Log:

[The change in weather this month just wasn't agreeing with Elsa.

Even after almost a year in this land, Elsa still adjusted to the change in seasons rather slowly. She never really had to worry about it before, since her magic always kept her body at a cool enough temperature, and Arendelle's summers weren't drastically warmer than spring or fall. But here, without any sort of magic to help her...

It wasn't so bad normally, since the weather changes were so gradual... but this month had been downright bizarre, and her body was trying to keep up.

So she told herself last week that it wasn't a big deal that she was feeling off. She ignored it, waved off any concern from her companions, and generally fought against the lightheadedness and coughing that had been plaguing her. But ignoring a growing sickness is totally different from ignoring her powers. Meaning it was too late to do anything when it finally hit her hard with the latest bitter temperature drop, not long after the intense snowball fight she had with Anna and Asami. Still, she tried to fight it...

A fight which may in fact be a losing one. Currently, the poor queen has planted herself in front of the window of their small room at the inn, face pressed to the near-freezing glass as she whines in a very childish manner.]

Go awaaaaay....

[ Asami had gotten a feeling Elsa was coming down with something, but she didn't want to just force the other woman to rest. ]

[ She raises her eyebrows when Elsa just straight up whines at the window. ]

Is that aimed at me, the snow, or the window you're hugging?

[ She probably should have seen this coming, but in her own defense, Anna had never seen Elsa get like this; as Elsa said, she doesn't normally get colds, so when her sister looks as feverish as can be, she can't help but assume the worst... ]

Or maybe she's talking to her fever?

[ The poor baby... ]

Elsa, are you okay..?

[It's truly telling that it takes Elsa - who was more or less okay during their intense snowball fight the other day - a second to push herself away from the window, almost too quickly spinning around to face them.]

I-I'm fine! just, ah... just a little headache.

That's my guess.

[ Asami addresses Anna quietly before moving to stand beside Elsa's perch of misery. ]

Maybe you should lie down for a little while.

T-that might be a good idea! You might not usually get sick, but there's a first time for everything...

[ And she really doesn't look too good, Anna has to admit. She's used to Elsa being a bit paler than most, but this is worse than usual... ]

I-if you want, I can make you some soup or something! That'll be good for you, right?

[Elsa pouts at that. A full-on pout, complete with little hmph!]

I'll be fine. I rested enough last night; I don't need to rest again.

If you don't get sick often, that can actually make it worse when you do get sick. At least take it easy for today? It's not like we have anywhere to be, and we're lucky that we're inside.

Well, we are pretty snowed in. We could just kind of make it a pajama day, I'm sure none of us would mind that...

But I'm fiiiiine. [Yes, the I is most definitely drawn out there. Possibly because of a building sneeze, but the feeling fades before she could actually sneeze, thank goodness.] Even if we're stuck inside, I don't need to lay down.

[And because she really needs to get the subject off of herself here, she nods towards Anna.]

I'm surprised, though. I never thought I'd see you pass up a chance to play in the snow.

[Asami only sighs at Elsa's repeated objections. There's only so much she can do, but if Elsa works herself into the ground, she's only going to make the brewing cold worse.]

If we're looking to stay inside, I'm sure we could play cards or board games.

[Trying to suggest things to do...]

The snow's not going away anytime soon, I don't think. And I'm obviously willing to stay inside and take a day off if you are. Card games don't seem like a bad idea, though, I'm more than okay with poker or something!

[Elsa looks between her sister and her friend, a somewhat wary expression on her face. Like she thinks they're plotting something behind her back....]

Well, if that's what you two want, I suppose...

[Even sick and grumpy, Elsa still tries thinking of everyone before herself.]

[Yes, Elsa, the grand evil scheme of making sure you don't turn into a sick wreck.]

Great!

[Asami pokes into her bag for some cards. She also SUBTLY pulls out water bottles for everyone as to not draw attention to the fact that she's trying to keep Elsa hydrated.]

[ Asami, you truly are heaven-sent. ]

It's as good a way to spend the day as any, I think! And the storm's only getting heavier, y'know..!

[A PLOT IS STILL A PLOT, ASAMI. SHE KNOWS YOU'RE PLANNING SOMETHING.]

I... suppose you're right... and it's not something that we'll need to stop and rest after playing, so that's good too.

[Brat.]

Of course we're right.

[Asami settles down on the floor of the hotel room and starts shuffling.]

Okay, so... What do you guys want to play?

Well, to be honest, I don't really know how to play much other than Solitaire...

Same here. [Elsa shrugs, wiping at her nose. She's still a little suspicious, but if she has to play along...] I didn't have anyone to play anything with, so I don't know any games either.

[... Another clue to Elsa not feeling good: being a bit more loose-lipped about the whole "thirteen years of isolation" thing...]
