He said her name with a restrained but noticeable tenderness, bright amber eyes watching hers, and smiled just a bit more playfully, glancing down at her uncharacteristically glamorous dress indicatively.
"...although the ice and snow were unexpected, as well. I hope you won't think less of me if I'm only more tempted to request a dance."
A bit of flirting--suggesting her new image was much more remarkable than her magical powers--might well help take her mind off her problems... and it didn't really require any deception on his part. He'd grown up with hazardous powers of his own, and while he hadn't expected her to have them, he could adapt to the idea readily enough; but to think of staid, proper, poised Elsa presenting herself in such an... eye-catching manner was quite a bit harder to take in stride.
