I suppose it depends on which characteristics one is looking at in a person, it's very possible for someone to be incredibly mature in some fields and be like a little child in others. I will confess that I personally love playing, though my hobbies aren't always the type to cause trouble, but I know when I can limit myself to games and when I must be a responsible adult.
[Which is something he probably can understand as well. One can be a b it reckless and youthful while treasure hunting, but that attitude won't always be beneficial when striking business deals. Right now, he could very well jump out of the ship at any moment to chase after a treasure, no explanations or excuses given, no need to make arrangements for his absence. But back home? As rich as he could be, it wouldn't be wise to do the same with such abandon. A man that doesn't present to a meeting because he's chasing after a legendary treasure wouldn't cause a good impression, even if said treasure may serve to cover for the loses caused by such a ruined occasion.
Elsa laughs softly at his questions regarding her sister.]
Of course I care for her a lot, she's my little sister. She's the most precious thing I have and the only thing I really want to protect.
[She would do anything for Anna. Really. Even condemning herself to a life of solitude by tearing herself apart from her. It hurt Anna, she knows it, how could she not? All those years that Anna spent knocking at her door, day after day, begging her to come out and be with her. Oh, how had she wanted to open wide that door and hug her, go and make a thousand of snowmen with her. But she couldn't. She had hurt Anna once, she couldn't do that again, couldn't take the risk until she was able to control her powers. But she never was able to and, in the end, she slipped and caused a bigger mess than she would have ever wanted. She can just hope that being the sister of a monster won't trouble Anna too much, and that she now knows why Elsa shut her out, even if she never comes to forgive her.]
I don't think she ever grew out of that, though she's not as accident prone as it may have sounded, really. She's just reckless, and I guess she can get distracted easily. She... Does have a lot of fantasies in her head, a lot of dreams, which would be good if she didn't mistake them with reality so much.
["True love". A stranger she just met and with whom she fell in true love right away. It's true that Elsa knows nothing about love either, but she knows about the real world, and such a thing belongs to fairy tales, not to reality. She just hopes that Hans is just as dream-crazy as Anna was, and that it was because of that why he had asked for her hand, rather than for any hidden motives.
When Mcduck says that Anna would be welcome abroad it makes Elsa smile, even though it also causes her some inner turmoil. Because if Anna appeared in this world, she doesn't know what she would say to her. Or do. And she doubts to begin with that Anna would want to be in the same ship as her after everything. Years of living under Elsa's shadow, suffering a cruel punishment that was meant for Elsa and not her. No, Anna would prefer to be free, away from Elsa.]
Thank you, Mister Mcduck, though I really hope she won't be brought here. As you said, there are many opportunities for her to end hurt, the sea is a dangerous place as well. She's better back home, where she's safe. At least I hope so.
