              the endless rumbles coming from her stomach seemed never ending now; i mean - it has been a few hours until she last ate after all. maybe getting a small snack down the bakery a few blocks down would end this annoying sound that’s followed her throughout the day. mal followed the scent trail (and obviously the gps on her phone) to look for this place; only for her to not pay attention, leading her to bump into stranger.  ❝  maybe try and watch where you’re going next time.  ❞  mal replied, having one more thing to be annoyed about. a sigh escapes her lips as she tries to push her way through the entrance,  ❝  sorry. i didn’t mean to snap like that - guess i’m just hungry. it was my fault for not watching out.  ❞  

    “oh, i’m sorry! you’re right--i should have been more aware of my surroundings.” anna is quick to apologize to the younger woman. despite the attitude she has just been dealt, after years of her own clumsiness resulting in even worse scenarios anna understands the frustration it can cause well enough to let it roll off her shoulders. she shrugs and as the purple-haired girl goes to open the door of the bakery, she moves to hold it for her, a simple attempt to be friendly and make up for her mistake.

all  things  considered,  walton  wasn’t  a  bad  place.  he’d  been  in  worse  case  scenarios  …  okay,  maybe  he  hasn’t  but  the  point  still  stands.  it  could  be  a  lot  worse.  the  people  were  at  the  very  least  semi-nice,  he  could  go  wherever  he  wanted  (  he  hadn’t  run  into  his  dad  yet,  thank  god  -  he  needs  a  break  from  whatever  turmoil  his  parents  have  decided  to  put  him  through  )  and  there  really,  wasn’t  any  rules.  it  was  like  a  free  for  all.  ricky  liked  it  ;  the  change  made  him  a  bit  antsy,  but  it’s  not  like  he  can’t  find  a  distraction. he’d  been  walking,  lost  in  his  own  thoughts  when  he  bumps  into  someone  -  or  they  bump  into  him?  -  on  the  sidewalk.  it  didn’t  hurt,  not  like  falling  off  his  board  would,  but  it  did  knock  the  wind  out  of  him.  "sorry,“  his  voice  has  a  bit  of  a  wheeze  -  no  air  to  breathe,  yet  he’s  apologetic  nonetheless.  "didn’t  watch  where  i  was  going,  i  guess.”

     feeling remarkably bad for bumping an innocent pedestrian into breathlessness--never mind that he happens to be much taller than her despite being many years younger and thankfully didn’t lose his footing in the collision--anna quickly responds to make up for the misstep. “oh, no, no. it was my fault; turned right into your path, like whoa, watch where you’re going, anna! other people are walking around here, too...”

    chastising herself, she hopes to reassure the kid that he’s faultless in the matter. he seems to be well-mannered to even apologize to her. “actually, i was just going in to the bakery. do you want anything? my treat. to make up for, you know, that.”

Arendelle was almost always on Elsa’s mind. She considered whether her people were doing well, who was ruling in her place, and what could have possibly caused her abrupt… change of scenery. Elsa coped by imagining Walton as something temporary, although she doubted that was entirely true. If she knew anything about magic, it was that magic lasted. No matter how little Elsa understood about her icy powers, she did understand that they remained.

As she considered Arendelle and her new home by proxy, Elsa spotted bright red hair and immediately smiled at the sight of her sister. At least they were still together. On one hand, it was comforting, she was relieved, but on the other, Anna was the only other person Elsa genuinely trusted with their kingdom and if either of them were stuck here, Elsa would always prefer it was her. As the two of them clumsily collided, Elsa couldn’t help but laugh and put a comforting hand on Anna’s arm. “Are you okay?”

     The presence of her sister filled Anna with relief; if not simply because she loved to be around her, then at least because her clumsiness hadn’t resulted in her bowling over a stranger. That would be way too awkward to handle this early in the day. She couldn’t help giggling along as Elsa laughed at her, steadying her with one hand. Even if they were displaced from their home currently, some things never changed.

     “I’m fine,” she answered happily, regaining her balance. “Actually, it’s a good thing I ran into you. I mean, not literally--it would’ve been better if I hadn’t run into you--but I was just going to go to the bakery...” She motioned at the doorway she’d been attempting to head into. “Do you wanna come with me?”

     Wandering the streets of Walton Creek, Anna was lost in thought. She was so busy lately catching up on a couple hundred years of history and technological advancement that she hardly had time for anything besides her studies. She hadn’t even stopped for a pastry in who-knew-how-long, which she was rudely reminded of as she passed by the bakery, the scent wafting out catching her off-guard and making her stop abruptly.

(I’m gonna try to not spoil anything from the second movie unless threading with those who have already seen it!!)

Anna is the younger of two sisters of the royal family of Arendelle.

She loves her home and her family (blood and found) more than anything in the world--when she first arrived in Walton Creek, they were the only thing that kept from totally freaking out (she did freak out a little, but who can blame her?)

She’s worried to be away from her kingdom, not knowing what’s going on with her people back home or if she’s ever going to find a way back.

Nevertheless, she’s taken to the modern style of life in this town, and is just as fascinated with the wide range of people and the respective kinds of magic some of them possess as she’s always been with her sister’s.
