What do you mean you get Qrow?

"Life's hard, even for people who don't fight monsters for a living. And the more I find out about what's behind this world's curtains- well. It's never a pleasant surprise. It's always something that adds another touch of sorrow."

[jaune-refaire-arc]

“I used to look down on Qrow- for being a drunk. But man, I get it now. Can’t say it’s a good pick on his part part but... Man. I understand it.”

From UnfcrunateScn: “Why do you let them talk to you like that?”

@unfcrunateScn

"...'Cause they're kind of right?" Jaune answered. "I mean, I've just barely started clawing my way away from the title of dead last mega-failure." Besides, what was he going to do? Beat them up? Even if he could, what would be the point?

Jaune glanced at the other boy, wondering why he cared. As a rule, people didn't really care if someone was speaking poorly of Jaune, and he was well aware of that.

"I, uh, didn't realize you'd been listening." He said, chagrined.

random dialogue … sentence starters pt. ?

“You look hungry.”

“This… what is this?”

“How’d you find out?”

“Are you catching a cold?”

“That’s very questionable.”

“Do you ever just shut up?”

“Oh, I don’t like the looks of this.”

“Oh no, you sweet summer child.”

“… You don’t actually get it, do you?”

“You look like you haven’t slept in days.”

“Did you actually walk all the way here?”

“There’s nothing wrong with speaking up.”

“You don’t deserve to be treated like that.”

“Don’t you think you’re taking this too far?”

“Why do you let them talk to you like that?”

“I love this so much. I could do this all day.”

“What made you think this was a good idea?”

“No, sorry, that’s really not a good look for you.”

“You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for.”

“I care about you. This isn’t going to change that.”

“Next you’ll tell me you’re a superhero in disguise.”

“I often find myself questioning how you’re still alive.”

“I know you were just crying. Your eyes are still puffy.”

“Seriously? You’re just gonna sit there and do nothing?”

“Respect is earned. And you still have a long way to go.”

“You don’t have to make it up to me. It wasn’t your fault.”

“I don’t think you’re grasping the severity of the situation.”

“You thought it couldn’t get any worse. Well, it got worse!”

“I think my mind has gone places it will never fully recover from.”

“Just because you’re brave doesn’t mean you need to be reckless.”

“I know you’re going through a rough time. Can I get you anything?”

“So, you’re telling me, if you had the chance to change it, you wouldn’t?”

“You had multiple chances to reconsider this choice. And you still made it.”

“I don’t know what’s going on with you, but you need to get your act together.”

“It was the weirdest dream I’ve ever had. I’d like a word with my sub-conscious’s manager.”

Ah yiss. Motha. Fuckin’. Jerky.

“Under ground cathedral..?” Jaune trailed off, thinking. “I Don’t think I’ve heard of it.” He said, carefully controlling his voice. That sounded so freaking cool, but he didn’t want his fellow Templar to just think he was an over excited kid. But, man, he badly wanted to find, and then explore it.

“It sounds really interesting.” He admitted, lengthening his stride. “I’ve always liked old things. I can... feel, something from them. I know it sounds weird, but I swear they feel more solid, more real somehow. I can’t say I wouldn’t mind going on an expedition for something like that.”

“Does Brother Julius think he’s found a lead?” Jaune asked, opening the door for the Sister.

“No no, it’s fine.” She nodded. “I know what Brother Julius wishes me to do, the archives likely have something waiting for him. He spend a lot of his spare time researching things lost to us. What I mean by that is, old books, artifacts, things the church lost track of over the years.”

“He’s particularly fascinated by the subterranean cathedral.” Finishing her drink before putting her jacket on and grabbing her rifle. “Have you heard of it? It’s said the empire built it. We have proof of that, unfortunately we have no idea where it is or how one would access it.”

“Ruby! Don’t you think Atlas might not like you examining their brand new, bleeding edge, state of the art, weapon systems that are packed to the gills with their state secrets?”

Light, but his diminutive friend was fast. He’d barely caught her, despite her having to pass by him.

this is a reminder that i literally do not care if you reply in five minutes, five months, five years.  still owe me something and want to start something new? go for it.  still owe me something and want to answer memes or send memes instead? go for it.  just not jiving with it and want to do something with a different character? go for it.  need to disappear into the wilderness and scream at the sky for a few years? no problem.  you take any and all the time you need.  this is a hobby, it is for fun, it should not ever cause you stress.  you do what you want to do when you want to do it.  i will never be mad bc you drop something or it takes a year for you to answer it.  this is a collaborative hobby that we do for enjoyment and if it isn’t fun, if it isn’t sparking joy, do something else. you take care of you.

“He didn’t say what it was, only where. He said it was at the archives, whatever it is. I assumed you knew what it was.” He admitted, embarrassed. “And that he didn’t want to tell a initiate like me what was going one. Uh- do I need to go back and ask him what it was?”

The blonde wished the earth would rise up and swallow him in that moment. How embarrassing would that be? Jaune chewed his lip for a moment before he continued.

“He said it was fine if I tagged along, if you didn’t mind at least.”

“Hm? Did you find out what Brother Julius needs?” Smiling as she put down her now empty cup. “I know it’s likely something he’ll say isn’t very important, that’s just how Brother Julius tends to be. He tries to do everything himself because he hates burdening people with even the smallest of tasks. I do fear he may be running on empty though considering the workload he’s taken on to cover for Brother Solomon.”

She was glad when he offered to make the cocoa. With her luck, she’d get distracted and screw it up, and that wouldn’t bode well for her mood. She carried her heels carefully in front of her, setting them down at the base of the stairs before padding over to the kitchen with Jaune. Realizing she was more than likely to get in the way, she reconsidered following him.

“I’ll, um… go make sure everything’s good in the common room,” she offered, offering the tiniest smile before she ducked out of the room to let him work. There was one large blanket on the back of one of the couches, and she managed to put one more log on the fire, settling herself down on the floor in front of it. As it crackled, she couldn’t help but stare at it, remembering the hot, searing pain in her side that day… again.

She pulled her knees to her chest, resting her arms on them and leaning forward to rest her forehead on her arms. She was sitting on the floor in front of the fire, curled up and wishing she could forget. Hopefully the warm cocoa would be enough to lift her spirits, if only a little.

“I’ll meet you there...” He said dreamily, thought preoccupied on how best to make their drink with what they had.

Jaune bustled around the kitchen, though he made sure to keep quiet. Cocoa, milk sugar, salt, water, chocolate and a pot. It didn’t take him long to whip up a batch of hot chocolate. It wasn’t the best he’d ever made, but it was the best he could do with what they had on hand. He knew Weiss was used to a level of creature comforts he could hardly imagine, but he hoped she’d enjoy the drink he’d made her in spite of that. He hurriedly poured water in the pot so it wouldn’t set, then started towards the common room.

 He emerged from the kitchen with a pair of steaming mugs. His face crumpled when he saw her defensive posture. He asked himself, not for the first time, if she’d be better of if he’d never come to Beacon. As always, he didn’t have an answer. He shifted the mugs around to single hand, so that he could grab a blanket, then approached her.

He sat next to her, placing the mugs of drinking chocolate in front of them upon the fire places’ hearth. He settled the blanket on her shoulders.

“You looked cold.” He explained quietly. He hesitated a moment, before giving her a brief one armed hug around her shoulders. “Hope you like your drink.”

She held his hand all the way to their rooms at the academy, which like when they were at Beacon were situated across from one another. Once they reached it, she stopped, though she didn’t quite let go of his hand right away.

“Oh–I just…” She paused, thinking “I just don’t know how long it’s going to take, so I want to make use of as much time as possible. We have the evening to ourselves, so… Might as well make the best of it, right?” With a shrug, she reluctantly let go of his hand, smiling and folding her hands in front of her.

“I’ll just be a few minutes. Don’t want to wear all of this out, you know?” She’d still bring Myrtenaster with her, but this clothing was more suited to combat and less suited to social outings. Ducking inside her room, she quickly changed out of her outfit and into the other one, meeting Jaune back in the hallway.

“There… All good.” It wasn’t much, but it was definitely more comfortable.

Jaune felt disappointed when she let go of him. He mentally dealt that part of himself a dropkick. “Of course.” He began with a smile, “It’s your night, you know? We’re celebrating you, after all. I mean. you’re victory.”

“Take your time!” He called after her as her door shut. He was- well, to be honest he had his armor and practical clothes. Nothing fancy enough for a date. He cringed at the thought, reminding himself that a date wasn’t what was going on. He felt a sense of crushing guilt a moment later.

I’m sorry...

He closed his eyes, wrestling with self loathing while Weiss changed. How dare he?

Jaune smiled when Weiss reemerged. “Looking good, Weiss. Where are we headed? I hope I’m not underdressed. ”

kalopsic​: 

She was silent for a moment, trying to get her thoughts in a coherent manner. Despite her habitual unwillingness to open up when things were bothering her, she could tell he knew there was something wrong and he genuinely wanted to fix whatever it was. Through the year they had been paired together he had slowly proven she could trust him, even when it was so incredibly hard to let herself do so. It was getting easier and easier to let him in, she guessed that was something she needed practice to improve. 

“I’m thinking about how I can help you the most. I feel like I’m doing a terrible job as your partner.” Oh light, was she going to cry? Her voice just broke a little as she confessed her current fear to him. “When you get down, I want to help so bad, but no matter what I say all I do is make it worse.”

She bit her lip, focusing on the city lights against the darkened sky. If it had been difficult to look at him before, it was impossible now; she would undoubtedly cry if she did and that was the last thing she wanted to do around him. She began to shake slightly, holding it in was proving difficult even without seeing the way he was most likely looking at her. She all but whispered her next sentence. 

“Please tell me what I can do to help.”

Jaune looked at her incredulously. “You’re doing a terrible job as my partner?”

He was shocked. How in the world could she think that? She, who had given him everything, though he’d done nothing for her in return? He was a leach, and she was goddess that helped him despite having every reason not to.

Jaune scooted closer to his partner, and threw an arm over her shoulders, pulling her into a one armed hug.

“Pyrrha- you’re doing all you can. And that’s a whole lot more than I really deserve. I mean, yeah, it sucks to be so far behind. But. But. Who is is that’s dropped a ladder down into the pit I was in? It was you. I’d still be down there, clawing at the walls if you hadn’t helped me, despite me being a big jerk.”

Now that he thought about it, he’d never talked about the whole blackmailed by that asshole Cardin thing. But she, and the rest of his team had welcomed him back with open arms anyway. “You’re wonderful to me. I... I just have a long way to go, before I’m wear I want to be so I get a little frustrated. Don’t mind it, okay? I’ll get there one day, and when I do, I’ll have you to thank. I’m so grateful for everything you do for me.”

[jaune-refaire-arc]

Better now.

Sorry, I’m miserably ill and it’s going to be a bit before I can kick my brain into normal function.
