         ‘  um, hi ---- are you okay ?  ‘  summer looked penny over ( to the best of her ability ) before offering a hand.

         ‘  well ........ i do have questions,  ‘  her gentle voice fills the quiet room once she’s certain salem has no more of her own to say. yara steps closer to the front of the room, leaning against the large round table rather than even attempt to bow or curtsy.  ‘  i just -- you’re above me, know magic, have the means to promise something extravagant. but you’re still a person. does it ever get tiring, keeping up appearances ?  ‘

Qrow also wished he was there, for several reasons. Surprisingly, drinking wasnt nearly as high on that list as seeing what Clover wasted was like. It was better for everyone if Qrow stayed away though.

Until he got that last message.

         although her words sounded cold, summer’s face remained entirely expressionless. wide pale eyes took in the sights around her ; tall trees and mountains lining patch --- like she remembered. what she didn’t remember was the look on tai’s face, scared and twisted like her presence alone caused him physical harm. her cloak billowed at her ankles, once stark white, now tainted with dirt and her own blood.

        ‘  you didn’t find me.  ‘  summer’s gaze followed taiyang as he sunk low to the ground, though still nearly as tall as she was.  ‘  salem --  ‘  rose’s voice wilted,  ‘  i was there for so long. they told me you never looked.  ‘  dark brows furrowed as she spoke, her own tears burning her eyes. he looked broken, almost as much as she felt.   ‘  get up,  ‘  summer commanded, stumbling after a few steps closer.  ‘  get UP ! tell me you didn’t want me found !  ‘

"Before you go, can we just..." Taiyang paused, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "Can we sit down and eat like we're normal, one more time?"

          there’s a distinct pain in taiyang’s voice that qrow has heard far too many times, one that slips into his heart like a thin but jagged knife and twists when the other man all but begs him to stay just a little longer. heartfelt, drawn-out goodbyes have never been qrow’s style–he prefers the quick and dirty method, like ripping off a bandaid, and he has so much on his mind right now that it’s hard to think about anything but leaving.

          qrow is the only one who has always come back. he doesn’t plan on changing that. but this is different, more uncertain, and he can see the way that tai is swallowing his pride to ask for this one last thing before he goes. against his better judgment, the corvid turns to face his closest friend and looks at him with sad eyes, lips drawn into a thoughtful line for several seconds before he offers a slight nod.

          “yeah,” he answers gruffly, trying perhaps a little too hard to mask the way his voice nearly wavers, “of course, tai. i’d like that.”

bornsteel                “ your inability to learn complicated handshakes is tearing this friendship apart. ” FROM ELM pls

              He’d been watching her carefully, trying his best to memorize the movements and order of it all. The poor operative was failing to see the point of having such a complicated handshake. But if it made Elm happy, he’d force himself to learn it, and perhaps even enjoy it just a bit more.  “Perhaps, we could try again?” Words were softly spoken, a hand extending out towards the other. “If thats alright with you.”

Qrow in tears: where did you get that I don’t understand

@bornsteel​ continued from here: 

I think you’re confusing me with the people on your side. Ren thought but had more decorum than to say. He tried his hardest not to even so much as injure other humanoid (because it extended to Faunus too, so just saying human was technically incorrect) beings. Let alone kill them.

Ren watched him as he seemed to struggle to stand, only to fall to his knees, at which point Ren quickened his pace a little and hurried over to kneel beside him, trying to assess the damage. “What happened?”
