The Spring Maiden... Hell’s bells. Ozpin hadn’t been lying after all. Mind spinning from both the realization and the whiskey he’d consumed, Qrow leaned forward, staring intently at her.
“So. You’re the one.”

“ I’M CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ... ” a plethora stacked over the years , undoubtedly blossomed into a thicket of brambles and twines of ivy . she frowns and the sky turns to grey . the wind turns sharp as her words , as her wit . she has come far and he is proud . “ as well as definitive apprehension . you’re angry , as you have the right to be . but i was hoping we might still talk . ”

@vernoxi / VIA.
“ murder wouldn’t help, anyway. ” he spits. “ no matter how badly i want to kill you, it would end up worse for me. you may as well be i m m o r t a l . ” he wants to strangle her already. “ lucky you. ”
' ... they're not going to let me go, are they. '
the chieftess exhaled a sigh , her fingers massaging her temples in an effort to get rid of the headache that had been bothering her since salem’s followers approached them. raven knew it was only a matter of time until salem would find them , yet they were still able to hide from her reach for the past ten years. it was e n o u g h time to guide vernal &. train her to be strong for when this moment would come.
it felt like it was just yesterday when the corvidae found the girl who had become the new spring maiden &. took her under her wing , sheltering &. training her to become strong , capable of taking care of herself no matter what happened. raven knew how frightened vernal was , how the young woman wanted to stay out of the fight just as much as the chieftess yet it still showed up right at their gate. all they could do was follow through with the plan &. do whatever it takes to escape once more.
❛ no , they won’t. unless we get the relic while they’re distracted with my brother &. his semblance , you’ll have to follow through with the plan we discussed as a last resort. ❜ she lifted her head as her hands fell to her lap , weary features s o m b e r when wide scarlet hues shifted over to her companion. ❛ if worse comes to worse , you run. run as far as you can to get away from all this &. do not stop. do you understand ? ❜

SHE’S DANGEROUS , ISN’T SHE ? give or take a second to pass — - the plant goes from green and lush to curled and gnarled , caving in on itself within seconds . DEAD . GONE . WHAT A WASTE ! but it isn’t a threat ; she’s not significant enough to even hold that . still , his head tips and he makes a face . ( in interest that’s TOXIC at best )
“ ... did the plant really deserve that ? ”
@vernoxi ┊ STARTER CALL .

❝ GRAVE SUGGESTION . accepting / @vernoxi
… PERHAPS NOT , BUT HER SCORN STILL LINGERS . she has given him her trust , and with it he has bent it , twisted it to something undecipherable . where it should have been treasured he had turned blind —— a thought , a comparison , when he knew better . vernal had given him questions as her gift ; her INTELLECT had been bright .
it still is . she’s SHARPER in tone and features than when they last met . the wandering brightness that shone deep in her eyes is muddled now , and replaced by a hardened expression that ozpin cannot entirely read . no , he could , should he desire , but he’s known her for shy centuries now . perhaps not vernal , no , but the power she holds .
her thicket that snags between his ribs and laces through his bones . vernal holds every right to be angry ; ozpin would never deny her that . he never wanted to . but he did , did he not ? his own FAILURE had brought them here . for she is a maiden as much as she is family . trusted . adored . another mistake .
❝ … and yet you hate me . ❞
' i hate you for what you've done. '
❝Many do, my dear. You are not the first, and you certainly will not be the last.❞

There was a stranger running around. His father was out on an assignment, && since his father had given no directives, he’d neatly packed the house up && gone exploring for a while. The mountain range was impassable in some reaches without the faintest hint of handholds.
Of course, that wouldn’t stop a particularly determined traveler - or even one running from something.
&& right now, the girl he was observing trying to climb appeared to be both.
“You’re too far south,” He tells the girl calmly. “You need to head up a kilometer northeast before you can climb without equipment.”
