[....favors? wow he hadn't been expecting that at all. ironwood let out a laugh, and he then walked away from weiss to return to his fireplace.]
I can assure you, Miss Schnee, that I do not need any sort of compensation. I'm a headmaster, and a general, I'm just happy to assist you. I wish that you wouldn't have to run away... but... I know how your father can be.
[totally ruthless.] No, all I ask is that you relax a little bit tonight and just... [he gestured around his home.] Make yourself comfortable for the time being.
[ Weiss wants to ask how he can stand by him if he knows how he can be, a sentiment that's obvious in her expression but she ends up not saying outloud. Ironwood is the one person who stood up for her, who's still willing to stand up for her, she shouldn't drive a wedge there even if she doesn't understand. ]
Thank you-- not just for this. For the party, too. You stopped me from hurting someone and reminded me that I wasn't alone in thinking these things aren't right.
[ Weiss finally seems to accept that he really does understand and goes to take her shoes off, easily shaving 3-4 inches off of her overall height, and heads over to the fire. Despite being a Schnee, she doesn't hesitate to sit on the ground in front of it before even taking her cloak off. Truth be told, she was freezing, and finally feeling like she had cleared that up made warming up her top priority. ]
[ironwood shrugged, putting on a more amused face.]
You made the party far more interesting.
[oh good she was finally starting to relax. ironwood went and sat back at his chair, now watching her form on the floor, in front of the fire. she was going to be staying the night, he might as well make small talk with her.]
Do you have any idea where your friends might be right now?
[ Weiss shook her head, but didn't look back at him. Her eyes were trained on the flame in front of her. It reminded her of the little campfire in Mount Glenn more than the blazes of Beacon- it was warm, but kind even if it wasn't without a looming sense of apprehension. The kind of fire you could have around someone you knew would have your back if you needed it. ]
Father took me before any of them were out of the hospital. The last information Klein was able to provide me was that Ruby and Yang went home and that Blake had disappeared. I don't know where Jaune, Nora, and Ren are... nor Neptune or Sun or any of CFVY.. I don't even know if all of them made it away from Vale safely. [ A brief moment passes before she perks up just a little. ] But, I overheard that you sent an arm to Yang from Father. He was complaining about you being able to send things and he couldn't get his Dust across the border, but it was news. So I know you at least knew where Yang was.
[yes, he really only knew of where yang was. finding her other friends would then become utmost priority.]
That's right, with what happened with Miss Xiao Long I figured it would be best if I sent her something in order to help her recover. She's back with her father right now. Miss Rose was with her, too, but I'm not so sure where she is now.
As for Miss Belladonna... she really is completely off my radar. She must be good at hiding herself. [for her to slip away from him is a pretty big deal.]
So Yang and I are the only ones you know where are.
[ Just to be clear. She knows the CCT is down and his job probably isn't to babysit where her friends are going but she was kind of hoping he'd have some idea beyond 'You two stayed home.' But it's fine. It's more than fine, it's a start. If Ruby started there too, they could track her and find a direction. As for Blake... Blake would find them when she was ready, wouldn't she? ]
That means Weiss Schnee is heading to Pa- [ She sneezes, covering her face with her arms. ] Patch.. [ Maybe she had been colder than she'd thought.. ]
