Cinder: (Swings door open quickly ignoring the note.) My Queen! Those brats have broke into the castle we must stop!
(Pauses while looking at the scene)
Jaune: (His head on Weiss's lap as she runs her fingers though his hair) Alyx was a brat but she still was like family she didn't deserve what that cat did.
Salem: I understand life is usually cruel. Now tell me more about this Curious Cat.
Cinder: WTF?!?
Cinder stalked through the halls and corridors of EverNight Castle. Her twin obsidian blades ready to strike down the intruders... if she could find them. Normally she would have zeroed in on the sounds of conflict and combat, but there was none. The grimm she passed, when she did come across them were just wandering about aimlessly, that was if they weren't sitting or laying down.
So without the sounds of a fierce pitched battle to guide her, Cinder was forced to actually search for the interlopers... who she knew was team RWBY and their friends.
Cinder: This is RIDICULOUS! I must ask my queen for help, to locate these brats.
Cinder made a turn at the next corner and stomped her way toward the throne room. She emerged from one of the side halls into the main corridor and turned towards her destination. Five minutes later she stood there before the large double doors... in total shock.
Cinder: I...
A Beowulf, dressed in a tasteful skirt and blouse ensemble, matched with a set of sensible heels, and topped off with a pearl necklace, and a pair of wire rim glasses... stood before the doors baring her entry.
Cinder: I...
The Beowulf pointed to a sign near the door, well a set of signs in fact. It took ever ounce of her will power to draw her eyes off the figure before her, and look at the signs.
(1) If the doors are closed there is either a meeting or session in progress. Unless it is an EMERGENCY no admittance.
(2) Sessions are by appointment ONLY.
(3) This is a ZERO TOLERANCE work place. Anyone causing a disturbance, or harassing staff will be asked to leave. Failure to do so will cause the authorities to be summoned.
(4) I am the boss, but my secretary is in charge. If she says NO then it's NO. There are no exceptions.
Cinder: Secretary?
The Beowulf nodded its head and using a metal ruler tapped the desk name plate.
Cinder: Grendelsa Grimmsald, Executive Assistant to Doctor Salem Salem?
The Beowulf who Cinder now knew was named Grendelsa nodded.
Cinder: But, I...
Grendelsa: *Grunt like growl*
Cinder: I know I don't have an appointment, but this is an emergency! The castle is under attack! I must speak to Queen...
Grendelsa: *Growl like grunt*
Cinder: I mean Doctor Salem.
Grendelsa pointed to a set of rather comfy looking waiting room chairs, and Cinder knew instantly she had no choice. So she sat down, and after a few seconds wiggled her butt into the plush cushioning getting more comfortable.
Cinder dozed off, and awoke with a start at the sound of the door opening.
Salem: I understand it is quiet the commute so I will have Grendelsa arrange for some accommodations for you, as in my opinion there is a need to have a few more sessions over the next week before I feel confident that we can space them out further. Is that acceptable Ms Schnee? Mr Arc?
Weiss: More than. Thank you for your hospitality, and all your help.
Cinder shot to her feet, her eyes wide in shock. Salem, her queen. Malevolent Evil Incarnate was in a black pant suit, wearing glasses and SHAKING HANDS with the SCHNEE who was holding the hand of the blond wanna-be knight from Beacon!
Jaune: I still don't...
Salem: It's alright Mr Arc. These things take time, and we progress at the pace that you set. There is no rushing this. Your mental health is very important, and with Ms Schnee's support and my assistance we will help you find resolutions.
Weiss: Can we give it a couple more sessions Jaune? I really do think this is good for you, me and us.
Jaune: Okay. I'll try a few more times.
Salem: Excellent. Grendelsa will make all the...
Cinder: WHAT THE FUCK IT THIS!!!!
Salem: Ms Fall. Those types of outbursts are not acceptable!
Cinder: WHAT THE FUCK, SALEM? THEY'RE FROM BEACON! THEY'RE YOUR ENEMIES!
Salem: Lower your voice or you will be escorted out.
Cinder: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!? ARE YOU GIVING THEM THERAPY???
Salem: You were warned Ms Fall. Ms Grimmslad if you please...
/==/
Twenty minutes later Cinder found herself sitting outside of the main gate of EverNight Castle, right next to Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, and Blake Belladonna.
Ruby: You get kicked out too?
Cinder: ...
