005 | Of names and other things...

[diehardreaper]

Here's a question for you lot.

[ Today finds Ronald under a tree, enjoying the weather as he uses Barkley (now a houndoom) as a pillow. ]

Color a bloke curious but... how'd you come up with names for your pokemon? Ever fancy naming them after anyone from home?

Just a passing curiosity!

She is, isn't she?

[Skadi makes a soft, happy noise, nuzzling against Elsa's cheek.]

Oh, it's all right to ask! I'm from Arendelle, a small kingdom in northern Europe.

[diehardreaper]

Arendelle... can't say I'm familiar but then I haven't gotten out of London s'much as I want to!

[ There's a laugh from that because really he should consider vacation time out of England sometime. ]

What's it like?

[defyingfrigidity]

Quiet.

[Elsa's expression goes soft. It's been a while since she talked about her home...]

The whole kingdom is spread throughout the mountains, and the village where the castle is located is right at the edge of the fjord... it's beautiful.

Arendelle is also one of the few places where the northern lights can be seen year-round. That's definitely a sight to see.

[diehardreaper]

[ There's a whistle of appreciation. You really can't help but get that nostalgic feeling with the way Elsa's talking. ]

M'sure a place like that's every bit as lovely as you say it is, Miss Elsa.

Maybe I could visit sometime once we get out of here, eh?

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, believe me, words can't do it justice. Even something as simple as the setting or rising sun reflecting off the snow in the mountains is enough to take your breath away.

[Elsa may have very little pride in herself, but pride in her kingdom... that's a different story.]

And you're more than welcome to visit whenever you wish! I'm sure the castle staff would be thrilled to start hosting new visitors even without any prior notice.

[diehardreaper]

Wouldn't want to impose!

[ There's a grin from that. Because gosh, a castle? Too fancy for him. ]

Course, I'm expecting you and Anna'd better show me around when I come round for a holiday though.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, you wouldn't be! Even with the staff living at the castle, there's plenty of room for guests.

[haha because they have no family isn't that funny]

Of course! Anna will definitely know all the best sights to see in the village, so I'm sure she'll be more than happy to drag us along.

[diehardreaper]

Then I could prolly bring Mister Spears? Provided I manage to pull him away from his work first.

[ Because as much as the poor blighter needs a vacation, he seems to be married to his work. ]

It's settled then! The minute we find a way home, the first chance I get to go on a proper holiday's going to be there.

[defyingfrigidity]

Excellent! But ah... who's Mister Spears, if I might ask?

[hardknoxlife]

Ah, right! Wasn't too sure if you knew him. He's my boss from back home.

[ And a snicker at that. ]

If anyone's in need of a holiday, it's him, I'd think.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa laughs a bit sheepishly. Boy, she can understand that... even in the few brief months between her coronation and waking up in Johto, Anna's pestered her more than a few times to just relax more.]

I think I can sympathize with him. So I'll be sure to let the servants know that he needs to relax above all else.

[diehardreaper]

I appreciate the offer, sweetheart but we'll prolly have to find a way to get home first, eh?

[ But he's still good-natured about it. The way Elsa talks about her home though, it's admirable. ]

Tell you what, if we do find a way back and I manage to bring him with me... you'n Anna'd better visit London when you lot get the chance. Just so we can pay back the favor.

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course! Not counting Johto, neither of us have ever been outside of Arendelle before. I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience.
