Library, Saturday

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

Elsa was feeling pretty excellent as she made her way to the library (for what felt like the first time in months, though it couldn't possibly have been so long!) for her shift today. She was very much enjoying her new jewelry and the peace of mind that it gave her, while opening up entire worlds of possibilities for her powers. She fondly remembered playing with Anna when they were children, now, and couldn't help but consider all of the possibilities that were open to them once again.

Maybe she'd ask her sister if she wanted to build a snowman, later. Spring seemed to be taking its time around here this year, so a little bit more snow couldn't hurt, right?

The library was open, and Elsa was looking through books about winter games, planning to make up for a lot of lost time.

[Open!]

"It's..." Elsa frowned a little, letting the snowball dissipate into thin air again as she pulled her hand away. "It's nothing. It's just a trinket."

She frowned a little.

"I... had hoped that maybe you'd be a little happier for me."

"No! I'm totally happy for you!" Barry said quickly though maybe a tad too quickly. "I just think that it's a pretty quick turnaround for you. Your ability to freeze things is powerful. I just want to make sure you are okay with this. You've spent years being afraid of using it. I'm not sure what was the turning point for you."

Elsa was so giving Barry the side-eye scrunchyface, now. Yep. She wasn't trusting how quickly Barry spat that out at all.

"I've been here for over a year, almost a year and a half," she pointed out, "surrounded by people. And I haven't hurt anybody in my time here. Maybe I thought it was just time to stop being afraid."

Barry let out a long sigh. "Okay. Okay. I'm sorry," he said apologetically. "I'm glad to see you're overcoming your fears after so much time. I'm just surprised to see it happen so fast. You can understand that right?"

"Well, I did spend most of break week without gloves on at all," Elsa replied, because... she was feeling argumentative, for some reason, and grabbing at anything that had nothing at all to do with the bracelet that she was wearing seemed like the proper approach. "And Celia's been teaching me control."

Which also had nothing to do with her confidence right now, for the record.

"You did," Barry replied with a nod. "And I didn't know about Celia, but that's good too. I'm glad. Though I will say that maybe you want to wait on the snowball fight when it's closer to summer and people aren't so sick of winter."

Yes. That would be Barry trying to force some humor into the sitaution.

Elsa was silent for another moment, pausing to process that statement as humor before deciding that the proper reaction was more humor in turn.

"You mean to say that people didn't enjoy that blizzard a few weeks back? I thought it was lovely, personally."

Until the whole pollen thing. Details.
