It was some hours later when Elsa made her way up the stairs to her sister's room, several desserts balanced on a tray in hand. She knocked softly with her free hand, hoping that her sister was still inside.
"Anna? It's me. I want to apologize for what I said earlier. I realize that what I said about you being an embarrassment was harsh, and not true in the slightest. I do wish that sometimes you would act a little more dignified, a little more like the princess you are, but that doesn't mean that you're an embarrassment. You are my sister above all, and I love you dearly, and there's nothing that you could do that would make me disown you or deny that we were related. I know what I said hurt you, and it hurt me as well; that's why I've come back to apologize." She paused, and listened for a response. Silence greeted her in return, so she assumed that Anna had gone out, possibly to Kristoff, or somewhere else in the kingdom. Elsa sighed deeply, and set the tray down.
"If you are in there, and just won't speak to me, I've left a peace offering outside the door; it's all of your favorite desserts. At least eat them before they melt." She turned and headed back down the hall, towards the study. At least there she could read a little and take her mind off of her sister. She was just about to turn the corner when she heard a voice.
"Elsa wait."
The queen turned around and saw Anna, standing in the doorway, holding the tray of desserts with trembling hands. The princess tilted her head and stepped into the room, Elsa followed without hesitation.
"Anna, I-"
The princess held up a hand for silence and sat down on the bed, patting the spot next to her. When they were both sitting down, she spoke again.
"Elsa, I know you didn't mean what you said, and I know that I'm not always the perfect princess that I should be, but I can't help that. I try to be more like you but it just doesn't work out. It's not that I don't want to, I just feel silly when I try and be proper. Kinda like you feel silly not being proper, it goes both ways. And sometimes I just get carried away, like today. I'm just trying to make the best of the situations, y'know? I don't mean to be disruptive and annoying and loud, but that's just who I am. You know that," Anna looked up at her sister, tears forming on the corners of her eyes, "don't you?"
The queen nodded slowly. "I do Anna. Sometimes I forget that that's just who you are, and I place more importance on the overall image of Arendelle than my own sister. I enjoy your exuberance and spontaneity, I'm just not sure if the rest of the kingdom does." She laughed softly. "Although I have heard that you often make people's days when you're spotted in the market. Maybe I do put too much stock into appearances and such. I will try to be a little more lenient in the future."
Anna smiled and wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Oh Elsa, you're the best! I'm sorry I was so stubborn." With a huge grin on her face, she tackled Elsa on to the pillows and gave her the biggest hug she could muster. "I'll try to be more refined from now on."
"O-oof! I'm glad to hear that." Elsa returned the hug, and attempted to sit herself upright. "But in the meantime, how about those desserts?"
Anna flashed her biggest grin. "You always know just what to say."
