(OOC: Set on February 6th mid-day, closed to Angel)

Anna stared down the long corridor and took in a long deep breath. Ever since the ambush in the woods, the redheaded princess had mostly been confined to the castle to recuperate. The wound was deep and had impaired her walking ability to the point where she needed a stick to lean on. However, Anna decided, today would be the day that that would change.

She was always a terrible patient, impatient to get better right away. It didn't help matters that there was a festival on, as well. It was also the principle of the thing. Anna had spent her whole life cooped up in the castle! They had just opened the gates, all of these interesting new people move in...only for her to be confined inside once more. It was infuriating!

However, it wasn't like Anna didn't understand the matters at hand. Elsa was inconsolable after the night in the woods and it pained Anna to see her sister so upset. If Elsa wanted her to stay close, then Anna would stay close. But that didn't mean that she couldn't try and heal herself as fast as possible.

Anna leaned the stick up against the wall and sucked in a deep breath. This would be her first time trying to walk without it and hopefully she wouldn't make a complete fool of herself. "You can do this," she said under her breath, steadying herself against the wall. "You can do this."

She took one tentative step forward. She wobbled but stood tall. An excited noise lodged itself from her throat and a grin exploded across her features. Her hand grazed the wall as she took another step forward. Another squeal of excitement burst forward. Maybe things were going to be fine after all! Maybe she'd be out among the festival by tomorrow!

Anna stepped forward once again and started to teeter. She tried to grab something to no avail. The next thing the princess knew was that instead of staring at the end of the hall, she was staring up at the ceiling. She let out a very unprincess-like groan. Elation to defeat in a matter of seconds.

She tried to grab her stick to stand but found it was too far away. There wasn't really anything else for her to lean on as well. Anna was stuck and a shiver of panic ran through her. Unless someone was around, she wasn't going to be going anywhere.

"Hello?" Anna called out, glancing around. "Is anybody there? There's a princess stuck on the floor!"

The soft pad of paws on carpet came to the right side of the princess-turn-turtle. Followed by the sight of a furry face with clear blue eyes, her walking stick firmly held within it's mouth, filling her vision. Angel carefully side stepped around Anna, lowering her head to drop the stick on the ground right next to the young woman's hand. Giving the staff a delicate nudge with the tip of her nose so as to place it in Anna's hand before giving a warm smile and a friendly wag of her curly tail.

"Well, that was smooth. Nice attempt, but I think you may have overcooked it just a little,"

The young pom-mix had been on her way to the courtyard for training, her mind preoccupied with thoughts about when she could next meet with Scamp, when she felt more then saw the thud of the princess hitting the floor. Since the attack on the supply wagon, learning proper self-defense had become a objective for all the trainees. Twice a day, before and after lunch, she would find herself with the others doing jumps and twists. Learning nothing she didn't already know. In a way, she almost wished she had the intelligence to have signed up as a working dog like Tramp and Lady had. They seemed to be living a less controlled life.

"Do you need a hand?" The pup asked, before dipping her muzzle down and arching her back to dig her nose into Anna's neck. Just a slight nudge with the bridge of her muzzle to help the young woman at least sit up. Angel was never a touchy-petty kind of dog. However, when required she had no misgivings about lending a paw...or a face, as it were. The process allowed Angel to get a good look at the white lock of hair that crowned the princess of Arendelle's head. It's color and composure matching the streak of white that ran down her hind leg. Before, she had regarded it at just a quirk of the girl's hair color. However, since her talk with the Queen and with The Tramp and Lady, the pomchi had a new perspective on the subject. "I know, it must be pretty confining being stuck in here. A bit of a gilded cage,"

The dog stood back, before twirling around to hop up onto a nearby chair. Her paws making barley a rustle as they skillfully moved in rhythmic arcs first to the seat of the chair, and then to a window ledge. The stone walls of the castle meant that the window ledges where wide and deep, providing the girl's paws plenty of room to stand. While also putting her at head height to a human.

Anna chuckled at Angel's first remark. "Oh yeah, I'm a smooth as they come," Anna replied, lifting herself up to a sitting position with pom's help. She took the stick and sucked in a deep breath before pressing her weight down onto the stick and pulling herself up. She wobbled a bit before reaching her hand out to the wall.

"Oh, you know, it's nothing I've experienced before," she said with a reassuring smile. "Besides, the paintings missed me, so it was nice for us to get reconnected." The redhead's expression softened a bit. "And also Elsa's here to help this time, too."

While her sister was helpful and attentive, there was a definite protective air about it. Elsa was adamant that she not leave the castle without at least two guards, that Anna take frequent breaks, and that there would be a limit to visitors. It was understandable and the redhead was a bit glad of the attention, but it was still stifling all the same.

"I just wish I could go outside a little bit, y'know?" Anna said glancing wistfully out the window. The Rainbow Festival was still on and that was what pained her the most. The first time something exciting happens and she had to be recovering from a Hyena bite. But stil...Angel was here. And Angel helped her up. And she was getting stronger. A small idea took root.

A sly, conspiratorial smile crossed the Princess's lips. "It would be nice if I had a loyal soldier to go out for a walk with me, wouldn't it?" Anna leaned on her stick and rested her head on her hand, making eye contact with the Pom, hoping that Angel would take the bait.

Angel pressed her nose against the glass of the window. With a flick of her muzzle she unlocked the little hook latch that held the window closed. Opening the twin glass panes, each one large enough for a human to pass through, with the nudge of a paw. A soft breeze entered the hallway, fluttering the canine's floppy ears and drawing in the fresh scents of a brisk afternoon. A mix of sea-salt from the harbor and the ever present smells of the festival's foods. Including the wonderful aroma of melting chocolate. She turned to the princess, with an oddly bemused look on her face as Anna posed her idea. She already knew, of course, that she was being set up for a ruse.

"Well," The pom-mix started, knowing exactly what kind of game that was being played before her. It wasn't more then a few days ago that she herself had sneaked out with Fuli to check out the festivities. Her blue eyes met Anna's and she rolled them dramatically. Putting on a falsetto of grandeur as she spoke. "It wouldn't do for the Princess of Arendelle to go unescorted on a walk about town. Especially when there is a trainee who can preform such a duty so available."

The dog hopped down from the window ledge. Landing on the carpeted floor with a soft rustle of fur and the clatter of her collar. Her bushy tail wagging merrily in great arcs behind her. Spinning around, she gave a very exaggerated bow to the princess. "It would be my honor to do so, under one condition..." Her voice became more serous and an eyebrow rose. "If anything happens, it's right back to the castle."

Standing back upright, the pom mix began to prance beside the princess down the hallway. Leading the way in a casual pace in order to compensate for Anna's limp. A warm smile on her pretty face, and a wag to her tail. This was exactly what she needed as well, allowing her to put her reflections on Scamp to the side for a bit as well as the ongoing activity of the war. She slowed down as they approached the main staircase that led to the front vestibule and the gates to the castle courtyard. The canine putting herself in front of the young princess and takeing each step one at a time. Ready to grab hold of Anna should she stumble. She may have been on the lower end of the weight spectrum, but Angel felt pretty assured that she could pin the girl against the banister if she had too.

"Must have been a life, living in these digs," The dog commented as she glanced up at the grand vaulted ceiling with it's carved effigies. She was still getting used to the grand size of everything. "Sure beats living in an alleyway or a junkyard."

Anna's mouth started watering the second the smell of melted chocolate hit her nose. Well it wasn't just the chocolate, it was everything really. While the redhead was sad that she was missing out on the games and the rides, it was really the food that she was sorely upset about. To say she loved her indulgences would be an understatement.

Anna giggled at Angel's phony accent. "Of course not," Anna replied in one just as fake. "And not to mention that I heard that this young trainee was a real up and comer." Her smile faded as Angel became more serious. Anna knew that everyone had her best interests in mind and she knew that they only wanted her to be safe and get well, but she could handle herself. But still, it was nice to have people that cared.

"Deal," Anna said firmly. "I promise that if anything happens, we'll come straight back to the castle." She followed Angel down the hallway, trying to go as fast as she could. When they reached the staircase, Anna went as slow as she could. After all, she wasn't the most graceful princess.

She put her stick on the step in front and then her feet followed after. One after another until she finally reached the bottom. "It was alright," Anna replied, before realizing that her response could come off as haughty or stuck up. "I mean it was more than alright," she added quickly. "It was lonely, really. I know that it may seem great now - and it is - but when I was growing up, Elsa and I didn't really know each other. It was really just me and my parents."

Anna glanced around her home before looking down at the Pom mix. "It's a lot better now. Because we have Sven and Kristoff...and you!" In truth, Anna enjoyed having Angel around. It was nice to have more bodies and life breathed into the musty old castle.

"Now," she said, giving Angel a mischievous smile "Let's go eat as much food as we can!"

The pom-mix seemed to flow down the staircase, agilely coordinating the steps while walking seemingly sideways. Once at the bottom she waited a few seconds for the princess to gain her footing away from the banister before coming in step with Anna. As they crossed the main vestibule towards the great carved oak doors that led to the courtyard, her nails clicked on the hard floor. Once at the front doors, the pom bounced up onto her hind legs, and placed a forepaw on each door just below the handle. She couldn't help but smirk, this was a trick that Buster could never achieve despite his greater size and weight.

“I can imagine. Being alone in such a place such as this,” She turned her head to look over her shoulder as she spoke, before turning to face the door. She gave a light jump of her hind-legs, which pushed the handle up with the tip of her muzzle. At the same time with a small shove of pressure on her forelegs, Angel pushed both doors open. As the doors swung noiselessly on their greased hinges, the dog dropped down to all fours and casually waltzed out into the open sunlight. “Still, better then being out on the streets fending for yourself. Not even having a sister or brother, or mother to help you.”

As they walked across the courtyard and to the bridge, the clouds seemed to part and the sun shone down on them. For the first time in a while, Angel was starting to feel really comfortable with herself. She had smoothed things over with Lady and Tramp, made contact with Scamp, and despite the events of the raid and her scar, she actually felt like things may be going her way. Just once. Due to Anna's slow pace, the dog trotted around her. Almost as if in a slow orbit. First on her left. Then moving over to her right. Always ahead although with the occasional glimpse over her shoulder to make sure that the princess showed no signs of trouble.

"Yet, there is something about freedom and adventure that just stirs you," Angel continued as they walked. "Short life and a merry one. That's what the Tramp used to say."

It was only a short walk across the great bridge that led to the festival proper. When they came nearer to the end Angel rose her nose into the air and took a deep inhalation. Her sharp senses of smell taking in all the wonderful aromas. Unlike when she was with Fuli, Anna's restrictions really kept her from being able to partake in any of the physical activates of the festival. But that didn't mean she couldn't try and eat half her body weight in food. Her curly tail wagged in anticipation.

"So," A wave of a for-paw gesturing to the conviviality was joined by an exuberant smile and sharp blue eyes. "Where too? Princess."

Anna followed slightly behind Angel to the metronome of the walking stick hitting the floor. The most irritating part of it was having to lag slightly behind. If Anna had full control, she would be well ahead sprinting towards the world that waited outside. Anna let out a delighted laugh at Angel opening the door. "That's amazing!" Anna said brightly, following the pom-mix out the door.

The smile faded at Angel's mention of her childhood. Anna was uncharacteristically quiet for a moment. In a strange way, her companion reminded the princess of her beloved Kristoff. The redhead made a mental note to introduce them later. "A short life and a merry one, huh?" Anna said, turning the phrase over in her mind. There was something endearing about it, something sweet and innocent. Something she saw herself in.

Blue eyes gazed upon even bluer water as they crossed over the main bridge. It was as if the day itself knew to be accommodating to Anna's predicament. It was nice to know that the weather could be sympathetic. Excitement welled up as they got closer and closer. It was a shame that the festival was almost done and it was the first day that Anna herself could participate.

At least she could make up for lost time.

"Okay," Anna said excitedly. "First to the chocolate stand. We'll get as much as we can. Next, cheese, especially if it's melted over something. After that, sandwich time." She grinned down at Angel. "Sound like a plan?"

The small dog gave a soft bark, and a pleased hop in response to the Princess' plans. Kicking out her hind legs in the air behind her as she landed, her curly tail wagging affectionately. She remained by Anna's side as the approached the crowds that filled the square in great pockets of conversation and activity. The dog trotting at the injured girl's pace, being careful to give Anna plenty of space to operate her crutch. The easy suited her just fine, as her head craned, blue eyes dancing to take in the sights and sounds of the festivities.

It was like Independence Day and Christmas all rolled up into one. The decorations, sights, and outdoor revelry of one, and the chill and yearly dampness of the other. Angel found her paws splashing through piles of brightly colored paper confetti. Some of which landed on her back or stuck to the bushy fur of her tail. Streamers stretched from building to building and swayed in the wind. She had learned her lesson when she had come down here with Fuli, and she took great care to keep out from underfoot and wheel of the many carts.

"What a party," The dog commented as she looked up at Anna. Her ears pinning back for a split second as the sound of someone sounding off on a kazoo joined the cacophony of revelry. "You wouldn't know there was a war going on by all of this."

Nearby the clock-town clanged out the time in a great chorale of bells. A balance of sound, from the big bells as loud as the thunder, to the small ones as soft as a song. As the last of the bells rang out, the royal association approached a lavish chocolate stall. Stepping under the shade of a canvas tent covering, spread before them was a great "U" shape of tables and displays. The purple and green shrouded table top covered end to end with chocolate confectioneries and treats. From detailed statues depicting figures from Arendelle's history (Including, rather shuddersome to the pom-mix, a chocolate figure of Elsa) to chocolate coins and stars. White, dark, mix...and all topped off by a giant chocolate fountain set up right in the center.

A tall bench surrounded the whole ensemble. Allowing Angel to jump up and walk across it's surface. Her head and shoulders even with the table top. The duel licenses that hung from her pink collar, one her home address in Marceline, the other baring the emblem of the Suns, jingled and clinked as she walked. She reached over the plates of dipping sticks with their marshmallows and rice crispy treats stuck on the ends, and grabbed the end of a skewer in her mouth. Angel then pranced over to the fountain, wearing a triumphant smile on her pretty face, mouth full of skewer as she dipped the marshmallow end into the fountain. After getting it fully coated with wonderful melted chocolate, the dog turned her head and handed the skew to the impaired Princess. Making it so that Anna didn't have to let go of her crutch.

"I think I'll leave this sampling to you Princess," She playfully rolled her eyes. "Chocolate and I, don't get along. It's sort of a dog thing."

Angel sat down on her haunches and let her bushy tail flick back and forth atop the bench happily. A warm fiddle tune that she recognized as "The Devil Went Down to Doolin," a gaelic strings piece that had been played in Marceline around the 4th of July, resonated through the stalls from outside.

"So, your sister. Does she lock herself away often?" One of the blonde pom's ears perked and she tilted her head slightly. "I keep seeing her in her quarters, alone. She isn't unwelcoming or anything. Just seems very lonesome."

As Anna made her way towards the square, her bright blue eyes light up with excitement. A grin made its way to her face as she drank in every detail. The lights, the color, the people. It was overwhelming and beautiful and otherworldly. She had never seen her kingdom, her Arendelle look so wonderful.

"Come on!" Anna squealed, hobbling as fast as she could towards the refreshments. The chocolate work was exquisite and they did a great job with the chocolate likeness of her sister. Anna made a mental note to make sure Elsa was well aware of it. It was overwhelming and amazing and it was quickly shaping up to be one of the best days of the young princess's life. Not to mention the fact that she was ready to lug the chocolate fountain home herself.

The redhead glanced down at Angel, who already made her a plate. Anna happily took it from the Pom Mix. "Thank you," Anna said with a small bow. She then promptly started on the chocolate covered marshmallows. Her mouth was full and there was chocolate on her face, but Anna didn't care. She was in heaven.

"Oh Elsa?" Anna said, her mouth full of chocolate and marshmallow. "She doesn't really, not anymore at least." The princess swallowed. "She did a lot when we were little. But you know Elsa, she needs some...space sometimes, you know."

Anna knew deep down, it wasn't just that. It was the loss of the supplies and the fact that Anna got hurt. The princess knew how protective her sister was. Anna put the plate on the table and leaned down closer to Angel, partially so the dog could hear her better over the music. "Elsa cares about things really deeply. Arendelle, the Suns, and me, they're all things she really holds dear to her heart. It's the best thing about her! But when those things get jeopardized or if something doesn't go to plan, she can be really hard on herself." Anna gave Angel a small reassuring smile.

"Have you been visiting her? Is that why you're asking?" there was nothing but joy and excitement in Anna's question. If there was someone besides her, someone else who cared, that was the best thing she could ask for. Anna knew her sister and cared about her more than anyone else in the world. Well, maybe as much as Kristoff. But still, it didn't take a genius to know that Elsa was feeling a bit down lately. It made Anna happy that there was another creature who had been with them that crazy night who also wanted to see Elsa happy. The redhead thought that they might just have to keep this dog.

    Angel reached a paw up and flicked at the end of a skewer that was sticking out over the edge of the table. This catapulted the rice-crispy end into space with a sharp 'ba-wong', for her to expertly catch it with a snap of her jaws right out of midair. The empty skewer hitting the bench in front of her where she pinned it down with her paw. With her furry cheeks bulging with warm and delightful treat, the pom nodded her head. Swallowing hard before speaking.

    "I've been visiting her as often as I can," A light pink tongue lapped at her lips, cleaning them of any scraps of treat left over. "I know it's not my job, or anything. But, well, I feel like I owe it to her. Just to talk and listen. That whole mishap with the supply wagon really took a toll on all of us."

    The pomeranian licked at her forpaw for a second, wetting the fur before rubbing it against the side of her muzzle. Glancing back up at the table, her blue eyes spotted the stack of marshmallows. However, she refrained from plowing into them. Both out of courtesy for the stall owner, and because they had plenty more canine friendly food to enjoy. That is if Anna didn't drown herself in the fountain. The dog had to wonder why they did not have such a device in the castle itself. Perhaps it was not so much the expense as it was to keep the princess from gaining an obscene number of pounds due to her sweet tooth.

    "I was actually thinking about asking her if she would take me as her apprentice," That curly tail shivered. “If nothing else it would get me out of a lot of the trainee shenanigans,”

    While she commented on the idea as if it was a passing fancy, the truth was that Angel had been thinking a lot about what she could do to both help the queen, as well as Arendelle and the Suns. There was also the added benefit of living in the castle and being free to slip away when ever she desired to perhaps see Scamp in seclusion. Being forced to be away from her Tenderfoot when he was so close by was a personal challenge. Her own goals aside, Angel truly did care about the queen, and the sparkle of adoration was clear in those cobalt eyes as she spoke on the idea.

    The dog hopped down from the bench in a clatter of jingles from her collar. She motioned with her head back outside the stall. Her nose picking up the scent of warm food. Donuts perhaps? Maybe cheese sticks? It was worth investigating. With her ears perked forward, Angel gave a playful bark. "So, Princess. Where too next?"

Anna nodded along to what Angel was saying as she engorged more of the treats. The supply wagon incident was probably the most harrowing experience she'd had - after the wolves of course. But still, when she and Kristoff went to go get Elsa, there wasn't that much danger to it. Sure she nearly died but at no point did the entire thing feel hopeless. At no point did she face something that had hatred radiating out of it.

The Thorns were really something else in comparison for Hans. An underhanded prince could be fought with systems and punches, but hyenas and lions were other things entirely. Anna didn't blame Elsa for retreating back to what she knew best, but having a friend would help.

I was actually thinking about asking her if she would take me as her apprentice

At this moment, Anna snapped up to meet Angel, blue eyes on blue. Her eyes widened with excitement and she let out a gasp that turned into an excited squeal. A sense of joy and warmth flushed over the princess. "That's a great idea!" Anna exclaimed. "And you could come live with us in the castle! I mean, even if you didn't become Elsa's apprentice, you would be free to come and live there anyway."

The redhead's gaze softened for a moment as she looked at the pom mix. "You've really done a lot, and Elsa really appreciates it. I mean, you've done a lot for both of us." The princess brightened as Angel asked where to go next.

Anna thought for a moment as there was a lot for her to consider. There was the prospect of finding more food, but there was only so much to try and she was starting to get full. There was shopping, which intrigued her, but not enough to really see what they had. Then there was the soundtrack to it all, what was scoring the entire event.

the musicians

Anna stood up suddenly, gripping her stick. "Let's go listen to the music!" she said, starting to hobble towards them. If she could, she would've been dancing, but for right now it was nice just to be there with her friend. And who knew? Angel had proven that she had some moves of her own.

Angel perked her ears instantly and her tail was sent into a cheerful flutter at Anna's reaction to her proposal. The ends of her mouth digging into her cheeks just under each of those bright blue eyes.

"Thanks," It was a simple single word, but her tone was full of lift and appreciation. One ear falling forward to cast across the side of her face. While she was never one to openly hunt for validation, indeed she always seemed to feel undeserving of such, the princess's words filled the little dog with a since of hope and fulfillment. Comparable only to the rise of emotion that she got from the company of her own scruffy gray Tenderfoot. She wasn't expecting such a vigorous and accepting response. If Elsa was only half as accepting as your younger sister, then she would have no trouble at all securing her spot.

Hopping down from the bench, the pom-mix trotted alongside the crippled young woman. Taking a point before her, practically bouncing on each step. While she may have appeared as just a friendly canine companion, there was a method to Angel's moves. Keeping in step ahead of Anna, the little dog worked to clear the path of any obstructions, both living and otherwise, that could otherwise trip or further hinder her charge. The music filled the air! The pleasing chirp of fiddle, Melodeon, and tin flute reverberating through Angel's body and causing her to sway in march as she trotted.

The band was playing at a clearing in the street, a crowd of people, animals, and the like all enclosing the clearing in a circle, joining in the melody with a resonance of clapping, cheering, and pure joy. When Anna and Angel reached the edge of the circle, the little dog felt herself get swept away! For a few seconds they stood on the outside as a couple danced before them, Angel bobbing her shoulders and head in tune with the melody. She looked up at the Princess with a mischievous, yet well meaning smile, and with a triumphant whip of her head, declared; "Watch this!"

With a chipper bark she jumped into the center of the 'stage' on a low beat. Head held high and an exultant smile on her pretty face, Angel began to twist and hop in a canine freestyle. Her paws seemingly brushing the ground and she rolled her shoulders and back to the tune. She swung her hips, head, and shoulders as she pranced in swaying circle. Her curly tail sashaying in a smooth flutter like a banner of her stern of a ship. She was graceful, if not vibrant in her dance. Her agility gained from her experiences on the street on full display as she twisted and bowled in a visual display that matched the giddy beat of the fiddle.

"Haha! Now, this, is living!" She called out to Anna. Triangular ears and fluffy bang whipping all across her face. The show was as much for the princess as it was for the dog or those gathered as her audience.

"It's a good look for you,... The garbage adds some class."

Anna hobbled slowly behind Angel, her heart filling with gratitude and joy. Being outside among her kingdom was the perfect remedy for the loneliness she had been feeling while shut in the castle. The colors and the sounds and the smells felt exotic and familiar all at once. The redhead stood near the edge of the circle and watched as her new companion made her way into the center.

Anna clapped along as much as she could and swayed slightly to the music. If she could walk and stand properly, there was no doubt that she would be in the center right along with Angel. Although, the pom-mix was probably more on beat than the Princess of Arendelle could ever hope to be. And surely, Anna knew that she might accidentally take down a person or two with her.

"Bravo!" Anna called out as she watched Angel jump and twist and turn. The canine was quite the gifted dancer. The remedy of joy and light, Anna was convinced, was just as much for Angel as it was for her. The two of them had been through more than anyone could imagine and it was therapeutic feeling their worries leave them behind.

If only Elsa could've been there to see it.

The first song turned into a second one and Anna could feel herself getting carried away a bit. Not that it was a bad thing, but the princess could feel herself getting a bit bolder and bolder as it war on. Suffice it to say that the swaying became something more of a small dance within itself. If she had been the tiniest bit more graceful, than maybe it would've been alright. But Anna either struck her stick wrong or got a bit too carried away, but suddenly and quickly she felt her stick slide out from under her and watched as the cobblestone street got closer and closer to her body.

Anna fell for the second time that day.

In the palace, it was alright. The hallways were empty and there were lots of things to take hold too or servants to help her up. Here, it was a totally different experience. Anna lost sight of Angel within the confines of legs and feet. There were lots of people walking around, moving and dancing, making the experience that much more terrifying.

"ANGEL!" Anna cried out trying to maneuver her stick to stand up. "ANGEL HELP!" She dodged oncoming people, trying to find herself a clearing to take cover.

Angel twirled seamlessly from her dance into a deep leap into the crowd. Her pretty face having gone from an expression of joy to one of determination at the drop of a pin when she saw the princess vanish from sight among the dense gathering. The dog started barking, not quite the deep and commanding bark of say, the Tramp. Yet also not the yap of a newborn. Light gold paws seemingly glancing on the flagstone, she dove in-between the sea of legs. Her head held in line with her body and her ears pinned back. The music continued, as the band clearly though the dog's antics where just a part of her dance, as opposed to a sudden emergency.

"Make way!" Angel shouted, practically bouncing off bystander's legs. The one time street dog was surefooted enough to keep her balance. She practically flowed between through whatever gap she could spy. Scurrying over, under, and for one poor female with a great green skirt, through the forest of legs as she ran to Anna's side. Once at the princess, the dog did a great circle around her, barking and yapping to push back the crowd and give the fallen princess some space. Her voice, strong and decisive, competing with the fiddle for the crowd's attention. Thankfully, the sight of the blonde dog bouncing and pushing had it's effect, and with a few gasps of surprise Angel cleared a small radius around her injured compatriot.

"Come on, she's your princess!" Angel barked at the crowd. "If you can't help her upright, at least give her space to breath!"

She ended her circle with a squirm alongside Anna, dropping her head so as to slip it underneath one of the young woman's arms. Her triangular ears flopping forward as she gave a great lift with her back. She couldn't pull Anna to her feet on her own, nor did the young dog intend to. Instead, she was giving the girl something firm to lean on and help pull herself into a sitting position.

"Anna, are you okay?" Angel's voice, while calm, was riddled with concern. Calling her friend by his first name, the title of princess lost for the moment. Her blue eyes darting between Anna's face and the crowd around them. "Hold on, let's get you sitting up."

The music was continuing, and those not in the immediate vicinity still had yet to realize that their own princess was laying prone on the ground before them. From her position under Anna's arm, she dropped her muzzle and slipped her nose under the princess's neck, to help her roll into a sitting position. Once she had Anna sitting up, the dog held herself under the freckle faced girl's arm. Ready to assist her in standing upright. A kick of a blue streaked hind leg pulled the wooden crutch back into reach.

"Take your time, don't be afraid to put some weight on me," A sharp smile lifted the dog's mouth in compassion. "I can take it, I promise."

The legs and feet quickly moved out of the way as the redhead ducked and dodged them. Hearing Angel's bark sent a thrill of relief to the princess. "It's alright Angel. It's alright," Anna said reassuringly, as the blonde dog appeared next to her. "They didn't know. It was my fault really."

The freckled girl was able to sit up with the dog's help, feeling better that she could actually see around her. There was a crowd forming now, concerned faces of citizens seeing their princess on the ground in pain. It wasn't good, really and it was definitely not a morale booster to see their leader in a vulnerable position like that. Someone much more concerned with image and status would've been horrified but Anna, concerned with neither, saw it as a way to get an insight onto how to help them when she was able to configure herself in a better position.

She leaned on Angel and gripped a nearby chair someone had brought over, steadying herself in a standing up position before slinking back down into the chair. Admittedly, she felt tired now, all off the strength she had built up over the past few weeks zapped from her body.

"I'm okay everyone! I'm alright!" Anna said, hopefully making sure the citizens felt better. There were a few nods and reassuring smiles and kind words before the band struck up again and the crowd tapered off. Anna was grateful for this as she was able to be alone with Angel now.

"Thank you," Anna said to Angel, her bright eyes brimming with gratitude. "I don't think I would've been able to survive that on my own." She gave the golden dog a pet. "You know, I think you deserve a treat after that. Is there anything that I can get you? Is there anything I can do?"
