It wasn't perfect, but he did call it a juggling trick.
You should have seen him when a prestigious merchant visited. He tried to entertain by reenacting one of our adventures and wound up setting the table on fire.
[She sighs out the rest of her laughter.] I think he overcompensates his confidence, but he tries very hard to impress.
[Anna takes a moment to picture it, and it's very sweet.]
That's great. Kristoff tries very hard to blend into the castle life and follow etiquette, but it's easy to tell he's uncomfortable. He'd much rather just be himself, and I keep telling him he can be, but... Well. He just needs to find a good middle ground, I think.
[She nods, sending a silent bout of sympathy Kristoff's way.]
Give him time; he just needs to find his own way of handling things. When my father taught Aladdin how to be a diplomat, he was very nervous and made many mistakes. But he learned to trust instinct and take advantage of his own strengths, and after two years, I think he finally feels comfortable enough.
Speaking of comfort, let's go to my place. It's a little crowded, but I don't think you'll mind the company.
[Anna nods her head at the way Jasmine describes her own fiance's progress. She hopes it'll be the same for Kristoff soon... But the offer to head to Jasmine's house wipes all thoughts of Kristoff from her mind for now. She has to focus on the situation she's in right now, not what's going on back home.]
Oh! You're right, I'd love some company, if you really don't mind! Lead the way.
