[once she's on her feet, he'll begin to pull her along to the planetarium.]

Yeah. We've seen a ton up close while traveling, but even when I was on my island we used to be able to see them for miles and miles. Are you? [you can look at stars and still think they're just okay.]

[showyourself]

[it's easy enough to let sora take the lead. his younger, energetic personality is kind of heartwarming!! but also. she has to keep up the "i definitely know you" thing.]

Hmm... I'm not not a fan. [pause.] Does that make sense?

[reconnective]

Yeah, I think so. They're nice to look at, but they're just sort of there. Like you know they're not disappearing so you can admire them every once in a while but it's no big deal.

[that is absolutely how he's interpreting it. also he still has no idea this is a different elsa, so his own frame of reference is still very snowy and cold Arendelle.]

[showyourself]

[wha

what???

there's a long beat between them as she tries to figure out what nonsense he just said, and finally gives up. so instead, she

nods.]

Yes. Just... like that.

[YEAH! SURE!!]

[reconnective]

[they're doing their best, don't listen to him. but look, the planetarium!]

Got it. [he opens the door and lets her in first before he follows.] I've been here a lot even when I'm not trying to call the leaders.

[showyourself]

Yes, myself as well. Although I've only called on my own leader, so far...

[she says it casually, then blinks.]

Is that something we're supposed to keep to ourselves?

[reconnective]

Hmm...I think as long as we don't share who our leaders are, it's okay to say we've met with them. Do you like yours?

[showyourself]

Well, they're... [she thinks.] ...nice. A little standoffish, I suppose. But maybe they're just as nervous as we all are.

[reconnective]

Maybe. We're just as new to them as they are to us. It might take time for them to get used to being a leader.

[showyourself]

That's true. And not everyone wants to be a leader in the first place.

...I'd like to help them. I'm going to make some food for mine. Do you have any idea what yours likes?

[reconnective]

Right. We have to do our best to support them, too. [but there's a moment that he hums to himself, trying to think about his leader.] I think mine was just happy to get anything at all, but I've made desserts for Fox, Rabbit and Wolf when they were here. Who doesn't like sweets?

But besides that...you could ask them some questions about themselves. They seem to remember some things. Like Fox likes music, and Rabbit likes animals. Wolf doesn't seem to like anything, but they're just being a jerk on purpose.

[showyourself]

I don't think Wolf is being a jerk. I think they just don't know what to do with themselves, when so many people are asking them things. Just a little... stubborn. [she giggles.]

What kind of dessert did you make them?

[reconnective]

More like a lot stubborn. [he will fight wolf in a costco parking lot :| but he'll concede at least.]

I made them these fruit tarts. That way it's a little bit of everything in case they didn't want something too sweet. But I bet they'd like cookies or something, too.

[showyourself]

You know, I'm not very good at cooking or baking. Hot chocolate's about the only recipe I have down pat.

It sounds like you're a natural, though. Do you often make things for... for your friends?

[whoever the hell they are.]

[reconnective]

[he laughs at that, though it's more embarrassed than anything.]

It's nothing like that. I've just been helping out a friend recently while he's testing new recipes for this bistro. I was never really good at it before that. Donald and Goofy usually took care of that stuff.

[he is inadvertently helping her keep up this charade.] Even if you're not good at it, hot chocolate's still a nice idea. It's something you can share, isn't it? That more than counts.

[showyourself]

[great, this is more information.]

Do you think they'd still appreciate it? It's not much.

[reconnective]

I do. I think as long as you put your heart into it, they'll like it. A gift doesn't have to be big in order to be appreciated.

[showyourself]

That's a lovely sentiment. I think I'll do just that, then.

Something to everyone, then, maybe? Is that what you did?

[reconnective]

Yeah. When the leaders first showed up I had something for all of them. And then I brought my leader something else. I think they're not used to getting things from people either way.

[so anything is good.]

[showyourself]

I'd like to ask them each what sort of thing they'd enjoy... hmm. [she taps her chin thoughtfully, as the two of them slip into the planetarium.]

[reconnective]

They've gotta have some sort of opinion, so it's worth asking. You just have to take time to get to know them. [the stars are here...they are bright...sora's constellation of himself is up in the sky somewhere.]

[showyourself]

Any hints? Maybe we can build a, ah, flavor profile for each one? I could... customize their hot chocolates.

[the stars are shining brightly, ooooooh.]

...I wonder if shooting stars ever go by.

[reconnective]

I know that Fox likes green tea. So maybe hot chocolate with mint? [he doesn't know much about customization but he looks at the sky.] If we wish on these stars whenever we want to see the leaders, there probably shooting stars. We just have to watch for them.

[showyourself]

Green... tea. [she's fighting with the PHS in order to input a note.] Got it. [this could work??

wait]

...Do you wish on a lot of stars?

[reconnective]

[he just shrugs.]

I wish on a lot of things. [that's not really an answer.] You never know who's listening.
