[ it's all overwhelming, so there's silence that lapses between them as korra leads anna out to the hall, letting the other girl absorb the information. once they're out into the hall, a slab of rock rises out from the floor to form a chair for anna to sit on; korra relaxes her shoulders and feels her energy recede with her bending. ]

She'd say the same about you.

[deiced]

[ It's distracting enough that Anna barely registers the fact that her newfound companion just made a chair appear out of the ground. There's way weirder stuff happening right now anyway. Though there is a part of her that as she sits down thinks that it must be nice for Elsa, to know someone who has powers too, even if they're not the same ones. ]

Me? Oh, no, no. I mean I guess I used to feel that way, but then there was this whole thing with the coronation, y'know, where she kind of set off this eternal winter by accident and after that I feel like I kind of get it? It's kind of funny really, she thawed it out for us like I knew she would and it was starting to look like things might be different now but...

[ Even feeling as lost and overwhelmed as this, Anna is still Anna, and along with her tendency toward rambling come gestures that grow more animated as she talks - until she trails off, hands falling back into her lap. ]

... You said she told you about me?

[sangilak]

[ but through the rambling, korra feels the little bits and pieces of elsa's story start to fall into place, and she thinks she understands better now. calling up her own slab of rock, korra drops herself down into a seated position across from anna so that she can meet her eyes. ]

Uh huh! She was looking for you when she first arrived, too. So, I told her I'd keep a lookout.

[ elsa didn't mention you were adorable like bolin??? you'll be adopted into the family soon enough, anna, i'm so sorry. ]

[deiced]

[ This time, the summoning of rock up out of the ground catches Anna's eye, and she watches with interest as it's done. Of course, she's just ordinary - but she's found herself thinking sometimes, wondering what it'd be like to do things like that. ]

You two are friends?

[ It's a genuine question, but she's clearly pleased by the idea. Just like Anna to find the positives in difficult situations. ]

[sangilak]

[ again korra nods, brightening at the more positive shift of subject. ]

Uh huh! I've been helping her learn how to control her ice-bending.

[ beat ]

—Powers.

[deiced]

That's what it is?

[ She makes a vague rising gesture with her hands, meaning to refer to the way Korra made these seats appear for them. ]

'Bending'? Because that's really amazing - I mean I thought maybe if I'd had powers too then she wouldn't have had to shut herself away like she did and...

[ Her smile grows. ]

I'm glad she met you.

[ A beat, and then, jokingly: ]

You couldn't teach me, could you?

1/2

[sangilak]

[ oh spirits, elsa... elsa, elsa, elsa... you poor thing. this is going on korra's list of things to talk to elsa about, and korra feels sympathy for the history that anna's sharing with her. she knows better than to comment on it, though. the timing isn't right at the moment.

i'm glad she met you, and korra smiles, genuine. ]

Yeah, I can! [ so what if anna just said she didn't have powers, that's easily changeable. ] The Monarchs can give you something if you ask for it.

[sangilak]

[ ... ]








Just, don't ask for fire. Please don't ask for fire.

[deiced]

[ Anna doesn't bother hiding her surprise - she'd meant that as a joke! She couldn't, she... could she? ]

Well - no I was thinking - something... nice?

[ It probably says a lot that she's come this far and the idea that she might get to be like her sister is the most surreal thing yet. ]

Something a little less... dangerous...
