Bloody Roses, how close we're sailing is up to you guys though probably not enough to just casually swing over without some ability. However, feel free to come encounter us at any time on the island!
Straw Hats, enjoy the veggie rain! Also remember our NPC pirates are Mama's Bone Boys who will attack us intermittently throughout the journey and send spies on board. Let's save the major boss battles til the finale, though, shall we? But otherwise, have fun!

After Anna has fun with everyone else
Part of her would be perfectly fine with keeping things that way. But it wouldn't be different from hiding behind a closed door and... It wasn't what she wanted. She is a pirate now, not a queen, she doesn't have any "duty" to uphold, she can do whatever she wants and be whoever she wants. And she wants to be free and to be with Anna. From what she heard on the journals it didn't seem that Anna hated her that much as Elsa had thought, but then again, maybe Anna was just reserving that for Elsa herself. She certainly deserved it.
Eventually, Anna ends alone and Elsa realizes that she really needs to step up her game and do... Something. She can't just avoid Anna the whole time, can she? No, she doesn't want to do that. But she has no idea of what to say or how to approach the other. Words, what are they? All the preparation and studies to be a queen and deal with politics served for nothing because there wasn't such a thing as a guide of "How to talk with the sister that has all the reasons in the world to hate you after you ruined her life for years". It is like Coronation Day all over again, except that she's sure that just "Hi" won't cut it this time as an icebreaker. Who is she trying to fool anyway, she can't do this, she creates ice, she doesn't break it! If she could do that none of the last thirteen years would have happened. She can't really go and act as if nothing had happened, as if the last time they talked wasn't a big argument, right? It would be wonderful if she could but... That's not right.
Actually, what if despite being okay with being on the same ship as Elsa, Anna doesn't really want to have anything to do with Elsa directly?
As Elsa hides behind a corner and tries to think of something to approach Anna and instead starts to fall into anxiety because maybe she shouldn't have said it was okay, maybe she should have gone with the idea of seeing is Ace would take Anna, maybe she should just run away... Small snowflakes start to fall around her, slowly expanding until they start to fall over Anna.]
no subject
What she really loves about it, actually, is leaning up against the railing, holding onto it tight with her eyes closed and letting the breeze off the sea wash over her. The wind is pretty strong at the speed they're going, and she has to keep tossing her braids back out of her face, but she's still enjoying it, as is evident by her smile.
While she's doing this, relaxing, thinking of all the things she's been told by all the different people she's met here so far, she suddenly feels a touch of something cold, wet, on her cheek. It surprises her enough that she instantly opens her eyes, hand coming up to touch the skin of her cheek lightly. And there it is again... And another...]
...Snow?
[Her eyes widen, light up, and suddenly she's glancing around her quickly. Because snow has definitely become an association with Elsa at this point, there's excitement bubbling up inside of her, mixed with a not altogether small amount of worry and anxiety as well. She still doesn't know when Elsa was taken from. And even the difference of a day or two between them could mean a whole lot. While things hadn't been perfect when she'd left, they'd certainly come a long way in the span of a short time, and their relationship had been on the mend, there'd been more hope than ever before. And if Elsa had been brought here before all that had happened...
It was going to be hard. It was likely going to be painful. But she wouldn't give up. She'd never give up. Because having lived through the experience she had, she knew more than ever now that there was hope. And even if they weren't given the same extreme circumstances it had taken to bring them together again, Anna would find a way. Even if it meant having to sacrifice herself again to prove to Elsa that she loved her. Because she knows that, while it would probably be quite painful and definitely an inconvenience, she would still be brought back while she's here, so it would be worth it in the end.
But that definitely is going under the heading "last resort." Besides, Anna isn't even sure Elsa was brought here from another time. She could be worrying for nothing!]
Elsa? Is that you?
no subject
[She only notices the snow when Anna's voice suddenly calls for her and Elsa looks around to see it. That... Isn't really promising.]
Oh, no, no, no, no! Please no!
[She tries to disperse it or make it stop even if she knows that's hardly possible, even as she hides her hands below her elbows by crossing her arms and pressing them against her torso. Not only does the snow not stop but a small layer of ice starts to creep under her, and all that just from trying to think how to talk to Anna.
There's no way she can do this. It was a mistake, she can't protect Anna, she can't protect anyone, who was she fooling? Thinking that she was getting better because she was actually using her powers, because she could make snowmen that protected the ship and helped Zoro fight an opponent... She pauses at that memory, the fight against those pant-less pirates to protect the flying whales and avenge the giants. How she had fought by herself thanks to her snow golem. How she had helped Luffy continue his way when he fell down from the sky all of a sudden. How she had protected Zoro when the opponent got up and managed to throw a broken blade at his back. That's right, she has done it before, she has protected someone and even if it isn't much it is still more than what she had done back home. But that's natural, back home she had done nothing but hide and try to not use her powers, here she was free, she was Elsa of the Straw Hats.
So what if Anna hates her? She is in her right and while it will hurt it will just prove Elsa's point. There's no place for her in Arendelle anymore. There never was, it was all just a nice and foolish dream from which she had to eventually wake up from. Her place was with Luffy, with the Straw Hats, in this world or any other. Her home was there, where she could be free and be herself while not being alone. Of course, it would always be better if Anna could be there but... It was okay even if she wasn't, as long as Anna was safe and happy back in Arendelle, enjoying the life that Elsa had denied her all those years... It was just fair, the way things should have always been.
Elsa takes a deep breath, steeling herself and her resolve, and the snow stops falling and the ice stops creeping over the wood. She barely notices it, though, as she moves from her hiding place, just a couple of meters from Anna, to confront her sister, ready for it. And then she's right there, face to face with Anna even if with a few meters of distance between them... And words fail Elsa again. Her resolve shakes and her expression melts into one of longing and sadness. She knew that Anna was there, she had been watching her but... Somehow looking at her directly made it even more clear and obvious.
Anna is here. Her beloved Anna, the sister she loved more than anything in the world, the sister for whom she would sacrifice anything if she thought it would give Anna happiness and safety. The sister she thought she would never see again. The sister that probably hated her with all her being.]
... Hi...
[She feels the most eloquent person in the world. Years of preparations and studies for just a "hi", just like in the ball, but that went horrible so she can't just leave it at that. So she tries again before Anna has a chance to say anything.]
I'msorry. ["I'm sorry"? Yes, that works.] I am really sorry, I... I didn't mean for things to be like this. You're not hurt, are you? I mean, physically, from arriving here, you are fine, right?
[Definitively not the best but at least she seems able to even make full sentences.]
1/2
[There's an instant smile on Anna's face the moment she finally sees her sister. And, really, if that's not enough to show Elsa that she doesn't hate her, well then maybe the fact she quickly runs over to her in order to hug her is.]
I'm fine! I was just worried about you! I hadn't seen you yet, but everyone here talked about you and said you were here, you know, somewhere, so I kept hoping... Well, that doesn't matter, you're here now! And I'm here! And--
2/2
no subject
Ah, no! ... Please, it's not safe to do that, Anna. I could-...
[Why was she apologizing? Why wouldn't she apologize? For all those years of pain she had given Anna, she had good intentions but they were meaningless in the end. They lost meaning the moment she still lost control of her powers and ran way. For running away too, for lumping on Anna's shoulders the reign of Arendelle in such a way. For being locked behind a door for so many years, denying the other her sister. For failing to protect her that day years ago which lead Anna to almost die.]
Why should I not apologize? Wait, do you not remember-...
[No, Anna remembered her powers, she knows about them already. How else could she have reached the conclusion that the snow meant that Elsa was around?
Elsa bites her lower lip as she looks at Anna, but all she can see at the moment is the five years old girl with pigtails that cheerfully asked for magic. That precious sister that she hurt in the worst way because she couldn't control her powers. Maybe Anna actually meant to ask which of the things Elsa had done to her she was apologizing for, she couldn't blame her if so. She takes another step back, arms embracing herself as she casts her eyes downwards.]
I'm apologizing for everything, Anna. [Pause.] Well, maybe not everything, I still won't give you my blessings for marrying prince Hans, but... For everything else. I don't really expect you to forgive me, you have the right not to, but I just wanted to protect you. I didn't want to hurt you or our parents or anyone with my powers, but doing that only served to hurt you all in other ways, didn't it?
no subject
Except... Now she's not really sure it will help. And she wants to do what's best for Elsa, she really does. But she doesn't know what that is. On one hand, it would probably be good for her to know that there's a way to make her magic ice go away if she needs to. But on the other hand, it would also involve telling her that she'd pretty much killed her own sister. Briefly though! She'd been brought back! But... Still...
Well, at least there's one thing she thinks she can clear up for her safely.] Don't worry about blessing any marriages, Elsa. Especially not where Hans is concerned. He... He's a jerk, and you were right, I didn't... I didn't really know anything about love like I thought I did... [Because after being betrayed by Hans, she's still struggling to figure out what that word means, it's entire meaning. She knows she loves Elsa, that one's a given. And Olaf had told her it meant putting someone else's needs before yours. But love felt... more complicated than that. Sure, that was one example of love, but...
But this probably wasn't really a good time to be contemplating all of that. And Sanji had told her that love is complicated, that she's not the only one still struggling to figure it out. And remembering what he said makes her feel a little better. She finds herself smiling again, looking back up at Elsa where for a moment, during her thinking, she'd been staring at her hands.]
You were doing what you thought was best for me though, I understand that, Elsa. And I can't say I don't wish things had gone differently, that you'd just, you know, told me about your powers, sooner... I wish you had trusted me enough to do that. [She gives a small shrug, her smile turning a little sadder.] All I want to do is help you. Because you're my sister, no matter what, and I love you.
no subject
Still, Elsa had hoped to be wrong. Part of her had wished for it, because it would mean that Anna would be fine and happy, that she would have someone by her side. She wouldn't give them her blessings but... She wouldn't stand in their way either. She had hoped that Hans would be good for Anna and that he would take care of her, even if it was just a small part that hoped so even while the rest of her worried about it. But she had run away and... She had lost any and all rights to voice those worries the moment she did that. But she really had wished for the best for Anna, so when she hears that Hans is a jerk her expression drops in obvious pain and sadness.]
What? He... D-Did he break off the engagement because of what I did? Did he think that you were abnormal too? Oh, Anna, I'm so sorry...
[It makes sense, though, why wouldn't he think that? Why wouldn't people turn and point fingers at poor Anna as well? It hadn't occurred to her, she had been sure that Anna would have won everyone with her candor and smile, no matter how hard it was. But it hadn't been that way, had it? Even if everyone else didn't do it... The man Anna had trusted her heart with had broke it, had rejected her because of what Elsa was. She really shouldn't be surprised, what made her think that whatever she did for Anna would actually work and not cause her sister even more pain? All she can do is hurt Anna, even without her powers.
What Anna says next hurts her even more. And angers her, not against Anna but... Just against everything. She hadn't wanted Anna to not remember, she hadn't liked the idea, but their parents and the trolls said that it was for the best. And then she was showed that vision and Elsa understood that Anna should never learn of her powers, that no one should. Just like her parents said. But now... Now Anna knew, she had discovered it and... She thought that Elsa didn't trust her. What more damage could she cause now?]
Anna... You knew about my powers. Remember? We used to share a room, there's no way I could have kept that from you, I... I didn't want to keep it from you and your eyes always shone when I used magic, remember all the times we played in the snow? We never played outside, we played in the ballroom, with the snow I made, at any time of the year. But I was careless and I ended hurting you, the trolls and our parents said that it was better if you didn't remember so they changed your memories so you didn't remember the magic part... And all that was left was that white strand of hai-
[She looks up, eyes looking for the proof of her sin, of her failure, that white strand of hair in Anna's head, but she can't find it. No matter how much she stares, or how she tilts her head, it's not there and that's impossible because she knows that even cutting it from the root didn't help, it just grew back as white as ever.]
Your hair? W-What happened to your hair?!
1/2
No, it wasn't your fault! Hans was a jerk from the beginning! He was planning to kill us, Elsa! Both of us! Just so he could have Arendelle for himself!
no subject
Oh. Yeah. Speaking of her hair. She brings a hand up to her right braid, pulling it forward to look at it, though she didn't really need to in order to know that the streak was no longer there. And in order to tell Elsa why... Well, that pretty much made the decision for her. She was going to have to tell her everything, even the parts that might not be helpful.]
Uhm. Right. About... About that... We're not from the same time, Elsa. If the last thing you remember is the coronation ball, well... Well I got brought here after that. A while... after that. So things have happened and that streak? It, uhm. It went away. After I thawed out... Because, well, you know how you just said you hurt me on accident when we were little? Well that... That kind of happened again. On accident. Because I was pushing you, you know, again, like when I grabbed your glove, and so I guess you got scared and just, well, ice. And uh. It hit me in my heart? But everything turned out all right! The trolls told us how to fix it again. So... We did... Fix it. Or, uhm, I did.
terribly sorry for falling off the surface of Earth like that, crazy days at work and home
It had been one of the reasons she was wary of the sudden engagement, toned down only because of Hans situation in his kingdom. As far as she remembers, he wasn't the heir, he was nowhere near to said position unless a huge and suspicious catastrophe happened. All he would have had would have been Arendelle and even if linked to his birthplace, it wouldn't have been a huge influence. She hadn't considered that he would want to kill her, but she can understand that it would be a desirable outcome for him. But Anna as well?]
He wanted to do what to you?!!!
[Elsa was the heir, the Queen. Threats to her life were something she was prepared for, even without the whole thing about her powers. They were something she could understand as long as there was a political gain from it, the threats due her powers were another thing and those were the ones she feared the most, because they came from fear itself and that was something that couldn't be controlled or calmed down. So it made sense that Hans would want her head even without the thing with her powers.
But Anna's too? No, she would never allow that and just the knowledge of those plans is enough to set her into a fury. The temperature around them drops suddenly, taking a huge dive and ice forms under their feet, raising and spiraling, threatening spikes appearing and pointing outwards. They don't point at Anna but at around her, as if protecting her, and the anger reflected in Elsa's eyes is one Anna has never seen. One that whispers promises of pain and death to whoever threatens Anna.
God forbid that that Hans ever appears here, or Elsa will personally encase him in a block of ice and then throw it to a the stomach of a kraken. of course, if they were at Arendelle and she was Queen she would deal with it differently, there are much better ways. Bigger punishments. But this place isn't Arendelle, neither is she a Queen. She's a pirate, and she's sure that not many would blame her for at least wanting to throw Hans to the stomach of a kraken.
Her anger is short-lived though, for as soon as Anna keeps talking, Elsa's already pale skin becomes even paler yet at her words. It turns as white as her hair and her eyes grow as big as they can. Out of everything that Anna said only one thing remained in her head: she had hit Anna with her powers again, and this time she had hit her heart.]
What?
[Her voice breaks like glass and snow starts to fall all around them. She did it. Oh, God, she had done it. All the years of hiding. All her efforts. Not only were her powers revealed but, she had killed Anna and it doesn't come to her that Anna said that it was fixed, or that she's fine now, because it doesn't count. That doesn't count in this world.
She takes a step away from her sister but... There's nowhere to go, is there? What good would that serve for? She already did it. Even running away from Arendelle hadn't stopped it.]
I... I killed you...
I figured that might be the case. I'm glad you're okay!
And for a moment she feels anger welling up inside her, at this place, at Davy Jones, for taking them from separate times that makes everything more difficult. Oh yes, she is definitely joining Luffy on his hunt to take down that pirate ghost because he deserves it. How dare he do this to them, to the relationship they'd only recently mended. It's not only unfair to Anna, it's unfair to Elsa more than anything. She deserves to know she's loved unconditionally, and Anna's not sure how she can prove that, how she can make things better. But she really, really wants to make things better.
The anger ebbs, and she's left watching Elsa with worry again. As her sister takes a step back, Anna takes a step forward, instinctively reaching out for her. She just wants to help. But what can she even say? She hesitates, letting her arm fall back to her side.]
I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell you if I could help it, I knew it would hurt you, but... It's what happened. But like I said, it's okay! Everything turned out alright in the end! An act of true love thawed me, my own act of true love. I saved myself by saving you.
Please, just... Don't run away from me again. Before I left Arendelle, before I was brought here, things were going so well between us! I want things to be like that again. I'd do anything to have that again. Please, Elsa...
[She's begging. It's clear in her voice, almost on the verge of tears. And there is fear in her eyes now. Not for fear of Elsa's powers, even after the pointed ice and the sudden snow. It's for fear that she won't be able to fix things this time, a fear that's been with her since she'd learned of the prospect that Elsa might have been brought here from a different time. And now it's stronger than ever, because Elsa's right in front of her, still pulling away. She's so close, but still so far away, exactly as she'd been for all those years behind her closed door.]
no subject
[Elsa stares at Anna in disbelief at her words. It was okay, everything turned out alright in the end and so it was okay. It was such... It was exactly what their father would have said. And completely wrong.
It wasn't okay, how could it be? It didn't matter if everything was fixed in the end, nothing should have had to be fixed! All those years of hiding herself, of keeping herself away from Anna, of ignoring Anna when all she wanted to do was be with her. All for nothing. Her powers were revealed and she had done the thing she feared the most. Even though she had ran away from Arendelle, even though Anna should have had no reason to want to be near her... Elsa had killed her.]
It's not okay at all!! How could you say that? Why do you think I have been locking myself in my room for thirteen years?!! It was to not hurt you!!
All those years... All those years fearing myself, ignoring all of your calls no matter how much I wanted to answer them... And I still hurt you... What was the point then?!! Why did you have to forget about me?!! How can you say that it's okay when all those years have been useless? When I failed to do the one thing I wanted to do the most?!!
[It's hard to say if it's anger or pain what cracks her voice, and it's even harder to say if she's really asking those questions to Anna or to herself. Or to the ghosts of their parents.]
They said you would be fine! That it was better if you forgot and we were apart...
[She shakes her head, arms wrapping around herself for support.]
It would have been better if you forgot completely about me and I was sent away after all. Maybe then I would have never hurt you.
[Her eyes land on Anna again reflecting pain and guilt for everything she did to the sister she loved so much.]
I'm sorry, Anna. I... I shouldn't have allowed any of that to happen.
no subject
No. No! It's in the past Elsa, you can't change what's in the past! And thinking and worrying about it all the time is not going to help anything! It makes things worse, don't you see that? You can never go back and fix things, no matter how much you wish you could, you just have to try your best in the present and hope that things will be better in the future!
[She knows this. She knows this because she spent a lot of time wondering, regretting, contemplating, searching, trying to figure out why Elsa had stopped being her friend so suddenly, had started ignoring her without any warning at all. And it had been torture, worrying all the time. She'd had to stop, because otherwise the pain was too much to bear. She'd just had to hope that someday, some way, things could change, if she just kept trying. When things can't go any more down hill, all there's left to go is up.]
The worst possible thing you could think of happened, Elsa. Yes, it did. But it didn't last! Things were fixed! And if we can make things better after the absolute worst has happened, then why do you need to fear it anymore? There's no need to! I'll always be here for you, no matter what may happen, and I'll always love you. Can't you see that you can stop being so afraid now?
no subject
Elsa pauses and the snow starts to decrease until it stops entirely.
Of course, the past can't be changed, she knows that. How many times did she wish to go back to that night? To say no to Anna that night or to be able to protect her, to not have hurt her? How many times did she wish to go back to that day and stop their parents from leaving? Maybe if she had complained, if she had been more firm, if she had even thrown a tantrum, if she had shown them that she wouldn't be okay, that Anna wouldn't be okay... But it was impossible. There wasn't a secret magic number of times one had to wish for something for it to become a reality, there were no starts that would grant a wish like that.
The past can't be changed. But the future... The future can, and for Elsa, the things Anna talks about aren't in the past but in the future. She can change them, she can find a way for none of that to happen. It's very easy, all she has to do is give up on everything else. She won't use the wish of the gem to go with Luffy, she will use it to ensure Anna's safety, that she couldn't be murdered or killed in a forced accident... And she would remain in this world, universes away from Anna. If the North Mountain isn't far enough to protect Anna, maybe another world will be enough. And in the meantime...
In the meantime she's here, with Luffy and the others, with Anna. Anna who comes from a future were Elsa failed everyone. Yes, yes, things may have been fixed, but it's Anna, how much does she really know? What about the other countries? Did Elsa's display of powers affect Arendelle's relationships with other countries? Were her spikes forgiven or were other kingdoms slowly preparing for a war? To demand compensation? No, even if things with Anna were fixed there is still a huge amount of things that could go wrong, that will go wrong, Elsa's sure of it. But it will be okay, she can still do something.]
You're right. The past is in the past, all I have to do is focus on the future, right?
[She gave up her sister, her confidence, her powers, her self-esteem and her kingdom and it still wasn't enough. Maybe if she gives up her world and her happiness it will finally be enough to warrant Anna's own future and happiness without ever being hurt.
It's not what Anna wants. It's not what Elsa wants either. But if she had learned something from their parents was that sacrifices had to be made, and maybe those she had done failed, but it's also true that she didn't sacrifice everything that she could. Until then, she has this world, she has the Straw Hats and Anna. Even if it's for one last time since she will give up on her sister and her friends forever... Isn't it okay if she's not afraid anymore until the end comes?
Her hands move, raising and reaching for Anna as Elsa takes a step forward, almost close to touching her sister's face, but they hesitate. Even here, even after all those weeks, she still isn't confident with physical contact. She tries again but slowly, giving the other a chance to move away if it's too cold or something.]
Anna...
no subject
Right. Only the future matters. I'm willing to take whatever risks there are, Elsa, I don't care, so long as I get to have you as my sister again, and as my friend. That's all that really matters to me. That's all that ever mattered.
[She takes Elsa's hands away from her face then in order to simply hold them in her own, giving them a light squeeze in an attempt to comfort.]
So let's do what we were brought here to do together, alright? We'll take on the seas together, and nothing will be able to stand in our way.
[She sounds very sure of this, and she is. She knows how powerful Elsa is, and she feels safer knowing that she'll be by her side. Was there a chance that Elsa might unintentionally hurt her again? Sure, as Anna knows she hasn't learned what it is that will help her control it yet. But she spoke the truth when she said she was willing to take any risk.]
no subject
Elsa doesn't deserve to have a sister like Anna, and her sister deserves much better than what Elsa can give her. Still, while they are in this world, she's going to live that dream in which they are good for each other and in which they are together. It's okay if she at least has this, right?]
I'll never stop being your sister, Anna. Even if I'm not with you, my thoughts are with you... Just like our parents are with us.
[She takes a deep sigh and moves her hands to release them from Anna's hold in order to wrap her arms around her sister and give her a hug that has been long since overdo.]
You're right, nothing will stand in our way... You're going to have to learn how to fight, though. Thing's are hardly safe here and we have already had troubles with some people in this world.
[And that's not counting the Navy. It occurs to her that she probably should let go to talk about that instead of keep hugging Anna but... She finds it hard to let go right now. She has been starving for this and if the time they are together here is the only time in which she can have it, she wants to make it last.]
no subject
She happily returns the hug that's given to her, and doesn't bother letting go either if Elsa doesn't feel like it yet. Besides, this way Elsa can't see the slightly guilty look that crosses her face when Elsa points out how this world isn't safe.]
I know. But there are plenty of people on our crew who can help teach me, right? And protect me too, if I need it. [She'd rather not have to need anyone's protection, though. She doesn't want anyone to have to worry about her, either, least of all Elsa.]
no subject
Yes, there are. Luffy promised to protect you too and he's a man that fulfills his promises. You'll be fine, don't worry.
[That's Elsa's job as the older sister.]
Maybe you could learn to fight with a sword? Brook or Zoro could easily help with that.
no subject
She pulls away just a fraction so she can look at Elsa, still holding on to her. Suddenly there's excitement in her eyes. Sword-fighting was something she thought would be amazing. She'd love to do that.]
Really? You think someone would be willing to teach me to do that? That would be really, really great. I've met Zoro, but I don't think I've met a Brook yet.
no subject
I'm sure you'll meet him soon enough, he's hard to miss. A nine feet tall skeleton with huge curly hair, he's also a musician and has a particular sense of humor.
[And is a pervert, but Elsa isn't aware of that since he hasn't displayed that with her, probably because her dress already leaves little to imagination.]
And I'm sure they will be willing to teach you, it's both for your and the crew's best interest after all. And if you're willing to learn there's no reason not to.

Woah. A skeleton? Really? I mean, I knew we had a pony on board, but wow.
[More and more about this place is making her feel like she stepped into an adventure story. Not that her life back in Arendelle hadn't suddenly turned into an adventure story too, because it really, really had. At least she feels like that helped prepare her a little for coming here, though.]
Oh, I'm willing to learn! Not just sword-fighting, I mean, anything they want to teach me, I'm willing to learn!
[And she has the sudden thought that, if Hans ever arrived here, which was a possibility since both she and Elsa were here, after all... Well. Then she could at least give him a nasty shock by being able to knock his sword out of his hands. Maybe that would be enough to convince him to stay away from her and Elsa, at least. If, you know, Elsa's powers and Anna's right hook weren't already enough deterrent.]

[It feels strange, to talk with Anna like this, so... Freely. But talking about the crew helps Elsa to not be as awkward as she would be otherwise and it's painfully obvious by her tone an expression how important those people are to her and how at home she feels in the ship.]
I'm sure you'll be able to learn lots here and have tons of adventures. This ship, this crew... They are simply amazing. Ever since I joined them I've known that you would fit perfectly with them, more than I could.
[Though she had had less problems fitting in than she would have ever expected.]

[Talking to Elsa like this feels less strange to Anna and more like a dream come true. She's really glad they're here together instead of apart, and that Elsa had let her stay on the same crew. Though it seems to be fairly easy for her to make friends with most people, it just wouldn't be the same if she was on any other ship besides this one.]
I'm glad you think I'll fit in, but I wouldn't say I'd fit in more than you. I mean, you'll always be the one they were friends with first. And immediately when they saw me in the journal they knew I was your sister. They really like you.
