“I... know the feeling.” He placed a gentle hand on Weiss’s shoulder. “It takes getting used to. Having people who love and support you.” Qrow still had issues with it, really. “But you have a lot of people here who love and support you and want to be there for you. Try to remember that, when things get hard.”

picks ruby up like half an inch and squeezes her. good luck getting free, even if your mother is lowkey not strong anymore and you can just break away --

“Wah!”

Ruby’s squeak of surprise lasted a few moments. It was a strange feeling to be held by her mother again-- the rose didn’t know quite how to process the situation. Something that should have been so easy became more difficult than fighting a Nevermore. 

She had to remind herself that yes, this was real. Her mother was holding her again. Ruby felt a lump lodge itself in her throat, refusing to let words free for a brief second.

Her head dipped, resting upon Summer’s shoulder and neck. It took every fiber of Ruby’s willpower to keep tears at bay, but she wasn’t strong enough to keep them back for long.

    ❛     i see.     ❜     hades only ever handled the most complicated of judgements, those who confused or angered his panel of judges, those whose lives were more difficult to understand than most.   many were soldiers, some the incarcerated, some children -- those who did not fit neatly into a box marked good, evil, or somewhere in between.   the woman before him now was one of those cases, her life full of heroics and tragedy and wrong choices all at once.  he could see why the judges had passed her to him.

    suicide was complicated -- as the god of the dead, he had a strained relationship with those who joined his realm so willingly.  but as the god read through her file, assessed her memories, and considered the possibilities, he understood that the only out from such pain was death.   the real tragedy of living, he supposed.    ❛     you’ve lived a difficult life, summer rose.   as such, your faults are outweighed, and i would not punish you for any of them.  elysium is reserved for heroes, the true do-gooders of society.   this... salem.   it says you tried to stop her?     ❜

    his head cocked, brow furrowed.  he was not familiar with this woman, but there were many conflicts he found himself unfamiliar with.    ❛     as such, it seems fit that your memories will be wiped clean, and i cannot allow you to reincarnate -- but elysium it is.  escort her to the lethe -- you’ll be free of your pain, ms. rose.     ❜

          “ was ... she kind to you ? ”  emerald should know who pyrrha spoke of, whose name the warrior dare not say aloud.

“miss belladonna.”

naoko kuroki gives a deep, respectful bow - audible clangs of her weapons on her person are nothing new to the huntress, though she hopes it doesn’t intimidate the faunas. of course it wouldn’t. it’s not as if she didn’t know strife - but, first impressions meant a lot to the girl. she stands upright, posture straight, eyes attentive at the other.

“thank you for giving me this opportunity. i hope not to disappoint you,” she begins, hands lacing together behind her back before taking a single step forward. “my name is naoko kuroki. it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance - please, if there is anything you need, just call for me.”

terra has a crush on saphron dont tell anyone

     ❛     as long as no one tells terra i have a crush on her, too.     ❜

     ❛     i promise everything’s gonna be fine, ma.   hazel and em are busy finding you a doctor, so they’ll be gone at least an hour.     ❜     mercury knew it was risky, but the town was small and the local militia basically non-existent.  summer deserved a day out with some hot food, and that was why mercury had snuck her from their inn and across the street to a cafe.   he could take care of her, and would do anything to keep her safe -- a fact he wished hazel would acknowledge at least once.

    holding her arm, mercury guided her into the cafe and helped her sit at a table tucked into the corner.   for a moment, he attempted to look over the menu but the number of strange coffee flavours and amalgamation of french and english words let him confused, so he gave up rather quickly.     ❛     you got a favourite kinda coffee?     ❜

          “ i bet you really thought you’d put me in the grave. ”  their glare is menacing, piercing like swords from across the room.  “ now look at you.  bloody and alone.  with no family who loves you to save you. ”  fall reaches down to harshly grab raven’s face with human hand and force her to look in their eye.  “ i have every intention of becoming stronger than humanly possible.  and i won’t let a coward like you get in my way. ”  pausing to compose themself, they grit their teeth before delivering a sharp kick to raven’s ribs.  “ you won’t live through this without feeling the pain of what you did to me a thousand times over. ”

     ... i-i want cookies and snuggles too... !!

          “ YANG ! ”  she yelled, breathing heavily as she darted to the blonde’s side.  adam taurus slipped from the bridge, plummeting into the river’s depths with a misstep in the midst of his rage.  and now that he’d fallen, blake finally had time to focus on xiao long’s well being and bring all of her attention to her beloved partner.  “ yang. ”  belladonna repeated, as if she needed to keep saying her name to make sure she was real and safe.  her vocals were soaked in desperation.  grabbing yang’s hands and taking them into her own, sun - golden eyes gazed solemnly into lilac.  “ i’m — i’m — so glad you’re okay. ”  releasing her teammate’s hands, the faunus’s arms slid around her torso, and she grasped her tighter than anything she’d ever held in her life.  “ yang — ”  ah, here come the tears.  they’ve been locked up for too long.
