Drabble set after the great thaw.
"Hey Elsa, does your snow melt?" Anna asked curiously as she plonked down on a couch in the study.
"I don't suppose so." Elsa replied joining her sister. "It just vanishes into mist when I want it to."
"Really…," Anna probed.
"Yes, really."
"Let's conduct an experiment then."
"An experiment on me?" Elsa inquired in disbelief, "No way— go experiment on yourself."
"So," Anna beamed as she put out her hands in front of Elsa, "give me some ice."
Elsa had a wry smile as she thought about how she could turn this situation to her favour. "Here you go," Elsa said conjuring a brick-sized slab of ice in Anna's palms.
Anna yelped and dropped it onto the floor. "Elsa," she wined, "work with me here. An ice cube about this size," Anna said holding two fingers at eye level.
Meanwhile, Elsa was trying very hard to hold back her laughter. "Okay, okay." She chimed as she produced an ice cube and made the slab on the floor disappear."
"How's that?"
"Perfect." Anna exclaimed as she began furiously rubbing it between her palms. Elsa just watched her with an eyebrow raised in amusement.
"What!" Anna cried, "Where's the water? How did the ice just vanish into nothing?"
"Anna, some things are just as they are. It's magic after all."
"Wait," Anna said thoughtfully, barely registering anything Elsa had said, "what if we use snow?" Anna held out her palms once again. "Give me some snow."
"Not until you tell me why you want my ice to melt."
"Think about it Elsa, if your ice could melt into liquid water then you could control water as well as ice and snow."
…
Elsa looked away uncomfortably. "I'd rather that didn't happen." Anna gently placed a hand on Elsa's shoulder. "I wouldn't want to have that kind of power. It would place a burden on me too great to bear," she explained. Anna smiled in understanding.
"Can we at least test out the snow thing?"
"Sure," Elsa answered conjuring a pile of snow in Anna's palms. Anna tried to make it melt by mashing it together, but it just grew messy. Elsa laughed in amusement at her sister's antics.
"What are you doing?"
"It won't melt." Anna concluded with frustration. "Guess there's only one way to melt it then—"
"Wait, don't!"
…
"It's soft," Anna mentioned pensively, "and it tastes like you, Elsa."
Elsa gagged inwardly and said in a weak voice, "I feel like you just ate a part of me…"
"It's…," Anna gave a sheepish smile and tilted her head, "not as bad as it sounds."
"Yea right," Elsa deadpanned, "it's worse. Who knows what happens when you eat magic ice."
"I'm really sorry Elsa," Anna said ruefully. "Can you remove it?"
"I can try." Elsa sighed as she placed a hand over Anna's stomach and closed her eyes. She soon felt the presence of the snow and she melted it into vapour. Bringing her hand into an upward gesture the vapour was dispelled from Anna's body.
"Thank you, Elsa. What would I do without you," Anna said sweetly.
"I hope you learnt a lesson today, Anna."
"Yes, Elsa's snow tastes nice."
