Comments

[liberee]

You had to hide it too?

[She hadn't visited Camelot herself. Only heard of it. Obviously once she had her coronation and everyone knew about her, it was likely she might have been advised against going there even if she might have wanted to, given Uther's stance on magic. Given that passed down to Arthur because of that history. Elsa can't help but to be sympathetic there, as she glances to him from the book they were holding.]

I tried to conceal it. Was so afraid for years that I'd hurt Anna again, or someone else.

[merlinastrice]

[His face takes a more serious look as Merlin's lips press together into a thin line]

Things were different then. Something happened to Uther to make him fear magic. That's why he set down the law that it would be punishable by death. That includes anyone associated with it.

[He looks at Elsa, hearing her speak about her own fear of hurting her sister]

It's just...difficult to hide it when it's part of who you are, isn't it?

[liberee]

I....can understand that. I was scared I'd hurt Anna or someone else because of my powers after that first time. I've figured better control now. More comfortable with it, more confident. But that doesn't change the years I was terrified, so in a way I can understand. Even if his reaction might seem.....extreme.

[And would have meant she would have been killed, if she had lived in Camelot. If she had grown up there instead. Elsa's hand not holding to the book shifts in clutching to her chest, as she glances down to the book, the illustrations and unfamiliar writing, before the blue meets his own eyes amid her blonde hair that falls at her shoulder and a little in her face at the movement.]


It is. The trolls, they made Anna forget. She forgot about my powers for years.

[merlinastrice]

[His face softens as he takes in what Elsa is saying. She had a fear of her own. He shuts the book and reaches to brush some of the blonde hair that fell in her face before drawing his hand back with a small blush]

That also seems a bit extreme - making your own sister forget that you had powers?

[He supposes it was most likely for her safety rather than anything else.]

Did you not have mentors here? To teach you how to use your powers?

[liberee]

The trolls were worried about her, since my ice hit her in the head. So they made her forget. That's part of the reason why I had to shut myself in my room. So she didn't find out.

[Anna had. Of course, eventually. She manages a small smile in thanks with him helping with her hair, before she gives a shake of her head. She hadn't had a mentor in terms of dealing with her magic. It was unique. Nobody else could really help her with it.]

No. I had tutors for almost everything else. But my power...nobody else can do what I do. The trolls knew about it, but they were more focused on helping Anna. I eventually figured to control it on my own. Most of the time, anyway.

[merlinastrice]

[Perhaps she has potential like he did. Merlin considers it for a moment. He would know when Arthur returns to Albion in her hour of need. In the meantime, he could...he could perhaps...an idea struck him]

What about now? What if I wanted to stay and teach some of this so that you could learn some more?

[liberee]

Now? You.....? You could teach me?

[She has no idea how long he might stay for or anything of the sort. Surely wasn't suddenly expecting company, a fellow mage. Let alone said mage to offer to teach her like this. Elsa can't help but to blink, not immediately against the idea at all, but just. Surprised.]

I mean.....I see no reason to decline the offer, but are you sure? Surely you have others. Friends, family, to be staying in the forest with me for however long.

[merlinastrice]

[He shakes his head]

No, I don't really have any friends or family. I...there was a reason why I was called here. Maybe it's to teach you this. All of this. So that you'd have something to add to the magic you already have. Un...less you don't want to have anyone around.

[His mind reels a little]

I'm...so sorry I--that was presumptuous of me.

[liberee]

You -- oh, I see. Well...no, it's....if you're sure then. I don't see any reason to say no to the idea. If you really have nowhere else to be.

[And well. He seemed nice. It was nice. Amazing. To finally have someone who really understood. Anna knew now and all, of course but her sister didn't have magic. Couldn't teach her any of it like he could, for all that Anna loved watching Elsa 'do the magic' for her.]

If you are really up for it. I'd like to try.

[merlinastrice]

I really am. I'd like to share this with you. I've never had anyone to really share knowledge like this before.

[He looks around and smiles softly at their surroundings]

Nor have I ever been anywhere this beautiful before.

[liberee]

I had Anna? She loved watching me make it snow, making snowmen together and going sledding and all. But that's not....quite the same. No.

[As having someone to actually teach her rather than just admiring what she can do with her abilities. Elsa can at least relate to that. Nobody else could do what she did to be able to really talk to anyone about it, to think of lessons in learning or teaching what she could do, what she knew. Her gaze follows his in glancing around.]

It is. It's not the castle, or the ice palace I made back up the mountains but. It's home now.

[merlinastrice]

[His attention turns back to her when she mentions ice palace, his eyebrow raised in surprise. Her powers might even exceed his own.]

...could you show me? All of it. Snow, the ice castle. I've never really done much of a whimsical use of my powers...except...well...

[He cups his hands together, whispers a few words, his eyes glowing again. When he opens his hands, there's a single rose in the palm of his hand. Merlin smiles a little, a whimsical spell from a long time ago. He holds it up for her.]

[liberee]

[Elsa blinks, a small smile at her lips as he offers her the rose he just created.]

That's beautiful. The snow I could easily show you now. The ice palace, we'd need to go up the mountains behind Arendelle.

[But, well. The snow was easy enough. Elsa stamps her feet, telling him to brace himself, creating ice amid the dirt of the forest floor. The air chills around them as she creates a snowfall, snowflakes falling as she twirls her hand to create a snowman, a nostalgic smile at her lips as she does.]

I'd do this for Anna all the time when we were younger.

[merlinastrice]

[He braces himself and watches in fascination as the ice appears beneath her feet and spreads out around them. He doesn't feel the chill, just smiles brightly, looking around as the soft snow falls around them. He watches as she creates a snowman, all with such ease.]

I'd love to see you do more of this. Snow and winters were harsh in Camelot. Not too terrible but they could become a little bit more bitter than you'd want.

[His eyes glow golden. In his hands, he creates a flame, making it dance and swirl around, not melting the snow, but moving with it and through it]

Could you point where the palace is? I could take us there.

[liberee]

I guess it never bothered me as much. I'm used to the cold.

[She says with a shrug. It wouldn't matter to her beyond ensuring the others were alright if it was a particularly harsh winter. Which they feel moreso out here in comparison to the warmth of the castle and fires of Arendelle's castle and rooms. She watches the flame he creates, which attracts the attention of Bruni, the little fire spirit who climbs up to her shoulder to watch it.]

You could take us? How?

[merlinastrice]

[He smiles when the little...lizard?...shows up and watches in fascination. He makes the fire dance mid air before floating over to the creature and dancing near it.]

Well...there's a transportation spell I could use. I haven't used it too much since it's just easier to walk anywhere I need to be.

[liberee]

A...really? Your magic really is so much more powerful and versatile than mine.

[She thinks then, before figuring the direction of the sun to remind her of the course. She points in the direction of Arendelle, her other hand holding Bruni in place at her shoulder for now, as the fire spirit watches the flames, creating some of his own.]

That way. The mountain above Arendelle.
