sleightofhans: (this is)

[Hans straightens himself as Susato continues speaking, eventually reaching the question that he's been well-prepared for. Well, at least the question he's been expecting since the dream ended. It's what he would've asked if he died in such a manner in someone's dream. As such, he takes on a sympathetic expression, his hands clasped in front of him.]

It's the least I can do... what would you like to know first? A lot happened there.
sleightofhans: (yo loser)

[The same pleasant expression remains on Hans' face, although there's a flicker of something that passes through, but it doesn't last long. The only thing that's changed is the slight decrease in temperature, but it's not too cold just yet.]

It's not naïve at all, as the ice queen still lives and rules over Arendelle with her sister. Both of them are in perfect health.

[He looks like he's telling the truth, but he always seems sincere.] I'm merely a prince from the Southern Islands.
sleightofhans: (please listen)

[He notices the slight chill that's crept on her and normally he'd offer her his jacket, but perhaps that can wait until a little later, especially as her next comments give him pause. Ah, so it's come to this, not that he's surprised. Still, it takes the prince a moment, as if trying to decide how to phrase his next words.]

...She didn't.

[If he really wanted to, he can probably make some elaborate lie about all this. About why he knows what he does, but he's slowly working on the honesty thing. And the guilt bit. Maybe he's not fully there yet, but Hans is trying now.]

The ice consumed her, but luckily for her, it soon melted after the curse was broken. It's why she's alive and well.

sleightofhans: (isn't that cute)

[He knows where this conversation is going. It's possible that he can get himself out of it still, make an elaborate lie to free himself of this crime, but Hans finds himself having little interest in doing so. He can't wholly explain it, even if Susato ends up punching him or telling others about what he's really like.

Maybe people should know, although Hans isn't racing to tell everyone what he's done either.]


Yes, Princess Anna performed an 'act of true love' towards her sister... by saving her life at the cost of her own.

[It sounds a little confusing, but Hans isn't lying. He smiles at Susato.] Quite noble of her, wouldn't you agree?
sleightofhans: (a choice)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-10-23 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hans lets out a sigh, almost hoping that she'd figure it out, but he knows that he's been almost cryptic about all this. The prince drops all proper formality and looks at her with a serious expression, his face nearly cold. He still isn't quite sure if guilt is something he feels about all this, maybe he never will, despite having some second thoughts about becoming a king.]

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to speak so plainly about it, Susato.

[Maybe he can dance around the truth for just a little longer, but why prolong the inevitable?]

She turned to ice in front of her sister, just as I was about to kill her.
sleightofhans: (maybe)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-10-25 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you wouldn't think I'd try and murder people for fun. I'm not that heartless, I'd hope.

[If there are ways to make this conversation go down better, this isn't one of them, especially since he's talking about a rather serious matter with a rather blasé attitude. However, he eventually sobers up, but who knows how much guilt he actually feels about this.]

The crown was the only goal that's ever mattered to me.
sleightofhans: (i hear you)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-10-28 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He wonders if his answer really matters, would she forgive him if his reason was more 'understanding?' Maybe? He can't predict that. However, he doesn't intend to lie now of all times.]

I'm a prince, raised to be a king since I was young, but everyone knew that I wouldn't ever get that chance normally. So, I thought I'd make my own path to succession, even if it wasn't my own kingdom.

[It's as simple as that, without getting too much into the details. Hans tits his head at her, almost as if he's gauging her reaction, but it's mostly for show.]

Or did you want to hear a different answer, Susato? To make you feel less betrayed by my comments?
sleightofhans: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-10-29 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, but I've changed for the better--

[Hans cuts himself short, however, his placid smile disappearing before this charade goes any further. He won't insult her by doing that and it's not worth that effort.]

...Would you believe me if I said I've tried feeling regret for what happened? But the most I can manifest is regretting that I didn't succeed. [Hans doesn't look especially proud by that admission, a small exhale leaving him as he draws his eyes elsewhere.]

Or sometimes I think about how I could've chosen a different goal. Living life here, where it's been mundane, hasn't been terrible.
sleightofhans: (that's fine)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-10-31 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[On one hand, Susato hasn't gotten too upset with him. Oh, she's definitely not pleased, but her reaction could've been far worse. Guess he'll keep going then, it's not often he can speak so honestly.]

Who knows? Maybe I would've taken a ship to a faraway country, living a life entirely separate from what my family wanted of me.

[Maybe it'd be a 'screw you' to them, but it's just as likely that they wouldn't care. Be relieved, even. Why give them that satisfaction?]

But maybe I'd regret it within a few days, and that I really should've tried again to find a kingdom to take over. Except with far less mistakes on my end.
sleightofhans: (and then you stab them)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-11-01 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[........]

Are you wondering if I was executed for my crimes, Lady Susato?

[Hans nearly stares straight at her, waiting and wanting to see her reaction to this possible piece of information. Many would probably think he'd deserve it, but he wants to know what she thinks.]
sleightofhans: (and then you stab them)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-11-02 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a boring answer, one that doesn't feel like a complete reaction to his crimes. Hans lets out a small sigh, his eyes closing just briefly, before he gives Susato an encouraging if sharp smile, like he's egging her on to say something in particular.]

I apologize, maybe I should've worded my question slightly different. Do you hope that I was executed?
sleightofhans: (i hear you)

[personal profile] sleightofhans 2022-11-05 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hans makes a show out of slowly blinking, before placing a single hand against his chest, as if surprised by her comments. Okay, maybe he's a little shocked, but he's definitely exaggerating a bit.]

Nothing of that sort. I'd never assume you hold such demons within you. [Unless she wants to confess something now--] I just want to hear your honest opinion.
