Frozen Hearts

[notoriouspad]

Robin Hook has never felt so confused in his life before, not until he saw his wife Marian – who he knew was dead – walk right back into his life, thanks to Emma Swan and Captain Hook. But nothing is the same, his heart wants someone else and he knows it. It became fairly obvious when he tried to kiss his wife to break the curse she's into, only to have that fail.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone else that fact, not yet at least, so for the moment they all think that it didn't work because the frost in her lips kept Robin at bay. However, Robin is a loyal husband and his code doesn't allow him to be anywhere else but in Mary Margaret's office where his wife rests, with her heart safe and sound inside of Regina's vault.

It's also obvious to Robin that he's no longer alone in the office with his wife. He can hear steps approaching the doorway and he looks up to see who comes his way. “Can I help you with something?” Robin speaks long before the person appears in the doorway, but when his wife's life is at stake, he's not the kind of man to throw his caution to the wind.

Elsa was nervous. They tried and failed, and now. All she could really do was try and make amends, Regina had Marians heart safely secured from the freezing curse. Which now left a problem quite big.

Did Robin blame her for his wifes plight ?

So she had snuck off from Emma and Killian and went to find Robin on her own, oddly going back to the mayors office apparently. It reminded her of her own office on first glance back in Arendelle, at least the birds picture did; in her own study she had a massive painting of a Great Eagle on the wall.

He heard her coming as she stepped into the doorway. She was scared; "Yes" She said softly, "I wanted to let you know we found who did this. But..." How could she say that she had gotten away ? No, she couldn't do that! At least not yet at any rate. "She has magic like mine. But she refused to tell me how to reverse it, if at all. I'm sorry. I can try to slow it down though with my own magic, if you want me to at least" It was the least she could do, with half the town already after her head for what happened first to Leroy and her ice wall that refused to come down again.

Out of everyone that has stopped by since the initial wave, Robin didn't expect to see Queen Elsa approach him. Having never seen her before, he didn't exactly know what to expect from her. Of course, he has heard many things, some involving her Kingdom of Arendelle, but having never seen the Queen, or admittedly not paying close attention to her when she was was around with Emma, while Regina tried her best, he was still surprised to see her come.

Still, Robin is a gentleman in his own right – even with all his mistakes in a past life that seems so long ago, yet not that far – he stands from his seat and bow his head at the Queen before him. “Your majesty... thank you for stopping by.” Robin also nods his head, understanding what the Queen means when she says the evil-doer that put his wife under a spell refuses to let go. Having dealt with a Wicked Witch not long ago, he can relate to it. Robin looks over at his wife, still not knowing what to feel about the whole situation.

“Regina, she-- she tried everything she could think of at the moment. She can't slow it down and I... You saw me try, I can't help my wife either. What kind of a man am I, if I can't help those who need it, if I can't help my wife?” Desperation fills his voice as Robin realizes that his code can't help him in this situation, as a matter of fact he's not completely sure anything can help. He sits back down, never taking his eyes from his wife. “By all means, your majesty, if you think you can help...”

Finally taking his eyes from his wife, Robin takes a look at Queen Elsa, wondering just what sort of magic she can come up with and hoping, deep down in his heart, that for once something changes.

Elsa smiled, mostly shy at his words, "Please, you may call me Elsa. In this ..... place.... I'm not exactly a queen." In all honesty at that exact moment she felt absolutely helpless to do anything, Icicles she couldn't even save Killian of all things either! But somehow Elsa knew something was off. She knew her magic was strong even in this world!

His words however hit her heart, yet she never showed it. So she said thoughtfully. "Sometimes an act of true love isn't a kiss. Two years ago I.... accidently struck my own sister in the heart with my magic. She sacrificed herself to save me. right as she froze solid to protect me from certain death, her selfless act saved not only me. But she saved herself too. Even the white streak in her hair was gone when she thawed out!" Elsa was still in shock over it. Sometimes it was impossible not to see her sister in a crowd without that shock of brilliant white to point her out.

"I think I can slow it down though...." Elsa said thoughtfully stepping over to Marians laid out form on the sofa, her eyebrows had turned white at that point and ice grew on the young womans dark hair. Sitting close Elsa brought a slender hand forwards, tiny snowflakes bounced from her fingertips and plam off of Marians still form, however as the snowflake touched Marians frozen form they bounced off so strongly that they seemed to strike Elsas own hand with extreme velocity. She winced slightly but focused around Marians heart.

The snowflakes increased in speed and one of them increased in size until it was the size of a dinner plate spinning like a frisbee on her fingers the twelve points poking tiny lines of glasslike ice around Marians heart for long moments.

Finally after many long quiet moments of swirling snowflakes and shards of ice. The massive snowflake reteated up Elsas arm and faded away. Elsa took a deep breath. Marian looked a bit better. Not as cold. "I..... I did my best, She needs to stay as warm as possible. I slowed it down as much as I was able, not as much as I'd have liked, but its the best I could. But the slightest hint of cold, and the barriers I placed to keep the spell from spreading, will shatter within a heartbeat." She smiled, maybe that will cheer him up ? The poor man was distrought, she could see that clearly.

Despite having watched Regina do magic before, it still amazes him everytime that it happens. One would think that after living his whole life in the place named Enchanted Forest, Robin wouldn't even blink from seeing magic, but it gets him every time. But this time it's different, since ice magic is not something he can saw he's seen before.

But even in his amazement, Robin watches closely, looking for any changes in his wife's appearance. He doesn't see any physical change in Marian, but he believes the Queen when she says that the magic seems to have slowed down. He also pays special attention to Elsa's warning about getting Marian any colder than she is at the moment, so he quickly removes his jacket and places it over his wife's torso. “Thank you, your majes-- Elsa. It means a lot that you're willing to help.” Robin smiles weakly at the Queen before touching his wife's hand.

“She doesn't feel as cold, but...” With a sigh, Robin let's go of his wife's hand. “I'm not so sure about other forms of true love. It's... it's complicated. I don't even know what to think anymore. Maybe David was right, maybe it is the ice that is keeping me from saving her... I just hope we can help her.”

Again, Robin decides to hide the fact that he seems to know exactly why his kiss didn't work on Marian, but he doesn't want any more complications, not at this moment in time.

rElsa smiled softly "It is alright, it is the least I can do since everyone thinks I did it" She said softly, she sighed stepping back. "I am not sure either, I only know that Anna's sacrifice to save me was an act of true love. She saved herself, and me from certain death." She nodded, "It might be the ice, or the mavolent intent of .... the person that did this" Elsa wasn't sure to mention apparently having the person in question as a relative. It didn't make sense to her. She sighed, "I am just glad that I could do as best I was able." She said softly. "I am sorry this happened. If I could only figure out why the person did this..." She was at a loss, she dare not tell Robin she was apparently related to the woman that cast this spell. For all intents and purposes, it was besst to keep that quiet for as long as possible.

She turned towards the door but stopped after two steps. Completely unsure of what to say next. Should she tell him the person that did this to his wife was claiming to be her aunt ? It was an internal struggle, but there was not really much she could do. But if she told him the truth. How would he react ? With anger ? Fear ? Thanks ? So she said softly "Killian and I found her, out in the woods. The woman, she.... she said she was my aunt, but I dont see the relation. Or how she could be so cold hearted as to do this to you. I'm truly sorry. I can't reverse the spell, but I was able to slow it down for a little while." It was clear that Elsa was scared of how Robin would react to such news.

Robin wants to believe that Elsa is right, that there are other forms of true love that don't need to be a true love's kiss or that it is indeed the ice that is keeping him from breaking the spell, just like David suggested earlier... but Robin knows better. However, he still nods his head, trying to convince himself that the Queen is right.

“Sounds like your sister does love you and it does sound like an act of true love. And once again thank you for slowing it down, I'll make sure to tell Regina you stopped by. Maybe the two of you can work together to find some sort of a cure?” Robin now wonders if Regina would be willing to work with the Ice Queen to see if they can find a way to thaw Marian out of this curse... or to get rid of the woman who did this. It certainly doesn't help that the new piece of information that Elsa confided on Robin makes it an even more complicated matter.

“Your aunt...” Robin sits back down on the seat he was taking heavily. “And do you think she's telling the truth? I don't think revenge would suit me in this matter... but if you need help dealing with this woman, I'll be here. It wouldn't be the first time either.” He shakes his head slowly. “Regina, she... she had a sister here not long ago. She had her own agenda against Regina, she wanted her life... again, another complicated matter in this town but as you can see... relations don't matter, when someone wants something badly, they'll turn evil for it.”

Robin looks over at his wife, before looking back at Queen Elsa, confused. “But do you know why this woman did this? What does she want? Did my wife do something to her that we're not aware of?”

"If she is my aunt, I do not see the relation." Elsa replied softly, she sat in a low chair, truly scared of how Robin would reaction to such news, it wasn't in her to keep it from him, she wanted him to know. "If she is telling the truth, why do I not believe her ?" It was clear Elsa was conflicted about the whole thing. Why was she not even in Arendelle ? "I slowed the spell, but I can't remove it. Only.... only she can do that and she doesn't want to." She shivered where she sat

A long quiet uneasy moment was next before she spoke again. "She wants the town to hate me. She said my magic was dangerous and other people should see that. But that can't be, my kingdom loves me and my magic. Anna helps me control it, and now I can't find her, I'm stuck here in this town." Elsa was on the verge of crying again like she had when Anna left without warning. "I am truly sorry of what happened. I did the best I was able with my own magic. I truly hope it will keep her magic at bay." She was truly worried for Robin at that point. She had barely met the man that morning when she and Emma and Killian arrived. And now...

She was also very scared of what Robin might do to her, but she was thankful that he didn't attack her right off the bat. For all she knew she had found another friend in this massive town. So she said "If anything happens, her condition changes, or worsens, Please let me know, I will be with Emma, or her father, David trying to find Anna." She said to him, there was something of a friendly twinkle in her eyes as she spoke. She wanted to help Robin and his wife, she wanted the man to not worry and be happy with his family.

Robin has absolutely no reason as to why he wouldn't believe when Elsa talks about this woman that seems to want to hurt everyone in Storybrooke, if it means everyone is going to blame Elsa for it – sounds like the thing of things that happen in Storybrooke all the time, so Robin nods his head at the Queen slowly. “So this woman hurt my wife to make us all believe that you did it? I have to say... she somewhat succeeded in the matter, I overheard Regina talking to Emma about it.” Robin looks down at his hands, still feeling the cold from his wife's body.

“Don't worry, I believe you. As I told you, there's been worse happening to this town.” He looks back up at Elsa. “Ice magic... it's certainly different, isn't it? It's different from the magic I've seen in this town – or back in the Forest. My son would have loved that neat trick you just did on Marian.” A bittersweet smile appears in Robin's lips, because despite the fact that his wife is in a frozen state due to a curse some random woman cast on her... his son would have still loved the display of magic, as he always does when Regina would indulge him, after much pleading on his end.
