I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been here but I suddenly started thinking about Emercury and aaaa,,

"That vase actually costs nothing, please put it back down, Em." Roman doesn't even look back at Emerald as she swipes the vase off the shelf.

“How did you-- Hmph... Fine.”

Well, it had been worth a shot. She returns the vase to the shelf and crosses her arms.

Old habits die hard.

Fluorite: Are they able to concentrate easily no matter where they are, or do they need a quiet space with little distracts?

Emerald does prefer quieter spaces with little distractions, especially when she’s trying to use her semblance because it is a stretch for her to use her semblance on more than a few minds at a time or in quick succession. It’s why she tends to stand still when conjuring hallucinations, so she can concentrate as much as possible. She can concentrate in louder environments, but she does get easily irritated when her concentration gets interrupted. Mainly by Mercury. ‘Cus he does it on purpose.

Agate: What or who will your muse protect with their life?

Previously, she would have said Cinder. However, since leaving Salem’s faction and being able to think for herself, she no longer feels such loyalty towards her.

Really, the person she feels closest to is Mercury, and she doesn’t want to lose him no matter how much she denies it. She worries a lot for his safety now that he’s alone with Tyrian.

Given more time to befriend RWBY & Co, she may eventually feel that closeness with them as well. As of right now, the one she’s closest to in the group is Oscar and she doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

“Well, if it isn’t one of the ‘junior detectives’.”

Emerald would scoff lightly, holding up her hands where he could see them. It was to be expected that she would be met with hostility from everyone who knew her involvement in the Fall of Beacon, and she assumed that Sun would be no different. Still, she would smirk faintly.

“Am I under arrest, or not?”

#ultravioletvoleur

I like to imagine at some point they asked Emerald where Mercury was and how it was odd they hadn’t left together and ‘isn’t he your boyfriend or something??’ and she’s just like ‘pFFFF--- NO, he’s not my BOYFRIEND shut uuuppp--’ whilst Yang+Blake and Ren+Nora just give each other side glances like ‘yeah right, she totally likes him’.

When Emerald had first met Roman, she’d never expected that she would come to see such an infuriating guy as the brother she never had. Really however, they had a lot in common. Both of them thieves trying to make a living, with a dose of sarcasm and wit on the side. Really, it wasn’t such a big surprise she had taken to him.

Which is why, after the Fall of Beacon and his apparent death, she had been upset. Perhaps that was when she’d first starting having doubts about whether what they were doing was really right. All of it had lead up to now, with her finally taking control of her own fate and abandoning Salem’s cause - instead joining forces with those who had been her enemies. Moreover, it had lead to something even better than her freedom - seeing her brother figure alive and well, standing in front of her.

After having recently lost the man she had begun to see as a father figure, to see Roman was probably the happiest moment of her life so far - and that was saying something. Without even thinking, she had run over and thrown her arms around him, sobbing into his jacket, which he would probably scold her about later.

“They said you had been killed... I-... Where have you been all this time?”

“If you can’t even get past me, I think you’re beyond exhausted.”

He’s keeping her down with one hand- and he’s hardly trying. His suspicions were right about Emerald’s state, unfortunately. He’s not even entirely sure why-- maybe it’s the older brother in him that frets when someone he considers family is in charge of isn’t well-- but he’s insistent in keeping Emerald in bed. Despite her own wishes to do the exact opposite, of course.

She’d be no good in a fight and no good in any other situation. It was that simple. Probably.

“I have some Vetatin if you need a sleep aid, punk.”

The fact Roman has one of the most common Atlas prescribed sleeping aids is.. interesting, to say the least.

He’d already bullied Mercury into napping? As funny as that image was in her head, she had to wonder how he’d done it.

His next words cause her to grumble. She hated to admit it, but he was right. If she ended up screwing up a mission due to her fatigue, it would be on her head. With a sigh of defeat, she crosses her arms.

“Damn it... Fine. Now get out, I’m definitely not gonna be able to sleep with you sitting there watching me.”

“You’re not in charge of me. I answer to Cinder, not you.” She retorts again, before pausing at the realisation that he had just called her by her name. Not street rat, nor brat. Her actual name. That was weird - he never did that.

She furrows her brow at him before glancing off again. “Ugh... I’m not going to pass out. I’ve gone longer than this without sleep, you know.”

“So what if I am? I don’t want to sleep.” Emerald retorts - a blatant lie. She did want to sleep, but she hadn’t been able to for more than a couple minutes as of late. Things weighed heavy on her mind, despite her attempts to ignore them.

It irritates her that she can’t push past Roman, her sleep-deprived body too weak and yearning for rest. The irritation is evident in her scowling expression, and she eventually stops struggling and simply crosses her arms in defeat.

“I don’t need your help, Torchwick. Why don’t you go steal candy from a kid or whatever it is you do?”
