I froze to death, while the ship stopped in port. [And - perhaps understandably - she doesn't look too happy about it.

She's not in the infirmary anymore though. She'd stayed until the residual cold was bearable, and had waited until she felt completely back to normal before trying to address the Barge and ask the questions she's been sitting on since she wound up in the infirmary.]

How often does that happen? Why didn't anyone tell me that could happen?

[She's trying to hold it together, present herself as the calm, cool and collected future queen she's been trying to be for the last three years, but people can probably see the cracks in her veneer because this is all just... beyond crazy.]

[Private to Arthas]

You tried to save me. [She remembers that much, even though parts of the end are a little blurry.

And she wants to know why. :|]

At the time? Because I could.

Would you do it again?

If the alternative was worse.

Why are you here?

[Bitter:] I ask myself that all the time.

That's not really an answer.

I'm here because someone wants me to have a second chance, whether I deserve it or not.

I see.

Is that what you were asking?

No. And you know it wasn't.

No I don't. What were you asking?

What you did to deserve being trapped here.

Oh.

I brought down four countries, including my own. I killed everyone I could, and raised the dead into soldiers and slaves.

Why?

Because no one could stop me.

[She literally doesn't know what to say to that. Why is she here, trapped with genuine monsters, when all she'd wanted to do was be left alone?]

That isn't a reason.

I know.

[She visibly straightens, fixes up the mask of having everything in control a little.]

Well, thank you for trying to help me. I do appreciate it. [Even if she is still judging the fuck out of what he did before coming here, sorry Arthas. B(]

It's fine.
