After they dried themselves up and changed their clothes, with the three of the women this time in dresses, since Anna and Rapunzel didn't need the armor for now. As for the gloves, even when they were soaking wet, Elsa refused what so ever to remove them. They then had to call for a healer to the room for Elsa. It was a bit hard for them to change Elsa's soaked bandages since the woman wouldn't stay still at all with the new female healer. At the end, the healer got frustrated and left, so Anna had to be the one to change Elsa's bandages, and Elsa gladly accepted and then calmed down.
"What a bitch." Rapunzel muttered when the healer left since the woman didn't have any empathy for Elsa and didn't have patience for the frightened princess, and the quick peeks of fear from the woman towards Elsa didn't go unnoticed by Anna.
"Tell me about it." Anna whispered back while both were watching Elsa water the rose happily. Anna suddenly felt heartbroken but she kept her smile. She was heartbroken because she saw Elsa's eyes. Because no one in this stupid fort could see the way those eyes lit up and sparkled when Elsa smiled and felt happy. How can people be so ignorant? She thought angrily at them. She could feel the fire inside of Elsa that couldn't help but to shine bright, and she knew that everyone would never see her pure light no matter what Elsa did. Unfortunately, Elsa's first impression was accidently shown horribly, and now most of them feared her. If they could only see right through Elsa's weird yet gorgeous appearance and just feel Elsa's pure heart. Was she giving Elsa too much trust? Was Elsa really dangerous like everybody was saying? Look at that face! How could she ever be dangerous?! Anna thought confusingly. The people were scared for their lives and their children' as if Elsa was a huge monster, roaming free and ready to kill anyone. She then looked at Elsa's joyful eyes. I promise you, Elsa… I will never believe it. You can count on me. Anna vowed and suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder that brought her back from her thoughts. She turned her head to see Rapunzel with a worried face.
"Are you okay, Anna?" Rapunzel whispered with a voice now full with real concern.
Anna faked a smile and quickly nodded, "O-Of course! Why would you say that? I'm fine." She said and tried to widen her smile as much as she could.
Rapunzel look at Anna's face, "You're crying." She noted and it was only then did Anna felt her wet cheeks.
Anna's eyes widened and she quickly wiped away her tears, "I-I am? Hah… I d-didn't notice." Anna said nervously and turned her head to hide her tears. "I-I was just lost in thoughts, is all." When she was sure her tears were gone, she turned back to the worried Rapunzel, "I'm fine, really." She said with something close to a smile.
Hearing Anna's tone of voice, Rapunzel understood that the redhead didn't wanted to talk about it. Oh Anna…
Before Rapunzel could say anything, Anna quickly turned back to Elsa, "Elsa?" She called.
Elsa turned, smiled widely and pointed at the healthy rose, "Good?!" She asked happily. Elsa had already asked about Zoey's flower and Anna nervously had to say that the flower had died because of an insect pest, in which even though Elsa probably hadn't understood much, she had been heartbroken.
Anna chuckled a bit, "I think that's enough water." Anna informed as she saw how the pot was flooded with water, "You do love flowers, don't you?" She asked and Elsa quickly nodded excitedly.
Elsa's face suddenly fell and Anna cursed herself when she saw it. She knew that Elsa noticed her sadness. "Anna?" Elsa called in concern. She placed the water jug on the table and approached Anna.
