So I know I should probably say something about this totally amazing castle. I mean, it's not every day you just happen to fall into a magic castle with magic journals and who knows what else. [ She just takes a moment to let that settle in. ]. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more excited. But, there's a tiny tiny little problem I've run into. It's kind of lucky I found this thing on me, who knows what would happen if I didn't!

Let's start by saying the place I came from wasn't exactly the warmest. Long story short, my sister kind of froze the whole thing over and I had finally made it to her ice castle before I ended up here-- But that's not what I'm here for! I mean, I'd love to see my sister and all if possible, but worrying about that can wait until later.

Long story short, I kind of have this friend. My friend is... Well, I'm just going to say it. My friend is a snowman. Crazy, I know, I know. Talking snowmen-- Yikes! I was pretty frightened at first, but that's a story for another day. My friend-- The snowman-- Olaf-- Well, I'm just going to say it-- [ She takes a deep breath and says the next part really fast. ] Olaf is now kind of a puddle of water at the castle's entrance.

There, I said. I know we should probably mop him up, but he always wanted to know what summer was like. I feel like he deserves at least that much, even if he does have to spend it as a puddle. So please, please, please don't step in him or mop him up. I'll take care of him myself after he's had at least a few days to enjoy the weather.

[ If you'd rather run into her she can be found standing guard over a puddle in the lobby, glaring menacingly at anyone who dares get too close. ]

... That would potentially explain things.

[ Except for some other things. He remembers quite a bit of time without being able to find you, and so that brings other things to mind. ]

Two questions - Have you punched anyone named Hans in the jaw, and is the puddle in the middle or elsewhere?

[ He can tell where Anna is - at least, he recognizes the voice, so it is likely Anna - but puddles on the ground aren't much help. He stays close to the side of the castle for now, at least. ]

Wait, what? Now I'm just confused. Who are you and how do you know my fiances name and why on earth would I dare even think about punching that... incredibly handsome face.

The puddle-- It's, well, kind of in the middle-ish... maybe?

... Then you have left.

[ Duke remains still for a moment, head tilting as he thinks. Can he manage to not sound fairly creepy? Probably not. ]

Near six weeks ago, you indicated you had. Although the phrasing you gave does not match...

[ 'Some jerk who was taken off guard' is not 'incredibly handsome face'. Unless she had punched two people. ]

... and I am Duke.

What? I'm confused here-- How could I have left a place I'd never been in the first place?

Just... The Duke?

Because it does something involving time. I have talked to an Anna who has a sister Elsa, then could not find her, and now you are here.

[ Confirmation she is more or less the same girl, right there. ]

'The' is unnecessary. Had I not left the empire, it would be a title. As it is, that is my name.

I don't think I'm following you here-- So I left and then what? What's it to do with time? Or are you trying to tell me there's an alternate me out there with a sister named Elsa that hates Hans? That just sounds silly.

So, does that make you The Duke Duke? [ She giggles. ] That just sounds silly. Can I just call you Duke?

... Someone who is better at speaking with others may be less confusing. Let it stand that I had offered to help an Anna who is sister to Elsa learn how to fight. She is no longer here, you sound the same, so if there is interest, the offer stands.

[ Now he's just sounding tired. This is what he gets for trying to talk to people. ]

... No. And yes, that is why I said I was Duke.
