        uncertainty manifested itself in little red’s anxious movements ; leather boots swaying back &. forth as she tried to think of anything to say. ‘  would you be mad if qrow didsend me?  ‘  raven already knew, didn’t she ? it was surreal to finally meet yang’s real mom after so many years of CHILDLIKE curiosity. ‘  i just came to talk. i was… wondering about how one would go about joining your tribe ? ‘  

    there is no way the girl wanted to join; she’s too kind, too righteous, too optimistic! ruby rose is exactly like the huntresses portrayed in only children’s story books & raven? raven & her tribe are the VILLAINS of such stories.  ( or at least the elusive, morally incorrect side characters —— whose motives the audience still can’t quite guess yet. )

    “ you’re acting as a SPY, i can feel it. ”  she frowns, but she doesn’t resort to violence. not yet.  “ tell qrow that if he wants to talk to me, he should do so HIMSELF instead of sending CHILDREN. ”

                  ❛❛   w - what do you want   ?   ❞   she does not   MINCE   her words   ——   she keeps it quick, short, straight to the point as her heel rises from the ground.   (   get ready to   RUN   if you must, star-seeker. she brings no peace . she is war itself .   )   her grip tightens upon the hold of her shield   ;   brow creasing as she speaks.   ❛❛   answer me   —   me, i h - have no d   …   desire to fight with   YOU .   ❞

    “ i want your COOPERATION. nothing more. ”  she smiles, trying to come off as simple & sweet  ( keyword: TRYING. )  “ you see, i’ve seen you use your semblance out here —— you got yourself quite the tactical advantage & i’m thinking that when the time is right, you could use that for me. too many of my men have died to stray bullets. ”

“My demeanor? You were the one who started this.”

Was it a childish response? Many might view it as such, but there was the fact that it was true.

“You have never liked me, and while I return the sentiment, surely there are better things you can do with your time than complain about me to my face.”

    “ not at all, miss schnee. i’ve just got too much time on my hands & thought i’d come BOTHER you. ”  that’s not entirely true; raven still has her motives — even for meetings that are seemingly as TRIVIAL as this.  “ & i know you’ve got so much going on, it makes me all the more INSUFFERABLE. ”

did this woman not know that this situation was not new to her ? facing some kind of threat of either kidnapping or poison was almost a rite of passage. weiss had faced one kidnapping attempt, two attempts of poison, not to mention she had been hoarding the memories of ridicule that fell upon her crowned head.

there was no slumbering for the fair captive maiden. — no, she had been listening to the woman chatter. it had been a jumbled mess of nonsense…but it could prove valuable later. opening her dark ocean blues, lashes fluttered, she lifted her chin to face the woman with the ebony locks. ❝ i’m no longer his little girl. now, tell me why i am here. ❞

    “ you sure are demanding for someone in your position — i ADMIRE that in you, schnee. ”  & yet raven won’t tell the young girl ANYTHING; besides, does she not UNDERSTAND what it means to be captive?

    she unsheaths her sword, pointing it downwards towards weiss — but she doesn’t let it touch her; raven wants the heiress ALIVE.  “ unfortunately for you, admiration won’t be enough. —— cooperation, however, is your best bet at leaving unharmed; hell, you may not even WANT to leave. ”

"What's holding you back?"

    & with that, raven’s grip on her weapon is loosened & her defensive stance is dropped. the question has shaken her more than she’d like to admit.

    “ you’re family. ”

[cawbeau]

"It's like you don't have a care or worry in the world."

    “ i DON’T have a  ‘ care in the world, ’ ”  her eyes flicker to her tribe in the distance,  “ — not for you, anyway. ”

Deep Ass Starters.

Sometimes it's hard to get in depth with your muse and their backstory, because you can't figure out how to bring those things up with others. Here are a couple of starters intended to make things a little more personal!

"What's holding you back?"

"I'm not comfortable with this conversation."

"Will you /ever/ be comfortable with this conversation?"

"Let me in sometime!"

"It's not that easy, you know."

"Help me understand."

"It's hard to connect with someone when all they do is push you away."

"Why are you always so cold?"

"Why are you always so happy?"

"Are you really happy now?"

"Who hurt you this badly to make you this way?!"

"What, did your ex mess you up that badly?!"

"Why do you keep fighting it any time you feel?"

"It's a problem, I get it."

"This is all kinds of messed up."

"That's not exactly a good coping method."

"So what happened, with your parents, really?"

"What was your childhood like?"

"Everyone has at lest a little bit of mommy/daddy issues. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"My parents aren't exactly perfect models, either."

"You were bullied? What for?"

"Was it hard? Coming out, I mean."

"You can't just run away all the time."

"You can't just hide all the time."

"Are you still thinking about them?"

"I'm not the enemy here. But this makes me wonder who the real one is for you."

"Is the reason you're so cold and defensive because you feel threatened?"

"How long has it been since you last spoke to them?"

"You never talk about it, why?"

"How come you're so different around them?"

"It's like you don't have a care or worry in the world."

"You seem so perfect. I don't get it."

"What was your ex like?"

"I don't think I was ever good enough for them."

"Are you not comfortable being intimate?"

"Why don't you feel comfortable being intimate?"

"Letting someone see you that vulnerable, it's a scary thing."

"Are you scared of being hurt?"

"Have you ever been taken advantage of?"

"Why are you afraid of saying I love you?"

"I never understood how someone could say those words so easily."

"You're hurting others the way you've been hurt in the past, don't you think that's ironic?"

"You use people to make yourself feel better."

"I'm scared of being used again..."

"Losing someone isn't easy, but you're making it harder than it needs to be."

"How long has it been since you lost them?"

"You're too attached."

"I'm not attached, I'm just comfortable with what I'm familiar to."

"Maybe the real reason you're so controlling is because, deep down you'd rather have them in your grasp than lose them."

"Why did you ever break up?" / "Why did we ever break up?"
