[I’ve said this a billion times, I know, but I really want to try and bring Kristoff back. This is going to be one of my goals in the coming year. What I might do is start over fresh with a new blog, move him there and sort out all my pages/info, and re-follow people.

But I’m going to do my best to bring him back, as I’ve missed writing him, and most of all, missed writing/talking with my friends here.]

     “…..You know, ya have a point.

I spent years building the Crimson Isle into what it is- a port, a plantation, my dream home no less but-                                             I catch meself every now an’ again longin’ far the days when the only bed I had was a hammock off the foresail, an’ that daily survival was the only worry I had.  Every now an’ again I take to the sea- sometimes ta hunt for treasure and others… far no reason at all.

I regret nothing an’ the Isle will always be my port o’ call.  Its mundane at times but its mine.  I can’t help but agree with ye however…                                                      There be hardly any adventure in it anymore…”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

Kristoff hadn’t meant any offense, but, as was the case, he wasn’t very tactful with his words.

“Well, maybe not fraught with adventure, but how many people can say they have something like that; all their own, and built up by their hands? A place like that...somewhere you feel comfort and at ease -- sounds a lot better than risking what you have in adventures.”

“I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love exploring and just the right amount of danger, but...Always good to have a home to go back to at the end of it all, you know? And, since you do have that, what’s stopping you from going out adventuring when you get the urge?”

⟅ ⚜  Wow. A visit! To say the least, this is certainly surprising. Or is it truly? The presence of the other in his study was unannounced, so it took Adam a moment to gather what was happening. Was this something he was conjuring up in his mind? The curse, showing him what he wanted to see on purpose just to rile him? or was this actual? Very much, the french prince desperately wished it were the latter. 

            Peering up at the other, Adam dropped the quill, small bits of ink blotting the long line of text by accident. Though, for all Adam cared he could really give a damn. Fix it later. This was far more important. Trying to remain calm, and collected. The prince removed his reading specs, and slowly stood. Making his way in front of the desk to lean against it whilst watching the other explain. Or attempt to. Tilting his head, and folding his arms against his chest. Marking their words as they spoke. Pissed? That is a bit overkill  to describe what Adam felt. Confused? That was probably more close to Adam’s labeling of the whole ordeal. Ashamed? Oh… More than Kristoff can know. For Adam was sure, that Kristoff’s absence was his fault. 

             Heart sinking as each word seemed like a struggle for the other. Perhaps this was now a redefining moment. For Adam’s heart has not changed. Not ever. Changing Adam would be like trying to change the course of a stampede of wild animals.  But to observe Kristoff in all his effort. It is most endearing. Pulling the corners of Adam’s mouth up into the gentlest smile as the other finished. 

              ❝ To see? Well then… Now you have seen… I am guessing, you will be parting, now?❞ Teasing softly, before standing to his full height, slowly approaching the other. 

              ❝ Kristoff… I know what our lives entail… At least my duties are somewhat diverting, but…. 

               The fault is mine, really. I should have wrote you. Though, I guess I was being stubborn. Of all things you might think— my faith is still with you. I never once doubted…you–  

               Well– 

               You could say I was more possessed by worry, and concern– but never anger. And… ❞  Bringing his hand up he ran the back of curled finger down the side of the harvester’s cheek, before meeting their gaze. 

               ❝ And I have longed to—

                 …Well I—-

                 Kristoff I missed you. ❞⚜ ⟆

It was funny how Kristoff had forgotten how much presence Adam had -- larger than life, really. There were very few things Kristoff could compare to the French royal, and most were not human. While he did not step back at the other male standing and walking around to the front of his desk, it did make the ice harvester tense.

He feared reaction, in all its complexity and simplicity. He’d never done something like this before, not with these implications, and he was edging and inching along like he was walking on thin ice. Which, for all intents and purposes, Kristoff felt like he was. This felt dangerous and anxiety-inducing. Adam had no hold over him, but Kristoff felt tethered to the other -- not in a bad way, just in a way that was unfamiliar and made him fret over his own actions concerning this other person.

Caring for other people wasn’t something he did very often, after all. In his life, people had not always been kind, and Kristoff had responded likewise when given a wrong turn.

But for those few he truly, fully cared about...

“I...Well, I mean, I will if you want me to...?” Kristoff replied slowly, his mind recognizing the hints of Adam’s soft teasing much slower due to the fact that he felt like a cornered rabbit here in this room, so close to someone he had wronged so dearly.

“Your fault?” Confused, incredulous. How did Adam find a way to blame himself for this, exactly?

The soft touch against his cheek completely blew out any arguments Kristoff had been about to spout off, the harvester biting down on his tongue to cease any foolish words or pathetic noises.

Missed you, too...

Instead, after recovering a little bit of his pride, Kristoff let out a low laugh. “You know, writing wouldn't have done you any good either. Even if I had a residence for you to send it to, I wouldn’t be able to read a word of whatever you put down to paper,” he breathed out, finally looking Adam in the eye.

He would always come back for the ones he cared for.

Alieen had opened her mouth to say something, but closed it as she sighed and nodded,“ okay…” she mumbled and tried to think of a way to tell him gently,“ papa,do you remember when I had that bad dream?”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

Kristoff thought back, and had a pretty good idea of which one she was speaking about. 

“Yes, I think I recall. But, what does that dream have to do with how you’ve been acting? That was a while ago now...”

[Fixed the more important links, ‘cause I forgot about that. I’ll probably need to go over things anyway and re-word or add things, but the general gist of things is still there.]

“You know, I’m not sure I ever thanked you for helping me find my buddy Sven way back now. I know I’m not exactly known for my manners, but even I think that’s pretty rude. If there’s anything I can do, you just give a holler, alright? Might not be good for much, but Sven and I owe you big for lendin’ us a hand when you did.”

Stretching his arms over his head, Kristoff didn’t relax them until he heard a muted popping from both his shoulders. 

It was just starting to really slow down in the ice selling department; the steady oncoming of fall making the hot days of summer become a bit more few and far between, ice no longer as desired in bulk outside of certain merchants in the marketplace. In a handful of weeks, Kristoff would be out of his main source of work, and earning his own keep more on odd jobs and hunting than the craft he loved so much.

“Well, I hope you’re prepared to see my mug around here more, Anna, because I’ll have practically all the time in the world once the first cold snap hits. Grand Pabbie’s been goin’ on about how this winter’s going to be real hard, lots of storms and such comin’ our way. You think you’ll be alright if you get snowed in at the castle?” he asked, one half joking and the other half mildly concerned. After all, Kristoff was aware of exactly how long Anna had been stuck behind those gates...

“Okay, I have to ask -- what in the world is so great about living on a private island? Sure, you’ve got it all to yourself, but there’s not much to an island when you really think about it. I mean, you could probably traverse the whole of it in a week or so, and where’s the adventure in that?”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

@princebete

“Adam...”

“Listen, I don’t...expect anything but you being pissed at me, to be perfectly honest. Left without a word, and didn’t even try to come back until now,” Kristoff started off, palming the back of his neck awkwardly to try and distract himself enough to actually remain talking, instead of clamming up and never finishing.

“...Probably won’t believe me when I say it now, but I meant to. Come back, that is.”

“But, uh, you know...Things happen, and what you want kinda gets shoved to the side for what you need to do. I don’t blame you for however you likely think of me in this moment, but I wanted to come back and at least...see.”

See that he was fine, see that he had kept up with moving on in life. See that good things had come his way. Just...see him.

[sociallyimpairedbear]

[I need to get more active here again, so like this for a starter! I’ll get to any throughout the night or in the morning!]

[alieenprincesss-deactivated2016]

Alieen sighed knowing that she couldn’t keep it to herself and her cousin much longer nor could she lie to her father,“ p-promise me you won’t freak out or tell mama,” she told him as she looked up at him.

[sociallyimpairedbear]

“Well,” Kristoff started, leaning back and folding his arms over his chest in deep consideration. “I can promise not to freak out. But, where your mother’s involved, I’m not going to lie or keep things from her -- especially where it concerns you.”

“But...After you tell me, I’ll give you time to tell your mother yourself.”

[alieenprincesss-deactivated2016]

Alieen nodded,“ yeah I’m okay,” she replied then sighed shaking her head,“ no I’m not, but I don’t want mama to know..not yet at least..” she said then nodded,“ yeah, I know papa, but I want to figure it out on my own… ”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

That’s what he thought...

“Know what, exactly?” the ice harvester gently pried, sensing that the girl was incredibly troubled by something. Something that she felt she had to keep a secret, which was all together unusual.

[sociallyimpairedbear]

[Sorry for disappearing again, but I had a 2 week job that left me without computer access.]

[sociallyimpairedbear]

@alieenprincesss

“You sure you’re okay? You’ve been acting...not like your usual self for the past few days. You know you can talk to me, right?”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

[Also lost all of my links, so give me a day or two to get my about & rules pages back up. I just don’t have the motivation right now to get to them.]

[xthesparequeen-a]

     Waving a hand over her face, she leaned back, wishing for nothing but some kind of shade and a cool drink. Figures that the hottest day of the year, her sister would be out visiting another kingdom for the week. They just had to rely on what they had to stay cool.

     “It’s too hot outside…it’s too boring inside…..this is miserable.”, she groaned lowly. At his suggestion though, she perked up and nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! I am totally okay with this plan! Luckily we’re at a corner of the fjord where ships don’t dock.”, she chuckled before unlacing her dress, taking off everything but her corset and bloomers. “Alright, race you to the water? On your mark…get set….” Before she even said go, she took off like lightning, racing to the fjord’s, happy to feel the cool water on her feet. “I WIN! Ha! Take that, mister reindeer king!”

[sociallyimpairedbear]

With Elsa away on political business, the only way they’d get any sort of extreme cool down is if they traveled far up into the mountains -- far enough to where there was still a good deal of snow and ice still around, that is.

“Alright, glad you agree. Why don’t we let-- Hey!”

“Anna, wait up!” Kristoff blustered after her, scrambling to keep up with the Princess’ head start. Anna reached the water first, of course, the ice harvester shooting her a playfully disgruntled look at her celebrating.

“That wasn’t a fair race, feistypants, and you know it,” he accused, kicking at the cool water so that it would splash Anna.
