The Silver Snowflake

Chapter 7: Mythical Affairs

Penny: No, not you.

She walks through the group and leans her head down to Ruby.

Penny: You!

Ruby: (startled) Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh...

Penny: You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?

Ruby: Uuuum...

Ruby looks over Penny's shoulder while her teammates motion to deny her. You however give a thumb ups.

Ruby: Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?"

Penny: Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys.

Ruby: Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?

Weiss: No - she seems far more coordinated.

Yang: So... what are you doing in Vale?

Penny: I'm here to fight in the tournament.

Weiss: Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?

Penny: (saluting) I'm combat ready!

Weiss: Forgive me, but you hardly look the part.

Blake: Says the girl wearing a dress.

Weiss: (with her arms crossed) It's a combat skirt!

Ruby: (the skirt sister speeds over to Weiss' side) Yeah! (Weiss holds out her hand and Ruby low-fives it)

Weiss: (realization hitting) Wait a minute. If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?

Penny: The who...?

Weiss: The filthy Faunus from the boat!"

Y/n: Clearly she doesn't know him.

Blake: Why do you keep saying that?!

Weiss: Huh?"

Blake: (walking over to Weiss, angry) Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!

Weiss: Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?

Blake: Stop it!

Weiss: Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!

Blake: (growls, clenching her fist) You ignorant little brat!

Weiss: How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!

Blake: You are a judgmental little girl.

Weiss: What in the world makes you say that?

Blake: The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!

Yang: (sliding up to Ruby, looking uncomfortable) Um, I think we should probably go...

Penny: (popping up behind Ruby, smiling) Where are we going?

Weiss: So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!

Blake: That's not what I meant, and you know it!

As Yang and Ruby continue to observe, we finally make it back to our dormroom.

Weiss: I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!
