Ruby knows better now than to blame others for her own actions and choices. perhaps that’s why she wants to remain solitary to bottle up her emotions deep inside her subconscious. She knows what she’s doing was not right. Committing a sin defying the rules the little rose no longer care about such things. no matter how true such a statement may be , ruby couldn’t help but
to feel a little offended. digits become tangled in loose curls as
they’re idly twirled , soft hair wrapping tightly ‘round fingers. “Blake leave it
.” clearly she didn’t want to talk about it. truth hurts &&
blake a mere manifestation of such an emotion of guilt , Ruby still didn’t move, as she laid on the couch her cig dangling careless. The surprisingly gentle touching her hand makes another jolt of tears but she stops herself. “ didn’t know i HAD to be the type to say puns ah really?”
“So what– big whoop, listen kitty I don’t give a damn what uncle qrow thinks i am my own person my own body if i wanna smoke and drink then i will do it despite his or your opinion . but what about my bad habits?” with a thoughtless shrug ruby was not in amood of listening . but that’s generally what comes from fighting and killing so often in the past.It kills your spirts and it shuts you down.
“…If you’re trying to propose me to stop or some shit, it ain’t happening. ”
Pushing away everyone else made nostalgic rush into her mind, hoping no one would succumb to it. The act of cowering made Blake obligated to assist no matter how she rejects it. She can’t stand it, seeing someone breaking themselves in the faunus’ eyes. There’s others way when coping through tragic events even if they leave scars ... that is what he taught her back in Menagerie. Amber hues nearly depict their hint of glowing fury, only raising a hand to knock away that cigarette. It burns, burns a sensitive nose but frustrates in seeing Little Red under its cruel imprisonment. Teeth gritted for a light hiss to vibrate through her throat, raising up the faunus’ tone. ❝ Ruby, you don’t realize what you’re doing to yourself is harming your body further, even putting your teammates in danger. This isn’t a burden you need to carry alone ------------ we’re your friends! ❞
No matter what’s stated, it was all wrong ... wrong to assume the faunus would leave the other hanging. Being left in this pathetic state only felt like Blake was gazing at a mirror. Showing those faults, guilt and regrets over a cowardice trait is natural for her to understand. She’ll swallow everything and make Ruby understand ------------ feline ears twitched mostly from shock. Only once she recalled raising a voice before the blonde who also tried to assist her ... now the tables are turned. ❝ Of course I’m trying to help you quit this habit, Ruby! Do you honestly think committing to these habits will make anything, let alone you, move forward? We can’t have a leader whose allowed herself to be in ruins continue like this. ❞ Sometimes bad things happen, a truth the faunus was taught by her uncle.
