                 Recently, Bakugo had just found a possible potential training spot in Koi. It was very open, with some obstacles in the way, like someone constructed it on their own. But he’s seen no one around every day he’s been to this place. It was convenient because it was far enough from town that he wouldn’t hurt anyone.

                But what he didn’t expect was someone to intervene. He did ask on the Koi network if someone was willing to train with him, but he wasn’t sure if anyone actually saw his request. Maybe this person did? Something was weird about the explosion he just made. Did it bounce off something or rather?

                    ❝ Hey, show yourself! I ain’t got time for the likes of you! ❞  he hollered, waiting for their answer.

@schneeflake

          TRAINING  ON  HER  OWN  COULD  only go so far before it got lackluster and repetitive.  so when an opportunity to train with someone else presents itself, weiss can’t POSSIBLY pass it up.  she spots the boy before he can spot her.  she remains silent to observe his abilities ─ he appears to be creating explosions from his hands, an ability unlike any semblance she’s seen.  it’s almost like yang’s weapon... but  without  the weapon.

she decides it’s finally time to step in.  perhaps this can be beneficial to both of them, she thinks.  he could use targets, and weiss could use practice with her summons.  she inhales, stepping back and conjuring a glyph.  soon enough, she’s manifested a boar and sends it straight in to deflect the explosion with it’s mighty tusks.  success!

 ❝ oh, calm down. ❞  she instructs, stepping out of the shadows with the creature following.  his frustration is amusing, she has to admit.  ❝ you looked pretty dull training on your own, i figured you could use a partner ─ unless you don’t actually plan on hitting anything, that is. ❞

Qrow smirked and let go of the girl before he slumped into the next chair. “I am a man of many secrets, Sugar Spice and Everything Weiss. Besides,” he said, interrupting himself to take a pull off the cup, “It’s early yet.”

He paused, mentally debating whether or not he should add something a little stronger to his cup, but decided that he’d at least wait until he got outside to begin indulging his usual vice. No need to start corrupting the world around him first thing in the morning. His Semblance usually did a good enough job of that.

“You see, there’s this funny thing called walking, kid. Switching forms is tiring, it’s too early to run, and unless Jimmy was holding out on me, teleporting is still too sci-fi for the organization that put a cyborg in charge of their robot army.”

          ❝ UGH. ❞  HER  EYES  ROLL  AS  she brushes off her shoulder once free of his grasp.  she finds her irritation growing, but he  IS  ruby and yang’s uncle and also a trained huntsman, so she makes an  attempt  at controlling herself.  his sarcasm, paired with his  lovely  habit─ reminiscent of weiss’s mother’s─ are making it quite the difficult tasks.  her eyes narrow something fierce as he sips his coffee.  she takes a sip of her own to bite back a nasty comment waiting to slip.

❝ oh, wow.  thank you for the information, maybe you should have taught us at the academy! ❞  her words are  soaked  with her own sarcasm.  ❝ atlas has advanced technology, but even you can’t really think it’s possible.  or maybe your sister sent you here? ❞  her brows knit together, tone almost accusatory.  she knows it’s too good to be true, though.  there’s no way it was possible that a semblance could take people in and out of this city.

❝ so, i’ll just assume you ended up here like everyone else: unwillingly, with no idea how.  does that sound about right? ❞  if anything, maybe his appearance means the others could show up, too...

“We see a storm is coming in, pretending we ain’t scared.”

@schneeflake​

Winds howl and the rain falls in sheets, unusual when you’d expect it to at least be snowy at this time of year. The wind, Kaoru could deal with. It was even part of his name, for crying out loud! The freezing rain that drenched him and the thunder and lightning flashing overhead? Not so much.

Especially when every time the lightning struck, he was filled with terror for some reason. A reason he couldn’t remember, no matter how hard he wracked his brains.

Yelping in fright as another particularly loud clap of thunder sounds, followed almost immediately by an intense flash of lightning the idol swears is just just overhead, Kaoru hastily ducks under a shopfront, clamping his hands over his ears and whining softly as the storm continues on. It’s only when he opens his and meet the concerned gaze of a girl about his age does does his fear get pushed aside somewhat, expression turning to one of mortification. How long had she…?!

“Aaah… to look so pathetic in front of a cute girl…! he mumbles in embarrassment, pushing his sopping hair back from his face and pasting on a grin, trying not to wince as lightning strikes again.

“You shouldn’t be out at the this hour in this weather, Miss. Once it calms down a little, I’ll be happy to walk you home~”

If it ever calmed down, at this rate.

          SHE’S  MORE  ANNOYED  THAN  ANYTHING  when she hears the first rumble of thunder.  the weather report suggested cold temperatures and high winds ─ weiss dressed accordingly to that, opting to leave her umbrella at home.  big mistake.  weiss shivers as a gust of wind blows more rain in her face ─ how annoying! ─ and hugs her jacket around her body as the rainfall turns into a torrent.  it’s pretty clear she’ll have to wait this out somewhere dry, lest she want to end up like she’d just gone swimming.

she spots a storefront that looks like it would provide the shelter she needs and quickly moves under.  she sighs a bit in relief, though she’s still cold.  a few moments go by and weiss realizes she isn’t alone.  casting her glance sideways, she sees a boy who hasn’t appeared to notice her yet.  he’s...  scared?

weiss knows it’s pretty common to be afraid of a storm.  she  also  knows when someone’s trying desperately to cover up a fear.  its apartment the moment his attention shifts to her and his demeanor changes completely.  normally, such behavior would be off-putting, but weiss can’t help but feel a bit sorry for him.

❝ i happen to agree with you ─ this weather is terrible, and neither of us should be out here. ❞  she nods.  ❝ storms are NOT enjoyable.  it would have been nice for the forecast to predict this. ❞  a scoff ─ never one to avoid complaining, she is.

❝ it’ll pass, hopefully soon, and i’ll be happy to accept your offer.  walking in pairs is much nicer, yes? ❞  her hope is to relax him a bit by providing company.  that usually helps people, especially social ones!  ❝ you’re... not too fond of storms, are you? ❞

Wanting to keep his investments to a minimum, the physical space for GIT Help was pretty small. The storefront didn’t actually have anything for sale; Natsuno was using it as a workspace, and had it set up as such. The only additional rooms were a break room with its own bathroom, and a locked store room where Natsuno kept equipment and materials not currently in use.

Most of his initial expenditures had been on the tools of the trade, and even then he’d kept his purchases on the less-flashy side; he didn’t want to deplete his emergency funds too much, nor did he want his business to stand out as something worth robbing.

He was sitting at a work bench with a customer’s laptop, around 7pm, when he heard the front door open.

“What’s up?” Natsuno asked, not looking away from what he was working on. He could multitask, but he preferred to keep his eyes on one thing, and his ears on the other, if at all possible.

          IF  THERE’S  ONE  THING  WEISS  hates to admit, it’s when she’s gotten LOST.  her day’s been one unfortunate event after another, leaving her with a dead phone and at the wrong plaza.  she’d always known public transportation could be a real  PAIN  but had never experienced it until the city of koi.  she almost finds herself wishing she still had the luxury of being a call away from a personal cab... 

no no.  weiss shakes the thought away.  she refuses to think like that again ─ old habits just die hard sometimes, she justifies!  but none of that matters now.  what matters is her poor sense of direction and the fact that her phone is dead ; it’s also later in the evening, and nothing is familiar...  she’s quite disappointed in herself, but she’ll save the wallowing once she’s home.

for now, weiss scans the area for a venue that could be of use to her.  mostly restaurants and retail stores, nothing that could help...  until she spots a smaller storefront that she would have easily missed during the day.  it’s nothing catchy, nothing impressive.  weiss thinks that it could DEFINITELY use some sprucing up, but for now, it might be her only option.  she swallows her pride and enters.

❝ hello. ❞ she greets, casting a wary glance towards the man behind the computer.  she’s never really liked asking for help...  ❝ what is it you do here, anyway..?  i seem to have gotten myself... lost.   i was wondering if you could provide any directions.  my phone’s dead ─ useless little thing, it is ─ and the public transportation isn’t the most reliable around. ❞

     oh.      oh how strong the desire was to just– just GET OUT OF THERE.      to just activate his quirk and fling himself up into the air, not caring where he landed so long as it was SOMEWHERE ELSE.      first, he manages to get himself lost…       then, he’s going to DEFINITELY ( especially at this point, he’s accepted that factor ) be late for dinner.      and finally, todoroki will have to see just what a mess he– izuku, that is, was.      midoriya tries to thank her for giving him the napkins she had on her, but all he can manage is a meek-sounding squeak that WAS supposed to be a ‘ thanks ‘.      ❝ it.. probably won’t matter. i’d just rather get home as soon as i can, shower so my hair won’t be such a sticky mess, and then do laundry since i’ll definitely need to, now. ❞      that, and the steadily-building pile of used shirts was starting to look a little daunting.       well, at least the pretty girl hadn’t laughed at him when his drink at exploded in his face, right ? that was a plus, and the young hero is pretty thankful for that.      ❝ huh ?      you– you don’t need to buy me a new one, really ! i mean, i–i uh, i really appreciate that you’d go out of your way like that for me, but you really don’t have to.      actually– i know we just met and all but ! i’m sure he’d like to thank you for helping me, and so would i… there’ll probably be enough dinner for a third person. ❞      midoriya clamps his mouth shut as he realizes just what he’s done.      she… wouldn’t see it as creepy, right ?      ❝ i mean !      you don’t need to, really– i don’t want to make you uncomfortable since technically we’re strangers and all, but i really want to pay it back and that’s kinda… all i have to offer currently, haha. ❞      he takes a moment to finish cleaning his face up, expression screwing up as he thinks– even mumbling to himself some as he contemplates. would todoroki maybe like a treat ? it wouldn’t hurt to bring him one.      ❝ maybe todoroki-kun would like one.. a–a pastry, i mean. would you maybe help me pick one out ? i’m really bad at buying things for people.. i can get one for you, too, if you’d like ! ❞

          SHE  HAS  TO  COMMEND  HIM  for being so concerned over his roommate ─  it makes up for his...  lack of coordination.  at  LEAST  he wants to make amends, which is more than many others would.  she assumes it’s because they know each other  prior  to arriving at the city...  either that, or this boy just has a naturally kind heart.  maybe both.  either way, it’s a trait weiss respects. she feels a bit bad that he’s still so worried.  she offers another sympathetic smile, hoping there won’t be  too  much trouble once he returns.  weiss briefly considers taking out myrtenaster and using wind dust to act as a quick - dry solution...  but he probably doesn’t want anymore attention drawn to him ( and, quite frankly, she doesn’t either ) so she quickly .  

instead, she listens as he rambles on a bit more.  she almost interrupts him to  INSIST  she replace his drink, but his next offer catches her by surprise.  her eyes widen just a bit more and her smile softens into an expression of surprise ─ a pleasant surprise.  contrary to his assumption, the invitation doesn’t have weiss feeling uncomfortable at all.  in fact, she feels... happy.

it’s the first time someone’s invited her spontaneously out of kindness.  not because of her money or name ─ but a return for a favor.  weiss’s smile soon returns, brighter than before.

❝ that’s very kind of you, though i promise you shouldn’t feel that you owe me. ❞  she assures,  ❝ i haven’t had the chance to meet many people here, so it would be nice.  only if i won’t be intruding, anyway.  i’d hate to make things awkward between you and your roommate. ❞  she reminds ─ she’d hate to be the reason tension grew instead of subsided. 

❝ don’t be ridiculous! ❞ she scolds gently,  ❝ i can’t hardly expect you to buy me one.  besides, you already wouldn’t let me replace your drink. ❞ weiss chides but it’s all in good fun.  she spins on her heels to enter the cafe once more, beckoning for her new companion to follow.

❝ my name is weiss, by the way.  i happen to be good at picking things out, so, let’s see... ❞ blue hues scan the glass case before returning up, ❝ let’s start with flavors.  do you happen to know which he prefers?  something sweet, salty?  perhaps he’s a picky eater? ❞

it  appears  there’s  little  to  no  seating  left  in  the  cafe.  when  aoko  noticed  a  white-haired  woman  peeking  around.  there’s  no  indication  anyone  else  will  let  her  sit  down…so  why  not?  bandaged  hands  wave  back  &&  forth  for  her.  “there’s  a  spot  right  here,”  cough.  no  one  wants  to  drink  coffee  standing  up.  her  cardigan  is  far  too  lovely  to  spoil.  

         SLENDER  DIGITS  SECURE  HER  CUP  of coffee as blue hues scan for an available seat.  she’d arrived later than usual and it appears the building has  just  reached capacity.  a sigh passes her lips ─  she’ll have to stand,  or finish up her walk to work to enjoy her drink . . .  she’s about to admit defeat,  until someone’s voice reaches out to her.  an invitation. 

a smile graces her features.  the stranger appears kind enough ─  weiss doesn’t get a malicious  vibe from them like some...  others.  she doesn’t hesitate in joining them at the table,  setting her coffee down to smooth out her coat. 

❝ thank you,  i appreciate it.  i was starting to worry i wasn’t going to be able to enjoy my drink. ❞  she scoffs a bit,  but her smile quickly returns.  she notes her savior’s choice of beverage ;  tea,  just like blake.  the memory draws upon warmth within the girl’s chest.

❝ what sort of tea are you drinking? ❞  weiss inquires in an attempt at friendly conversation,  ❝ my name is weiss,  by the way.  it’s a pleasure to meet you. ❞

helllo friends! i know i’ve been pretty out of the groove for a bit, but i’m trying to get back into the swing of things and catching up with replies and whatnot! 

i’ve also been working on some major things for weiss’s blog! they’re still a work in progress, but i’ve made some important pages to detail things about her.

firstly, i’ve been working on a page for people who are unfamiliar with rwby but would like to know more about weiss’s canon before arriving to koi. it can be found here! it contains basic summaries about her world and will give some insight about weiss, the things she references, and just basically where she comes from! hopefully this can make threading easier for those unfamiliar with her?

i’ve also worked on a page specifically for koi!weiss canon ─ events and such specifically for her. this is here. like i said, both these things are still kinda works in progress, but they’re presentable now. i hope. i’ll be doing another starter call after i catch up with some more things (if u ever wanna plot tho hmu?) &&  just thought i’d update people and let ppl know about the new pages i’ve been working on! i’ve still got lots more planned to add, too, like a detailed biography && relationships page (finally).

love u guys ♥

* ⟡┊ CURIOSITY WAS TRULY getting the better of him in this new place he had magically ended up in a new city, a city he couldn’t seem to leave, but such a thing was okay as he looked through all the windows of the shops, seeing the many things he really wanted but he had little knowledge of the currency in this place - He always had to rely on his allies in the army for such things since he was just from a small little beast settlement in the mountains, so he was sheltered. After a bit of looking though he had his eyes glued to a particular store, filled with cute accessories and shiny things, things he easily saw value in

His tail wagging wildly as he looked around for a bystander to ask for help as to how to buy things in this place, Quickly picking a random girl out of the crowd and grabbing her arm with a smile on his face as his ears stood straight up, hoping that she could help him with his “problem”

“ Hey ! Do you know how the money works in this place ? I wanna buy something from that shop - “ He quickly points to the shop in question, looking back to the window where he saw the item her had wanted and then back to the woman he had stopped “ – But, since I just ended up in this place, I have nothing … “ His ears lowered a bit to show his disappointment but his smile still remained, he perked up one more though

“ So, If you help me I’d owe you one ! I could do anything for ya “

           ❝ HEY ! ❞  HER  INITIAL  REACTION  IS  sharp as she feels someone tug at her arm perhaps a bit  ruder  than she intends but hey ─ !  one can never be too careful!  she immediately turns to face the culprit,  icy hues bearing irritation as she’s ready to take more drastic measures if they turn out to be necessary.  fortunately,  misunderstanding  seems to be the backbone of the situation.  as soon as she meets the eyes of the stranger,  weiss finds herself relaxing slightly.  she first notices the ears and a small part of her wonders if this someone could be from her own world but the small hope is immediately dashed when she catches sight of a tail ─  the faunus of remnant only bore one animal trait,  debunking her original assumption.  regardless,  the stranger’s body language and bright eyes are anything but threatening or malicious.  weiss feels a pang of guilt for snapping at him initially. 

her head tips slowly to the side as she hears his request.  years ago,  weiss would scoff at the idea of giving ANYONE some money.  but she can relate to his situation ─  her own money that she came with was limited,  and she’d been made to find her own source rather quickly.  she can’t imagine someone ending up here with nothing at all...   besides,  he seems innocent enough.  either that,  or he’s a REAL good actor.  she’s wary,  but decides to reserve judgement.

❝ well,  you’ll need a  JOB  for steady income... ❞  she informs.  just where did he come from,  exactly..?  ❝ but,  you’ve just arrived,  you said?  with nothing? ❞  she follows his gaze to the store and sighs,  ❝ ...what is it you need?  PERHAPS  i can try and help,  but in return,  you’ll have to promise to find a place in this city.  it’s essential! ❞

( SISTER DEAREST. ♡ // schneetxt‌ )

As the receptionist returned wide eyed, Winter could feel her heart take off. Clearly Weiss had given the okay, which left one thing:

How was she going to react?

Hardly one to get nervous, she felt her hands start to sweat a tiny bit. Though, she wasn’t really surprised that her little sister had gotten herself into the modeling business. She always had the spotlight as a child, and most certainly had the looks to succeed. Pursing her lips, she followed the woman to Weiss’ quarters. 

The receptionist opened the door, giving her the green light to enter. She doesnt stay too long, just enough to close the door behind her. Standing before her, was her Weiss. Her Weiss. No tricks, no strings, just her baby sister. For the first time in a long while, she felt a lump in her throat. As Weiss’ arms wrapped around her, Winter found it almost impossible to move. A rainbow of emotion coursed through her veins, all ranging from relief, all the way to an intense need to correct her on how to properly address her. 

Keep reading

          SHE  FEELS  OVERWHELMING  EMOTION  BLOSSOM  within as she feels winter’s arms wrap around her,  completing the embrace.  she feels  safe  encased in her sister’s embrace ;  a security only winter could ever provide.  the circumstances surrounding winter’s arrival ─  and the knowledge in the back of her mind that winter would be TRAPPED here,  too ─  aren’t enough to derail weiss’s pure joy in seeing someone that means so much after so long.  she can’t really tell how long the moment lasts and,  quite frankly,  doesn’t care.  the moment could last the rest of the day and weiss would feel just as content from start to finish.

but all good things end,  and the same holds true here.  the embrace finally breaks and weiss takes a slight step back,  squaring her shoulders and straightening out her back in order to regain some proper posture.  any other time,  she  MAY  have been more mindful of how she presented herself,  but...  the moment was simply too precious for weiss to care.  she gazes up at winter as she finally speaks,  explaining what she could...  it has weiss recalling how she felt upon arriving.  confusion,  disbelief,  loneliness...  and in that moment,  she made a mental oath to NOT let winter have that same experience. 

she listens to winter speak of home and a sudden sadness sweeps over her.  of course winter wouldn’t know the full details of the battle for the relic.  of COURSE the only thing winter knew about was her being forced home.  there wasn’t any way father would let anyone know of her disappearance,  and she can’t imagine anyone had seen what went on inside the academy that night.  her gaze falters just thinking about it. 

❝ i see... ❞  she muses,  allowing herself time to take it all in.  atlas...  falling?  despite her personal issues with the place,  she can’t help but fret for the safety of it’s citizens,  and the safety of remnant in general.  ❝ unfortunately,  there’s still a  lot  about this place i don’t understand.  frustrating,  i know! ❞  she scoffs a bit.  winter’s touch,  though,  helps lifts her spirits back up just a bit. 

❝ er,  about that... ❞  she flushes,  thinking back to the night she made her escape.  how would winter feel...?  ❝ oh winter,  it was horrible!  father got angry,  named  whitley the heir,  and threatened to keep me locked away!  so...  i left.  i just COULDN’T stay.  i took what i could,  and i went to find you... but you had already left mistral by the time i got there.  i met up with my team,  and there may have been an incident regarding the relic there...  and after all that,  i ended up here.  alone. ❞  oh,  so much to explain...  her emotions are a whir,  but at least there’s one thing weiss is sure of.

❝ i’m just really,  REALLY  happy to see you here.  it’s been so long winter,  i...  i missed you so much. i wasn’t sure if i... ❞  she pauses,  gaze falling once more.  she can hold it in no longer ─  a single tear forms at the corner of her eye.  ❝ i wasn’t sure if i’d ever see you again. ❞

                    “ Doooon’t chase it, doooon’t chase it “ Kit’s eyes follow a squirrel up a tree, “ don’t chase it. “ 

              The leaves rustle and Kit can’t take it anymore, he runs at the tree and tries to scramble up but can’t quite get his limbs to work like he wants. So he falls back on his butt before climbing up too far. He stares up into the tree wide eyed where the little rodent had disappeared watching to see if it reappeared or not. The tree is still and he doesn’t hear anything scampering around the limbs up above. He’s lost it, and he knows if he can get his body up into the tree then he can get to the squirrel. He picks himself back up and jumps at the tree again trying to wrap his arms and legs around the trunk but doesn’t last long before he falls back again on his ass. Then he hears it and sees the little form of his prey appear back on the end of a branch higher in the tree. Its too far too jump, the branch too small for him to use in the first place, so he’s lost his prey for the mean time.

               As he starts to settle down a scent catches his attention, its a softer scent than anything he’s smelt before. Fresh and sharp almost like the air during winter in the mountains, its not strong but its a calming familiar scent that he hadn’t expected to get in the city. When he finally turns his gaze away from the tree he sees her for the first time and intakes a sharp breath. Kit had been so preoccupied with his little futile hunt that he hadn’t even noticed her at all.

                    “ You, did you see that “ he can feel the heat of shame lighting up all the way to his ears, “ you didn’t, did you? “

@schneeflake

          WELL,  THERE’S  SOMETHING  SHE  NEVER  expected to see.  her usual walk through this particular park was never anything  too  exciting.  typically,  she didn’t pass by many people.  it’s quiet and quaint ─  one of the many reasons weiss enjoys walking through it.  it’s a good space to clear her mind and relax after a day’s worth of training and work.  today,  however,  has presented weiss with an anomaly,  trying to wrap her head around what she was seeing.  a grown,  tall man chasing after...  is that a squirrel?  weiss can’t help but stop and stare ─  how rude!! ─  as the tree fails to support his weight and he tumbles to the ground.  she feels a pang of guilt that she wasn’t able to summon a glyph in time to break his fall.  had she been prepared,  maybe she could have helped...  then again,  this behavior  probably  shouldn’t be encouraged. 

her thoughts come to a halt as she’s addressed.  her face feels hot ─  it’s EMBARRASSING that she’d been caught in the act of staring at a stranger!  she’d definitely scold her teammates for doing the same.

❝ er,  sorry,  but i did... ❞  she admits,  her tone almost sympathetic,  ❝ was that a...  squirrel you were chasing up that tree? ❞  her head tips a bit to the side.  she’s not TRYING to be rude but she can’t  NOT  ask!  ❝ and besides,  no matter your reason for climbing a tree,  that was  F A R  too dangerous.  that fall looked bad,  are you hurt? ❞

If there was one thing he was glad about ending up in Koi for, it was that its coffee was a dramatic improvement over any of the stuff he could get in any of the places he’d been in Remnant. Seriously, the stuff he could get here was miles better than anything he’d paid top dollar for at some pretentious Atlesian place. It came in a bigger cup, too.

Having finally acquired his miniature vat of coffee, Qrow turned around to leave, only to catch a glimpse of a very familiar-looking head of hair. It made sense, he supposed, given that Winter seemed able to locate her across any distance, but there was still something shocking about recognizing people in this strange new world.

Adopting his best feigned stumble, Qrow all-but crashed into the girl and looped one arm over her shoulder.

“Well, well, well, long time no see, Weiss-cream cone.”

          OUT  OF  ALL  THE  THINGS  that could have happened at her favorite café that day,  this  was the LAST thing weiss would have guessed.  her initial reaction is to respond defensively :  nothing too extreme ─  she’s in  PUBLIC  after all!! ─  but something enough to let this hooligan know that his advances weren’t welcome.  but...  before she can do much of ANYTHING,  a familiar voice meets her ears. 

almost instantaneously,  weiss relaxes. her wavering opinions on the man aside,  there’s something oddly relieving in seeing another familiar face in the city.  even if that face is the very man who has brawled with her sister...  it gives weiss a bit of hope that her loneliness is no longer.  regardless,  she composes herself enough to speak.  

❝ nice try,  but yang beat you to that one long ago. ❞  weiss states,  the smallest hint of amusement in her tone.  she crosses her arms and rolls her eyes,  leaning away from the tall man in an attempt to wriggle free of his grasp.  he appears to have stumbled,  but he doesn’t smell like alcohol,  as usual... 

❝ i didn’t take you as a coffee person of all things. ❞  she remarks with pinched brows.  there’s nothing negative in her tone,  though,  despite her cold words.  she’s surprisingly unsure of what to say to qrow ─  she hadn’t spent much time with him at all and while their first meeting wasn’t great,  she has to admit she found a bit of respect for him during their battle for the relic  (  or, what she can remember of it... ). 

❝ ... how did you end up here,  anyway? ❞

@schneeflake liked this {x} for a starter!!

When was the last time she was in a city, with no target to kill? When had she last had freedom of her own? Did she even remember how she liked to spend free time? As if those memories mattered, in the end. Nonetheless, she needed to find some method of filling her free time. The choices at hand seemed limitless, even if there was no way out of this city. An inability to decide was making her restless.

She had wandered her way into a fashion store. Clothes were one of those interests she kept to herself. Her more girly nature was one of several parts of herself she had given up, when she became an assassin. To throw herself away was how she had survived. It was only recent that she had begun to think differently. Her outlook on life hadn’t quite changed yet, but… a certain astronaut wasn’t around to drag her by the hand, so she needed to do it herself.

That was why she found herself in the dress aisle. She had pulled one off the rack, holding it up to herself. It was cute, she thought. But did it suit her? She still couldn’t picture herself wearing something like this. She froze upon realizing another girl was in the aisle. Was she looking at the dress? White seemed like it would suit her better, anyhow. Instinctively, Maki lowered the dress away from herself.

“…Do you want this? I was just looking.”

          IT’S  AN  ODD  DAY  WHEN  she’s got more free - time than work - time.  between her new career and training on the side,  the majority of her days are spent occupied.  not that weiss minds,  really.  she’d probably be driven insane if she had less to do.  that said,  she can still appreciate the occasional day where all she has to worry about is training in the morning  ( just because she’s no longer slaying monsters on a daily basis doesn’t mean she’ll allow herself to slack in that area ). 

she ends up trekking through some clothing stores after dining in for some coffee and pastries.  it’s exhilarating to spend her  OWN  money rather than rely on what she had been born into.  most of her casual clothes come from work nowadays,  but she quite enjoys taking this time to herself,  too!  she wanders to look for some dresses to wear under winter coats ─  something casual but classy.  blue hues flicker towards the other girl in the isle,  who appears to be glancing over a particularly nice dress.  she looks...  hesitant? 

and then she’s being spoken to.  weiss looks up to meet the girl’s gaze and suddenly feels a bit bad.  weiss is ─  by no means ─  an expert on other people,  but something tells her that this stranger might need a bit of a helping hand!  weiss smiles and walks down the isle,  stopping a bit before the other and looking over the dress.

❝ it is a nice dress,  i have to admit.  and in a color i frequent,  as well. ❞  she comments,  ❝ but you seem interested,  too.  besides,  i think it would suit you wonderfully.  honest! ❞  her smile remains,  genuine and a bit excited.  ❝ oh,  you could totally find a cardigan to go with it!  ❞  ideas form in her mind already to complete the perfect outfit for the girl,  ❝ i think you should totally try it on. ❞
