This whole thing was just… aaaaaaaaah she couldn’t even get herself to think of it as a bad thing what was wrong with her-! She blinked as someone knocked on the door and it creaked open. “No ones home I mean shoot. Um… hi, whoever you are.” She heard the footsteps of the mystery person start walking over to the bed. “Err, I know this looks weird but really I’m just… playing hide and go seek! With my team so if you see any of them especially Weiss don’t tell them where I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhiiiiiiiiiiii Weiss.” she squeaked as the blankets were tossed aside. “.....Darn you found me, guess that means I’m it, you get to go hide now-” “Ruby” “-But I’ll warn you I’m really really good at seeking so you better choose a hiding spot that’s awesome, ok? ok, I’ll start counting then, 1, 2, 3, 4-” “Ruby” “-5, 6, 7, 8, 9, you better start moving if you don’t want me to catch you Weiss! 10, 11, 12- “RUBY WE ARE NOT PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK YOU DOLT NOW OPEN YOUR EYES AND SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT SO THAT I CAN APOLOGIZE!” “...Well… maybe we should be- I mean what?” She did indeed open her eyes in confusion. “.....Aaaaaand you should be apologizing foooooooor….” “For… well…. you know, the thing.” Weiss muttered “...The pillow thing? because thats not a big deal we do that every night anyways silly now I really do wanna play hide and go seek so I’ll start counting again and-” She was cut off by a hand clapped over her mouth, the flatness in Weiss’ glare matched only by the nerves in her voice. “I remember what happened. Well. bits and pieces anyways.” “...” Ruby slolwly started to pull the covers back over herself “STOP THAT” Weiss snapped, yanking them back off. “So, as I said I wanted to… say I’m sorry for doing that. It was highly inappropriate and unfair to you as both a teammate and a friend, and I-” “I started it!” Ruby blurted. Eyes widening briefly before her hands clapped over her mouth. Weiss’ apology trailed off as her mouth hung open in surprise, staring blankly at Ruby for a moment. “....I….I beg your pardon?” Ruby started to pull the covers back over herself again, before she squeaked as Weiss ripped them out of her hands and glyphed them onto the ceiling. She gulped and opted to just look at the floor instead, face as red as her cloak and eyes watering a bit. “...W-well, you /did/ pull me back to the room and kinda didn’t let go but you just started talking about some… stuff, and how lonely you were, and you started crying and it made me feel bad and I was about to start crying so I said you weren’t alone because you have us but you weren’t listening so I kinda just kissed you a little bit maybe. “...You wh-” “-But after that you um… well… um… k-kinda… um… very thoroughly returned the favor. Very, very thoroughly. F-for ten minutes straight.” “...” The glyph deacviated, the blanket falling right on top of Weiss as she stood motionless. “....Weiss?” The heiress ruminated her options under the blanket, embarressment, anger, something she was desperately trying to ignore, and more embaressment thudding through her veins. How. How to fix this. There had to be a way to return the status quo. There /had/ to be. Just had to choose the right tactic for this battlefield Unfortunately for her, she chose very wrong. “...Fine, then I do blame you” “So you really don’t have to- oh.” Ruby blinked a few times, shoulders drooping as she frowned. “...Well… I mean. I did… but you didn’t seem to mind and…” “Well… I did!” she said with a sniff. “I realized you were just trying to be a good friend, so in my drunk state I simply mirrored your actions!” “... You just said you couldn’t remember anything! How could you know thats what you were doing?” “I… remembered just now!” Ruby’s frowned deepened and her shoulders got a bit of their form back as she finally stood up off the bed to stand even with Weiss. “...Nnnope. Totally lying.” “Prove it.” “Grr…” she narrowed her eyes for a moment in irritation and thought. “...You said you were mirroring me right?” Weiss’ own gaze shortened but she nonetheless slowly nodded. Ruby nodded in turn and took a deep, slow breath. This was it. There was a very good chance she’d just ruin one of the best friendship’s she’d ever had, but… she was tired of the pit of longing that had been building up for months now, tired of putting it off, and tired of just not knowing for sure how Weiss felt about her in turn. “...Then I should probably tell you that wasn’t just because I was trying to be a good friend, which if you /were/ mirroring me would mean the same, it was because…. I-I really, really, /really/ Li-” Sudden hand over mouth as Weiss bristled. “Ruby, don’t you /dare/ finish that sentence.” She pulled her mouth free. “I-” other hand shot over, Ruby snatching it off again “-really-” Weiss wrenched both hands free and slapped them back over, but Ruby simply over powered her. “-like-” *SHIIING* “...” Ow. Ruby glanced down at the layer of ice that had formed over her mouth, before she looked back up at Weiss with a dull glare. The heiress sighed in relief, taking a moment to collect herself as she held myrtenaster up. “...Now. I will remove the ice if you /promise/ not tosay what you were going to, or any variation. ok?” Ruby glowered for a few moments but slowly promised. “On crescent rose and chocolates?” Weiss insisted with a glare of her own. It came slower again, but Ruby nonetheless nodded again. Weiss stared herself for a few seconds, as if testing Ruby’s gaze, before she nodded herself and flicked Myrtenaster to red, carefully melting the ice away. Ruby rubbed the rawness off her mouth, glad her aura made it so that didn’t hurt /too/ bad before she looked up at Weiss with a depressed glower- That suddenly vanished as she grinned evilly. “I challenge you to a duel!” “What.” Weiss deadpanned, her own relief evaporating instantly. Ruby nodded. “A duel that, if I win, that promise is revoked!” “...No.” Weiss said blankly. “So there. Ruby raised one eyebrow, the smile on her face eerily reminiscent of her sister as she leaned in close. “....Are you saying you can’t beat me? Aaaaaaare you? AAAAAAAARE YOU?” o.e….. Weiss snarled darkly and fought hard, /oh/ so hard to keep herself from replying. And failed. “...Of course I’m not. I just… I get nothing out of it, so why would I?” “If you win, I never bring this subject up again. Ever.” Ruby said solemnly “...Fine. Then things can return to normal.” “Except they won’t, because I’m not gonna lose!” Ruby shot back with a smirk as she started towards the gym. Weiss growled and followed. “Please, I’m not going to lose to a little brat like you” “And I’m not gonna lose to a prissy princess like you!” “Slob!” “Nagger!” “Dolt!” “Spoiled!” “Ignoramus!” “o.o Thats dirty-” “NOT WHAT IT MEANS THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY POINT.” --------------------------- The pair stood on opposite ends of the mat, weapons at the ready. Weiss rolled her neck and flexed the fingers on her free hand. “The rules of engagement?” “First to pin or break the enemy’s aura wins. Fair?” Ruby said as she bounced up and down a bit to loosen up. “Simple.” “Fine.” “Fine!” “I SAID FINE FIRST” “oh my god WHO CARES JUST START!” And they did, Ruby blasting off with a shot to rocket at Weiss with a wicked slash that was deflected aside with a glyph, narrowly avoiding the return fire of a crack of lightning with a semblence powered dodge to the side. She tried a few more times, literally bounding off the walls to come in at odd angles, But Weiss’s eyes were narrowed in intense concentration, watching the blade and Ruby’s shoulders to expertly deflect the blows despite the speed they were coming in. granted /all/ she could do was deflect them, and barely due to the sizeable gap of strength Ruby had on her, but using glyphs to do so left Myrtenaster free to unleash the elements upon Ruby in turn, keeping her from locking Weiss down with an overpowering combo by forcing her to dodge. All Weiss needed was one false move on RWBY’s part, just one misdodge, and she could trap her with a glyph and put this issue to rest once and for all. She waited, watched… and struck! catching the top of Crescent rose in a glyph and giving a victorious shout as she blasted…. thin air. “Wha-” was all she had time to say as she processed the fact taht Ruby had apparently /thrown/ her precious Crescent Rose at her, disarming herself for some reason- A hand gripped her shoulder, spun her around, and yanked her in close for a big, sloppy kiss. The heiress squeaked and squirmed. She had to, if she, she still had her weapon, or a glyph, or something, anything, something, if she could just get her brain to function, focus on something else, anything else except how nice- Ruby didn’t even need to try, keeping Weiss steady with two hands on her shoulder as her foot gently hooked around Weiss’ leg to pull it out from under her so Ruby could carefully lower her to the floor, lying flat on top of her for a few seconds before she giggled like an idiot and separated. “....So…pinned!” Weiss was too red in the face to reply, simply shaking her head slowly as she tried to comprehend the dual shock of the kiss and /losing/ something for such a silly reason. “Ok, so…” Ruby took a deep breath again. “...Since I won...I like you Weiss. Like, like like you. You’re smart, you’re funny when you want to be, and cool, and really cute when you get flustered.” she said with another giggle. “So… I… was wondering if maybe you might be interested in potentially going somewhere with me sometime. On a date. As girlfriends. And we could maybe kiss and stuff or just hug even. So… “ she hopped off Weiss and helped her up, nervously wringing her hands together and taking a deep breath, all her courage blown in that couple of seconds as she waited. Weiss accepted the hand and listened in mute acceptance, gaze firmly on the ground through it all. There it was. The end. The finality of her first real friendship, all because of some stupid feelings. Sure Ruby returned them, but how long would that last? Love was a far more fickle beast than friendship, she’d seen that /quite/ clearly in her life. She desperately wished that she could somehow rewind time, make it so none of this happened, but… it was too late now, unless she wanted to try and steal the TARDIS, and not answering would probably make Ruby feel even worse than if she said no. So she sucked it up and finally owned up to her feelings. “[t]Okay[/t]” “...YES!” YES YES YES YE-E-E-ESSS! Oh thank you thank you so much Weiss I promise I’ll be the coolest, most awesomest girl friend ev-OW!” She started to go in for a glomp that probably would of also been a kiss, only to be… punched in the nose. Weiss gasped in horror and covered her mouth at her own action, moving as if to comfort Ruby but coming short of a few times as the other girl started to tear up. “Oh my- I didn’t- I’m so sorry Ruby but I flinched!” Ruby sniffled, rubbing her nose more out of shock than any actual pain from Weiss’s decided lacking arm strength. “I… but… we just… do you not want to…” “I do, do!” Weiss assured, waving her arms “But, we just… can’t” “...huh?” Ruby blinked, more confused than hurt now. “You’re fifteen.” “...duh?” “So… well…. yes. that.” “.... Weiss you do know you’re only seventeen righ-” “I KNOW! I…. I know. But while apparently its fourteen where you live, the age of consent is sixteen where I’m from!” She muttered, arms crossed firmly. “So… we can’t.” “...Holy crud Weiss I was just going to hug you not… you know… We’re in the middle of the freaking gym!” “I AM AWARE OF OUR LOCATION!” she snapped. “I just… if… I don’t necessarily trust my own willpower if… now that we’re actually…” she took a deep breath and forced the word out “...girlfriends and its somewhat expected for me to be allowed to feel those kind of…. things.” Ruby stared for a few seconds as her brain tried to process that train of thought. “...So… when we weren’t girlfriends… we could hug and stuff because you weren’t allowed to act on any sort of um… thougths that it might of…. but now that we are… But that doesn’t work! You still don’t think you’re allowed! She whined as she rubbed her own head. “ITS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!” she snapped again, fidgeting nervously. “Look, just… maybe later, once I calm down, ok? ok. Now… I need to go take… a very long, very cold shower.” Ruby, while honestly flattered and more than a bit flustered herself at Weiss’ explanation, groaned and rubbed a hand down her face. “... ok, ok, fine just… ok. I guess I’ll go… I dunno, work on something. Or get a snack. Or… something.”   Weiss Schnee 3:22am, November 12, 2014 [Edit] [Delete] Dame Schnee was on a mission from god. Or so claimed her father when he sent her out with naught but horse, rations, and a sword, but they both knew the truth. She was an obstacle. He may of declared her sister his heir, and Weiss may of joined the Knights of Slayers as a seeming abdication of her position, but people still talked, still worried about what would happen if the older sister’s reputation for anger and cunning overtook her. The Schnees were already fighting one war, quiet as it was, against the White Fang uprising, the whole kingdom would collapse under the weight of a coup or civil war. Weiss Schnee needed to die But of course, they couldn’t show any cracks in their family unity. Their strength was built as much upon reputation as it was their wealth and arms. An execution, any sort of false or true evidence of conspiracy on the older sister’s part was out of the question. Nor would a simple street mugging or an assassination, nothing that would give the White Fang any ideas of weakness. She needed to die gloriously, a martyr for the Schnee name, doing something that no other family or knight would dare. Which was why, when King Schnee heard reports of a dragon taking roost in a nearby range of mountains, he had /smiled/ . He told the populace he had a vision, that his daughter the monster slayer was destined to slay the beast, a trial by fire to finally decide which sister would lead them in these tumultuous times when he finally passed. Weiss had taken the announcement stoically, announcing her honor in being chosen for such a knightly task, nonetheless well aware that no knight had faced down a dragon and lived in over an age. This was a suicide mission to the letter, and Weiss was ok with that. But not with dying. No. She’d trained too hard. Practiced and studied too long to be done in by her father’s paranoia of her claims no matter how much she told him she had no desire for the throne. She’d slay the beast! She’d strike it down and come back a hero, and when she dropped its head at his feet, his game turned against him and Weiss with all the cards, she’d still turn down the throne. Her family’s honor intact, her father made a fool, and no more worries about the throne. A perfect end. And all she had to do was kill one dragon. And really, for the Schnee prodigy, how hard could it be? ---- The wind howled and ripped at the entrance of the small cave Weiss had taken shelter in. The weeks of travel had passed by in a blur, and she had reached the mountains just as night began to fall. Unfortunately, the weather had taken a turn for the worse long before that, and it was a very drenched knight and her horse that stumbled into the cave to make camp. She’d been prepared (of course), a pile of tinder gathered on the road pulled out from under the pack on the horse, laid it down with a strip of her cloak to serve as more solid fuel, and unsheathed her thin blade, tapping it against the pile and smirking in satisfaction past her soaking bangs as it sparked alight with a small application of dust. She gave her horse an affectionate pat on the neck as the warmth slowly filled the cave before she slumped herself against one of the walls, leaving blade in her grip as she slowly drifted off to sleep. A thunderous boom had her shooting to her feet hours into the night. She held the blade up towards the entrance, slowly letting her breathing return to normal as she watched the downpour outside. “just a bit of thunder.” she assured herself quietly, though strange that it seemed to be the only one the clouds had let off the whole night. And she could of swore the ground had shook, and just to be safe she slowly crept up to the cave entrance to take a quick peek outside, just to make sure that some beast wasn’t prowling outside, just waiting for her to- “Hi there!” The knight nearly had a heart attack at the cheery greeting, blade whipping up to the throat of the figure that stepped around the cave entrance. Unsurprisingly the girl froze in worried surprise at almost getting her throat cut. More surprisingly, she was absolutely beautiful, and Weiss found herself frozen as well, caught staring in blank confusion at the sight before her. She was taller than Weiss by a full head, her long unrluy locks soaked through by that shimmered like gold in the dim firelight. Her toned body and simple clothing implied her as some worker of the lower class, though the curves that poked through would of been better served on a marble statue. She was also slowly pushing Weiss’ sword away with the tip of her finger, a bemused look on her face as she coughed awkwardly. “So uh… does that mean I can’t come in?” “...Oh! I, of course” Weiss coughed out, taking a few steps back and lowering her blade. Sheathe it she did not, eyes regarding the girl before her in suspicion. And for no other purpose. “Who are you and what are you doing out here?” The girl seemed more amused than put off by the questioning, head cocked slightly to the side as she crossed her arms. “Weeell, I’m Yang, aaaaand I live here! There’s a whole bunch of small villages in these mountains short stuff, I just got caught headin home between two of em when it started raining. And you don’t look like you’re from any of them. why are YOU here?” The knight’s eye twitched as she sheathed her blade, accepting the answer but not accepting that nickname. “Do not call me short stuff, I am a perfectly acceptable height for my age-” “-Sooo, you’re twelve-” “SEVENTEEN SOON TO BE EIGHTEEN YOU PLEBIAN!” she snapped, snarl and blush only growing as the golden girl giggled at Weiss’ reaction. “AS I was saying, I am Weiss Schnee.” she said, glowering expectantly at Yang once she heard her name. “Well nice to meet you Weissy but you still didn’t answer my question about why you’re here.” … Weiss blinked a few times at the complete non reaction. “...Weissy?! Do you know who I am?!” “....Aaaaaaaammm IIII supposed to?” Yang asked, seemingly leery. “...Yes! Member of the royal Schnee family? Second in line to the throne that rules over these lands!?” Weiss said exasperated, arms out to the side and staring at Yang like she had a second head. “...Oooooh, you’re /that/ Weiss. Gotcha.” Yang replied with a nervous chuckle that she shrugged off in short order to return to the friendly grin “Nice to meet you Weissy Schnee, why the heck are you in a wet cave in the middle of nowhere?” She furrowed her brow in baffled confusion, slowly shaking her head as she answered. “...I’m here due to reports of a dragon moving into these mountains. It is my duty both as a Knight of Slayers and a member of the royal family to protect the citizenry from these kind of monsters.” The girls’ expression suddenly grew more thoughtful, openly sizing Weiss up with a thoughtful frown. “...hrrmm. really? I dunno, you seem way too cute and small to be a monster hunter” she deduced with a smirk. “Call me short one more time and I’m kicking you back into the rain” “Sorry, sorry, I’m just teasing!” Yang assuaged with a laugh “how often am I gonna get the chance to tease royalty?” she asked as she sashayed (why was she walking like that???) past Weiss to get closer to the fire. “So you think killing this dragon will help protect people?” She frowned at the question, walking away from the cave entrance as well. “Obviously. What kind of question is that?” “Well, I dunno where you got your ‘reports’ from but there /is/ a dragon here, except its totally super nice! We give it some sheep and stuff every month and it keeps us safe from bandits and grimm, since I dunno if you’ve noticed but you royal folk don’t seem to have a lot of presence out here” she said with a small pout(???) as she turned to face Weiss. The knight just stared for a few moments “Are you stupid?” “...h-huh?” “Of course it does you idiot.” Weiss started with a sigh. “Its trying to soften you all up. Whether its to make it easy to make you all its prey and your belonging its horde in one easy go, or maybe even to carve out its own little kingdom starting here! My word you people are lucky I came out here.” she muttered, slumping down next to the fire Yang blinked a few times before sitting down next to Weiss, staring at her. Weiss slowly tilted her head to stare back, one eyebrow raised and cheeks rosy at being… studied by this random girl. “...Can I /help/ yo-” “Why don’t you try talking to it!” Yang interjected, focus replaced by a bright grin. “...to the dragon.” Weiss clarified. “Yea!” Yang agreed with a quick nod, beaming. “You really are an idiot aren’t you?” “...” “If I’m to have any chance of defeating the beast, I’m going to need to catch it by surprise. Its either that, or try to face a massive, armored beast who breathes fire head on. “ “...” the girl sighed despondently “You’re sure huh? And you really think you’re doing this to help people?” The princess simply nodded. “...ok then.” yang acquiesced with a small nod and a yawn, leaning her head over to Weiss’ shoulder. To the knight’s credit, she didn’t immediately bounce ten feet into the air, merely looked over to the cascade of gold covering her shoulder with a mix of confusion and horror. “What exactly do you think you’re doing?” “You’re cold and wet and I’m cold and wet, what do yah /think/ I’m doing? I mean your Weiss cold Weissy!” “...Get off of me! I-I’m fine and more to the point I’m /royalty/ this is not appropriate!” she hissed, shoving the girl off. Or at least trying, her hand snatched in the attempt and Yang smirking as she slid all the way across Weiss’ lap. The knight froze at the sight, at the soothing warmth that seemed to be coming more from Yang than any measly campfire as the golden girl grinned. “But what if you got the sniffles? It’d be /awful/ if you set out to do your hero thing and died because of a sneeze!” Weiss… didn’t actually have a response to that, and she stared back up at Yang in begrudging embarrassment before she sighed. “...f-fine. But do anything untoward o-or tell anyone about this afterwards and I’ll… I’ll arrest you for treason.” The girl just laughed in response, sidling up close to Weiss with an affectionate nuzzle and shifting her grip for maximum warmth with a teasing grin. “Don’t worry Weissy. I’d /never/ hurt you!” --------- She was gone in the morning against all odds, sleep had eventually come over Weiss, the warmth beating out the embarrassment after an hour or two. And though she’d never admit it, it had been one of the comfiest, deepest sleeps she’d ever had, even with it being against the wall of a cave. But when the sunlight pricked at Weiss’ eyes through the cave mouth and she slowly roused herself awake, she found herself alone with her horse. No sign of the girl at all, and Weiss had to wonder if she’d been there at all, or if her dreams had taken a particularly /strange/ turn last night. … well, it was not something worth pondering, the girl gone and likely never to be seen again. And good riddance. No matter what the disappointed pit in her stomach thought, the girl had been a rude little brat. She sighed and packed up camp, swinging herself atop her horse and continuing on her way. ----- The dragon’s lair wasn’t hard to find. it was a surprisingly short distance from her cave, so much so that Weiss actually thanked the rain for the night before. Without it she had a bad feeling the dragon could have smelled her campfire, as the beasts had a reputation for having a nose for soot and flame. The rocks surrounding it were slagged from blasts of flame, and two or three piles of blackened sheep bones laid scattered near the entrance This was it. Her glory or her death. She would not be afraid. … or at least not show it. She gulped and took a deep breath, carefully sliding off her horse and kneeling down behind a large rock overlooking the entrance. “Go home Zwei” she whispered, a long trained trick for the horse as it whinnied and obliged. Such a good little horse ;-;. She nodded and turned back towards the gave as the horse trotted back down the mountainside. She had the location. She had her veiwpoint, now all she had to do was wait for it to either leave or come back, so she could be sure it was home. *Several hours later* ...Where the hell was the stupid thing? Weiss shifted uncomfortably from where she’d been crouched for the whole time, a small indignant snarl on her face. How dare this beast not show up. Was it hibernating or something? Well, if it was, she was just going to have to go in there and get it, and with a deep breath she quietly crept off into the cave. ---- “...What kind of stupid dragon horde is this?” She asked blankly. There was barely anything in here. A few more sheep skeletons were lying about, and a hairbrush sat at a mirror table far too small for any dragon to use against one of the far walls. and all that was left aside those few things was a modest pile of copper pieces sitting on the other side of the cave. And that was it. This was literally the worst horde ever. of all- wait. She frowned slightly and stared more intently at the pillows. There was… a piece of fabric sticking out of the pile that did not belong. her frown grew as she jogged over. No. that was too much of a coincidence. Unless the stupid girl had come up here to talk to the dragon /for/ her oh please tell her that wasn’t the c- When she tugged on the fabric, the ragged, torn, and slightly singed piece of sleeve from the shirt the girl from last night had been wearing came free in her hand. Oh no. It only took a quick scramble through the pile to find a few more tattered shreds just like it. Weiss sagged to her knees and slammed a fist into the cave floor, snarling in frustration and guilt. This was her fault. She should've never told a simple peasant what she was here for. Should’ve realized the girl was going to do something like this. And she hadn’t. It was a few minutes before she slowly pushed herself back to her feet, rubbing a hand against her eye. before she snarled in violent fury. “Wherever you are dragon, your death with not be merciful” She tossed the scraps to the side and stalked over to the cave entrance, standing at attention and determined to do so till the foul creature came back two days passed. Two days of no food or water and fitful sleep against the side of the cave, strange dreams of wind and heat and warm embraces filling her head. She almost assumed it was waiting for her to sleep, so that it could swoop in and eat her, but it never came, and after waking up the second night, she accepted the obvious truth. The dragon was gone, either scared of her or off to better hunting grounds. She’d failed. It was going to be a long walk back to Atlas city, and it was with a heavy heart that she grabbed a torched sheep skull as proof of her arrival before setting down the mountain. ---- It was strange how time seemed to blur for her these days. Did it always do that? It had been three days since her trek up the mountain had proven fruitless, and she was back on the road proper leading into the city, winding through one of the realm’s great forests currently. It was a long journey, but as always she’d prepared- *THUNK* a gasp sputtered past her lips as the crossbow bolt punctured through her armor into her side. There wasn’t even any pain, just a dull ache. poisoned? she tried to keep standing but coughed and wobbled down to her knees, a chuckling echoing strangely in her ears as half a dozen men in black leathers slipped out of the woods, all armed with wicked looking bolts and curved swords. She recognized them. The Blackguards. The Schnee family assassins. and apparently her father’s plan b Oh gods. she wasn’t getting home was she? She defiantly tried to struggle to her feet and felt around for her sword’s hilt, only for the chuckling one to give her a wicked boot across the chin, the poison dulling it to a buzz as she flopped onto her back and coughed, the man with a delighted, cruel smirk that seem tailor made to go with his vibrant green hair as he planted his boot on Weiss chest “Hellooooo your highness! You’re not dead! That’s amazing you know, your pappy /assumed/ we’d just be picking up your bones and getting that sword back. He never thought we actually have to go /through/ with plan B, but hey” he said with another smirk. “More fun for me I mean, how often do i get to kill a /royal/ am I right? now hold still.-” he continued, stepping off Weiss to walk over and grab a lantern from one of his cronies, screwing off the bottom and dumping the liquid inside all across Weiss, the knight gasping and sputtering as she tried to stand back up .the lead Blackguard’s face light up with glee as he pulled out a matchbook, one of the others cracking Weiss in the back of the head to keep her down “-We gotta make it look like a /dragon/ did it-” *ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR* “...ok, who’s the smartass who-” a bright yellow comet crashed through the trees with a resounding boom, crushing a a blackguard underfoot and raising its head to glare at the scene below it. Weiss was in awe. It was massive, its coat a shimmering pile of gold, its eyes terrible rubies, its teeth smooth, porcelain daggers and the flames that were building up across its open mouth the most beautiful scarlet she’d ever seen. She never stood a chance. This wasn’t a monster, it was a force of nature, and one she’d never of been able to overcome. Thus it was with a strange peace that she smiled even as the other blackguards recoiled in fear as the flames washed over them with purifying rage, and Weiss felt every tip and inch of her body tingle with heat. ...it took a few seconds for her to open her eyes afterwards, blank confusion on her face as she looked at the carnage around her. all that remained of the blackguards were bits of charcoal bone, and even the road had a wave pattern across it from the slagged and cooled rock. She could see the melted remains of her armor on the ground behind her, and yet there she was. untouched save for the wound the crossbow bolt had left, and she turned back towards the dragon- only to have a familiar girl bound her way through the last flickerings of flames, skin still finishing its shift from scaled gold to smooth alabaster, concern and relief combating across her features as she skidded to her knees in front of the princess and grabbed her shoulders. “Are you ok Weiss?! I’m sorry I just wanted to make sure you got home ok after leaving my lair and sorry for hiding in the pillows but you seemed really mad and I didn’t want to have to fight you But these guys showed up and you got shot because I was too slow did it hit anywhere important???” She blinked slowly, mouth working silently for a moment before she finally sputtered. “How… the fire and… why did…” Yang arched an eyebrow, a small grin replacing the concern after she checked the wound herself and she shrugged. “I only burn what I /want/ to burn Weissy. I told you I would never hurt you, didn’t I?” She blinked again, slowly nodding and also slowly turning red. “But… my clothes???” The smirk on the dragon in a girl’s skin shifted to slightly more devious as she shifted her grip. to pull Weiss onto her lap “Well, I really did think you were trying to do whats right, I was soooo touched when you reacted like you did to my shirt , and taking into account how criminally adorable , when I heard how things were for you back home from that jerk I got to thinking. And you’re right! My horde’s pretty dumb right now, just what I get from my day job and some pillows. And you know what else you were right about? I could /totally/ start a little kingdom in the mountains, I’d be an awesome dragon empress! so with that in mind, I figure whats a more classic addition to a dragon horde than a kidnapped princess?” she leaned down a pecked the top of Weiss’ temple as her smirk shifted into a far warmer, caring smile. “So what do you say princess? Think you’d be ok with being kidnapped?” Weiss stared in shock… before her own face broke into a small, shy smile, and she leaned up- pulled across the top as her eyes fluttered open to peck Yang softly on the lips. “I’d be honored to be the gem of your horde.” ….oh. “....uh…. hi.”   The One Being 3:20am, November 20, 2014 [Edit] [Delete] ----Amiens, France, 1918---- The sounds of artillery shells whistling through the air was not a sound foreign at all to the poor German soldiers that the shells were being set upon. Raising a hand to his mouth, a German commander barked his orders to any who were close enough to hear. "SCHALE! SCHALE! RUCKZUG! RUCKZUG!!" But as the troops barred towards their trenches and leaped in, the commander's last sight on this planet would have been a shell flying down towards him and his body being too paralyzed with fear to move even an inch. "Scheiße..." *BOOOOM* Two more soldiers barely made it back to their trenches, both of them adorning black 'Hitler-style' mustaches. The one on the right seemed taller, but had a more gaunt face and was covered head to toe in the dirt that had been kicked up by the artillery strike launched by the newly arrived Americans who were leading a massive offensive with the Frogs and the damn Tommys. He had a light Bavarian accent as he spoke to his slimmer and more well built comrade. "Ugh, we would have had this war won if it weren't for those damn Yankees, Helmut!" The one now identified as Helmut shrugged. "Well, I mean we managed to knock those damn Russians out of the war by sending that Bolschewistischen back to his motherland. I have to be honest with you though, Konrad. I'm so goddamn /SICK/ of those Austrians relying on us for every single thing. First it was the Serbians, then the Russians, and now the Italians! Those Türkische Schweine distracted the Tommys more than they ever did! To think we speak the same language as those cowards.." Helmut growled. Blinking at the rant his friend went on, Konrad decided he'd try and brighten the mood. Nudging Helmut, Konrad grinned. "Did you hear about what happened to Adolf?" “Eh? Hitler?" Throwing his arm around Helmut's shoulder and yanking him in, Konrad nodded. "Aye, aye! You recall he got vergast right? Unfortunate business and all that but, heh..." Konrad looked away as he nearly broke into a fit of laughing. “Konrad, are you going to tell me what happened or am I going to just assume you're being a ”arschloch about our own men getting vergast?" “Alright, alright I tell you! The Ärzte und Mediziner said he'd come out alright. With the exception of lacking one bälle! Hahahah! Let's see him boast that showboaty scholp anymore when he's half a man!" Konrad said as he couldn't control his laughter. Helmut was not amused at the thought of even a jerk such as Adolf going through something like that. Helmut liked having both of his testicles right where they were. o.e “Konrad” Trying and failing to control his laughter, Konrad managed to eek out a response. "Y-Yes Helmut?" “I find it both disgusting and worthy of reporting to our kommandant that you find the thought of one of our fellow brothers in arms losing something near and dear to him such as part of his manhood!" Konrad frowned and glanced away. "Oh..I'm sorry, Helmut. I didn't think it'd bother you so much. If you really want to report me than go right ahead.." But as Helmut kept the glare up, it'd eventually break into a grin and he'd playfully slug Konrad in the shoulder. “I'd never report my best friend and the only other sane man in this whole crazy business." “You arsschloch...” Konrad muttered. The two men stared at each other before they broke out into a fit of laughter again but they'd eventually cease as a large shadow loomed over them. “Having fun,Ein-und Zwei?" The figure asked and he was quite the important looking fellow with many medals/badges stuck onto his jacket as he glanced down at the two soldiers with distaste evident in his eyes. He clearly resembled the sterotype of a 'Prussian general' and he was Konrad and Helmut's general: Georg von der Marwitz. He referred to the two as 'One and Two' because he figured them as nothing more than numbers due to how they acted so 'undisciplined' compared to the other troops under his command. “We were just talking about the current situation, mein kommandan-”Konrad started before Georg raised a hand to silence him. "You do not need to explain yourself to me. I too am displeased with how things have turned out. The Americans sticking their noses into conflicts that do not and have never concerned them have worsened things along with the failure of our so-called allies to support us. Now, how exactly do you think you two are contributing by standing here and chit-chatting, hrm?" “...” The two glanced away as a smile appeared upon Georg's face. "Ah I see you lack any sort of response. Not surprising. Now, if you value any sort of future in the miltary you'll cease sitting around and talking like idiots and comitting to the actual war effort! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" “YES, MEIN KOMMANDANT!" Helmut and Konrad snapped in unision. "Good. Now get up and get moving. We've lost too many troops and equipment to hold this place any longer. We're moving back to Saint-Mihiel to try and hold our ground there." With that Konrad and Helmut saluted Georg and he'd make his way off. Once he was far enough in the distance, Helmut began sputtering curse after curse as he walked along with Konrad. "I tell you Konrad, I hope if the Tommy's snipers want to aim after anyone they aim for that bastard. Right between the eyes.." Helmut grumbled. Konrad was busy glancing off in the distance as he could vaguely make out French and American troops starting to come up. “...Helmut we should-” Before he could finish the rest of his sentence a shot rang out and Konrad clattered to the ground, and as Helmut turned and seeing Konrad's helmet laying a few feet away and blood running down from where Konrad's left ear had previously been "Konrad!" Throwing his friend's arm over his shoulder and noticing French troops raising their rifles and opening fire, but thankfully missing Helmut tried to drag his friend back into the trench. Laying Konrad down gently, Helmut reached for his rifle and returned fire at the French troops managing to score a hit. "Verdammt slimey Frosch fress Bastarde!" He roared as the French troops continued to close in despite Helmut's pitiable attempts to hold them back. "Jetez vos armes ou mourir comme votre ami, l'allemand! " The French troops yelled but Helmut refused. "NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!" He snarled as he continued to open fire nailing three French soliders. Having had it up to here with Helmut's resistance, they opened fire and multiple shots hitting him right in the gut, his rifle fell to the floor of the trench. Placing an arm over the new wounds, Helmut would be defiant to the end as he took off his helmet and hurled it at the enemy. Only for the helmet to not come anywhere close to connecting. "Shit." Helmut mumbled as he fell back against the trench wall and the French troops raised their rifles ready to shoot Helmut down where he lay. *SHUNK* "GAHHH!" The shrieks of the poor French solider who was unfortunate enough to get shanked by the spike on top of Konrad's helmet filled the air as Konrad had risen up to his feet and stabbed the solider right in the back with the spike that he had torn off his helmet while the troops had been distracted by Helmut's one-man assault. "ENOUGH!" The French commander shouted in English as the remaining troops turned their rifles onto Helmut and Konrad. "FIRE!" He shouted as the bullets rained out and both Helmut and Konrad crumbled to the trench floor. As the life slowly began to fade from their body and the French troops spit upon their bodies as they began to move on wards, the two Germans they had left behind for dead grinned. They were still together to the very end as Und and Zwei..

Weiss had been at their side almost every fight since her arrival, and had she the slightest inkling where they were going to end up going she would of dragged herself out of death itself to make sure Yang didn't have to make that trip alone after what what her love had gone through before. She'd grown accustomed to how the TARDIS moved, and had learned to watch like a hawk for where they had landed when they did. And yet when the doors slid open, she was nowhere near leaving. why? ****6 hours ago***** Ruby continued to kick her feet below the table with a dejected huff. "....so I don't suppose you're done being mad n-" "No" she winced at the rapid and firm response. Ugh. She needed Yang and Blake here, either to apologize themselves or, more likely when her sister was involved, talk her down or at least get her angry about something else! She had stuff she wanted to talk to Weiss about, and she couldn't... really... not with her all cold and mad like she was now, that'd just suck. No, if she couldn't find the other two, she needed a plan. A secret weapon. Something.... something she might actually have! Something she knew could melt Weiss' icy facade in an instant! It was FOOLPROOF! "...Ok, so... you're mad at me and I get that and seriously I'm sorry Buuuuuut there's one more person that you're totally ignoring that completely doesn't deserve it!" "..." Weiss sighed and glanced over her book to glower slightly at her fearless leader. "And that would be...?" "Zwei!" Ruby declared with a bright grin. "..." Weiss refocused on her book, but there was a far less icy chill to her eyes as she bit her lip and made a show of continuing to read. "...you actually brought him? That could be dangerous you know, this isn't exactly a pet safe environment!" she chastised. Ruby just rolled her eyes. "Weiss our teacher used him as a flaming projectile to fight robots and you don't even wanna know how me and Yang practiced for soccer back home ohmygoshkiddingIwaskidding" she squeaked out at the absolute murder glare Weiss had started. She took a breath and continued, a bit more shaky. "...B-but anyway really he'll be fine! Besides, did you want us all to just leave him all by himself again Weiss?! that'd be awful!" the heiress' fingers were drumming along the table at this point, face contorted into a unsure frown. "...I... no, I suppose not-" "And now we're doing it again!" Ruby interrupted with a mournful sigh, zipping around to grip Weiss around the shoulders and lean her head there. "We promised he was gonna see you and Yang again and he was really excited but then you had your, umm, 'moment'" *growl* "-w-which was entirely our fault and I'm sure the other two are gonna apologize for as soon as they see you again, but because of that he's been in our old room all alone again! ALL ALONE WITH NO ONE TO LOVE HIM WEISS!" She moaned dejectedly. with one eye cracked open at the end to gauge the heiress' reaction. "...' ***************** The door to their old room slid open. "If this is some stupid trick I simply cannot put into words how furious I am going to be- ZWEI!" Weiss all but squeaked as the tiny little ball of energy bounded to them as the door opened, her own tail wagging as- He growled. Ruby was very confused for a moment. Zwei loved Weiss! and Weiss (heh) versa! What, did he not like the tail or something??? Why the heck would he growl like that- "Grrrr" "..." Ruby turned slightly towards the heiress to see her teeth bared and tail stilled for the moment, growling right back at Zwei. "...uh." If Ruby was confused before... Suddenly, there was a flash of motion as both canines burst forward. the scuffle was brief, not overly violent, and ended with Weiss' hand clasped around the corgi's throat as she kneeled on the ground and pinned him there with a snarl. "why" Ruby squeaked. The staredown between the two went on for a few moments longer... before Weiss just suddenly released and coo'd as she rubbed the corgi's belly as his nubby little tail did its best to wag and he went back to panting like a dork "Awww, who's a good beta, you are, yes you are! oh you such a good boy you are you a such a little cutie and so fierce and awwww" she went on, scooping him up into her arms and cradling him as she nuzzled the side of his face. "...No seriously Weiss what just hap-" "Quiet I'm still mad at you" she said primly even as the snuggles continued. "You won't be mean too wight zwei, no you won't because your my wittle buddy yes you are-" she jumped as the dog suddenly sneezed, but brushed it off with a slight giggle and went back to what she was doing. "you even sneeze cute you are so pwecious!-" *****3 hours ago******* "aaah." Weiss gave a one hundred percent contented sigh from where she was snuggled up in one of the bunks with the corgi. Ruby was just... kind of off to the side, for the most part ignored by her partner and her dog in lieu of each other which was, you know... yea that was fine no hard feelings or anything but at least Weiss wasn't mad anymore! Yes, this plan had worked, now she just needed to "'choo" Weiss jumped a bit at her own sneeze this time, rubbing her nose with a small sniffle. "That didn't feel good." "Hehe, that sounded almost just like how Zwei did all last week, he had a /super/ gross doggie flu, could barely even move around the poor thing." she said with a giggle as she sat up. To see a very worried Weiss staring at her. "...He was sick?" "Well, yea, but if you're worried about that I mean don't be, it was just a dog thing." "..." "...what- oooooooh" ***************** and that was why currently, instead of making her way out the doors to strike the fear of schnee into the evils of the universe, Weiss was flopped into a bed with a very worried Ruby checking her temperature and really not liking the triple digits it was showing.

As the game began, the tributes spread out. Sun rushed towards a backpack and slipping it onto his shoulders, he sprinted off deeper into the woods. Meanwhile, Kyo had gathered three other tributes in the form of Mr. Terrific, Doc Grey, X-23, and Deadpool to engage in a four-way brawl. Although Kyo ulimely comes out victorious, no lives are lost. But something is indeed gained as in his downed position, Mr. Terrific gets a nice glimpse of Kyo's well toned ass and licks his lips. Soon.. Galen would take a far more simple approach and grabbed a sickle before sprinting off himself, while Vi grabbed a tridant and some idiot in a tacky brown jacket and blue jeans grabbed a bow and arrows and fled. Meanwhile Azula with a crazy twitch in her eye was stock-piling as much food as she could! No one was going to take HER food!! Blake was confronted by the leader of Team JNPR and had a suddent stroke allowing Jaune to simply push her down and raise his sword to attack only to be shot at by Duke. Jaune flees and Duke glances down at the downed Blake and quips eloquently. "That's a whole lot of pussy." ;) (⇀‸↼) Feng stared the downed Midnighter with his weapon raised poised to strike but Midnighter held up a gloved hand with blood running down his face. "Please don't kill me! PLEASE!" Feng briefly wondered why he'd consider letting this man live before a fist was rammed straight through him and as the mountain man crashed to the ground, Midnighter flicked the blood off his glove and smirked as he continued on. Ladd found a cave and proclaimed it as Ladd's cave. Jack of Blades was an ancient and diabolical force, not to be taken lightly by anyone. Hence why it was unfortunate that Nora Valkyrie did not watch her back more carefully as an armored fist smashed into her nose knocking her on her rear. Jack of Blades then gripped her bread and ran off snickering like a schoolgirl. Off in the distance, Scorpion had knocked Roman to his knees and bringing the mace down, blood splattered onto the wraith's face. "Fatality" He'd mutter coldly. The Doctor decided 'screw all that nonsense' and hid. As Paxton lay broken and battered at the feet of the rocker known simply as Vas, they grinned down at him. "Any last fucking words, ghost?" But before she could deliever the killing blow, she was punted aside by Ben Ten-Inch. Ryuko grabbed a backpack too caught up in her hurry to get to safety that it was bloody empty, the twit. Korra gripped a first-aid kit and rushed away with it while Naruto who was hiding next to the Doctor nodded. 'Sup?' Oh, and Quinn fell in the water and died, but enough about that, an evil trio is formed as Hazama, Nui, and that one guy from Borderlands team up! But another alliance was being formed at the same time, only this one was of a kinder nature with Luffy, Pyyrha, Yang, oh and Cameron was there as well. In the wild, Nico yanked a mace out of the lead cenobite's hands and smiled up at him believing that perhaps they could assist each other. Hotstreak glared at the Doctor and Naruto. "Get out of here! This is my spot!" Ellis glanced towards the other three. "Can y'all tell me where Ben is? I need to find him before Mister Terrific finds Kyo." Hotstreak, Naruto, and the Doctor all stared at him rather strangely and things got rather awkward at the cornucopia. Oh and Weiss turned evil and killed Ren and Hottie McLeather-Pants. Also Sam kicked the shit out of Nihilius only to be kicked aside by Andrew Garfield as Sam didn't cock his fist before attacking Nihilus thus it didn't do enough damage. Oh and Jack found bombs.  AVP's Hunger Games Redux:Day 2 Scorpion 8:43pm, February 28, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] Vas being rather pissed off and confused as to how someone could have a you know what that long and how they were able to swing it around with such efficency, decided she'd be better off working in a team and so she partnered up with Midnighter, Hazama, and that crazy gal Dr. Grey and thinking that Scorpion guy was kind a dick anyway, they decided to steal some supplies from him. As he returned, he'd clench his hand into a fist and screamed to the heavens to the only person responsible for this. "QUAN CHI!!!!!" Somewhere Quan Chi laughed again. Nui poked Naruto and using her feminine charms lured him off while Mr. Terrific had found his prey and setting his sights upon Kyo's booty, he'd lunge forward and attempted to grope dat fiery ass only to eat a flaming fist right to the face. As his stalker was downed, Kyo fled. "You won't get away from me. Melting Chocolate will become a thing.." Meanwhile Jack of Blades the petty thief of foods snuck into Galen's camp and snatched up some of his supplies before running off into the night giggling away. Oh and Jaune tried to sneak up on Nora and got his shit fucking rocked. He was no Jacqueline of Blades that's for sure. :| Meanwhile, Slender-Deer, Casper's highly realistic twisted brother, emotionless girl Wolverine, and Andrew Garfield stole from monotone terminator girl. Yang and Nico became partners and Weiss hid in her hiding spot while Azula murdered Jack who was looking for a train to blow up only he couldn't find one! Silly Jack, this is the woods trains don't live in the woods! Now the hood I think you might find some trains there. Biggie Smalls and all that. Ben dived into the bush and thanks to his green jacket which he never changed out of ever, he lived for another day as it allowed him to perfectly blend in. Oh and Darth BITCH got his ass kicked by Sun. Duke and Vi also met up and both being musclebound badasses agreed to work together. Oh and Krieg stalked the fifteen year old huntress. :T Korra daydreamed of home, hoping Mako/Bolin were alright and that Asami was waiting for her so they could go on that date she promised. The only moment in this retelling that I won't mock or be a smarmy dick about. Ellis grabbed Deadpool's booty believing it to be Ben's. As Deadpool tried to grab HIS booty, Ellis fled for the hills. Ladd found another cave and claimed it as his own. "The fuck do I keep finding all these caves for?! WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!" Blake in order to make up for that humiliating stroke against Jaune earlier kills his lover by shanking her in the neck as she sleeps. That'll show him. Oh and some idiot dreamed of finding out who could have possibly killed Rita. Who cares about that though? Hotstreak rightfully got his just desserts for the last Hunger Games he was in and got chased off by Ryuko, running past the Doctor who instead of crushing the trees with his TARDIS like he did to a certain demon in an RP long since past, he'd be trying to grab some apples. Oh and Luffy became attached to Sam but only because he really wanted to eat Sam's head and as the two walked holding hands, Pinhead fell into a pit and died. THEN METAL SONIC KILLED EVERYBODY. THE END   Opa 4:28pm, April 14, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] Ruby and Weiss left the control room after receiving the news. The younger huntress' gaze flicked to her partner a few times, and each time her nervous worry grew. Outwardly, Weiss had taken the news rather stoically, a calm nod and a request for more information that was denied, that was followed by another nod and a request to at least be kept in the loop. And that was all. Except for her sleeve. Ruby had been around Weiss for a long time now. They'd been partners, best friends, briefly more, and through it all teammates. Maybe Yang had caught up or even passed her up, but Ruby liked to think that she knew her partner better than almost anyone. And when Weiss Schnee's fingers were pinching her sleeve, incessantly rubbing it between her fingers in a quiet and out of the way break of her composure, things weren't bad. They were /really/ bad. "...Weiss-" "I'm fine." The heiress replied curtly as she waved Ruby off. "...Ok. Ok, you're fine, which you know, makes sense! Yang'll be fiiiine" she said breezily as she threw her arm around Weiss shoulder. "As you and he said. I'm just curious how you both know this." Weiss replied coolly, daintily removing the hand from her shoulder and continuing on her way. Oh dear. Ruby winced and jogged to the front of the heiress, spinning around to backpedal with her arms clasped behind her back and a bright grin. "Because she's Yang you goof! She's-" "-She's what? Invincible? Is that where you were going with that?" Weiss cut off with a sharp glare, Ruby's insistence wearing on her nerves and composure. "...Well-" "Because I've seen first hand that she's not, Ruby! You weren't there! Twice now I've let her slip through my fingers while I was there, and both times ended awful!" she growled, slowly starting to advance on Ruby with hackles raised, one hand balled into a fist and the other jabbing into Ruby's chest. "First, she got kidnapped by a demon and dragged to hell. [b]Literally to hell[/b]. The only reason we got her back was because Nico pulled a miracle out of nowhere and made a reality altering /freak/ have a change of heart! And then the second time, I was /there/ when she was grabbed, and failed miserably to keep her safe, You want to know HOW miserably Ruby?!" She barked, the young huntress up against the wall at this point. She glanced at either side as if for an escape, before she shook her head and steeled herself into her own glare, determined to stop this before Weiss went off any worse. "No, Weiss, I just think we should-" "[b]SHE DIED[/b]." Weiss roared as she just /punched/ the wall next to them. "Not only did she die, [b]I WAS THE ONE THAT DID IT[/b]! I made a stupid assumption, and if it wasn't for some literal god, alien... /thing/ bringing her back, then that would have been it! AND THEN SHE LEFT AGAIN! NO WORD ABOUT IT TO ME, NO 'Hey I'm going to do something dangerous, will you be ok?' OR ANYTHING, JUST LEFT! WE EVEN HAD A FIGHT ABOUT IT, IT, it almost, a-and, AND [b]NOW SHE'S DONE IT AGAIN![/b] NOT EVEN A FUCKING GOODBYE, NO IDEA WHERE'S SHE'S GONE O-OR WHAT SHE'S DOING, AND, AND AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN HAPPENED TO /PROVE/ THAT SHE'S /NOT/ INVINCIBLE, YOU AND THE DOCTOR WANT TO TELL ME [b]TO CALM DOWN[/b]!?" The heiress' chest heaved with exertion when she was done, somehow looming over Ruby despite their equal height with nostrils flared and eyes wide, both hands in fists at her side as she /shivered/ with frustrated rage. It barely clicked what she was doing, how she was taking this so very unfairly out on her partner and best friend, but the feeling of being abandoned again was stuck so deep into her gut that she didn't even registered it and just stared down at Ruby in wait of a response. oh. Ruby felt very small. That was... a lot to take in in a short and very violent delivery of news for one. Yang had... died? The very idea seemed downright surreal. Heck, she'd been caught in a noogie just a few days ago. And past that, even at her worst she'd never seen Weiss so, so /furious/ ! It wasn't even just anger, the sheer amount of hurt that dripped off the heiress words stung Ruby deep even though she knew it wasn't even directed at her, and she stuttered for a few seconds as she tried and failed to keep eye contact with the berserk heiress above her. "I guess... a-all I'm saying is... [t]maybe we should just trust her?[/t]" "...Huh?" Weiss asked, fury half melting as she just offered a blink. Ruby frowned and gently put her hands on Weiss arms to lower them off the wall. "Weiss... I... I get that some stuff happened and that me and Blake weren't here. But... I mean, it goes the other way too. Once I was old enough to handle myself Yang used to go off and do stuff like, all the time. A lot of the time it was to look for her mom-[t]oh, err, I-I mean you already knew about that right?[/t]" Please say yes T^T The heiress' blank stare continued, but she slowly nodded. "[t]Oh thank god[/t] S-so yea, she go off, a lot of the time without saying anything and I just... trusted she would come back. Everything you guys apparently went through sounds... well awful, and if you want to talk about it I-I can! but... well, it doesn't change the fact that when I came back, Yang /was/ here, and she /was/ ok. She even seemed happy! And do you really think the doctor would send her off on something she couldn't handle without being able to say goodbye?" The heiress' shoulders finally started to slack. "Well... n-no, but then why can't he-!" "Tell us? I dunno, we're not the super smart time genius aliens! But do you think he'd tell you something that was gonna upset you so bad as a /joke/ ?" "...[t]No.[/t]" Ruby beamed and nodded, wrapping Weiss up in a hug, warmth and cuddles to soothe the remnants of icy rage. "Then don't worry about it! Or if you really /have/ to, worry about it, but just keep in mind; you can /trust/ that my sister will come back. She always does. ok?" "..." The heiress sagged into the hug, and for a time was silent. Ruby smile shifted from sincere and hella tense to sincere and extremely relieved. Oh thank god. She did it. Now all she- "[t]I just want her to take me with her once[/t]" "...Huh?" Ruby asked in concern, pushing the hug back slightly at the tone in Weiss' voice and oh no. The heiress' face had gone from the face of anger incarnate to a miserable frown, eyes downcast and already watering as she just hung off of Ruby shoulders, a small sniffle escaping. "[t]She always leaves. She could have said no. There's plenty of other people on this ship that could have done it, o-or the doctor could have sent me or, o-or am I not trustworthy enough? Did I screw up b-bad enough with Jack that they just do these things without me now? D-do the think I couldn't handle it? I... I, I *sniff*[/t] I can't-" Oh very no. Ruby heaved Weiss over her shoulder and just booked it full on, semblance kicking into gear to blast their way from the hall to their room. Door slammed. A half second or so later everyone in the general vicinity was probably very grateful for the sound proof space ship design. Ruby tried not to go deaf from the miserable sobbing as she kept the hug going, patting her partner on the back and trying in vain to console her about... honestly she wasn't sure anymore. She wasn't sure this was any better than the yelling =w= Edited 4:49pm, April 14, 2015 by Opa, author. Index | New Thread | Reply | Close | Stick | Delete
