Who| Elsa and Anna
What| Elsa finds Anna
Where| Anna's room
When| After Anna dies and comes back
Warnings/Notes| SISTER FEELINGS
[Oh, the conflicting feelings. Of course Elsa is used to conflicting feelings, but this goes above and beyond what she's used to. She had been both terribly upset and relieved when Anna hadn't come back. She thought perhaps maybe it just meant she'd been sent home. They no longer wanted her. She could make herself believe Anna was safe, and no longer had to deal with the horror of the Capitol and it's arenas.
So when she finds out Anna is back, it's overwhelming how upset she is and happy she is to see her. She's missed her, more than anything. And now, she has the power to control her ice. She can't hurt Anna anymore. The desire to avoid Anna is gone, replaced by nothing but an intense desire to see her. If she could have volunteered to go back into the arena in place of her at that moment, she could have.
Instead, she can only watch Anna suffer. It's painful, and she normally doesn't like watching the Games. But she does for Anna, just to be with her in spirit. When it finally happens, Elsa cries. It hurts so much to see Elsa suffer, and she can't stop the thoughts coming that she should have done something. Eventually, though. Eventually she reminds herself that it's not her fault, and that she couldn't have done anything. Shepard's helped her get a hold of her emotions- she lets herself feel them, then she takes control. It takes a lot of work for this one, but she does manage to reign it in.
Elsa even pushes them away almost entirely, and with effort she looks on the bright side. She's been through a lot here, she can help Anna. Instead of running away, instead of being afraid, Elsa can finally be Anna's rock. They don't have to avoid each other in the arena, there is no fear of accidentally killing Anna. She can help keep Anna from spiraling into a depression the same was Elsa herself had in the beginning. The realization that she actually has the power to do something in this situation- that she can finally be the big sister she was meant to be- is enough to pick her up, to motivate her to approach Anna, even if there's a part of her that's afraid of what she'll find.
So she sets to work. She gets paper, she gets markers. She's not the best of artists, but she manages to accomplish what she has in mind. When she's finished, she hurries to Anna's room. Once outside, she takes a deep, steadying breath to steal herself. She knows Anna is going to be upset, so she needs to be calm and collected. She lifts her hand to knock.
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Then, she bends down and slides the paper under the door, face up. When Anna approaches the door, she'll see a drawing on the floor of Olaf, happy and waving at her. On the other side of the door, Elsa waits, feeling both eager and horribly nervous.
