Breakfast went by surprisingly fast. Unfortunately, despite all of Kristoff's fears, he and Viktor really hit it off and Anna's heart shattered into tinier pieces at every laugh they shared together.

Elsa sat at the head of the table, Viktor to her left, Anna, holding Robert, to her right, and Kristoff to Anna's side. Much of the conversation went on between the two men, with Elsa popping in an occasional insightful quip. Anna just kept her eyes on Robert for something to distract her with. His eyes were deep and bright, he was actually seeing her, looking back, and finally a smile cracked her face and she kissed the tip of his nose.

Elsa kept looking over at the heartbroken, then cheerful, then heart broken, Anna and tried to think of a way to make her stay smiling. She was too far away to hold her hand, besides Anna's were holding a baby. She wanted to squeeze her shoulder reassuringly, but again, Anna was too far away from her. She decided that her food could convey a message and so as the men went on excitedly about horses and reindeer Elsa arranged a simple little saying with her breakfast, then she tapped her finger next to Anna's untouched plate and Anna looked up to her. Elsa turned her plate so Anna could read it better. It said I love you, made of of finely cut sausage and eggs. Anna grinned wildly, her heart rising back into her chest, healed completely.

"I love you too." Anna mouthed and Elsa took back her plate with a happy smile, feeling very accomplished at making her sister feel better.

When Robert started to cry, signaling he was hungry, breakfast was quickly finished and Anna excused herself to go nurse, and the other three went to Elsa's study.

"Please, have a seat." Elsa gestured for the men to sit on the couch in front of her desk; the couch her and Anna used to plot Viktor's banishment last night. Elsa went and grabbed her chair from behind her desk and rolled it out so that she could sit more near them and appear more friendly, and she parked it beside her desk and then sat down.

"Well, I think it's time to talk about what you're plans are while you're here Viktor." Elsa began, and Viktor relaxed back into the couch like it was his throne, and he effectively sent shivers down her spine. He was comfortable, and he wanted to control.

"I simply came to see if all the stories were correct about you, the so called "Ice queen". I can't say I'm disappointed." He gave her an arrogant smirk, and again her spine shivered, but she smiled it off and he never noticed how uncomfortable she was. Her heart cringed at the title.

"It took four years for you to finally come and visit?" Elsa jabbed at him, but he came back with a simple enough truth and her walls began to crumble.

"High in the mountains am I. News takes a little longer to reach the heavens. It takes a while to plan a journey as well, my dear. I had to find a good route to get here, and find a guide to lead me to your lovely kingdom."

Kristoff began to notice the temperature dropping a little, just a little though. He was used to the feeling, what with being around Elsa so much for the past few years. He gave her warning, whimpering look, coughing a little to make her look at him, and mild shock flashed through her eyes and she immediately thought of Peter. The temperature stopped dropping.

"I would love to go and see your castle that you built while I'm here." Viktor went on, and Elsa looked back at him.

"When would you like to go?"

"At your convenience. Like I've told you before, I know I came unannounced, and I'm greatly sorry. If you have no time, I will happily find someone who could take me there."

"I could take you if you want." Kristoff butted in, and Elsa's eyes glimmered with adoration. Kristoff knew something was off with her, and he was trying to make everything okay. "That way Elsa can continue with her duties and you can see whatever you want. I know this land like the back of my hand." He smiled proudly, and showcased the back of his hand of which he was an expert of apparently.

"Great! What a generous people you have Elsa. Everyone seems to be looking out for you."

"My parents taught me well." She said sheepishly.

"Oh come now, parents are merely tutors. In the end it's you that is making everyone feel safe and cherished, not them." Viktor complimented and a blush began to creep under Elsa's face as his intentions became more clear.

"He's here to take your hand in marriage Elsa. He wants you to rule beside him."Peter's words floated through her ears.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Tell me, has a young man come through here recently? Brown hair, brown eyes?" Viktor asked as innocently as he could.

Elsa's heart skipped a full beat, then another. "No, no, no one of that description."

"What about Peter?" If looks could kill, or at least maim. Curses of all kinds spewed from Elsa's eyes and Kristoff felt his blood boiling from her scolding glare.

"He left a few days ago." Elsa lied smoothly. "He has bright green eyes anyways." She lied again and Kristoff slumped deeper into his seat with shame from forgetting his royal promise to keep Peter a secret from the man sitting next to him. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh my guide had just come back from taking a young man of that description here. I was only wondering."

"Well, I guess he just breezed by us then. I usually always hear about newcomers." She smiled kindly, but her hands turned rock hard with cold. Kristoff was very fortunate to not be alone with her right now, no matter how much he tried to help before.

She looked back over at him, optically asking "How could you?"

He optically responded, "I don't know."
