eric sighed, “i don’t know.. it was just funny.” he repeated with a shrug. he knew he wasn’t being very helpful but he really just had a gut feeling about this. “i mean what is classified as cult activities? what if i get there and they try to brand me?”
☃️
anna squinted at him, somewhere between disbelief and annoyance. the mystery of these so called funny hats was going to bug her, she just knew it. still, she let it go with a frustrated huff.
“how should i know what counts as cult activities? i’ve never been in a cult! being creepy, i guess? maybe if you go to this weird meeting you can figure out what cult activities are. unless they try to brand you. then you should get out of there, like, yesterday. obviously. there’s probably books and documentaries if we really need to know.”

many things about the arnadalr family had blurred in his memory, but one that could not be forgotten was anna’s smile. it was the kind that held so much hope and joy that kit, already quite smiley himself, couldn’t help but mirror her elation. “…the southern isles? i have heard of them … they’re close to arendelle, are they not? but i regret to say i don’t know much about it. this will readily change, i assure you,” he winked. his heart warmed at how happy anna was. the words ‘dream come true’ tugged at his heartstrings more than he expected them to … had he not once met a ‘dream come true’ at a ball?
“—a horse?” kit threw his head back with laughter. “how does one —? anna, how did that even happen? did he not see you, or did you not see him…?” his laughter peetered off but his smile remained. “it’d be an honour to meet him. prince hans. we should all have dinner together : you, and me, and elsa, my brothers, everyone’s partners.” then he paused, trying to catch his excitement before it got away from him. “or would that be too much?”
☃️
“kit, don’t be weird about it,” she whined, though there was too much excitement in her eyes for it to really sound like a complaint.
“i don’t know! i was excited, and it’s not like i got out much before the coronation! or, like, ever. why would i expect there to be a horse to watch out for?” a laugh coloured her voice as she spoke eagerly. she’d never actually had an opportunity to tell anyone this before, had she? it was thrilling, the words tumbling out with so much ease it was as if no time had passed at all. at least until he mentioned elsa, and all that joy faltered.
she couldn’t help her wince, turning her face ahead of them as if she could hide it. “i don’t know if elsa would really like that. last time we really talked about me and hans it ended... badly.” like, made her run to a whole other country bad. she tugged nervously at the end of one of her braids with one hand, loosening her grip on his arm a little. it felt a little like bringing up elsa’s reaction would jinx it. like it would make kit change his mind and side with anna’s older sister - and she didn’t want there to be sides. there weren’t sides! she wanted a dinner like that. now she thought about it, when was the last time she’d actually had dinner with elsa? she cleared her throat, tone becoming more upbeat as she added, “and he’s in arendelle, anyway! so, kinda hard to have dinner together.”

“wait, what?” anna blurted out as she came to an abrupt stop, turning confused eyes from the staff in front of her to the boy holding it. “why? and how do you know that? and which monster? not one of the big freaky ones from those attacks a while ago, right?”
location: by the edge of the woods
time: evening
“shit!” i wouldn’t go in there if I were you,“ jack said, stopping the stranger from entering with his staff.
“the monster everyone seems to be talking about like to dig holes in those woods”

ROSY LIPS CURL INTO A SMILE with anna's comment , taking it as a little blessing of sorts , a way of knowing there was nothing really wrong with their home even if philip wasn't there . well , not completely . deep down , it wasn't the mess itself that bothered aurora ; she'd made her peace with it . it was the fact that the entire place felt less like half philip's and more like a perfect representation of aurora's coping mechanisms . namely the remnants of stress baking , an unfinished puzzle and a pile of books she couldn't find the interest to read .
her eyes went a bit wide as she led the redhead inside . was it common for all royalty to just disappear from each other's lives ? ❛ oh ? he's definitely missed you then . philip has a wonderful memory , ❜ she assures with a small , knowing it to be true but also all too happy to gush about her husband . then , something else caught her attention , ❛ cooties … what are those ? why , i bet he had cooties himself ! ❜ a proud huff escapes her , only for a tiny giggle to follow after . the first semblance of real laughter from her in a while . ❛ which brother would that be ? i've met both , hopefully things are amicable between them and your sister . ❜ and if not , aurora would be happy to help .
the thought of a younger philip finding romance gross comes as both endearing and beyond belief . ❛ i can't imagine that , he's always been so romantic with me . even when i first met him ! a bit forward- well , very forward , but not in a bad way at all . maybe you would've laughed at him . do you or did you also use to think romance is gross ? ❜ aurora asked , curiosity in her words . when the two women reached the door to the bedroom , her expression changed a bit . it saddened . slowly , after taking a deep breath , she opened the door and spoke quietly to anna . ❛ take your time , he'll probably be happy to hear someone that isn't me or kit or florian … i'll make something for us . do you like tea or coffee ? ❜ head tilts to the side , ❛ maybe hot chocolate ? ❜
☃️
anna positively beamed, lighting up like a morning sun, at the assurance that philip will have missed her. that he remembered her. of course he would. she remembered him, after all. “cooties are germs, basically. girl germs. and boy germs. he definitely had cooties,” she explained, after hiding her giggle behind her hand. aurora was so easy to talk to, and she was pleased for it. philip deserved that. “oh, it was florian. i think they used to write each other letters, but i don’t really know how things are now.” maybe she’d ask elsa, next time they spoke. that wouldn’t be too pushy, would it?
it was both strange and fitting to picture philip as a romantic. because as much as he had protested, she couldn’t imagine him not throwing his all into a relationship. “no, no, i’ve always loved romance. i mean, there’s nothing more wonderful than true love, is there?” she answered, a wistful note to her voice. anything more than that, though, was halted as they reached their destination. he’s too still, was her first thought. in her memory, she and philip had always been moving. “hot chocolate, please,” she murmured, dragging her eyes away long enough to give as warm a smile she could muster, tight-lipped as it was.
and then, before she lost her nerve, she stepped into the room.
there was a few awkward moments of figuring out where to sit - going from perching on the bed, to debating sitting on the floor, and finally dragging the chair closer to the bedside and curling up in it, one leg pulled up to rest her chin on her knee. “hey, pip. you in there?” she finally asked, gently knocking her knuckles against his forehead twice. there wasn’t a reaction, but she hadn’t really expected one. “it’s anna. from arendelle. remember me? it’s been a while, but i sure hope you remember me. we used to fight dragons together, and it’d be so awkward if you’d forgotten.” she huffed out a breath, blowing her bangs out of her eyes.
“you sure grew up, huh? and you’re married! aurora said you were very forward - she’s right, i might’ve laughed at you if i’d been there. what happened to girls being gross? i’m kidding. i’m glad you have someone. guess what? i’ve got someone too! i’m engaged. isn’t that magical? sometimes it doesn’t feel real. guess i grew up too. weird, how that happened. i don’t always feel that grown up, you know. i swear i don’t know what i’m doing half the time, but you just gotta keep going. keep trying. right? right.
anyway, i just wanted to say i missed you. miss you. both. do me a favour and wake up soon, okay? aurora seems too nice to be kept waiting like this. and i’m doing all the work here to catch up, which is so unfair.”
with a quiet goodbye to the sleeping prince, she slipped out of the room again to rejoin aurora, making sure to leave the door half open behind her. just in case. just in case of what, she wasn’t sure. but it felt right.

“well, there was this guy in a funny hat… and he started asking me all these questions about my life and then i signed this paper and he told me he couldn’t wait to see me at the meeting tuesday… and now i need to find a plant based dish to bring.”
☃️
“funny hat how? i can think of lots of funny hats that wouldn’t mean cult. you’re not giving me much to go off here - i’d say you’ve gotta go to the meeting to figure out what’s going on, but if it is a cult you probably shouldn’t. who knows what culty activities you’d get pulled into.”

they walked through the club as regally as two royals could, and kit was chuckling the whole way through, holding his arm out in front to block anyone from accidentally spilling their drink on them or bumping into anna. “although…?” he echoed in a sing-song, smiling enquiringly. then his smile turned into a full-fledged grin. “ah! so there IS a someone! look at your smile,” he teased, reaching up to poke her cheek gently. “they must be utterly spectacular, you deserve nothing less. who are they? might i know them already?” he had to ask. there were only so many royals around, of course, and his father had wanted him to know about them all, so there was a good chance. though it seemed the longer he stayed in elias, the more kingdoms and countries popped up that he’d never even heard about.
☃️
anna couldn’t fight the blush that coloured her cheeks the moment kit pointed out her smile. she couldn’t fight the smile either, for that matter - in fact, kit’s questions simply made her beam. butterflies were already fluttering in her stomach at the prospect of spilling about hans. she wanted to tell someone and have them be happy for her - things had gone so wrong with elsa, and kristoff had hardly been nice about it. and, now that kit was back in her life, she wanted him to be happy for her. it wasn’t like it would replace the approval she wanted from elsa, but at least it would ease the sting. “his name is hans. prince hans, of the southern isles. you might not have heard of him - it’s a small kingdom and he has, like, twelve brothers, but... he’s wonderful,” she sighed dreamily, letting her thoughts drift back to elsa’s coronation. “handsome and funny and sweet and he looks at me like - like i’m a dream come true.” and he had from that first moment. just me, she’d said. and he’d responded with just you? like anna being just anything was surprising. she snorted in laughter as she remembered what had come before that. “he accidentally hit me with his horse when we first met, you know. it was super awkward - well, i was super awkward. he was a perfect gentleman.”

THE OTHER REDHEAD’S SURPRISE makes her giggle , as ariel didn't see the amount of sisters she had as anything out of the usual . perhaps to humans it was , or maybe she'd become plain accustomed to be the seventh daughter of triton . ❛ six ! i have six sisters — aquata , andrina , arista , attina , adella and alana ! attina is the oldest of us seven . ❜ thinking about how her sisters might have reacted to her disappearance brought a heavy feeling to her chest . she'd never meant to hurt them or cause worry , but there was no way they would've understood . they never did , how could they ? not wanting to give room to the possibility of missing her sisters , ariel promptly began to lead the way towards the art gallery once again , though she wasn't too sure where it was located . today's adventure had been anna's idea , after all ! ❛ what are art galleries like ? i've never been to one before ! ❜ nor was she sure of what a gallery was , but it seemed fun .
☃️
there was a certain kind of wonder at hearing confirmation that, yes, six sisters was right. anna listened to the names with a furrowed brow focus, as if there were going to be a test on them later. “wow… hey, all ‘a’ names! i’d fit right in!” she pointed out, bumping her shoulder with ariel’s playfully. “in my family there’s only two of us - me and elsa. and, well - having six sisters sounds super fun. y’know, my fiance, hans, has twelve brothers. i’m starting to wonder if only two kids is weirder than i thought it was,” she continued, doing her best to brush over the strain between her and elsa and instead lingering on what having six sisters in the castle growing up would’ve been like. it seemed less lonely - but then, if talking to hans was any indication, more siblings didn’t necessarily stop you being lonely.
anna hurried to keep up as ariel kept moving, pulling her around a corner before they walked entirely past it and inevitably ended up lost. she let the thoughts about complicated familial relationships fall away in favour of the very important task of describing an art gallery. “oh, it’s this whole building just filled with art - mostly paintings, but there’s some sculptures and other stuff sometimes. they’re beautiful - and you can buy a whole bunch of cute souvenirs in the gift shop once you’re done looking at them!”

letters to Arendelle - 1/?
Dear To
Dear Hans,
So, there was this whole flower festival thing for February (and Valentines Day, specifically), and I couldn't help thinking of you. I keep wondering if something like that festival ever happened in Arendelle - I don’t remember any, but I think a lot of things stopped when we closed the gates. Do the Southern Isles have any Valentine's festivities? Or is it not really a thing there? It's all just exciting, the idea of a festival full of flowers and love. If I knew how to make them last, I'd send some flowers with this. I guess I could try pressing them, but that seems like it'd take a while and
Crocuses (croci? Is it just crocus? crocus flowers?), or however you pluralise it, should be blooming soon - they’re a late winter, early spring flower that my mother taught me about (she said they were a sign of hope, because they meant spring was coming) and
Ugh.
It's so much easier to talk to you in person. I keep losing track of where I was going, or how I wanted to say something. The night we met it felt like we could talk forever and never get bored. I want to ask questions and not have to wait for an answer. Guess I just don’t have that kind of patience. I want to look at flowers together. I want to show you all the interesting places and people I've met. I want to try dancing at a ball again! I think I dance better when I’m dancing with you - isn’t that funny? Maybe I’d just gotten all the stumbling out with that Duke beforehand, but I think it was more who I was dancing with. You make me feel utterly graceful.
It's silly to say I miss you, right? Of course I miss you. With any luck, I can sort things out with Elsa and we can both come home soon.
Thank you for looking after Arendelle. It's a lot to do for little old me.
And pick some crocuses when they start to bloom. They should be near the edge of the palace gardens. Pretend I gave them to you.
Lots of love,
Anna.

when he finally registered what she was saying, kit’s face loosened into a bright smile. he let out a joyful laugh. all at once, he was more than happy to abandon the pile of belongings, trusting that someone else would handle the situation while he went to dance with the lovely princess anna. and just like seeing elsa, standing in front of anna again was strange, but not unwelcome. in fact, he’d missed them. terribly. he wished he’d been able to spend more time with the arnadalr family, and help them when they needed.
“it would be an honour to dance with you,” the prince grinned. the reminder of the pile made him think though. he hummed: “…perhaps you could step on my feet while we locate the actual cloakroom and notify them of this. shall we?” kit held out his arm to her, winking as he did. “i hope i’m not taking you away from someone.” he looked behind her, as if expecting a figure waiting for the princess.
☃️
anna beamed, immediately craning her head around to catch a glimpse of the fabled cloakroom. “we shall,” she agreed, taking his offered arm and feeling rather dignified for it. she’d forgotten that - how kit had always made her feel a little more graceful and princessy. in a good way, of course. maybe it was just the comfort and confidence of having him at her side. she couldn’t help following his glance behind her, turning her head to look and then feeling a little silly as she registered his statement. “oh, no. i’m all yours,” she assured, giving his arm an accompanying pat and starting to pull him in what she was pretty sure was the direction of the cloakroom. “although…” she continued after a considering pause, excitement beginning to spark as she remembered the someone she hadn’t had a chance to tell him about yet, “i guess i might have news on the someone front…”

“wait, what?” anna interrupted, coming to an abrupt halt in the middle of the sidewalk - and therefore stopping ariel in her tracks too, thanks to their linked arms. she had been guiding them both to the art gallery she’d found the other day - there was something so magical about being able to look at new paintings of new people (or, not new, necessarily, but unfamiliar), instead of the same ones she’d seen everyday her whole life. however, any thought of adventures for the day were easily shoved aside in favor of what she’d just learned. “you have how many sisters?” her tone was somewhere between wonder and disbelief, and she was reminded of the moment she’d learned hans had twelve brothers. it was a pretty similar feeling.

“Well, you’re just in luck. I’m a huge comic book nerd.” He shouldn’t have said that. Marco liked comics, but he really didn’t have that much time for them anymore. In fact, this was the first time he’d been in a comic store for a long time. Ever since school started. But he looked at the red head in front of him and had no idea what to recommend to someone random. “Well, what kind of stories do you like?” he asked, figuring that’s where he’d start. “Everyone likes different things. Like for me, I like the action sequences. I’ve been learning karate since I was little, but if you like stories, then there are different books that I’d recommend. Just up to your preferences. Although a good place to start is with something like Sailor Moon. That’s actually manga, but it’s still a good one.”
anna’s expression lit up at the indication he would help her out - clearly she was in luck. "oh, well. i like all kinds of stories - i did a lot of reading growing up." she'd read every interesting book in the library at least once, she was pretty sure. made her feel less lonely. "folk tales and love stories and magic and - oh, i got really into joan of arc for a few years. i like an adventure, i guess,” she concluded with a shrug, not entirely sure how helpful she'd actually been. her eyebrows furrowed, putting a mental pin in sailor moon to focus on the more confusing part of what he'd said. “wait, what's manga?"

THE RAPID KNOCKING SNAPS AURORA away from her thoughts , violet gaze lifting from the many papers scattered on the kitchen table . papers ranging from a list of magic users or possible magic users in town all the way to whatever she'd been able to find on curses . one might argue it was a lot , far too much , though aurora believed it wasn't nearly enough . how lucky it was to have been interrupted before the princess could spiral into her own catastrophic thoughts , which seemed to be the norm as of late .
pulling her long robe tighter around herself , almost as a shield of some kind , she took small yet quick steps towards the door and opened it just a bit ; enough to spot an unfamiliar girl on the other side , but also enough to feel safe . to keep philip safe , or at least as safe as he could be in a moment like this . it wasn't long before the blonde warmed up to the other . she seemed nervous yet genuine , and aurora could empathize with that . she could appreciate it , too .
slowly , a tiny smile appears on her rose colored lips . it's a tired smile , but it's genuine . ❛ hi anna . ❜ she greeted , her saccharine voice quiet and gentle . one could argue this girl could be maleficent in disguise , but aurora felt it wasn't the case . the mistress of evil had made it clear she had no intent of hiding from the princess or her loved ones . ❛ it's really lovely to meet you , i'm aurora . come in . ❜ stepping aside , she opened the door wider to let the other girl come in . ❛ he's in our room , i'll show you the way … sorry about the mess , ❜ spoken in an apologetic tone , though she's certain the other will understand . once the redhead came in , aurora closed the door and nodded towards the bedroom door , leading the way towards it . ❛ he's not moving but i think he can hear . in fact i talk to him all the time , ❜ a confession that steals a small , weak chuckle from aurora . ❛ i'm happy to meet one of his friends . ❜
☃️
“hi,” anna greeted, again, feeling the nerves ever-so-slowly draining out of her now that she was face-to-face with aurora. maybe it was just that the door opening felt like half the battle already, or maybe it was just that the woman on the other side of it had the kind of presence that put her at ease. a little of both, probably. nonetheless, when she stepped through the door it was with hesitation. she felt a little like she was intruding, for all the gentleness of aurora’s welcome.
at aurora’s offer to show her philip, she blinked in surprise. “oh! right.” she hadn’t really thought that far ahead. “mess is fine,” she added as an afterthought, nerves skyrocketing again as she followed aurora. what would she even say to philip? just... anything? then again, it wasn’t like she didn’t have experience with one-sided conversations! she’d figure that bit out, she was pretty sure.
anna frowned, however, at aurora calling her one of philip’s friends. it didn’t quite sit right. “i’m not really... it’s been a long time since i’ve seen him,” she explained quietly. “but i’m happy to meet you too! and it’s kinda funny, because last time i saw him, he would’ve definitely thought you had cooties. we used to tease his brother and my sister about being betrothed - mostly because it was funny, but he was full ‘romance is gross’ back then.”

"no," anna replied, eyebrows furrowed and raising her voice a little to be heard. it was hard not to stare at kit, just a little, but she was managing it. it was just weird to see him again. it felt like she was still replacing the boy she'd known through hazy, warm memories with the man in front of her. just running into him out in the world was strange. it felt like seeing him out of his natural habitat (which, she assumed, was something vaguely castle-shaped. at the very least a little more... fairytale). "i was asking if you'd come dance with me," she repeated, moving a little closer - and properly off the dance floor - so they could hear each other better. "but if you want, i could just step on your feet while you watch people's stuff," she added, the hint of a grin on her lips.

“ i — i beg your pardon ? ” it didn’t help that he stood right at the edge of the dancefloor, the music blaring so loud that he could barely here what anyone was saying without shouting. looking down at the pile of coats, jackets, and bags next to him, he gestured at it with a smile.
“ you’re more than welcome to add to the pile, i — i offered to watch over one person’s belongings and then it appears i’m now an additional coat-checker, ” he did an awkward laugh. he hadn’t left the spot for the past fifteen minutes. “ i’m sorry, was that your question ? ”

anna looked up, a little startled by suddenly being addressed, but smiling at the question. “oh, i’m just looking, i’ve got no clue where i would start.” there was something engrossing about browsing over the bright colors, though. they were all so different from the library back home that she had thoroughly exhausted over the years. that meant it was almost exciting just browsing without really knowing anything about comics. she dragged her attention from the shelf to look at him with bright eyes. “what about you? is what you’re reading any good? any chance you have recommendations for me?”
STATUS: open.
LOCATION: comic book store.
TIME: closing time.
Marco was engrossed in a comic and hadn’t even noticed how late it had gotten. He didn’t want to go home yet, but he really wanted to finish this series before getting home to do homework. Marco heard the word closing time from one of the employees and looked up. “I had absolutely no idea that it was this late already. Guess I get really into this series.” He sighed. “Are you reading anything interesting or just browsing?”

anna had missed a lot of things when the castle shut it’s gates. exploring along the docks, for one. all the townspeople for another. her sister most of all. but she’d also missed visiting the charmonts. when elsa told her to go away, she’d find herself missing dancing on kit’s feet, and making fun of elsa and florian’s betrothal, and running around fighting imaginary dragons with philip. she’d missed philip especially - hiding a super broken, super expensive vase bonded you for life, she was pretty sure. point was, it was a bond that had faded to a pleasant, hazy, and warm little memory.
until now. and finding out the prince in a coma was philip. now she was here, standing awkwardly in front of a door. story of her life, right? she raised a determined hand and -
knock, knock, knock-knock, knock.
“uh. hi!” she greeted with a tiny little wave and accompanying tiny little smile when the door opened. “um, look, this is totally crazy but i used to be friends with philip when i was little - there was this whole thing with my sister and his brother, that’s not important - anyway, i read about what happened to him and i didn’t even know he was here but i just... wanted to come by and check in, i guess,” she explained, twisting her hands together nervously as she rambled. a beat passed before a moment of self-awareness hit and she scrambled to add; “my name’s anna, by the way. probably should’ve started with that.”

when anna thought about seeing kit charmont again, she’d never imagined herself a little sweaty from dancing, with enough glitter on her cheeks to match her freckles and fake wings on her back. at a certain point, reuniting with him became more of a vague hope than anything - and certainly not something she thought would happen here. it’d been years, after all.
so when a man approached, clearly knowing who she was, kit charmont was not her first thought. instead, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. he looked achingly familiar - she must’ve seen him at the community centre, but that didn’t feel quite right. then he introduced himself and it clicked into place. “kit!?” her eyes widened before the grin bloomed on her face and she launched at him with the tightest hug she could muster. “of course i remember, are you kidding? wait -” she pulled back, keeping her hands on his arms while she took in this new, older kit and matched him with the younger one from warm and fuzzy childhood memories, “- i’ve definitely seen you around before, have you really been here the whole time?”
♛・*˚ CLOSED STARTER ( halloween event )
for @princess-fiestypants
kit blinked at the red-haired young woman, his eyes narrowing as he tried to place her in his memory. he remembered seeing her in the community centre, perhaps that was it — but only when a memory of elsa appeared in his vision did he finally, fully, remember.
he stepped forward, drawing her attention with a little wave of his hand. “pardon me, please forgive me for the intrusion, but … might you be anna, of arendelle?” he smiled, eyes twinkling with recognition. he figured that she wasn’t meant to be outed as royalty here too. “i’m not sure if you’ll remember, we’ve met once before … but also further back in time. you were smaller, practically an ankle-biter,” he teased. “my name is kit, from ulstead.”
