Storm The Castle

"No, you may not! Leave!"

Felix made a rude gesture in response to Leofsig's glare, making a series of rude remarks in Swedish.

Lydia pulls Felix aside so Leo could get in

Elsa had retreated as far away from the door as the confines of the room would allow. Years of anxiety came flooding back, all her time spent reigning her powers in, keeping them in check for the safety of others. A few weeks ago she'd been happier than she could ever remember, when she built the palace she was in. Now she didn't dare forcibly remove these four...if she lost control she would almost certainly kill them.

Slumped against the wall, the former Queen of Arendelle frantically tried to think of a solution.

"You are not helping anyone" Lydia says to Felix

"Wh-NEITHER ARE YOU!"

"I'm stopping you from pissing off the most powerful being on the planet"

"I would never piss off the Cloak Goddess!"

"For the last f@#$ing time, there is NO CLOAK GODDESS"

"PROVE IT!"

"PROVE SHE EXISTS"

"I TOLD YOU FIRST, WOMAN!"

"WHY SHOULD I GIVE A @#$% ABOUT THAT?"

"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO."

"JUST, @#$% YOU"

"&^%$ YOU TOO!"

"Both of you be quiet!" Elsa shouted from within the room.

"HE STARTED IT"

There was a brief pause, presumably filled with a facepalm. "It doesn't matter who started it, all of you leave!"

"You heard her"

Leo mimicked the frightened Queen in the face palming moments.

"If you two want to fight," Leo started as he grabbed the two arguing, "take it outside!" He finished before throwing them out of the room. "You are making things worse." Leo looked to the others excluding the Queen. "Do I have to throw more people arguing over an meaningless subject? No? Good." Leo's glare softened into a look of apology when he turned to Elsa. "My apologies, some of my comrades can be....overwhelming at times but their hearts are good."

Elsa wondered how many times she'd have to tell this guy to leave before he got the point. Thankfully, she'd spent years training for dealing with foreign courtiers and diplomats, so she was easily able to bite her tongue before she managed to aggravate the situation. Telling them to leave wasn't working, forcing them to leave was essentially out of the question (though increasingly tempting)...what did that leave?

Minutes passed as she refused to answer Leofsig, racking her brain for a third option.

Leo noticed the silence before turning to the remaining of the group, excluding those he threw out of the room. That was when an idea hit him.

"Queen Elsa, we have no right to ask this of you but we require shelter for the night. We are willing to assist you with keeping those who would wish harm on you out of your castle. Think of us as a line of defense fore you and a line of protection for the outside world from your power." Leo suggested as he watched the queen.

"No." Elsa said shortly. There were so many things wrong with that idea...

She shook her head. Fine. If she couldn't get them out of her palace...She walked to the window and looked out and down. The mountainside was awfully steep for what she had planned - her palace took up one of the few relatively flat spots that were available.

There! That spot was just what she needed. Now to get down...

"Thinking up a plan?"

Elsa didn't respond, marshalling her concentration. Blue-white lights sparked near the edge of the window as she stepped out of it and onto a newly-created ice platform. She was pretty sure that her ice didn't need structural support while flowing, but the distance she had in mind was awfully long...Better safe than sorry. A crystalline tower of ice erupted from the snowdrifts below, rising quickly to the level of her platform.

"Wow" Lydia says impressed and amazed
