Arrival:

[This really isn't what she expected. To be back here again. It seems like forever ago, the memories of Asgard and the war. The friends she had made here, however few, as she adjusted to the different powers, Charm instead of her power over Ice back home. Still, that doesn't stop her from giving a small smile as she sees the festivities, taking an offered drink as she stands back surveying the scene, the crowds. Content for now on the sidelines of things for the moment as she takes it in, trying to understand how and why they are back even as she finds herself keeping an eye out for certain familiar faces she's missed.]

Lanterns:

[It's a little figure of Anna that Elsa discovers with the lanterns, somehow honing in on her own before she takes notice of all the others, that those have names too. Hesitantly, she reaches for one with her free hand, hoping to then help it find the right person it supposedly belongs to.

Hopefully soon, because. Now she apparently cannot let go of said other lantern. Oops? Is it yours? Don't mind if she approaches your character to ask and be sure. This is only slightly awkward and actually could be worse, not that she herself necessarily quite realizes this yet.]

[Fwump.

That was the sound that someone made as they slapped up against a wall to get away from the crowds. Their eyes were closed and they were disoriented by everything. It was all so much, so very fast. She needed a minute just to get her head straight. Dressed in a paramilitary looking uniform of grays, tonfa at her sides, she looked like she'd just come from some sort of fight to this place, frazzled and tired.

When she glanced to the side, the horns were more visible, her flopping tail obvious. Her eyes caught sight of the queen out of their corner and she froze... metaphorically of course.]

E...Elsa?!?

[Even amid the crowds, certain people would of course stand out. Elsa being one of them, with her particular dress regardless of her having her ice powers or not here in Asgard. The same could also be said for Sam, with her horns, her tail. It's what draws Elsa's attention almost that same moment she hears the other's voice before she turns, eyes widening and clutching her hands to her chest.]

Samantha?

[Okay, maybe this isn't quite so alarming. She could hardly be the only one just now returned here, surely. Among all of these people.]

[She saw the gesture and slowed the pace of her approach a fraction, smiling with relief as she started to reach out and paused mid-stride. There was a smile, a fond one, that met her eyes and she looked very glad and a little shocked to see her.]

Yes, it's me. And... it's you. Are you alright? No problems getting back here, I hope. There's kind of a big crowd after all. [And she knew that she wasn't the most public of people.]

I'm....well, as fine as anyone can be expected to be, given the circumstances.

[But hey, it is a far cry from how terrified she had been initially upon arrival last time. It's easier, as the memories return and she is able to adjust to the loss of her ice powers this go around. Elsa shifts, adjusting her dress with the movement as she turns properly to face the other.]

But in a way, it's good to see everyone again.

[Even if Elsa herself wasn't as sociable as her sister.]

At least there's not a war going on this time. I'm... a little sorry that you didn't get to see it end, though I'm not sorry you weren't in danger here.

[It was a bit of an odd thing to say, but she still meant it. She'd wanted Elsa around for a lot of reasons, but at the same time she wouldn't have wished the war on most people. She stepped in a little closer and leaned forward, smiling.]

It is, and for some people, it's probably a relief to know it ended well. It was kind of a bad fight, after all. You... you're ok, right? Um, when did you come back here from? After the things Anna talked about?

[It had been a long time, but she remembered. She'd forced herself to, and the memories had flooded back when she'd arrived. She was, after all, a little worried about Elsa.]

No war. I wonder why and how we were brought back here this time, if that's true. It's....no. I think I understand what you mean. Part of me is glad Anna was back home safe from it, even if I wish I could have helped more.

[But still, she's here now. Can help from here onwards, in whatever they were brought here to assist in. Or even just enjoy the time they have here once more to reunite with friends from their previous adventures.]

But I'm fine. And I do remember. I had meant to visit the ice palace and check on Marshmallow and the Snowgies, actually.

[Obviously that will have to wait.]

They say the world missed us, and I guess some of us sub-consciously missed it, though I'm a little paranoid. [A shrug] All of us at once? Hard to believe it's just a coincidence.

And yeah, I figured you could understand, especially because of Anna. [She blinked after Elsa mentioned Snowgies, though. Her head cocked a little. They hadn't quite gotten to that conversation when she'd left Asgard, had they?] Snowgies?

I mean, it's good that you know, that everything worked out... but what's a snowgy?

Considering last time, I don't think being a little paranoid is unfounded. But, I suppose we'll see how this goes. I haven't seen Anna yet, so I assume she's safe back home again at least.

[No matter the previous mistakes and silence between them, Elsa still has her sister as a priority, of course. Seeing that Anna is healthy and happy, regardless of how much she herself might agree and need to compromise at times.]

Ah. The snowgies....well. I had a cold. And with my powers....I sort of made miniature snowmen when I was sneezing. But I tried to keep going and make everything perfect for Anna's birthday. That first one since we opened the gates back up.

Miniature... Snowmen... oh gods, but that sounds adorable, Elsa. There must be hundreds of them if it was while you had a cold. [She snickered as she said it.] I shouldn't laugh, but that's really kind of cute. I'm guessing they live up where it's cold and safe for them then.

And you really do need to not overwork yourself so much. [She smiled.] You realize Anna would probably have been happy with just your company, right?

There were....a lot of them. I had Olaf take them up to the ice palace, at the North Mountain so Marshmallow could keep an eye on them for now. Though they were kind of cute.

[Cute and mischievous. Yes.]

That's what she tried to tell me. But I just....wanted it to be perfect. To be special. It's the first birthday I've got to spend with her in years.

[And the first together since their parents died, really. So it's no wonder. That on top of Elsa's determination at times and her need to have everything just right.]

That sounds adorable, and insane all at once. I wish I could see them. [She laughed, sighing wistfully at the talk. There were a lot of things she wished for in that.] And I'm not at all surprised she said that to you. She absolutely would.

You do know, though, that no matter what you did? Just being able to be there with her, that would have made it the best. [If her talks with Anna had proven anything, it was that. It was all Anna ever seemed to want, to be close to Elsa again.]

Come on, you want to get something to eat?

It might not have gotten quite so out of hand if I hadn't been pushing myself, but well. It worked out, I suppose.

[In some ways, for all their royal status, both sisters have rather simple tastes and desires. Simply being together at all after years of separation is more than enough. It can't help make Elsa smile, before she gives a nod.]

It can't hurt to see what is on offer.

Hey, that's the spirit, and there's cute snow people to boot. [She grinned away, her smile fairly genuine. It was good to see Elsa, to see her a little more at ease, even if she didn't think the queen would ever be truly at ease around others. She led her way towards one of the stalls, looking to the meats that were present. As always, the carnivore, she had her needs.]

mmmm, plenty of food for everyone. They still don't skimp at parties do they?

Something like that. Though I'm still not exactly sure how or when I was able to create....life, like that.

[The only time she really meant to do so was with Marshmallow, as a guard for her ice palace. Olaf and the Snowgies were....a surprise. Still, Elsa seems happy enough, as content and relaxed as she could be, given the situation. She's definitely come a long way from her initial arrival at least.]

It doesn't look like they are skimping at all, no. They never have. But I suppose as long as there is enough food and everyone enjoys themselves, that's the main thing. What were you thinking of having?

[She considered for a moment.] It might be that you gave life a place to dwell. If they were fairy spirits inside of the snowmen, it would explain the mischief. But, I don't know. Magic takes so many forms, after all.

[She made her way over with a plate and started to put meat on it, enough that it was pretty obvious that her platter was going to be a meat-lover's thing.]

Hehe, you forgot I'm pretty much a carnivore, right? Too bad they don't have anything really spicy.

Fairy spirits? I'm not sure how it works exactly. Only Marshmallow was one I made intentionally.

[Olaf on the other hand, if anything, is like a remnant or memory of her younger personality of sorts, or a combination of herself and Anna as children, personality wise. So it leads to the consideration of her intentions in creating him, remembering Anna's initially frequent asking to build another snowman with her after the accident.

Still, it's something Elsa has half pondered but never exactly been able to figure. Though knowing of Marshmallow, her neighbouring countries are likely now at least cautious in recognizing her potential to raise an army from the ice if necessary to defend Arendelle. Without even the need to risk a single citizen for their military.

Elsa's own plate is filled with a mixture of foods, not so much just the meat options, as she follows Sam and chooses some from the offered stalls and vendors.]

It has been a while. But yes. You did like things rather particularly spicy.
