      “I’m fine —”

           she doesn’t say anything else,
           her words curt against his. But
           she doesn’t remove the hat, either.
           instead Elsa folds her arms over
           her chest, watching him carefully.

        “You don’t look fine,”
          he replied, moving
          over to feed sven
          a carrot. he reached
          into his pouch and
          pulled out the orange
          treat, giving him a pat
          after he finished.

                                “–you sure you’re alright?”
