Elsa's approach, up until now, has been informed by the following:
- There's a high level of weirdness on this ship already. Plenty of people can do plenty of strange things and aren't bothering to hide it. Her ice powers, most likely, will not be the thing that turns the whole ship against her. - Having repressed her powers for a very long time, Elsa would really rather not go back to that, not if she doesn't have to to live. - But she does not want to attract attention, over her powers or anything else.
So, she's kept them low-key, until now. Adora comes up, and is very enthusiastic and very loud, and Elsa gasps in surprise. Her heart rate spikes, and so does the ice around her cup -- little jagged edges make a ring around the waxy paper rim. It takes her a moment to get over her startlement enough to process what Adora is actually saying.
"Yes," she says, recovering her composure with another deep breath. "Yes, they are. I've always had them, ever since I was born." Then, the rest of Adora's sentence sinks in. "Wait, did you say you know someone else who can do this?"
