The Path To Forgiveness(Grimhilde)

[Snow White]

(OCC: May 19th, morning. I couldn't resist I felt this was a needed thread)

Snow was humming to herself as she started to make pies. She was settled quite well into Roses' residence. If anything she was the one of the few people that had main residency here. But she knew that eventually she would have to help out at nostalgia critic's house from time to time. She knew that moment would come. But for now she settled in here, making food for everyone, especially the children. She was fifteen herself but she felt like a adult pretty much already. After all she had to be her own parent for some time. But it seemed grimhilde was insistent that people help her, as there were some that came by to check on her. Snow couldn't help but be suspicious of that. What was grimhilde's gain in all of this? Why the sudden change? Why was she being so willing to be kind to her now?

Snow was kind of glad she was nicer but at the same time it left her to wonder. She had agreed to be more open to seeing grimhilde from now on but she was still nervous. Grumpy's words rang through her mind a lot "She's an old witch, I'm warning ya. That queen can't be trusted" And snow couldn't help but wonder what would he do, heck what would any of the dwarves do? She then sighed to herself. Feeling that even though she had been mean, it was clear the effort was being made. Snow felt no reason to not give her a chance. So whenever grimhilde decided to drop by snow would be corgial and even friendly. She could only hope that today would be that day as she was in a good mood and cooking. Maybe grimhilde would help. She hummed to herself "Cooking a good piece of nice pie is good for everyone, doo doo doo"

[Queen Grimhilde]

Grimhilde made her way to Roses house wanting a break from her potion making. And thought she'd check it on her stepdaughter. Their last meeting hadn't gone too well. She had been surprised by how angry she was and was probably the first time she'd seen Snow White angry that she could remember. She still felt guilty she'd let her vanity and pride pratically consume her and it had nearly killed them both. If it wasn't for the prince and this war they'd both be gone. She openeed the front door and could smell pies baking. She smiled as she walked in.

"Baking again? I think I'd like to try your cooking." said Grimhilde.

She paused walking closer to her.

"I fear I may have done too much but I hope one day we could be good friends even if we never get to be the family we should have been." said Grimhilde.

[Snow White]

Snow looked up as her stepmother came to her. She couldn't help but smile as grimhilde offered to try her cooking. Snow nodded with a soft smile "I think I would be delighted if you try. It's cherry pies. Once it's done, I'll let you have a piece" She then checked the clock of the oven. It was hard for her at first to use the oven but now that she's done it so many times, it became quite natural for her. After all she liked to cook, genuinely liked to cook. She then realized the last visit they had she was quite angry. She felt a bit guilty for that and could see her stepmother genuinely trying. She didn't know what to do. Other than try her best to be kind and see what would happen.

So with another apologetic smile she replied "Honestly. I really wish to be friends too. I apologize for getting so angry when we last spoke. It was just.. of before" She blushed at that, the memories of eating that poison apple and all the bad memories of grimhilde hurting her. She gave a assuring look as she continued to speak "I really can see that you've changed. It's just... well, you see. It's just of the attempts to hurt me" She sighed looking down, feeling her face go crimson with embarrassment "I really do forgive you. It's just I am scared I might anger you again and we'll go back to that scary time where we were enemies. I never wanted to be your enemy, grimhilde" She looked up again, softly and she sighed. She then heard the oven timer ding. She then softly replied, trying to change the subject "The pies are done. Let me fix us some pieces. I really want you to try it"

[Queen Grimhilde]

Grimihilde smiled.

"Cherry pie? That sounds quite good." replied Grimhilde.

She relaxed a little as Grimhilde said they wished to be friends as well. When Snow tried to apologize Grimhilde shook her head.

"It's quite alright Snow White. I was the one in the wrong. I was so evil and so obsessed with my beauty. I hurt you and your father. And Rupert. I'm not sure if you met him yet. But I cursed him into my mirror for rejecting me at the time. He's gotten another chance to be human but I couldn't completely reverse the spell. So he's still my servant and can use mirrors to show things. It wasn't until I came here and made new friends. And found Ace. Maybe one day she'll be your other stepmother." said Grimhilde.

She nodded again.

"It won't be easy. But we can just take it slow. One day at a time." answered Grimhilde.

She paused as the oven timer dinged.

"I'd like that." said Grimhilde.
