⚓︎ MERMAIDS ⚓︎ → Arctic and Cold Water

unlike the other species of mermaids, arctic mermaids have blubber and very smooth tails that can sometimes get mistaken for other aquatic animals. they are both prey and predators, often hunting fish alongside seals but are often prey to certain whales if resources run low. they’re quiet and shy, however very friendly towards the other wildlife. they interact rarely with humans, preferring to remain hidden in the snowflake kissed water.

“ This is nice. Quiet. ”

To be honest, Whitley was relieved to hear his sister’s comment. Coming to such a simple and cheap place wasn’t entirely his best idea. It wasn’t exactly up to the Schnee standard, but the sweets had been so nice.. And Ruby had spoken so highly of it for whatever reason.

“It’s quaint.” Which in itself wasn’t an insult. Just… different. “One of sister’s teammates recommended it for me. It’s simple, and very cheap.” Remarkably so. He was still shocked by the all too low price. That, however, hadn’t been the reason Whitley had suggested it. They’d been passing, and it seemed quiet. It looked nice enough. Plus… sweets.

It also got them off the streets and away from the apparent ‘pride’ celebrations. He hadn’t been brave enough to inform father about that. He could already imagine father’s rage.

“I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Even if the sweets are rather simple.”

To say Winter was simply surprised at her brother’s choice in venue would be an understatement. Whitley Schnee didn’t often accept anything less than the best. Like everyone in their family, he strove for perfection, for quality. Winter had expected him to suggest somewhere like The Garden, but he instead had pointed out a ‘quaint’ cafe they were passing by.

Winter herself had been a little skeptical of the shop - with such inexpensive items on its menu, the quality couldn’t be very high - but she’d been pleasantly surprised by what she bought. The muffin wasn’t anything extraordinary (in terms of looks or tastes), but its simplicity was nice. Not too dry or dense, nor under/overcooked. 

“Interesting,” Winter mused to herself, unaware that Whitley had a friendly acquaintanceship with any of Weiss’ teammates. Her gaze fell upon the cafe’s stained glass windows that blurred her view of the street. Pride was being held that week - something Winter was indifferent to. On one hand she supported the event (seeing as it celebrated a community she was discretely apart of), but the closed off streets and sidewalks full of rainbow-clad people were a little annoying.

“So, how have you been?” She asked before taking a sip of her white pear tea.

I can’t lose Ironwood. I’ve barely scratched the surface of the approval I need from him.

Ruby: It's a party game...it's not like serious frustration.

Ruby: Yeah! He just followed us up here a little while ago and it's awesome! He's like second dad!

Ruby: Wait, do you know my uncle??

Winter: I cannot say it has been a pleasure talking to you, Miss Rose, but I'm afraid our conversing will need to come to an end. Please only contact me in the future if you have a specific, urgent question regarding the party or if it is an emergency.

Winter: Effective now.

Ruby: Cuz it usually means they're happy?

Ruby: I call lotsa people cute though!

Ruby: My sister is cute when she plays with Zwei. Blake's cute when she plays with her kitty. Ren and Nora are just cute all the time! And even Uncle Qrow is cute when he's helping one of his students!

Winter: You said she would look cute because she'd be frustrated. That does not sound like 'happy' to me.

Winter: I'm sorry, but did you just say Qrow?

Winter: As in Qrow Branwen?

Ruby: Well, I mean, everyone kinda does. But it's Weiss's birthday, and i was trying to make an argument for playing the game, so I used her as an example!

Ruby: Heck, it wouldn't make much sense to you if I used Nora, right? I don't think you've met her...

Winter: Why would I care if my sister looks cute while playing a game?

Winter: It seems to me that during your rambling you forgot who you were speaking to and are now unsuccessfully trying to cover up your mistake of calling my sister cute.

Ruby: Its fun cuz people look silly trying to find the board! Sometimes they walk in the completely wrong direction and you have to get everyone to move outta the way so they don't get stabbed. And Weiss would look super cute getting all frustrated! And yeah, it's not so much fun getting laughed at, but everyone laughs at each other, so it's okay.

Ruby: Oh, and Sun is mine and Blake's friend. I don't think he'll be there.

Winter: ...I see.

Winter: So a strong reason you would like to play this game at the birthday function is because my sister would look cute while playing it?

[eldestschnee]

Text // Ruby&Winter

Ruby: See? You're already helping! I think the arcade let's you book rooms for...functions.

Ruby: Darn. It's when you blindfold someone and they have to try to walk over to a picture of a donkey and pin it's tail on. It's so much fun! We don't let Sun play anymore though...

Winter: I don't see how that would be 'fun' exactly, nor do I know who this Sun is.

Ruby: Stuff like should I book a place, or just surprise her at her apartment? How do I make fancy food? Are we too old for pin the tail on the donkey?

Winter: Book a venue.

Winter: You don't. You hire a catering company.

Winter: I'm not familiar with this 'pin the tail on the donkey', but it sounds like something you would be many years too old for.

Ruby: So you'll help?!?!

Ruby: I was thinking maybe the 24th? The 23rd is on a Thursday and I think more of our friends would be able to make Friday.

Winter: For Weiss' sake, I suppose I can offer my assistance.

Winter: What specifically do you need help with?

[eldestschnee]

Text // Ruby&Winter

Ruby: Oh, uhm, we could call it something else? Like a function! Yeah! And it doesn't have to be normal party stuff! Like no loud music or fog machines or anything.

Ruby: Just her friends and family gathered to show she's loved and appreciated?

Winter: I suppose 'function' could work.

Winter: Do you have it planned for the 23rd of August or another date?

[eldestschnee]

Text // Ruby&Winter

Ruby: I don't think so? I mean, I guess it could've happened and I don't remember, but I always wear my helmet! And Yang would be super all over me if I had.

Ruby: I just wanna do something nice for her.

Winter: Never in my life have I ever known my sister to enjoy parties.

[eldestschnee]

Text // Ruby&Winter

Ruby: So...Weiss's birthday is coming up soon, I mean, not soon-soon, but like two months, and I kinda think I know what I'm gonna make her, at least, I'm pretty sure, but that's not what I was gonna ask about, cuz I wanna do it on my own, but I did wanna know if you'd wanna help me throw her a party?

Winter: You want to throw a party.... for Weiss.

Winter: Have you suffered a head injury any time recently, Miss Rose?
