[elsa's face freezes (haha) in a smile. it's a good thing she's so good at concealing the ol' feelings, because she sure is cringing internally pretty hard right now.
worse yet, it feels like she's on the precipice of a terrifying discovery.]
Yeah. While you were singing. [just to clarify, because for some reason he feels the need to say that.] We wanted to try to come see you in the castle but we ended up having to take care of some other stuff first.
Yeah. It was like..."let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go, turn away and slam the door. I don't care what they're going to say, let the storm rage on...the cold never bothered me anyway."
[luckily, he does not continue to sing let it go but it's clear he knows what he's talking about here.]
I dunno. You looked a lot happier singing and expressing your feelings.
in the way that someone in deep shock and embarrassment smiles, a rictus grin of horror. this is it. this is the worst timeline. this is the equivalent of passionately singing into your hairbrush and someone walking in. worse still, sora not only heard, but apparently saw, and remembered.
[elsa's so cool, just handling this with all kinds of chill. sora sees no problem here and doesn't even seem to realize she's maybe embarrassed about it but that's partially because sora himself is an embarrassing person.]
If it helps it helps. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
[elsa may never know that otherworld elsa also had no idea she was being watched.]
Yeah, we were fine! The boat was fine, too, it kind of just bounced off and drifted a little. But we couldn't see a barrier at all before we hit it. There wasn't any kind of warning.
Yeah, it was fine. Clementine was steering at the time so I think it startled her more than anything but we just turned around and headed back after that.
Yeah, thought it'd be fun. It's pretty easy to get the hang of the basics anyway. [also clem is a fav and he will do just about anything for her at this point.] I'd be okay teaching anybody who asked.
Nah, not yet. I just cook whatever's around for whoever's around though. I don't mind. [people deserve to eat and if they can't cook for themselves they can deal with him walking himself through a recipe.]
[niji i will be nice and tell you that this is the boat thread and ergo there are no pancakes but the question doesn't change anything. also elsa can have pocket pancakes if she wants.]
I usually bring the Leaders food, and they seem to like it just fine. But I'll think about it. Sometimes people like other gifts, too.
Nah. I'm not so good at that stuff, but I like asking questions and trying to find stuff people might like in the different gateways or in the emporium.

I changed, and made the ice castle.
Yes.
[no one was there for that, sora.
NO ONE!!!]
I did do that. I remember that.

her mouth closes.
and opens again.]
Ah, yes. I was singing. Oh, yup. Nope. That memory is intact.
[BUT NO ONE WAS! THERE!! SORA!!!
she can feel herself teetering on the edge of a terrible truth. the worst possible reality. and then, she can hear herself asking the fated question:]
And you... remember that song...?
[pleasesaynopleasesaynopleasesaynoplease--]

elsa feels faint. sora looks unaffected.]
I... often find it helps.
[haha!
concealing!!]
That was three years ago, of course. So. [SO.]

If it helps it helps. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
no subject
Thank you. Um. For saying so.
[internally, elsa wishes she had never let anything go.]
So!
Sailing, huh? Wow! Ocean breeze!
no subject
Sailing! There's a barrier ahead that Clementine and I crashed into earlier this week, but we can still sail pretty far out from the port.
no subject
at least he's dropping it. how could otherworld elsa have allowed him to see all that??? didn't she want to die?]
You crashed? But you were both okay, right?
no subject
Yeah, we were fine! The boat was fine, too, it kind of just bounced off and drifted a little. But we couldn't see a barrier at all before we hit it. There wasn't any kind of warning.
no subject
Well. That's interesting, at least... as long as you were okay, I guess it's no big deal.

Have you made her any pancakes, yet? Could be good to keep up the practice. [kids are so cute when they're not trying to MARRY EACH OTHER!!!]

People like receiving gifts, don't they? You could give some to the leaders, too.
