"So I'm not going to lie I never qualified 'porridge' as a food that could taste like anything but poverty and grit, but, you've proved me wrong." [in the adopt the ragged teen verse AKA the home verse]

“Thank you?” Tai said, amused, ladling more porridge and honey into Mercury’s bowl with a generous hand. “I’m glad you like it. It’s a nice warming, filling breakfast. Do you want some fruit to go with it?” 

He found it incredibly satisfying to watch the kid eat, eager to see some meat on his bones and that lost and desperate look to fade from his eyes.

"Has anyone ever told you you have terrible people skills? No? They should, don't talk to Emerald, ever again."

Tyrian cackled, circling around Mercury, yellow eyes wide. “Me? Bad people skills?” He stood straight, putting one hand elegantly to his own chest, adopting a wounded expression. “No one has ever claimed such a thing about me! I am the soul of courtesy, the very soul!!” 

He burst into a mad laugh, leaning back far enough that he seemed likely to topple over backward at any moment, his tail arched up behind him. “Of COURSE I must now stay away from Emerald if you decree it so! I would not be so DISCOURTEOUS!!” 

He jerked forward, smirking at Mercury, his tail weaving from side to side behind him like a cobra ready to strike. “Not a peep.”

"Em, I'm not gonna lie, things are getting seriously fucked up around here."

Emerald rolled her eyes. “I guess we’re not in Mistral anymore,” she snapped, then sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. “It’s not like I don’t agree with you.... but what are we supposed to do about it?

“ show them what you’re made of, screw them. ”

Raven glanced at the silver-haired boy. “I don’t need to prove myself to anyone.”

"Alright, let's tell each other secrets about ourselves. I'm going to go first: I. Hate. You."

The childish outburst only got a slight raised eyebrow from Arthur. “Unless you have anything useful to tell me or important to ask -both of which I doubt- go bother your green-haired playmate. I have work to do.”

❛ What if there isn’t a happy ending at all ? ❜

Determination flashed in Ruby’s eyes. “But what if there is? I can’t give up. I won’t give up until that happens.”

Poor Unfortunate Souls

Qrow shifted before the house came into sight, ambling down the road. He knew Marcus in passing. But then, he knew most people, especially the worst people. However, it was what he had to do to keep the world safe, to keep his nieces safe and out of this war a little longer. He knocked on the door and the assassin squinted at him a moment, going slightly pale as he stepped aside. Qrow knew his reputation, had cultivated it carefully over the years to make sure the people he loved couldn’t be touched by his work for Ozpin.

“I ain’t here for anything like that,” he said, glancing around the house. He spotted a boy, probably the same age as Yang, but turned his attention back to Marcus. It was surprising the assassin had a child, given his demeanour. “Got anything decent to drink around here? I haven’t seen a decent bottle of liquor in days.” His demeanour and posture were casual, lazy even, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. He glanced over at the boy. 

“Hey, kid, what’s your name?”
