Two sisters that had once been so terribly alike in manner and interests could not be any more different in demeanor on this day. It was not just any day - it was the day that both had waited for a long time. Coronation Day. While Anna was quite literally singing with joy as she ran around the castle, the same butterflies that tickled her sister into a joyful frenzy had turned Elsa into a tense ball of anxiety. Her shoulders were straightened against the world and back stiff. Her brows knit together above her eyes as she concentrated hard to keep herself contained.
No, to keep her powers contained.
Anna was practically floating around like a cloud in celebration of the momentous event, her excitement so plain in her face. Her eyes glittered like perfectly cut diamonds and her face was flush with the exertion of energy of quite literally flinging herself about through the crowds. Elsa watched her from afar, the quiet and stoic in comparison to Anna’s wild and free nature. Even she couldn’t stop a small smile from coming to her lips. It was the small joy of watching her sister enjoy the little things in life that helped her through the ceremony itself.
The ceremony was nothing special, though the entire kingdom had packed itself into the church to watch her. Her gown was elegant and her cape a long train behind her that drug across the floor in a gorgeous sweep. She felt as stiff as the ice that she could create, every movement of her body precise and planned. A smile here, a wave there, the slow murmur and mumble of polite conversation. They were lead from the ceremony hall of the church to the main ballroom, where a band was already playing soft music in the background.
Elsa was thankful to feel the eyes move away from her, people scattering to enjoy the festivities of dancing and eating the food complimentary to the people. She could hear the joy of the people in the way that they moved about her, something she had long since come to understand that she would never know but would always enjoy watching. There was so much activity in such a small room, and with the distraction of the dancing that had now turned to full-swing as the band swelled up the tempo of the music, she had lost sight of the most important thing - Anna.
The soft smile that she had dared to let play on her lips turned downward, worry crossing her features before she reigned herself in. She strayed away from her designated place, hands twisting themselves slowly as she searched the crowd. And there - in the corner - she thought she could see her. Just beyond the crowd was a piece of familiar green fabric, her worry melting into relief. Elsa crossed the crowd, sliding mostly unseen through the people as she made her way over there. “Anna?” She called out once she was close, “Is everything okay?” She got around the last bit of people and her frown returned.
The green fabric was nothing more than part of a painting partially hidden by a decorative curtain, her eyes moving back to the crowd. Anna had to be among them… But in a crowd this size, it would be easy to lose anyone.
