[comeandfindme]

[ Early on Wednesday, word goes around for everyone to meet in the Boys Bathroom at noon again, for another meeting. This time, with Salieri's help, Peregrine is leading it. ]

Okay, you guys. So, we're all scared, but we're all still here. And now we know we're not alone. For our sake, and...for theirs, let's see what we've learned what we can figure out. ...We're not gonna have another repeat. Not again.

[whatyouwant]

Exactly! Social standing shouldn't get in the way of love! [STARES. AT. CASSANDRA.]

What about you, Elsa? Do you have anyone you have your eye on?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[

Stop looking at her, please. She's just a simple disney lesbian who crushes on memebers of the monarchy.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa almost jumps as Elle addresses her.]

Wh- Why me???

[whatyouwant]

Just a hypothetical. Like if someone from, say, the royal guard, asked you on a date. What would you say?

[defyingfrigidity]

[WHY IS SHE IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND WHY IS THIS SO SPECIFIC]

W-Well. Most of the women in the Arendellian guard are as old as my mother, so I'm not sure I'd be... okay with that???

[She ain't kinkshaming, that's just not her thing!]

[whatyouwant]

[Oh? What's that? Is it-

Blood in the water?]

Let's say a younger guard closer to your age. Or a member of castle staff? Would you at least consider it?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[The mention of women in the Arendellian guard was one thing that very casually peaked Cass's interest, but that?

Pardon her as she chokes on her spit.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Everyone here is CRUEL if Elsa wasn't twenty-four she'd be CRYING from being put on the spot like this.]

I- I suppose so??? If I knew her well enough? I wouldn't want to. Um. Rush into things. Or make her uncomfortable.

[She doesn't really sound like she's convinced herself too much of that. Not with how she's still trying very hard not to let her eyes linger too long on Cass.]

[whatyouwant]

Oh, of course! A rando coming up and asking for a date is totally weird. But like a person that you've already spent a lot time with is totally different.

[Elle smiles.]

You know, hypothetically.

[defyingfrigidity]

Of course. It's always better to get to know someone before you start dating.

[But. You know. Feelings are okay before that, right???]

A-Anyway. It's an interesting hypothetical situation, but I don't think that would apply to me. I never had handmaids growing up, and I doubt there's anyone in the guard like that, so... I wouldn't dwell on it too much.

[whatyouwant]

[It's what Elle is banking on!]

Handmaids? I don't think I ever mentioned handmaids. [Totally innocent smile that shows just maybe too many teeth.] There have to be more castle staff than just handmaids and guards. What made you default to that job title?

[defyingfrigidity]

[Fuck.]

W-Well the idea of differences in station mentioned earlier... I thought that sort of dynamic was implied as well.

[Someone please just come kill her now.]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle nods thoughtfully.]

So no particular handmaidens jump to mind? Perhaps ones that also have combat training?

[Is she laying it on a bit thick? Yes. Is she going to stop? Probably not until forced to.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa is trying very hard to maintain her composure. For the most part, she succeeds; she's had over a decade of emotional repression under her belt, after all. She can NOT, however, hide how absolutely beet red her ears are right now.]

I've- I've never had a handmaiden before. So no one such as that comes to mind, no.

[... Besides, she rarely thinks of Cass as a handmaiden. She knew that was her official job in Corona, yes, but everything about Cass just screamed warrior that it's easy to forget that aspect of her.]

[whatyouwant]

[Excellent.]

Well, I hope you meet someone soon! You're a real catch, you know!

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa just. Laughs nervously.]

Well, I don't think so. But I'm glad you think I could make someone happy.

[whatyouwant]

[Unfortunatly Cass just called her over, so Elle is standing up, but before she goes she gives Elsa's shoulder a squeeze.]

Whoever you choose to be with will be very happy. You're a wonderful person, Elsa.

[And just like that, she's whisked off by the woman you are totally not crushing on.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[as though OUT OF NOWHERE]

Hey, Elle! [Cass waves to her from Over Here] I need you over here for a second.

[The corners of her mouth are pulled taut.]

Now.

[whatyouwant]

Yeah, no problem!

[Elle, completely unintimidated, grins at Cass and practically bounces over to her.]

What's up, Cass?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Cass just laughs turning away from Elsa as she takes Elle by the shoulders and,]

Why are you doing this?

[whatyouwant]

[Elle, perfect grin still on her face, leans in and, in a low voice begins to speak.]

Because we are in a situation where we could quite literally die tomorrow and I think you should put on your big girl panties and go tell her how you feel.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

I- Uh-

[Congrats, Elle. It's not often Cassandra looks completely stunned, but that little talk just left her scrambling to re-collect herself.]

Okay, fine. I'll tell her. But I'll do it on my terms, okay?

[whatyouwant]

When?

[She is very serious about this.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

On my terms.

[so is she]

[whatyouwant]

Fine. But just so you know, she's totally in to you too. So, like, don't stress too much about it.
