Ah, well I certainly don't have your voice but - it was such a lovely song, how could I forget it?

[he can and he did]

I could give it a try, if you'd like... though it may not be the best performance. I may need to teach it to Alex for that.

[showyourself]

[elsa looks like she's been struck with a shovel.]

I don't... recognize it. It...

[it's incredible. there's no stirring of her heart. there's nothing. it has the same effect as hearing a microwave buzz. it's nothing to her. nothing at all.

and at the end of it, she can't even remember what it sounded like.]

[recrowns]

[ . . . he reaches for her hand again, taking it between both of hers]

... it'll be returned to you, by the end of all this.

I'll take care of it until then, if you don't mind entrusting it to me.

[showyourself]

But I...

[no, there's... really nothing she can do about this. it's frustrating, incredibly so—but there's no choice.

she nods, chin dropping, as she stares at her lap.]

Okay. Thank you, Won.

[recrowns]

.... it's not your fault for forgetting, Elsa.

In case... you're feeling guilty.

[though that is

admittedly just his guess]

[showyourself]

I know. [...] Thank you. It's...

...It's hard to keep it in mind when I feel like I'm losing mine. If that's how it's all affected, I really do wonder if any of my note taking will make a difference...

[ahhhh. well.]

You said Alex sings?

[recrowns]

.... you can give it your best attempt, and see where it leads you. It's alright. You can only determine something to be fruitless after you've tried.

[and he offers her a gentle smile]

But I did - her voice is quite lovely.

[showyourself]

[it's a fair point. but.]

I didn't realize. She's... [tall] ...certainly full of surprises. [in a good way? probably.] I should speak with her.

[recrowns]

You should.

[he nods along with that]

She's very kind. Perhaps you two can compose a new song together.

[showyourself]

Compose? Oh, I'm... I don't know about that. I'm more of a... on-the-fly kind of girl.

[she smiles at Soo-Won, expression thoughtful.]

Your voice is good, too. Don't undersell yourself.

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of a laugh at that]

You're too kind - I'm rather well aware that I'm meant for a merchant's duties rather than a bard.

But I appreciate the sentiment.

[showyourself]

Oh, please. You and your mercantilism. [she gives his arm another little push.] You hold yourself with confidence, and I know you could be whatever you dreamed of.

[it's sincere!!]

But as long as you like what you're doing...
