Y/N, Ruby, and Weiss are running up the main avenue towards the docking bays of Beacon Academy's courtyard at dusk.

Ruby:  Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?

Weiss stops and smiles at the sight of...

Weiss: Winter.

Y/N: Who is she again?

Weiss: She's my sister.

Then a white-haired female atlesian officer, escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's as she exits her airship.

Ruby: Wait... Your sister?

Weiss: Winter! 

The three then run up to the elder Schnee as she turns to see them.

Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... 

She is then suddenly curtsies.

Weiss: Your presence honors us.

Winter looks around as she approaches them.

Winter: Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.

Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.

Weiss punches Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her sibling.

Weiss: So, what are you doing here?

Winter: Classified.

He then whispers to Weiss' ear.

Y/N: She means to assist the general.

Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?

Winter: Classified.

Y/N: Until the festival is over.

Weiss: Of course. 

She nods and smiles in understanding. While Ruby looks pensively around in the silence.

Ruby: Well... this is nice... I think.

Weiss: You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-

Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.

Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!

Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter.

Weiss: But, we won!

Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed. 

She then turns toward her security.

Winter: Leave us. 

The AK-200s obey, walking two steps backwards into formation as she sighs and smiles a little more warmly at Weiss.

Winter: How have you been?

Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm-

Winter suddenly slaps Weiss, leaving a massive bump on her head.

Winter: Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?
