"so..." the word hangs in the air as ruby avoids eye contact with weiss, "aaare we going to talk about what happened this morning?" // idk if you have the ask meme there so woe. ruby upon ye
unprompted nonsense | accepting from mutuals only
" i don't see why. " weiss has been avoiding ruby's silver gaze from the moment they both encountered each other in the hallway this morning. it was barely even the hallway—the refugees from atlas were forced to share housing, with many homes being turned into apartments or hostels. her family happened to be sharing a larger home with enough room for the four of them... and a fifth.
qrow branwen. her... SOMETHING. they had still been talking about that when her godfather spiraled and declared them all criminals.
and apparently they weren't the only age gap relationship in this friend group in talks about what they were.
weiss finally takes a sigh and lowers her cup of coffee to finally look at her friend, her team leader again. it was awkward in the moment, and it still is just a little jarring to know her mother and ruby were apparently TOGETHER, but... compared to her father? ruby was a far better choice for her.
" we're both adults, ruby, and... yes, it's awkward, but i'd rather it be you than someone who would hurt her. " the mug is set down and she places a warmed hand from the heat of the drink over ruby's. " just... you're also my best friend. if my mother hurts you, come to me. she's better than she's been in a long time, but i still worry. okay? "
