Day 5: In Which Her Sister Catches Up With Her
"Are you sterilizing your apartment? Because Kristoff told me the other day that the virus can stay alive for, like, a week, even without a host!"
Elsa sighed, propping her head up on a hand as she stared at her computer screen. "Yes, Anna. I have been cleaning my apartment thoroughly, as I have informed you yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that as well..."
The pixelated image of her sister shrugged. "I'm just trying to look out for you, Elsa. I worry about you being all alone in there."
A warm smile rose to her lips, and Elsa's eyes softened. She leaned forward and lowered her voice to a sweet whisper, "I know. And I love you for caring."
"Aw, love you too, sis. What about your prescription? We're starting to have some shipping delays over here, so you might wanna buy your meds while you still can."
"Don't worry, Anna, my cabinet is considerably stocked. It should last me for the next few months or so."
There was a knock on her wall, and Elsa looked up curiously.
"Hey, Elsa?" Jack's muffled voice reached her kitchen.
"Yeah?" she shouted back.
"Can you talk?"
"Sure. What's up?"
"How much salt do you need to cook pasta?"
"Enough to make the water taste like seawater."
"Got it. Thanks!"
"Don't burn down your kitchen!"
"I make no promises!"
Scoffing to herself, Elsa returned her attention to her video call, and the sight on her screen made her chuckle. Anna's face practically covered the whole camera. "Anna, you're too close."
"Who was that?!" Anna's screech was so high that it made Elsa's ears hurt.
Scowling, Elsa pulled one of her earphones out. "My neighbor. He's cooking pasta apparently."
Anna hummed, and she kept bouncing back and forth with a silly grin on her face. Years of living under the same roof had taught Elsa that that was the kind of face Anna made when she had a secret she was dying to share with the rest of the world.
Elsa's eyes narrowed. "What is it?"
"You, dear sister, were flirting just now."
"I was not!"
"You so were!"
"I'm hanging up," Elsa said, rolling her shoulders back and putting on her 'I'm the eldest daughter, and you will respect me' hat.
Anna's arms stretched out to hold both sides of the screen. "Wait! What does he look like? On a scale of one to ten, how hot is he? Because he sounded like a ten thousand—"
"Bye, Anna!"
