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.

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.

[ladenga]

And is that why you travel so far then?

[almightysound]

Among other reasons, yes. Research. Work.

[ladenga]

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?]

[almightysound]

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

[ladenga]

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]

[almightysound]

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

[ladenga]

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

What do you do]?

[almightysound]

I ensure that history unfolds as it should.

[ladenga]

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

[almightysound]

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.

[ladenga]

[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.

[almightysound]

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

I beg your pardon?

[ladenga]

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

Show me.

[almightysound]

Show you what? History? You're a queen; I rather think you witness it first-hand.

[ladenga]

I want to see this history you speak of. I want to see these people and worlds that you've seen.
