On the way back to the castle Jousekk told me how he had a brother that lived here and he that he was also visiting him. I knew had that feeling from him, that sort of brotherly but like a friendly feeling I got from Kristoff. But he looks nothing like him, maybe a different parent? I wanted to ask him but I didn't want to be rude.

"Is your brother, by any chance Kristoff?"

"How do you know Kristoff?"

"He uh, is kind of dating my sister" I told him.

"Oh he's dating the princess! He never told me!"

"Yeah they've been dating for quiet a while now. Almost a year. And now he's our official ice harvester and he's doing a pretty good job."

"Gosh, he never told me, he only told me that he moved into the city. Now look at him a girl and a good job!"

"So if you don't mind me asking, why don't you live with your brother?"

"I don't really mind, but got separated when we were young, I just got adopted by the trolls a few years before Kristoff. I'd meet him before but when I got old enough I left and moved to another country. I finally saved up enough money to come and see him. So here I am."

"Alright well I can take you right too him."

We finally made it to the main gates and walked along the streets of the city. I looked around the city feeling so much better than I did before and saw Jack. Jack! He came back! I smiled at him, feeling angry at myself for what I'd said earlier. He waves his hand at me, silently telling me to keep walking. I turn my head back to the street but out of the corner of my eye I can still see him smiling at me.

I drop my head looking at the ground, blushing hard at the look Jack was giving me. I can't believe no one else could see him, just me.

Then I hear Kristoff. I look up at him and Jousekk laughing and hugging, rejoicing. They looked so happy to see each other again, it made me so glad that they could be see each other again.

I looked over hoping that Jack was still there, and he was. Standing there leaning on his staff smiling at the brothers happiness. Then his eyes turned to me and I mouthed to him "I'm sorry."

He mouthed back to me "Its okay."

I looked back at the brothers and said, "I'll see you guys when I get back to the castle."

I walked over behind one of the buildings hoping Jack would follow me. He floated down in front of me from above.

"Jack, I'm so sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have yelled at you that way. I've just been so stressed out about everything but I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

"Elsa I understand, it's fine, I shouldn't have tried to push you into something you didn't want to do."

After he said that he pulled me into his arms and squeezed me tightly to his chest. His arms were wrapped around my waist so I placed my hands behind his head and hugged him back. We stayed that way for a few minutes and then he let go. I was quickly left missing the feeling of his arms wrapped around me, and the rich warmth that radiated off of him.

"You should get back to the castle before they really notice that you've been gone."

Oh yeah, it had complexity slipped my mind, that the representatives were here. That war could be on the horizon. I looked down at my feet, sighing. I really didn't want to go back to the castle, the atmosphere there was so tense. When I was there I felt like it had a rope around me throat, restricting me from talking, laughing, thinking about things other than resolution and war.
