It's been some time since you've brought me out, Mun. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me.

Not plotting something, I hope. You have too much on your plate to add another project just to bother me with me.

As bad as my King.

[freezemyheart]

Oh, but I'm sure your King is quite pleased whenever he has your complete attention.

I know I would be.

[queenofclocks]

[Coughs, going pink.]

Well, unfortunately court duties often keep us busy, Princess Anna.

[freezemyheart]

Oh, but I'm sure you can make time, right?

I mean, isn't it better when you get to spend your time in the castle with the person you love? Always being with them. Always checking on them and playing with them!

[queenofclocks]

We do our best to make time. But sometimes we have to travel, or there are meetings that get in the way.

Of course it's better. Just not always possible.

[freezemyheart]

Oh? Don't you travel together?

You should! Oh you should visit Arendelle! It should be summer... soon.

Even if it's summer, you can still enjoy snow if you go inside the gates.

[queenofclocks]

Not always. The Queens of Hearts, Diamond, Clubs and I pay more visits to each other than our Kings.

That would be lovely. I'll talk to our Jack to see about arranging it!

[freezemyheart]

Wait, is that a thing? Queens meeting with other Queens. Well I suppose it should. I should check with Elsa on that. I mean, I might be of some help if she goes during royal trips, right?

Yes! And when you get there, I'll introduce you to my sister!

[queenofclocks]

It is between our four kingdoms at least.

I look forward to it. I've wanted to speak with her since I heard about the situation with her coronation, actually. Magic users can learn from others after all.

[freezemyheart]

Does that mean your kingdom trades goods with those other kingdoms? Where is your kingdom? I'm sorry. I'm asking too many questions, aren't I?

Oh yes. I think she's better now, but she was so scared before. I suppose that happens when you're the only one with that kind of power, right?

[queenofclocks]

Well, not with all of them. Spades and Clubs are not exactly what you would call allies. But we do some trade with the other two.

I couldn't say. There's a lot of magic in Spades.

[kingofclocks]

As bad as... who?

[queenofclocks]

When it comes to taking on too much work? You.

[kingofclocks]

You're always nagging me to do my work at all! I have a job to do anyway.

[queenofclocks]

That's because you keep trying to do everything else.

[kingofclocks]

You can trust me to get things done. It's not like I'm lazy. [He is on weekends. Or when he has an excuse to be. But he does definitely earn his free time.]

[queenofclocks]

I can also trust you to run yourself into the ground.

If I let you, I wouldn't have any work to do because you'd tackle that too.

[kingofclocks]

I wouldn't run myself into the ground! I'm the King, I can do everything. [preens]

[queenofclocks]

Tell that to someone who hasn't seen you collapse exhausted into bed without even taking your glasses off.

[kingofclocks]

It's part of a king's job to work that hard!

[queenofclocks]

And it's mine to make sure you don't work yourself to an early grave.

[kingofclocks]

I won't work myself into an early grave, Arthur. [rolls his eyes] Long as I have you around.

[queenofclocks]

Good thing I'm planning on not going anywhere.

[kingofclocks]

Ivan and Francis would disagree with you. I still think we should keep you out of meetings. Y'know, for your own safety?

[queenofclocks]

Alfred, we've talked about this.

Besides, where else is safer than seated at your side?

[kingofclocks]

... Yeah, you do raise a good point, but if something happened to you I wouldn't forgive myself ever.
