Anna softly pads through the apartment attempting to figure out why everything is so cold, while not disturbing Elsa. She is painfully aware of her freezing bare feet and she tries to stir up some heat by rubbing the knuckles of her toes against the back of her calf. It does nothing. Once she tries to turn the heat on a few times but comes up empty, she deduces that the heating system must be broken again.

When it went out previously she would just curl up with Kristoff under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate, but he wasn't there- and Elsa wasn't necessarily a substitute. She wanders into the older woman's room, expecting to find a peacefully sleeping body- ignorant to her slight intrusion, but instead her gaze is met by a fully awake Elsa.

Anna lowers her head and attempts to make it seem like she had an actual purpose for entering the room. "It's pretty cold in the house. I was just checking to see if you were okay."

Elsa takes in a breath but doesn't speak. The silence between them is thick, and both girls wish they knew how to properly cut through it- but it seemed like an impossible task. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Elsa speaks. "You don't have to worry about me. The cold doesn't bother me much."

Crap. Elsa wishes she had found nicer words to say, but those were the only ones that came to mind. They had seemed comforting in her head, but speaking them out loud was a different story. She looks to Anna, hoping the younger girl understood what she was trying to say, but it doesn't appear that she has.

Anna folds her arms, desperately trying to conserve heat. "I know that, Elsa." She looks up. "It's just- it's just that I'm not that used to having you around... so I'm always tempted to come in your room to make sure this is real... to convince myself that you're actually here."

Elsa looks away from Anna and blinks away a tear. She was tired of crying and she had a feeling that Anna was tired of comforting her. "If you're cold... you can get in bed with me." Elsa pauses and clears her throat, her cheeks heating up when Anna doesn't immediately respond. "I mean... th-that is if you want. I probably won't do much-"

She is interrupted by Anna abruptly climbing into the bed beside her. Elsa inches over to make room and the girls lie facing each other, but not touching. The tension in the air between them is almost palpable and Anna makes a feeble attempt to lighten the mood. "When I was little I swore the house would drop a couple of degrees whenever you were upset. I thought you had superpowers." Her voice trails off as she looks Elsa in the eyes.

Elsa's mouth involuntarily curls up into a smile. She missed being this close to Anna. "So what was my superpower? Making the house cold?"

"No," Anna laughs, "-when you were happy the house was warm, and when you were sad it was cold. I just thought you could control the weather."

Elsa reaches toward Anna, moving a strand of hair from her younger sibling's cheek. "Is that why you came in here- you thought I might be upset?"

Anna shrugs. "I just want to be close to you." She pauses, looking over her older sister. A week ago Elsa could barely look at her and now they were sharing a bed. "You seem happier."

Elsa nods, offering a slight smile. She isn't as happy as she one day hopes to be, but she had been feeling slightly better. "Yeah... I even uhm- I looked up some things that people do with prosthetics. Did you know that I could run a race one day?" She tries to put as much optimism as possible in her voice. She wants to give this a real shot.

Anna's face lights up and it brings a special warmth to Elsa's heart. The younger girl throws an arm around Elsa, pulling her into a hug. "That's fantastic. Does this mean you want to get fitted?"

Elsa returns the hug, burying face into Anna's hair. "Yeah," she whispers, "I want to get fitted and start therapy.." She takes in a deep breath. "I want to try to make the best of this situation. I'm not saying I won't still have my bad days... but I can try." She pulls her head back and looks Anna in the eyes. "Anna I want to try."

Anna gives her a reassuring smile. "I know, Els. I was just telling Kristoff how happy I was that you were trying. I can't begin to understand what you're going through, but I know it isn't easy."

Elsa starts to laugh. She can't figure out why but she has this overwhelming feeling of joy. Anna joins in and both girls find themselves giggling uncontrollably. Elsa starts to shake her head. "I always have this feeling that I'm going to upset you or disappoint you... but you always stick by my side no matter what."

Anna nods with a smile. "Yeah, Els. I'm always gonna be here. It's not going to be easy getting rid of me." She runs her hand over Elsa's arm. "You know, it's starting to feel a little warmer in here," she says, with a wink.
