about:

“See, it sounds so odd and strange. I don’t know if I can really talk about it.” How could she try to explain to someone that she almost married a mole? Surely she must seem insane in this world and it makes her prefer to just put on a small smile. Pretend everything is all right. That she has always been this size and everything was okay. “Oh that sounds terrible” She frowned, “He did not succeed though?” She hoped that was the case. Pausing in her making of another flower necklace, she wondered at Kristoff’s question. Why wasn’t she going to see Cornelius? “He has his own life here” She told him, her voice a little more quieter, “And I shouldn’t really impose.” Besides, she was the one that insisted they try to find their own way, wanting to make sure that what they felt was true. Wouldn’t she just be going back on that if she constantly sought him out? She shook her head, “I didn’t have him for awhile. Thought he was completely gone. So when he came back, I just. Needed to make sure that what I felt and thought weren’t just spur of the moment. So I am just making friends on my own. Does that make sense?” 

"It's okay. I used to know a talking snowman, so strange is kind of relative." If they were really going down that rabbit hole, Kristoff talked to a reindeer every day and sometimes he talked back. "No, Anna and Elsa saved each other. Then Anna punched him in the face. It was great," he chuckled. That was one of his fondest memories of Arendelle.

He frowned slightly, not sure he believed that. He only had himself and Anna to compare it to, but she was never imposing her presence on him--and Kristoff found a great many people to be an imposition. "Yeah, that makes sense. It's good to have your own identity before you get in a relationship. Maybe? I don't know," he admitted with a small smile. "Anna is still figuring some stuff out, and I like to think I'm not holding her back from that just because we're together."

“Oh no. It went wrong because of the frog.” Maia frowned, “Though I guess if her son didn’t see me with the fairy then maybe he wouldn’t have wanted to kidnap me?” All of that was so confusing and really all in the past. There were other things for her to worry about now, after all. “Oh. Ex-boyfriend?” She asked curiously, “That sounds… Lovely? At least you have her and her sister.” Giving him a smile she shook her head, “I have Cornelius, my fairy prince. Or well, was. But I don’t see him often. Beyond that, I don’t really have anyone.” Realizing how sad that sounded, she shook her head, “Which is okay. I can make new friends.” 

"Ah. You were kidnapped by a frog." He didn't really know what to say to that, so he'd resorted to repeating the last thing she said while he processed it. His world had its strange things, but Maia's sounded stranger. "Yeah. He's also a prince who tried to kill both of them," he said dryly. Anna might believe that Hans could change, but Kristoff wasn't convinced. He didn't lose his skeptical look at the mention of a fairy prince; he didn't think much of princes, but he'd had bad experiences with them. "Why don't you see him?" Asking blunt questions was really the only tool in his belt besides silence. Maybe he should have gone with the second one in this case, but it was no way to continue the conversation.

Anna giggled a little, probably buoyed by his intimate attention and the way she felt for him.  Plus, she knew him well enough to detect the note of wry affection in his voice.  She didn’t take offense to his words.  “Yeah, well, in some cases you’re an equal partner in the ride.  We can have two drivers.  Kind of.  That’s an awkward analogy, but I think you know what I mean.” 

Kristoff almost always knew what she meant, even when he wished he didn't. This wasn't one of those instances where he didn't want to know. "I like to think I pull my own weight," he agreed. Anna might be the spark behind all of their adventures, but he was a useful sort of person to have along for them.

She'd asked him to think about the boundaries they'd set for intimacy. He had, and that request was pretty easy to reconcile with his own feelings, once he got out of his own way. "Then I want you to stay." He dipped his head, brushing his lips over the fluttering pulse in her neck, and it felt good to give in and not be responsible, even for something as minor as making her miss class.

“That is sweet.” Maia nodded, giving him a small smile but refraining from asking questions. She never met a troll before and felt like maybe she should read some of her fairy tales to brush up on the subject before approaching Kristoff about it again. “Well it was, until I met a fairy” She sighed, smiling a little at the thought of Cornelius before frowning, “But then a lot of things went wrong and then… I came here. Tall.” She tilted her head, curious, “So you have friends from your home here too besides Sven?” 

Kristoff had never met a fairy, but it wasn't exactly a surprise to hear they existed alongside trolls and Snow Queens. "Things went wrong because of the fairy?" If they weren't nice like in stories, then that seemed like good information to have. "Yeah. My girlfriend, Anna. And her sister, and her ex-boyfriend. That's all, I think." He wasn't even going to touch the subject of whether or not Jack Frost was from his world, or any world in particular. "Are there other people here from your home?"
