Do you think Ruby will kill Grimm!Summer and if so, how do you think that will clash with her objection to killing Penny?
I think it's all going to hinge on a) how the story portrays Ruby reacting to Jaune in Volume 9 and b) what sort of shape grimm!Summer is in.
First, they may not have Ruby kill Summer at all. And I don't just mean that the plot will twist to ensure someone else has to (somehow, without silver eyes) do the deed because she's unavailable, thereby freeing her of that hard choice — precisely like how Ruby was conveniently in the void by the time Penny needed to die. Rather, Summer might still be able to be saved. Many (myself included) have theorized that if Ruby's eyes destroy grimm and grimm only, she might be able to destroy the portion of a grimm that possess a person (for lack of a better word), leaving the rest of them intact. That's mostly come up in Salem discussions — could Ruby remove the influence of the grimm pool, leaving human!Salem behind? — but now that same question applies to Summer too. When she used her eyes on the Hound we saw the grimm part of him get stripped away, revealing the faunus underneath, before the goo of the grimm started Venom-creeping back over the rest of him. If Ruby could give off a more powerful blast, perhaps she could erase the grimm portion entirely, all in one go, sort of akin to how they won the geist fight in Volume 4. Hit it harder, all at once, until after a single blow only the core of the beast remains. In each case the grimm would leave the thing it possessed.
So that's Option B: is Summer in a state where it's possible for her to recover in some way? How deep do these grimm experiments go, are silver eyes capable of destroying the grimm without killing the person? How much of the original Summer would be left without the grimm parts? etc. etc. Lots of questions we don't have any answers to. Option A, however, comes up if we're given a scenario where Summer is beyond hope. She's a grimm now, no way to fix it, killing her is seen as a mercy. And that, I think, is the crucial difference. Ruby unequivocally said no to killing Penny... but Penny also wasn't presented as having to die. It's one of the rare moments in the volume where I 100% agree with what Ruby is saying. Penny has been hacked, her order is to open the vault, and then she's set to self-destruct. So how does killing her benefit anyone in anyway? They obviously want to save Penny, so all killing her at the manor would do is hurry the self-destruct along, the thing they want to stop. They want to keep the Maiden powers safe, but killing her might risk sending them off into the world, lost, or even wind up with Cinder if her attempts to steal them formed any connection. Obviously we know now that the powers didn't go to Cinder, that Penny was able to think of Winter and send them to her, but my point is that just killing her then is a HUGE risk. Finally, there's no real danger in opening the vault. I mean yeah, they don't want Ironwood to get the staff... but like, he just wants to leave. If Ironwood were planning to use the staff to, idk, decimate all of Atlas I can understand the group considering killing Penny to be worth avoiding the potential death of an entire kingdom, but there's no threat to anyone if Ironwood does somehow snag the relic. The only threat here is that opening the vault will allow Salem to get the relic instead, but the group decides to open the vault anyway. Penny is basically going, "If you don't kill me now then I'll open the vault, which will lead to Ironwood escaping Salem with a large portion of the kingdom and standing down from his bomb threat, and then I'll die!" So you want them to kill you to avoid... other people not dying? And you want to die so you don't... die?
It's absolute nonsense.
This is basically a long-winded way of saying that killing Penny in that moment wouldn't benefit the good guys in any way, shape, or form. The fact that Penny suggests it at all is monumentally stupid. It's a Deep, Dramatic Moment that makes absolutely no sense. "You have to kill me!" she cries... even though killing her does nothing good, likely does a whole lot of bad, and absolutely does a Big Bad by hurrying along one of the major things everyone is trying to prevent: Penny's death.
Of course Ruby said no. That's the smartest Ruby is in the whole volume.
But when Jaune is faced with the question? Well, it's meant to be a very different context. I've gone on the record multiple times as saying that the show did a HORRIBLE job of justifying the need to kill Penny, but I also recognize that we're supposed to believe that was the best option on the table. Unlike at the manor, Penny's death does achieves something here: giving her the ability keep the powers safe. It's also presented as inevitable: Penny will (supposedly) die regardless, so better that she die when she chooses, preventing Cinder from getting more power, then dying in a few minutes with more risks attached. The manor death had nothing going for it. The finale death — no matter how badly executed — is meant to be justified to some extent, whether we personally agree it or not. We're still meant to realize, "Yeah, Penny is dying, no way to avoid it, so killing her will at least help keep the power out of Cinder's hands and will give her some agency over the time she has left." It's still stupid, but it's a "You wrote this scene really badly" stupid rather than a "This entire concept is nonsensical" stupid.
So Ruby has never actually been in Jaune's position. For all her insistence that she won't let anyone die, Ruby has never actually been in a scenario where killing someone would do the most good for the world, or would put someone out of their misery, or would give them some agency over their own existence — all the things that Penny's death is (again) supposed to represent. We don't know what she'd choose if death was inevitable and she was faced with providing a "kinder" death, or what she'd choose if a death was, from a practical perspective, presented as the best way forward. That's because right now the story is horribly written and Ruby isn't forced to choose anything, but if they actually brought her back to her Volume 1-5 self, I can easily see her killing her mother as an act of kindness. Summer was turned into a monster by Salem. The very thing she's spent her whole life trying to eradicate. There is no possible, other way to help her. She is a danger to Ruby and all of her friends. Perhaps, if a part of her is still lucid, she expresses that she doesn't want to continue living like this, being the thing she despises, being Salem's tool, being a danger to her daughter. So Ruby kills her as an act of mercy and love. It's presented as a release from a nightmare existence.
But that potential, future characterization depends on whether Ruby understands the choice Jaune made. Again (again, again, again) I think the story did a terrible job writing that scene and that it didn't succeed in justifying the kill, but for the purposes of what I think the story was trying to do, Ruby may well parrot all that back in Volume 9: "Yes, Jaune. Penny was dying and there was no way to save her even though your semblance is healing. There was nothing else you could have done even though you might have gotten her through the portal and saved here there. Killing her then kept the powers safe messy lore aside. You did the right thing, horrible as it was." And that acts as setup for Ruby doing the same thing for Summer later on. Either that, or she's initially furious at Jaune and comes to realize — after some messy and contradictory character arc — that he did the right thing all along and she was just too grief-stricken to realize it. Which I will hate if we get that given how badly it'll all end up lol.
So those are the two theories I'm leaning towards. Either the story, in the fashion of Volume 8, will ensure that Ruby never has to make the hard choice of whether to kill her mom or not (oh god I'm imagining a scene where Yang offers to do it instead as some act of sisterly devotion/a sacrifice so the "pure" sister remains pure no no no no), or Summer's situation is (no doubt just as badly) presented like Penny's second request for death, as a necessary act that Summer wants, will assist the heroes in some way, and is definitely the Best and Only Thing To Do.
Of course, Option C is that this is... just never resolved. It definitely speaks to my lack of faith in RWBY atm, but given how many important things we've dropped I would not be surprised if Summer is never actively introduced into the series again. RWBY may well treat this as the answer to a mystery that never existed until said "answer" arrived, the writers viewing this merely as the explanation of what happened to Summer and nothing more. Don't get me wrong, viewers are 100% right to expect more in the future. This change raises even more questions than were already attached to Summer's disappearance and the existence of the Hound absolutely implies that, in a well written story, grimm!Summer will appear somewhere down the line. But, to be blunt, RWBY is not a well written story. So if some number of years from now we look back and go, "Wow, the answer to how they'll handle this is that they... didn't. This was never brought up in a meaningful way again" I really wouldn't be surprised.

So... I was just thinking about Blake's and Ruby's conversation the night before initiation, and I thought about Blake's whole "The real world isn't like a fairy tale" remark, and Ruby's rebuttal of "Isn't that why we're here, to make the world a little better?". Think about it, Blake was probably just parroting something Adam had used to justify his cruelty, and her future leader basically responded with "That's why we need to be kind".
That’s actually a neat way of looking at it. We know that Blake has a habit of echoing his words (like Mountain Glenn, for example, when she talked about how all she does is run.) so it wouldn’t be too far fetched to believe that Adam said something similar.
But let’s take this a step further; Ruby’s optimism in the face of Blake’s words may have reminded Blake of another young girl. A tiny little cat faunus, who grew up at the front of every rally, with a very ambitious dream of her own. With wide amber eyes filled with a hope and optimism that would one day be stolen by a charm that hid a very sharp blade.
Perhaps Blake looked at Ruby and saw that same little girl she once was before Adam got a hold of her. Maybe Ruby reminded her of the person she used to be and gave her a fleeting moment of hope of becoming that person again.
Ladybug friendship is absolutely darling and something I would like to see more of. Especially since I can see both young women kind of becoming leaders in their own respective rights, if you’re like me and love the idea of Blake becoming leader of the White Fang and chieftain one day.

Avian RWBY AU
This an AU where everyone within the RWBYverse has wings of certain birds (or winged creatures in Yang’s case). Faunus have wings from certain mythological hybrid creatures, like griffins. Currently, I’m focusing on the main cast and a bonus character until I can figure out if there are certain types of creatures for faunus characters and what I want other characters to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruby- Conure. I wanted a bird that was sweet and cuddly like Ruby. They also come in a variety of colors like a deep red. I was also thinking about how talkative she gets when she’s excited and, considering conures are a type of parrot, I wanted a pretty chatty bird.
Weiss- Swan. She is beauty. She is grace. She is one of the meanest birds in the world besides a goose. I wanted something majestic but also instills fear in everyone. One has to wonder how there’s so much anger in something half your size.
Blake- Gryphon. The most beautiful of the hybrid mythical creatures (in my opinion) and probably the most regal of them. I also liked the idea of Blake having pretty eagle wings.
Yang- Dragon. This was obvious. Her name means “little sunny dragon”. She was going to be a dragon from the start.
Jaune- American Goldfinch. Small, handsome yellow birb for a handsome yellow boi. I also wanted a sweet, small bird for Jaune, too, because he is sweet as pie.
Nora- New World Orioles. Small, energetic bird that dances to attract it’s mate. They also like nectar and fruit. So, sweet things, which Nora likes.
Ren- Black Budgie. Quiet bird for a quiet boy.
Oscar- Brown Finch. Much like Jaune: Small fluffy birb for small fluffy boi.
Qrow- A dusty old crow for our dusty old Qrow.
Bonus Character: Marrow- Hainu. The amount of research I had to do just to find the perfect mythical creature for Marrow was brutal and frustrating. But, soon I found the best of winged bois for our good boi. Tamed hainu are supposed to be loyal to those who trained them and this fits Marrow’s character because he is part of the Atlas military and has probably been labeled as Faci- I mean, Ironwood’s lapdog.

Floof went all out and made a 100+ thread of "Unpopular Opinions" about RWBY, most of which is a load of bunk or twisted facts, like usual. Though some, like, 56 would have -some- weight...if it wasn't from someone who constantly acts like he does. twitter(.)com/TheFloofArtist/status/1250503406738829312
1. I don't like Bumblebee. The execution is flat out nonexistent. There's no transition from Yang's discontent with Blake or showing how their conflict resolved. I wouldn't mind them being together if they showed us characters doing things, but it's all offscreen.
Yes, things that haven’t actually happened are off screen, congrats Floof.
2. I don't like the magic system. There's four magic systems. Aura, Semblance, Dust, and Magic. Their societies aren't impacted at all by people with superpowers. In the latest seasons they've done damage control with Dust by finally making use of gravity dust, but that's it.
You forgot Magic dumbass. also Semblances and Aura are the same fucking thing. Semblance is literally just another application of Aura.
3. I hate Ruby's voice. Why does it continually get squeakier every Volume? She sounded fine in Volume 1, but now she's like a mouse on helium, even though the character is older.
Floof, my aspergers make it so it’s painful for me to hear a fucking vaccum cleaner and yet I handle Ruby just fine.
4. I hate the Faunus racism subplot. Pointless, stupid, and a massive waste of time for everyone involved. All it does is eat screentime for no reason other than to give Blake something to do. The second it was resolved, Blake had nothing left as a character.
Congrats Floof, you gave a less nuanced version of what Miles said a month ago.
5. I hate Weiss. People only say she's the best character in the show (which she is) but it's like comparing garbage to recycling. Weiss would be recycling, while Yang and Blake are a dumpster fire. Nothing about her makes any sense at all, from her goals to her motivations.
Just because you lie about Weiss does not make it reality. I’ve seen your shit about Weiss before you rely entirely on everyone just mindlessly agreeing with you to look smart.
6. I hate Yang. She's like the Pokemon Ditto, in the sense that she's whatever the script wants her to be in regards to personality and dialogue. Dumping several contradictory traits into one character is not realistic nor is it character depth People only like her because tits
Not only is Ditto NOT like that since Ditto doesn’t speak, you’ve never even said what these ‘contradictory’ traits are. And I bet it’s, once again, reliant on everyone just seeing “RWBY bad” to mask your stupidity.
7. Salem is stupid. Why did she bother getting henchmen when she's an immortal who could just waltz into the academies and yoink all the Relics unopposed? Why didn't she just do the things she's doing in V7 earlier? She could've done it during the whole war thing 80 years ago!
Because if she tried that at literally any other moment in time, they’d all unite against her, Ozpin’s quest objective is cleared and he can summon the Gods. It only works here because Ironwood has gone off the deep end and won’t unite with anyone. And if she loses she’s FUCKED.
8. The gods are stupid "We can't resurrect Ozpin, that'd disrupt the balance of life and death" "Oh, you oppose us? Guess we'll kill all of humanity over 0.0001% of you guys opposing us" "We need to resurrect you Ozpin so you can stop Salem, who can't be stopped because of us"
Man, if you think they’re dumb, you should have heard about that time Chronos ate a boulder thinking it was his kid.
Gods aren’t always smart, dumbass.
9. I really don't like the tit windows on all the female character designs, especially when they're in a cold climate and proceed to explain that it's so cold you'll freeze to death, so why not wear warmer clothes? It would be cooler to see them wear color-coded arctic clothing
And then you’d play the ‘WHY ARE YOU SPITTING ON MONTY’S VISION!?’ card.
Your reputation kind of MURDERS any point you make.
10. I hate Jaune. My hatred for Jaune extends to just about every aspect of his character, from his goals, to his motivations, to how he was introduced, to how much screentime he eats, to his voice actor being the writer, to his incompetence, and his arrogance.
Translation: “I’ve projected Miles onto Jaune even though Miles doesn’t like Jaune and now I’m gonna use him to justify my hate boner towards the weakest link.”
10 tries, 10 fails. Especially when you look at these and realize-
These aren’t unpopular. Fuck, my blogs are dedicated to archieving bullshit and I’ve seen these moronic complaints hundreds of times.
Floof isn’t giving unpopular opinions, he’s just giving negative ones and then self victimizing so he can shield himself from criticism
Here’s an idea Floof, how about you give an opinion that ISN’T pandering to your base? Or is all that is left of you just parroting popular negative RWBY opinions?

I don't think the Manticore necessarily has to poison anyone. The Nuckelavee was a big Grimm with real plot significance and everyone made it out of that fight alright. As for Ruby on the concept art, they always use her to show scale in the concept art.
Oh I know Ruby’s silhouette is there asa general thing, anon-chan.
 Nonetheless, I still feel like there will be a connection betweenher and this creature for the upcoming season.
Though it was originally a fandesign, I don’t think the CRWBY will introduce this impeccably designed ManticoreGrimm (props to the original designer artist) if it wasn’t going to be somemajorly important Grimm. Ruby Rose fans have been waiting for a season thatfocuses on Ruby gaining more development as a Silver Eyed Warrior and I thinkthis Manticore, given its size may be the perfect opponent for Ruby to test outher powers on once again. The last time Ruby used her Silver Eyes on an actualGrimm of colossal proportions was way back in V3 with the Grimm Dragon.
Who knows? Maybe this Manticoremight be a sign of V6 touching on the Silver Eyes. Either that or thisManticore is actually a minor Grimm opponent for V6 like the Sea Feilongfrom V4. But my money is on this Manticore being a big deal.
Each time Ruby used her Silver Eyedpowers between V3-V5, her trigger was the loss or the thought of losing someoneimportant and dear to her. In V3, it was Pyrhha’s death by the hands of Cinder.In V5, it was when Jaune went after Cinder and Ruby thought he might suffer thesame fate as Pyrrha did; highlighting that she’s still pretty traumatized bythat event. I’m leaning towards the bad boy marking the return of TyrianCallows. Some folks are even speculating that Tyrian is the Manticore Grimm andI actually quite like that concept.
Asfor my thoughts on that...well that’s actually such a messed up twist that I actuallyreally like it. Props to folks like @nakurasden6460 and @parrot-with-a-mohawkfor bringing up. It can either be a case where Salem turns Tyrian into avicious Grimm as punishmentfor failing to capture Ruby back in V4 or...
Whatif...Salem gives Tyrian the ability to turn into a Grimm as an added power upof some sort. We saw that Salem can grant humans the power of Grimm byimplanting them with Grimm limbs like in the case of Cinder Fall. RememberSalem ordered Watts to craft a new tail for Tyrian during V5. So perhaps,once Watts finished manufacturing Tyrian’s new tail, Salem added a littlesomething extrato the artificial tail in order to ensure Tyrian’s success in his second chance toseize the Silver Eyed Girl.
Bymentioning Tyrian being the Manticore, you guys introduced the possibility ofSalem basically creating an entire army of Grimm humanoid monsters with theability to take both human and Grimm form. Imagine how cool it would be ifSalem single-handedly creates a new race of beings with the traits of both Man andGrimm?
Ifmankind thought the Faunus were monsters for their animialistic traits, imaginecoming face to face with humans who can become Grimm and because of their humanbiology, killing them wouldn’t be as easy as killing the Grimm or even a meremortal? They’ll be twice as resilient, twice as cunning and twice as lethal.That sounds awesome!
Now I’m imagining each member of Team WTCH (withthe exception of probably Hazel Rainart in case he’s redeemed) being turned intoGrimm-humanoid monsters as their final fate for loyally serving Salem. That’sactually a pretty cool concept.
Ilike the idea of Salem creating Grimm-humanoid hybrids out of her pawns just asmuch as I like the concept of her possibly resurrecting old characters asGrimm-humanoids for her to control.
Likepicture RomanTorchwick and Pyrrha Nikos being resurrected as Grimm-humanoidsin Salem’s new inner circle. But this is just me spit-balling an idea andtossing it out there. Doubt its canon possibility but still intriguing toconsider all the same.
Some RWBY fam have also pointed outto me the possibility of Nora being the victim of the Manticore due to theconnection with her mythological counterpart. Based on what @dramaticshenanigansand @welproosterteethownsmysoul told me, in Norse mythology, Thor dies frombeing poisoned by a serpant creature named Jormungand. Since Nora was inspired by Thor, here’s what I think:
A major villain, be it TyrianCallows (or possibly Adam Taurus since RTX 2018 hinted at him being a more prominentadversary for V6) returns to destroy our valiant heroes and this time, they areeither accompanied by the Manticore Grimm or turn into it. During the brawl,one of the characters---possibly Nora is is on the verge of being harmed by this Grimm and thissparks another trigger in Ruby.
Both Pyrhha and Jaune were membersof Team JNPR whose deaths or potential deaths have triggered Ruby’s Silver Eyesin the past. Perhaps the pattern will continue with JNPR members acting as triggers for Ruby’s powers.
What if...Nora is poisoned or…fatallywounded or at least put in the line of danger where she is almost killed bythis creature and it’s a moment where Ruby is forced to use her powers again inorder to save her? Or something along those lines.
 That could be possible. But I guess we’ll only know for V6.

Volume 5 Episode 10 Review
Sorry for the late review everyone, Christmas time is a pretty busy season for me and procrastination has always been one of my few talents. 
The episode starts with Ozpin and Qrow talking about the huntsmen and huntresses that have all gone MIA. Salem’s reach has extended farther than they thought, and the number of their potential allies is dwindling. Ruby comes in and asks about the Beacon relic, with Ozpin revealing that it is safe and that his cane is not the relic. Qrow gets a call from Lionheart saying that he made a breakthrough with the council and wants to lead Qrow and RNJR into an obvious trap. 
There are really only two things I want to touch on with this scene. First: Ruby, please ask about your eyes. When Ozpin asked if she had any further questions I was literally whispering “silver eyes silver eyes” under my breath. At this point, i’m not sure if Ruby (and Ozpin by extension) is actively avoiding talking about her eyes for some reason, or if the writers are putting the question aside to focus on the more pressing matter of the looming attack on Haven and it’s relic. Of course, it could be a bit of a combination. Ruby is actively avoiding the question because she considers the attack on Haven to be of more importance. But I don’t know. And right now the only thing to really do is wait and see. The silver eyes aren’t exactly something Ruby (or the writers whichever case it may be) can push under the rug for very long. 
The second thing I wanted to point out is also in regards to Ruby. I know I’m not the first to point this out, but Ruby has a tendency to be....blindly faithful. And that’s apparent in this episode when Ruby hears that Lionheart wants to meet with them and immediately goes to tell JNR/WY the news. Qrow and Ozpin notice something’s wrong right away, but Ruby doesn’t seem to have the same suspicions (justified suspicions at that). She’s completely trusting in the adults around her and that’s going to end up a problem if she doesn’t learn. Now I’m not saying she should adopt Raven’s “question everything” mentality, but the thing is, she rarely questions anything. So I’m hoping that eventually Ruby will learn the same lesson that Yang and Jaune have. 
Next Scene with Raven and Lionheart. We learn for certain that Raven wasn’t flying by Haven Academy to warn her brother about the death sentence she put on his head, but to tell Lionheart to put said death sentence into action. Which I’m really not surprised about. I’m a big Raven fan myself and find her character utterly fascinating, but I never understood the fandom’s idea that Raven didn’t mean it when she said she wanted him dead. Even if she truly didn’t want him dead, singling him out and saying the only way Salem will get Vernal is if he’s dead is a very very poor way of showing she cares. 
I liked this scene for the same reason I liked Raven’s scene with Yang. Raven gets called out on her shit. She can talk all she wants about strength and courage, but at the end of the day she’s doing exactly what Lionheart is: bending to Salem’s will because she’s scared. She postures, calls herself smart, says it’s in the name of surviving, but Lionheart sees right through it and asks her who she’s trying to convince. 
And now back to Menagerie with Kali, destroyer of bats, and Ilia, destroyer of hearts. There isn’t really anything I can say that won’t be parroting what countless others have already said. But I’ll still say my piece because it’s my review.
First off: Ilia got redeemed! Quicker than I anticipated, but not all that unexpected. Ilia, from the very beginning, has always been portrayed as sympathetic, misunderstood, and lost and in need of proper guidance. Her anger and hatred of humans made her seek an outlet for it, and that outlet was the White Fang, a group that told her her hatred was justified and that violence was the only way to help the faunus. She said herself that she doesn’t like violence, and on numerous occasions avoided hurting Blake, but like she said: she didn’t know what else to do. She was lost and angry and the White Fang took advantage of that. All she needed was for Blake to show her another path to take. And now I am very excited for how she interacts with RWY. 
Second: Blake’s speech at the end. Her speech was not “faunus are responsible for everything bad that happens to them” like some have been saying it is. Her speech is “Letting a genocidal egomaniac like Adam be the spokesperson for what faunus want is only going to hurt us and justify more more and more hatred toward us. I don’t know how to make hate go away, and don’t know if it ever will, but if we continue to let Adam get his way and do nothing to stop him then we can’t say it wasn’t our fault that humans continue to hate us.” Anyone who tells you her speech was tone deaf or awful is clearly not paying attention in any way, shape, or form.
As for Fennec and Corsac....they’re still not much more than hammy, hand-rubbing villains to me, so Fennec’s death affected me very little. I don’t know what role Corsac will play in the future, if he does have one, but I can’t say that I care much at all right now. If the writers want me to care, they’re gonna have to give me a reason. 
Overall, one of the best episodes of this season. Mainly for the Menagerie section, as the other to did have that “standing round talking” problem the writers have (albeit there were at least better character moments this time around).

Apparently some parrot breeds vomit to attract mates. Vomit boy lookin’ good, eh?
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: (Gets off the bullhead, Runs to trash)
Ruby: Huh? What are you- (Gasps) No! It can't be! Is... Is this... MARRIAGE?!
Yang: You just met him! What is wrong with you?!
Fun Fact! Birds have a special gland known as a crop between their beaks and stomachs. The purpose of the crop is to soften foods to either regurgitate to feed young or entice mates, or make the food softer for digestion.

it seems parrots talk to appliances. Do the bird Faunus do that?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information to really confirm or deny this fact. The stuff I did find talked about parrots not responding to recordings, tearing up towels and dancing around them, and rubbing their "bird bits" all over stuff and people during their puberty. That and also parrots being able to notice if a person is not speaking their native tongue.
But I'd hate to leave you empty handed, so I'll give you something at least.
-------------------------------------------
Ruby: (Sitting next to bed) And then, the girl in the Red Hood said, "Looks like my little sickle isn't so little anymore~!" And they all lived happily ever after. (Tucks blanket in) Goodnight, Crescent Rose. (Pecks)
Weiss: Ruby, have you seen my... Were you just... reading a bedtime story to your weapon? IN MY BED?
Ruby: Ssshhh! You're gonna wake her!
