Chapter 10- Hans The Fisherman
Meanwhile, out by the town docks, a young man sat in his little row boat. It was the same row boat that had once saved him from a sinking ship.
The young man wore a fisherman's attire with a green beanie on his head. His clothes were dirty and he had stubbles of hair growing on his chin.
No one paid attention to the fisherman and Hans didn't want the attention. He sat there fuming in his little row boat. His line still hadn't caught anything but that was beside the point.
Jack had gone against the plan. But why? It couldn't be that Jack was falling for Elsa, could it?
Hans shook his head. No, that would be bad. Then there would be two foes with ice powers against him. Besides, Jack made a promise to help. Hans had to believe in him no matter how hard it was. It was all he had if he wanted to get this kingdom back.
He gave an exasperated sigh. On top of everything, he still hadn't caught one fish and he was starving.
"I should be eating like a king by now!" Hans said to himself. "When I get my hands on those two sisters I'll kill 'em!"
He said the last part a little loud as his line caught. Hans angrily, and quickly, rolled in the line. He pulled his catch out of the water and noticed two passing fishermen staring at him, incredulous.
"Just, a hard day's work, am I right?" Hans gave a nervous laugh as he held up the wiggling fish on the line.
The two fishermen continued along the dock taking note to stay away from the crazy young man.
Hans' smile quickly vanished as he watched the two fishermen go. He glared at them as he threw the fish into the boat.
"I'll show you the progress on my sculpture after dinner." Anna said as she and Jack entered the huge dining room.
Jack had never been in here before. It was luxurious, fit for royalty. Chandeliers gave the room a warm glow and a long table filled most of the room.
Jack saw Kristoff and Elsa already seated. They were talking when the two walked in. Elsa, facing the door, looked up and gave Jack a smile.
"Hope you two aren't eating without us." Anna took the seat next to Elsa so that she could face Kristoff.
"If you two took any longer we would have. I'm famished!" Kristoff smiled. Jack rested his staff against the table next to him as he took the seat next to Kristoff, facing Elsa.
"What were you two doing?" Elsa asked as she started passing the first plate of food around.
"Anna was showing me the castle." Jack said. "She really knows this place inside and out."
"Did she "demonstrate" to you that trap door?" Kristoff asked as he piled his plate.
"The one in the library?" Jack said.
Kristoff smiled. "When she showed it to me I fell through."
"Me too!" Jack laughed. "That's what took so long. I didn't know how to get out of those underground tunnels."
"I hope you didn't hurt your arm." Elsa said.
"I'm fine. I think I'm doing better already." He smiled at Elsa who returned his smile. Once again they found themselves staring at each other longer than usual. Both Jack and Elsa held a dish between them. Elsa didn't notice the ice forming under her hand.
Anna cleared her throat. "Um, can you two pass the potatoes?"
Elsa blinked, coming back to the room-the ice vanishing. "What? Oh, right." She gave a nervous giggle as she took the dish from Jack and passed it to her sister.
Anna gave her a raised eyebrow but Elsa had quickly turned her attention to her food and began to eat. Jack had done the same, leaving Kristoff and Anna to give each other a knowing look.
"So tomorrow I was going to take Jack around town." Anna said eventually. "There's so much to do in Arendelle! There's the pie makers, the wood cutters-"
"Don't forget the ice harvesters." Kristoff added.
"And the fishermen-" Anna continued.
"Fishermen?" Jack looked up.
"Yeah, why?" Anna asked as Elsa looked between the two.
"No reason. I, um, have an old friend who's a fisherman. I think I would like to see him again. He's most likely here or the next town over."
Anna nodded as she and Elsa went back to eating. Jack watched as everyone ate in silence. He knew he had to visit Hans and soon.
