THIS FROZEN PRINCESS IS SO HOMELESS RIGHT NOW

[snehjerte]

It's finally opening night!!

We've been waiting months for this, mun! I'm so excited, I just-- Of course this means you're bringing me somewhere, right? And you know when I say "somewhere," I'm hoping that there's soup, roast, and ice cream there. And my sister will have to be there, too. Hah! Imagine bringing me someplace where I can't talk to my sister! [Hahahaha... Laugh it up, Anna. Laugh it up.]

Oh, mun, I can't wait to meet everyone! This is-- This'll be so nice!

[bindsthedead]

Everyone? And games aren't exactly nice.

[snehjerte]

[She waves a hand dismissively.] Oh, sure they are. It's just a matter of perspective!

And yes, everyone! Or, well, as many as I can meet.

[bindsthedead]

Even if those people might be- unkind? [Admittedly, unless they're undead, Sabriel isn't always the best at spotting those.] And games can be dangerous places.

[snehjerte]

Oh. Well. Every cloud has its silver lining, am I right?

And I'm sure games can be, but don't worry. I'm not afraid. And besides, my mun wouldn't do anything to try and hurt me. [......]

[doubleroseknight]

Opening night! The glitz and glamour of the stage, where ev'ryone puts on a mask and all open their minds tae the works of whimsy...

[The pale-faced man chuckles, tapping his chin with an armored finger.]

But... perhaps not ev'ryone ye meet this day would be of a savory disposition, lass.

[snehjerte]

That's funny. It seems like I'm hearing that a lot lately.

Why is everyone so quick to tell me that I won't be meeting anybody nice??

[doubleroseknight]

Nou, I ne'er said that. Ye should meet plenty o'kind and gracious guest in your stay.

Just that not all'o'them should be so.

[snehjerte]

But see, I'm hoping for more of the first kind! I'm sure there will be some of the second kind, but still.

[forversailles]

Oh, ice cream. Such a treat requires a lot of ice, hmm?

[doubleroseknight]

Oh, aye. Such should be the desire of any sane person. Just be cautious, lass, who ye choose tae trust.

Just a warning out of friendly concern.

[snehjerte]

Oh... Thanks! That's really good advice!

I guess you must have some experience with running into those unsavory types, huh?

[snehjerte]

Well... Yes! Around Arendelle, there are plenty of places to harvest ice all year, so... we never really have a shortage of it!

[forversailles]

How lucky! In Versailles, we are only able to eat ice cream in the winter. [ For obvious reasons. ] What other treats have you had?

[snehjerte]

There's soup, of course. Hot glog, chocolate- Love chocolate! Ooh! If you've never had Krumkake, you should definitely try it. And Julekake, too. Those are delicious!

[forversailles]

Oh, I've never tried any of those foods besides the chocolate. I -- what is hot glog?

[doubleroseknight]

[He lets out a bark of laughter and leans on the spear he'd been carrying.]

Aye, lass! When one is acquainted with the Fae, one tends to be frugal with one's trust lest they find themselves not half the man they used tae be.

[That, and he's one of those 'unsavory types' himself.]

[snehjerte]

Oh, glogg is the best drink to get you through the winter. You mix in orange juice with cloves and raisins and cinnamon and a whole bunch of other stuff - ginger, prunes, all that - heat it up on a pan, pour in some wine, and BAM! Hot glogg!

I've never made it myself, but I think that's how it's done.

[forversailles]

Must be. I've never heard of such an interesting recipe. [ Or cooking method, but then what is foreign food to a foreigner anyhow? ] I have have had wine, however. Just a tad.

[snehjerte]

The Fae? [She's never heard that term before.] Are they anything like trolls?

[snehjerte]

I've only ever had wine when it's mixed into glogg. I've had a little bit of champagne before, though! Not the same, I know, but- [She shrugs with a small, sheepish laugh.] -that's sort of the best I've got.

[forversailles]

Best to have those kinds of drinks in moderation. [ Not that watching her brothers be drunk asses isn't entertaining. She just doesn't want to suffer the same embarrassments. ]

We have a delicious beverage in Versailles. It's called hot chocolate. We take cocoa beans, shave them, then add creams as well as heated milk fresh from our dairy. It will warm you up from the tips of your fingers to the bottoms of your toes.

[snehjerte]

[That makes her laugh a little. She's seen what happened to some of the castle staff when they had more than their fair share of wine and champagne.] That is kind of the rule of thumb, isn't it?

Oooooh... Hot chocolate as a beverage sounds wonderful! I could definitely have some of that right about now.

[doubleroseknight]

Fae is another word for 'fairy-kind,' lass, but not the bonny bewinged wee pixies ye might envision. Tricky creatures who favor deception and illusion tae anythin' straightforward.

As for trolls... aye, ye could say they're another sort of fae.

[forversailles]

[ A laugh. ] I'm sure we can find some somewhere close by to here. Maybe we can even find some glogg. [ Because who is Henriette to not go out on food adventures. Only…

Oink. Oink.

A little piggy pokes its head out from beneath Henriette's skirts. ]

Claude would have some as well.

[madangry_madcrazy]

You are way too cheerful. Stop that.
