Are you sure about this, mun? Even now you seem a little unsure about having me around.

[Things don't instantly change. Elsa crosses her arms in front of her]

I'm not going back to hiding anymore. I can't hurt Anna. And Arendelle's summer is in full swing. There's nothing to worry about.

[Except for when you slip back to thinking like before. A small patch of black ice appears in the corner. Elsa shakes her head and takes a deep breath and the black ice disappears]

See? Nothing to worry about.

[She almost pulls away when he moves her hand to feel his heart. A heart. That was entirely normal, right? But then he moves her hand again. Her eyes widen when she feels another heartbeat in his chest. When he lets her hand go, Elsa immediately withdraws her hand]

...What are you?

Time Lord.

[He turns for a moment, tilting his head upwards. Koschei scans the ceiling for around five, maybe ten seconds, considering the turn of the universe, the angles of the planets and stars. He points at around a seventy degree angle.]

Gallifrey is ten million light-years that way. Past the stars.

[She looks up when he looks up, then back at him.]

You see the stars without aid.

[It isn't a question. It's a statement of wonder]

No. I recall the position they were in when I last saw them, calculate the trajectory and time passed, and determine where they currently are.

[He suddenly looks quite smug.]

I'm rather a genius, to be frank.

Or very studious.

[There's a very small quirk to her own lips]

Can't be one without the other. As I'm sure you know, Your Majesty.

I've read on so many different creatures and yet I have not come across any with two hearts.

[What was it like on Gallifrey, then?]

Are others in Gallifrey like you?

Hm? Oh, yes. Time Lords have two hearts; it's more convenient than a single vascular system. Honestly, I don't know how how you lot survive with just the one.

On Gallifrey. Not in. Gallifrey is a planet; not a kingdom.

Wouldn't two be too much for one body as your stature is that like ours?

[Gallifrey was beyond the stars, as he had shown earlier.]

Then what kingdom on Gallifrey do you hail from?

Hardly. Increased stamina, faster healing, less need for sleep. And that's operating under your assumption that our bodies are similar in ways other than mere appearances.

Gallifrey has no kingdoms. Just Gallifrey. Just the Time Lords. [well and the savages who live outside the walls, but who cares about them.]

No kingdoms? Then who takes care of Gallifrey? Oversees the trades, the people?

[She wishes she has her books so that she could add the details he speaks of to her collection of stories about strange creatures]

The landscape of Gallifrey oscillates between vast cities and expanses of empty wilderness, with no middle ground, as it were. Virtually every Time Lord who has ever lived is a dusty bureaucrat content to spend their days discovering new flavors of boredom.

I don't care.

And is that why you travel so far then?

Among other reasons, yes. Research. Work.

And how far have you been?

[There are all sorts of questions that are bubbling within her: Where he'd gone, if he'd had a favorite, where were others like her? Others that had powers?]

Several galaxies. A few hundred thousand years, in either direction.

What do you do? Is there a favorite place you've been?

[but she stops because it's rude to badger someone in a line of inquiry]

The details of my profession are...rather unsavory.

[that is a red flag, but she presses anyway]

What do you do]?

I ensure that history unfolds as it should.

And how do you do that? You can change history?

I can. Though I usually don't. The universe is made of such a vast network of coincidences and connections; it's tricky to meddle with. Every action has its consequences, like throwing a boulder into a pond.

[she knows that she shouldn't but the words kind of spill out before she could stop them. The gates of Arendelle are open and it's usually Anna that explores the outer world while Elsa keeps home and hearth but this time...]

Show me.

[And now, perhaps for the first time, he's taken aback.]

I beg your pardon?

[Her gaze is unwavering. Anna had her great adventure, now it may be Elsa's turn]

Show me.
