CF: A Dream in a Hellish NIghtmare<br><br>There was another Frost at the institute, another potential connection. Yes, it would have been more prudent to make direct inquiries with Emma Frost but as much as some of them (Esme in particular) would bitterly deny it all of their hearts were filled with fear, terror of rejection, a concern that Sebastian Shaw had been correct and Emma Frost would not care one iota about them regardless of whether they were linked by blood or something else.<br><br>The girls knew essentially nothing about Christian Frost aside from the fact that he was Emma Frost’s brother. There were no absurd expectations. They did not even believe he would necessarily be aware of any connection between the sisters and Emma Frost since by all appearances Emma Frost was estranged from her family.<br><br>Celeste, unsurprisingly, the most timid and affectionate of sisters, was the one to push for a proper meeting, introductions. She was supported by both Phoebe and Mindee. Phoebe would like more friends (as they currently had done) and familial connections (which they lacked outside of each other). Mindee, typically the last to make a firm decision, lost in her own little world, had astonished them all with her quick opinion. (She would like to play the piano for one who might be of significance to them.)<br><br>Sophie and Esme were not resistant to the notion of an interaction. They just nursed fewer hopes than their sisters.<br><br>Christian Frost’s brainwaves were simple to pinpoint. They found him in the garden without issue, five footsteps in perfect synchronization, so silent as to mirror stillness. Their attire varied as much as their expressions, Celest’s smile being the brightest and most optimistic, heartfelt, Esme’s being the most cold and apathetic, Mindee’s being the most dreamlike and aloof, Sophie’s being the most magnanimous and charismatic, and Phoebe’s being the softest and sweetest.<br><br><b>“Greetings, Christian Frost. Typically we would ask you to pardon the intrusion but it does not appear as though it is your desire to remain isolated. We have come to welcome you in earnest and if you would permit it we would have a private conversation with you. There is much we would like to discuss. However, we are aware that you are new and would perhaps prefer sunshine and rest. Let us know what is acceptable,”</b> they spoke in unison.<br><br>
