Well, either you're an incredibly fast traveler, or something's going on here, because it's been a whole year since I've got to this place and I only just reached this city...
[There's not exactly much she can do; there's not much of a way she can send him back home or anything, as great as that would be. The most she can probably do is..]
But if you wanna go back to the Southern Isles, all you have to do is catch that ferry over there, I think.
[She feels a bit bad that she's gonna be forcing this guy on the poor people of Kanto, but it's better than him staying here.]

[Her words cause him to pause, leaning back slightly with his hand lowering from his face again once he's sure that his nose isn't just bleeding everywhere.
For a second, he allows a sarcastic sort of smile to spread onto his features.]
...Really? Because if I recall correctly, your sister explicitly told me that there is no way to leave this place.
[Then, it all but disappears, his expression turning cold.]
That, or one of you is lying to me.

I've been here for months, and it isn't even the first time I've displayed my powers. Some of the others... [She pauses for a moment, looking down at Fenrir as if for reassurance.] Some of them know about things that happened in the past. But still, they've said nothing but good things.
[She isn't sure why she's telling him this. Maybe it's to show that she's much stronger now emotionally. To show him that he can't break her as easily as he did in the fallout of her coronation.]

[A familiar six foot long furscarf. She'd been left with him once, so very long ago, and he knows that form. Or at least, thinks he does. Ducking out from under Hina's head, he moves, reaching out to snatch the Furret from the air.
Not that he can hold it very well; it's far too wriggly, and he's far too short. He tightens his grip, but it just wriggles the other way.]
Hanatarou!
[Nope too wriggly too squirmy was she always like this freaking--she escapes, still heading for Nanao. Better duck, Mother!]

Oh no, someone who seems relatively trustworthy could be possibly deceiving you? My goodness, I can't even imagine just how awful that feels...
[Looks like that might be as close to an outright admission as Hans'll get.]
I mean, everything's weirder than normal lately, so I don't know what things are gonna be like today, but...

[ Intimidating, no. Capable of inducing petty jealousy in Bandou, probably. Cept he's not thinking of that just yet. He's just glad he found her and she wasn't wandering around by herself for too long. ]
Yeah, I've been here awhile. You just got here though, right?

[ Taking a long drag of his cigarette. No Ponyta, don't nudge Izumo, he doesn't want your attention. ]
I don't know what the hell this thing is.
I don't know what the hell this thing is.
[He wants to tell her that continuing to think that might be a lost cause, but it would be redundant to at this point. Either way, his frustration is clear enough in his expression. But that does tell him one thing; the people here are apparently just as naive and trusting at the people of Arendelle were, so that's something for him to think about.]
...I see. I'm...certain you're enjoying that, then.
[Of course, it doesn't make this conversation any less awkward and tense, but he expected no less.]

[He huffs, rolling his eyes.]
Look. I just arrived, and I'm well aware that you and your sister have been here for some time, but I'm not at all interested in entertaining formalities with either of you.
[Tl;dr, you can hate him as much as you'd like and he'll just yolo somewhere else, so long as he doesn't have more people aiming to punch his face.]
There's likely nothing for me here, anyway.
[It's...likely preferable to home, but he won't say that to her.]

[Roman seems less than convinced, if the way he looks Osaka and her Jigglypuff over is anything to go by.]
I...guess.
[He continues to eye that Jigglypuff though because what is he actually looking at, here.]
...what is that, anyway?

I am, very much so. The people here have helped me more than I thought I needed, and for that, I am forever in their debt. I'll do whatever I can to come to their aid if they're ever in trouble, as they once did for me.
[It's a much subtler threat than the one she gave him earlier, but the edge is still there. She's going to reinforce the fact that she's not going to let him work his way into the heads or hearts of the people she's come to care for.]

[It may be subtle, but he can pick it out. Years of living with his brothers who would do things exactly like this when speaking with him makes it hard to miss the inflection. It always felt like he was being talked down to.]
Well, that's what a royal does, now isn't it?
[He fully expects for a retort to that commenting on his own lack therof in that department, but no matter what she says it won't change the fact that he did provide her own people with aid when she was responsible for them nearly freezing to death.
Not that it makes up for trying to murder both her and her sister, but you know what we'll just not talk about that.]

You're not even trying. Are you seriously telling me you know so many people with white hair and red eyes that it's difficult to remember them?
[And if he's never met her before, then he has to have come from before the war even began. That would be a new temporal annoyance.]

{Nanao just braces herself as six feet of wiggly fur collides with the force of a thousand small suns.}
Mmmf, yes, hello Hana..! {Six feet of chittering weasel frantically grooming her is not something she ever thought she would have been nostalgic - and yet here she was, giggling away.}

No, that's what a friend does.
[Call it sappy, but hey. How she feels about those people isn't some sort of mutually beneficial agreement between distant parties. She cares about the ones she met here like she cares about her people. Like she cares about Anna, in some cases...]

[ Give her a second to swallow down half a pokeball-shaped dorayaki before turning her attention to Rin. ]
What's a food competitor? Is that someone who gets to eat all the food they want? I wanna be a food competitor!
[ !! Sudden realization as the munchlax gobbles down a small pile of dumplings. ]
Aaaaah! Munchy, I was saving that!

Friends, subjects...there comes a point when there isn't much difference.
[He says quietly, less as a counterpoint and more of just something he's saying to confirm it for himself. She might feel the need to make friends, but he knows it's rare you'll ever find a genuine one.]
You of all people should know that friends tend to not always be as genuine as you think.

[Yeah, about that.....]
That's good. I really don't want to talk to you for any longer than I have to, myself. But trust me, the last thing you want me finding out is that Elsa or one of my friends just so happened to cross paths with a lying dirtbag of a prince and something happened, you know? You may not be doing your nice guy act now, because we don't fall for it anymore, but I'm sure you're thinking other people will. But I really don't wanna have to find out that you messed with someone you shouldn't have, because it probably wouldn't end up going well.
So you can just kinda mosey along to wherever with your cute little horse and not worry about your twelve big brothers for a while and hopefully we won't have any problems. Elsa has lots of friends here, so if you say even one bad word about her, my Gyarados will eat you.

[You know, that could almost have been taken for a legitimate threat up until she mentioned something about a Gyarados eating him. He doesn't even...know what that is...]
Don't worry, I plan to. I'm honestly surprised that your sister hasn't already dragged my name through the mud...but I wasn't expecting much better from you.

[His gaze drifts slightly at her words, swallowing nervously as he manages to speak up, hurt]
No, but... [a beat, as he tries to get himself together] The ones I did know are gone.
[Dead, he implies, but doesn't say]

Well, you kind of pretended to be in love with me and asked to marry me so you could take over my kingdom and kill my sister. And then left me locked in a room to freeze to death while you tried to attack her with a sword.
That kind of leaves an impression on a girl.

[Well, at least he's not here for her sympathy.]
If it makes you feel any better, even I think that you would be a fool to want to trust me now. But if you and your sister stay out of my way, I'll stay out of yours.
[BUT...if you two make a point of making it near impossible for him to live here, then things might get ugly.]
