happy that's all that mattered.

There would be a small dance before dinner with music. Olaf ran off to probably cause unintentional havoc somewhere to someone.

Geallon of course walked up to Elsa with purpose before she could take her place on her throne. There were only two, one that was in the throne room of course that was for trials or making legal decisions, or greeting others from other kingdoms, and then there was this one that the Queen sat in for events.

"Your majesty" Geallon said with an over exaggerated bow.

She smiled politely. She wasn't in the mood, she couldn't find Guide and could only hope they had better luck tomorrow.

"Lord Geallon." She addressed formally.

He offered his hand "Would you do me the honor of being the first dance of tonight?"

Elsa really, really didn't want to.

(Lie. Say your leg hurts. Say no.)

(* we can't do that.)

(Correction we can. You just don't want to.)

Elsa smiled and took his hand.

(Idiot.)

She shook the thought away. He was a very tall man, with a strong build. But the way he squeezed her hand and waist hurt. He was just so excited to be holding her.

"Are you excited about your gift?" he asked glowing with pride.

Elsa fought to not roll her eyes. "I couldn't possibly imagine what it be"

"I think you'll like It." he said with confidence.

When the dance ended he asked for another but she declined politely and retreated back to her throne.

Kai stepped forward halting the festivities and announced. "Lord Geallon of Bradton, would like to present his gift to her majesty Queen Elsa."

Geallon thanked him and stepped in front of Elsa's throne.

"Your majesty when I went out to the forest today I was not expecting what I found nor did I know what to make of it."

He looked around the room and spoke loudly. "It was beautiful, it was rare, and it was mystifying." he turned to her. "Exactly like you." she blushed as the court awed at them.

"Many men would purpose with a ring proclaiming their love. But I proclaim mine with something alive, something fierce yet beautiful. What I hope we could one day be together."

(Oh god. He's going to propose with a bear. Get your No's ready)

(*Ready)

"Bring the animal forth!" he yelled.

His hunting assistants obeyed.

Everyone in the room gasped at the sight.

So did Elsa but for an entirely different reason. Her eyes filled with tears at the morbid sight.

And when their eyes finally met in what seemed like forever all hell broke loose and ran wild.
