Elsa was walking through the dungeon, just doing some exploring because she has never been down there before. She was never allowed to go down to the dungeon when she was younger. It is everything she expected it to be. When she first walked into it, all she saw was a dark and gloomy hall. As she continued down the hall, she saw the cells that usually held the prisoners, but were now empty. Theses cells are in no condition to house any living thing. The floors of each cell were concrete. There was a raggedy, old cot in each one and the whole cell was about the size of a crawl space. Elsa could not imagine ever putting a person in one of these cells, even if they committed an unspeakable crime. As she explored the dungeon she heard the rustling of chains come from around the corner. She thought she was alone this entire time. She didn't know what she should do. She was curious to see if there was an actual prisoner in the dungeon, but scared of what she was going to find. She decided just to go look and find out what it was because if she didn't, that would be the only thing on her mind.

Elsa walked around the corner and was shocked at what she saw. There lying on the ground, she saw Hans sleeping. Elsa stepped closer to get a better look because she couldn't believe her eyes. As took another step, the heel of her shoe got caught in the crack in the concrete floor and she stumbled into the bars that kept confined Hans in his cell. Hans woke up startled from all of the ruckus. At first he thought it was one of the guards just messing with him, but when he realized who it really was he was stunned. He quickly got up from his cot and went to make sure the queen was aright. He offered his hand through the bars to help her off the ground and she took it. It was the first time he has had human contact in months. Elsa thanked Hans for helping her up. She was really curious as to why was here in Arendelle. She thought they had sent him back to his home in the Southern Aisles. Elsa asked him what he was doing here and he told her that his siblings wanted nothing to do with him back home so they sent him here it be imprisoned. He had been there for eight months now and no one told him anything ever. They never told him when he was going to be free again or even where they were keeping him captive. They only gave him one meal a day and it was this gross cold mush. Elsa started to feel bad for him even though he tried to kill her sister. No one should be abandoned by their family and then treated this way. She didn't want him to know that she felt bad for him because she knew he would take advantage of that and try trick her like he tricked Anna. So all she told was that she would try and figure out when they are going to let free and let him know as soon as she found out.

A week went by and Elsa still hadn't went back down to the dungeon, but ever since that day she found Hans that is all she could think about. She asked the guards about it and they didn't tell her much. They just told her what she already knew. Elsa was feeling kind of lonely that day so she decided to pay Hans a visit. Eventually her visits became a weekly thing. They talked about everything and anything. They both felt alone and forgotten in the world and they bonded over it. They shared stories about their siblings. Hans told Elsa that his brothers and sisters never cared for him and always treated him very poorly. Elsa told Hans that she felt like Anna didn't really care about her anymore now that Kristoff was in the picture. With all the time they were spending together, Elsa realized that she was developing feelings for Hans, but knew that she couldn't act on them because he was a bad guy.
