"You are going to become into frost, Bjorgman!"

Kristoff looked up startling. Until that precise time, he had been trying hard to focus his thoughts on the ice: on making the perfect cut, on getting a polished result which made him proud of, and, most of all, on not falling into the icy waters under him. Whatever that distract his thought enough to clear his mind from the constant coming and going of ideas and doubts about what happened.

Nevertheless, there, in the middle of nowhere, his eyes met Elsa's; those of a visibly angry Elsa. The ethereal and pure look that always emanated since she had found her fifth spirit identity had been replaced by a spiny and electric aura which make clear that there was no room to take not even a single wrong step.

"Elsa..."

"You are going to tell me right now what are you doing here in the middle of the mountains while mi sister cries alone in her bedroom if you don't want to be one more icicle of the landscape."

The boy gulped.

"I... er..."

The image of Elsa in those moments was intimidating enough to cloud his thoughts a bit. Carefully, he mentally reviewed his words, trying to make his explanation understandable enough so that she didn't unload her powers on him. Clearly, the first thing to do was to get out of the frozen lake before causing an accident.

Elsa's patience was wearing thin with the long time that this reflexion was taking him.

"Let us go to a safer place and I'll explain why... Wait!" He finally reacted. "You've said cries? Is Anna crying?

A sincere expression of concern and regret was reflected on the boy's face, calming Elsa's anger a bit.

"Ok. You have a chance" she snapped sharp and cold.

Kristoff carefully collected his gear and put them on the sled where his friend Sven was enjoying the caresses that Elsa had for him. In some awkwardness, they both got on and Kristoff led them to a wooded area free of ice. There, on some large boulders, they sat facing each other; she dignified and angry and he downcast and thoughtful.

The warm air of that summer morning blew through the trees and gave Sven a good relaxing time with his partner.

"I'm listening," Elsa said hurrying him.

Kristoff sighed.

"I love Anna," he began to say petting his friend's head. "I've never had any doubt. From the beginning, I realized that she was crazy," A wistful smile spread across his face until he realized how the girl was frowning. "In the best way! She's brave and funny, honest, very spontaneous, optimistic, strong, tender, and sometimes a bit childish. She's capable of giving everything to others; she always defends her ideas to the death and fights with everything she has; nothing stops her.

A slight smile escaped this time from the corner of Elsa's lips, giving him a breath to continue speaking more calmly.

"In addition, she is showing day by day that there is no better queen than her: she is close and kind to the people of the kingdom, she looks out for the good of her people more than anyone else and she tries very hard to make sure everything goes well."

Elsa cleared her throat, making him uncomfortable again and he felt foolish for trusting himself and talking too much.

"Don't get me wrong, It doesn't mean that you didn't, it's just that... fine, she..."

Kristoff rubbed the back of his head with some desperation not knowing how to get out of that mess and Elsa laughed.

"It's ok. Continue, please. What happened?"
