Anna's family

All is NOT well

At The Fireplace

Checking his broken arm, Professor says “My god, such a noise... they must be having too much fun”
Nigel – I fear you misinterpreted what you heard Mr Porter. Those are the hooligans we mentioned.
Professor – Ah yes, I see. What are they protesting exactly?
Nigel – Those are our internal matters... but you do not seem to be the British spies I expected. Quite the contrary...
Nigel clears his throat to correct himself.
Nigel – Excuse me here, they demand we stop promoting disobedience of Kaiser... then again we may be forced to do that inevitably,  it doesn’t seem to be yielding any results.
He could see a sign of disappointment on his face.
Kristoff – Then it seems we both need change of plans.
Kristoff then remembered something personal.
Kristoff – And listen, while at it... any news on Bastion?
Nigel – I fear not. The last time he was seen was during that riot several weeks ago when those demons came out of nowhere. Shadows with terrifying eyes of gold...
Kristoff – The heartless were here? Did Bastion fell off that low...
His eye bags are quote visible.
Kai – You seem sleepless...
Ethel – Would you like some hot tea?
Gerda and Olina worked with the maidens to try be useful here...
As for Kristoff, a husband worries for Anna... where was she? Or is she okay? Is their child okay?
And why did feel familiarity with that woman Lilith?... something on her feels off but he couldn’t find what.
Professor – I am sorry to intrude but... who is Bastion? Anything we should know?
Kai and Kristoff exchanged looks.
Kai – Well, there are some things we didn’t tell you yet Lord Weselton- I meant Professor Porter.
Kristoff – Few years ago I found out... To my surprise, like Anna I found I have a brother too.
He found that out the unconventional way, Bastion came to kill him for ransom.
And revenge.
Said that Kristoff betrayed and abandoned him and their parents.
He looked almost exactly like Kristoff, so that’s partially how he found Kristoff.
He survived and so did Anna whom he nearly poisoned.
Kristoff was confused before he confronted the Trolls...
He learned they KNEW his parents... they knew and erased their memory of his existence.
Then he learns their parents turned out to be from Northuldran tribe that escaped from Runeard’s wrath and Arendellian persecution.
When Kristoff learned that... he became shocked and later enraged...
Why didn’t they tell him after all these years?! Why hide this even to this day?!
He was angry at them for a while after that...
He figured though, is it worth being angry forever?... No, he can’t hate them for simply holding their promise to them. It is painful even now, given how it turned out for Bastion...
But he’s no Bastion... he can’t let bitterness have too much influence on his thinking.
He just wished he knew their parents earlier from Pabbie or Bulda... but now they are gone...
Kristoff – Professor, Jane mentioned her mother back in the forest...that  she passed away ...
Professor looks first surprised but then saddened.
Professor – I met her at the science school in London not long after I left my home in Weselton....
Rose of Beaumont... she was the love of his life, the beauty... she grew close to him like no one else could... she could understand animals too, which Jane apparently inherited. Which also inspired his expeditions into the animal world... that led them here...

Professor -... I miss her even now. I wonder how’d she think about how we are now.

Entangled in a political showdown between provinces or nations, definitely not what they’d have in mind.

Kristoff’s hand on his shoulder.

Kristoff – I see, well at least you had time together... Anna and Elsa knew her parents, Rapunzel got a chance with her own... Me? An orphan turned ice harvesters that never knew.
Looks like him and Sven are in that boat together.
Professor – Well, I didn’t meet my family for long time... I send them letters but that’s not the same.
Nigel – Kai may I ask how Weselton is connected here...
Kai – Ah yes, the governing family in Weselton. Professor Porter was the some of Lord Ragnar, the previous Duke.
Nigel – Is that so?... I asked this since we had a visit not long ago by his nephew Lord Wolfgang. Her highness was looking into historical records. You professor shared a striking resemblance.
Professor – Wolfgang was here? It’s good to see he’s still kicking...
Ethel brings hot tea
Professor – Thank you. My throat dried. I’m sorry if I spoke too much.
Ethel – No no, if anything December is a time when families gather in the warmth of their homes.
On that they could all but agree. Some are with their families now celebrating physically,  and some spiritually connected though they wish to be together with others.
Kai would love his brother Karl to be here as well as his highnesses,  who grew to be his surrogate daughters.
Let all be well with any hope.
_________________________________________
I recommend steel-nerved individuals to watch 1985 Come and See, it shows interestingly on some implications here...
Sometimes line between organic spur of moment fun  AND defence mechanism removal from reality becomes blurred to some people... it’s very eerie sometimes too.

note : there was a guy in original draft, Bastion, who befriended Rapunzel instead of Flynn... he looked eerily like Kristoff... So i decided to implement him as lost family member.
