Today Barry's bad mood was practically gone today. In fact he was almost even cheerful. Cheerful enough that he was even being cordial to the etiquette section of books.

Of course in Barry's world being cordial meant telling the books to "suck it" instead of "fuck off."

Back to Arendelle where she'd be Queen and Barry would...well, that was probably the crux of the argument, wasn't it?

Would Elsa have to make a political marriage? Barry brought a lot with him, but not exactly alliances or wealth or power--at least not that most of Arendelle would understand.

"But now it's a discussion, not a fight?" she asked, tentative. "Have either of you talked to anyone else? I mean, like, the faculty or alumni or something? This can't be the first time that someone with a throne to go back to fell for someone who didn't have blood that exact shade of blue."

"It's a discussion," Barry agreed. "And no, I haven't fucking talked to anyone about this. At this point I don't want to push it either. We're just taking a 'let's see what happens' approach and just realizing that there are things that will happen that we can't control and we each have responsibilities. For her, the responsibility is an entire kingdom and I can't stay in the way of that. And I know that and I can't get shitty about it."

"It might be something for Elsa to consider, if nothing else," Kathy offered. "So she knows that there are people who've gone through this, too. They may have insights that she finds helpful."

But that was all Kathy was going to say. It wasn't a subject she could offer much insight for, after all.

"How goes the science? Make any paradigm-shifting breakthroughs?"
