Chapter Eight: Settling Down

Mathias was beyond curious as he looked around at what was inside the castle. But what really got him the most was a weird box on the wall which had Elsa in it. He stopped in front of it and stared at it trying to figure out what it was and luckily Kia and Kristoff noticed this but Kia explained.

"That's a patriot of our Queen, the women you met earlier." Kia said as he stood next to Mathias. Mathias grumbled in response but was still focused on the picture.

"Well i think we should get going the room is just up ahead." Kia said as he began to walk away along with Kristoff. Mathias stood in front of the patriot then slowly followed them, not caring if they lost him or not. He turned left to another long hallway and found the two standing in front of a door waiting for him.

"Queen, What's a queen? I've heard it somewhere before." Mathias thought as he walked up to the two men. Kia opened the door and lead them in and Mathias looked around with awe.

"This, sir will be your room." Kia announced as he stood by the door to let the taller man explore a bit.

Mathias walked to the center of the room and looked around him. He didn't know what this place was and why they brought him here.

"You'll be staying here sir." Kai continued as he pointed to the square looking thing. Mathias became curious and walked over to it. He sniffed it and didn't pick up anything so he laid his hand on it and it was soft to the touch. He looked at the two men hoping to get an answer about this object. Kia and Kristoff watched him in disbelief as he checked the bed as if he never seen one before. Kia coughed to get Mathias's attention.

"Ah, that's a bed sir, something to sleep on." Kia said to Mathias. This caught the taller man's attention.

"Something to sleep on. Why do these humans always got to make something to make themselves comfortable? But who am i to complain at the moment." Mathias thought as he got on the bed and just fell flat on his side enjoying the soft feeling of the bed. A sweet smell brought him out of his stupor and snapped his head toward the door to see Anna standing at the doorway to his room.

"Princess Anna, what are you doing here?" Kia asked once he noticed her presence. The women just smiled and walked into the room.

"I'm here to personally thank the man who saved my sister." Anna said as she stopped in front of the bed and beamed at Mathias. Mathias gave a low growl toward the younger girl, this infuriated Kia.

"Where are your manners! show some respect to the princess!" Kia sneered at the taller man who stared at him the same way.

"Kia, he doesn't know how to speak so he makes some noises to acknowledge people." Anna said defending Mathias who was staring at her in shock.

"Does he have to do it so savagely your highness." Kia retorted. Mathias got off the bed and was now standing beside Anna staring dangerously at Kia.

"Anna you've just met this man and you're already acting like you already know him." Kristoff stepped in. Anna was shocked by kristoff's words and was about to retort when Mathias roared in annoyance quieting everyone in the room. She was about to give him a piece of her mind when she noticed his attention was at the door. She quickly turned around and noticed her older sister standing at the doorway with Alice in her arms.

Elsa smiled at Mathias giving him a silent thank you after he got everyone quiet.

"E-Elsa, how long were you standing there?" Anna asked startled.

"Long enough to hear your conversation." She replied while struggling to hold Alice. Mathias walked over and took the girl from her arms and set her on the bed before facing everyone again. Anna was glaring at Kristoff for some reason Mathias was unsure of and didn't care since it's not his business and Kia was still sneering at him and Elsa sat down next to Alice before talking again.

"Alright, Mathias and Alice will be staying here for a while." Elsa declared with a small smile. Kia was shocked and Anna tried not to snicker.

"Your majesty, you can't be serious. The girl i understand but him!" He said pointing a finger at Mathias.

"Yes, Mathias here will be staying in the castle so you three will have to get along." Elsa retorted. Kristoff was taken back a bit.

"What do you mean by "You three"?" Kristoff asked as Elsa started to point her finger at the three men in the room. Kia and Kristoff looked at eachother then to the taller man in front of them.

"Y-yes, your majesty." The two men said in union. Elsa had a satisfied looked on her face until she realized Mathias hadn't said anything.

"Mathias?" Elsa asked him. The taller man raised his brow and gave her a confused look.

"He can't talk Elsa." Anna said with a sad smile. The young queen smiled and looked at Mathias.

"Guess we'll have to do something about that now don't we?" Elsa asked Mathias.

"The hell she talking about?" Mathias thought as the blond woman's smile grew wider.

"But we'll wait till after the Fall Festival and no later." Elsa declared as she got off the bed and began to walk out of the room but stopped and looked at Mathias.

"Make sure you wear proper clothing for tonight." Elsa said with a small giggle before leaving the room.

"What The Fuck! What is with you people and these cloths!" Mathias thought as he said as he banged his head on the nearest wall. Anna and Kristoff watched the seen before quietly leaving the room leaving Kia and Alice alone alone with him. Kia sighed and went out for a few minutes leaving Alice with Mathias.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked worriedly. After hearing this Mathias brought his head away from the dented wall and looked at the girl on the bed.

"They must of left her here." He thought with a sigh as he walked over to the bed and slightly nudged her shoulder with his nose and grumbled in response.

A light cough caught Mathias's attention and saw Kia standing in the doorway holding the "clothing" he's supposed to wear tonight for whatever thing these humans were talking about.

"Your cloths for this evening sir." Kia said as he set them on a near by chair and walked over to Alice.

"Miss Gerda would like me to bring you back to your room for dressing miss Alice." Kia said bowing slightly. Mathias looked at the weird set of clothing and back to Kia trying to figure out how to wear it since he figured it was only for "One Night" he could just get this over and done with it. Once he got the idea he went over and grabbed the part he got acquainted with "pants" and looked back to see Kia carrying Alice out of the room.

"You need some privacy young Mathias, once you're done i'll swing by and lead you to the gates where the queen will be waiting." He said as he closed the door leaving Mathias by himself. He looked at the clothes and started to take off his old ones and put on his new pair with ease and looked at the top parts.

"Humans." He thought as he grabbed the white under part and got it with ease then put on the last part and looked himself over.

"Well hell must've frozen over since i'm Human, atleast i"ll fit in for a while." Mathias thought sarcastically as he heard a knock on the door before it opened to reveal Kia.

"Well don't you look more like a gentleman sir." Kai said with a small smile but faded a bit.

"But you're missing your shoes." He said as he tried to hold back his laughter as Mathias groaned in irritation.

"Well we'll get you patched up and ready to go in no time." Kia said as he began to help improve Mathias's appearance for the festival.
