The walk back to Arendelle was long and tiring. Both Keahi and Saphire were emotionally and mentally drained. But somehow, something was lighter between them.

  Pips was asleep, cradled on Keahi's back as they trudged into the dimly lit halls. It was late, and Saphire let out a groggy yawn. "Well I'm going to bed. I'll uh...talk to you tomorrow?" Instead of being haughty in her words she seemed unsure and even embarrassed.

   Keahi stopped to face her, adjusting a snoring Pips on her back. Who knew a four year old could be so heavy. Come to think of it, everything was heavy right now. "Of course. Let me know if you need anything."

   Keahi watched Saphire disappear down the hall and frowned before heading towards the room at the end of the hall.

   The door creaked open and Keahi tiptoed towards the bed to put Pips down. Across the room Olaf was asleep in his own bed, he was snoring and singing something about spring and leaves.

Keahi chuckled and headed back out, closing the door as silently as she could and headed back towards her own room.

   Scrubbing a hand down her face, she looked up in time to see Elsa rounding the corner in her magenta nightgown.

   She paused, just watching as a look of concern came to Elsa. She was a sight for sore eyes. But when she saw Elsa, she felt emotion sweltering in her that she had been holding back since she found out what happened to Saphire.

   To her astonishment, she felt tears swell in her eyes. Elsa crossed the hall quickly and before she knew it, Elsa had her arms around her without saying anything.

   Keahi didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around Elsas waist, burying her face into the softness of Elsas hair and taking comfort in the vanilla and lavender smell there.

   Elsa was quiet, both were until Elsa pulled back just enough to look at her. "Did you want to take a bath with me?"

   That...sounded nice. Keahi sniffed and nodded her head like the disheartened puppy she felt like in that moment. Elsa took her by the hand to lead her down the hall and towards the central area of the castle.

   The room was built like an indoor sauna, a large square bath with a small step to get into it was in the center of the room. Hot water already steamed from it.

   The top of Elsas nightgown slipped easily from her shoulder as she let it sod down the gentle curves of her body. Her skin smooth and flawless, she looked powerful and confident. She wasn't so shy anymore, especially when it came to them.

   Keahi suddenly felt completely vulnerable, and she wasn't sure how she felt about it.

   Elsa stepped into the water, taking her hair from its ponytail and letting it flow freely in coiled waves down her back.

   Keahi got undressed tiredly, everything that happened today had been so draining. She stepped into the bath and sunk down, the water feeling good against her body and she closed her eyes.

   When she opened them, Elsa was watching her with a tilted look. "Are you okay?" She finally asked.

Keahi leaned back, resting her head against the lip of the wooden, square tub. It was large and big enough for 3-4 people. It was nice to stretch out her legs in the warm water. "I think so."

   "Where did you go? I was worried." Elsa whispered, hugging herself and glancing away.

   "Saphire, Pips, and I went to go see Grand Pabbie. I thought he'd be able to help."
