RWBY - [VOL 3 Episode 3] - It's Brawl in the Family

Ozpin: Qrow, why are you here?

Ironwood: You've been out of contact for weeks! You can't just go dark like that in the field!

Qrow: I'm not one of your "special operatives", Jimmy!

Winter: It's General.

Qrow: Whatever. 

Qrow: You sent me to get intel on our enemy, and I'm telling you, our enemy is here.

Ironwood: We know.

Qrow: Oh! Oh, you know! Well, thank goodness I'm out there risking my life to keep you all informed!

Ironwood: (exhales) Qrow-

Qrow: Communication's a two-way street, pal. You see this? (pulls out his Scroll and points to it) That's the SEND button.

Winter: They had reason to assume you'd been compromised.

Qrow: And I have reason to assume you don't need to be here. 

Qrow: Seriously, who invited her?!

Ironwood: ...Schnee, we'll discuss this incident back at my ship.

Winter: But sir!

Ironwood: Winter. Leave.

Winter: (salutes Ironwood) Yes sir.

She turns on her heel and gives the winking Qrow a dirty look as she exits via the elevator.

Ironwood: (gestures to Qrow) Go on.

Qrow: Your little infiltrator isn't just another pawn. They're the one responsible for Autumn's condition.

He then takes a drink from his flask once more.

Goodwitch: What?

Qrow: Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers, or Generals, or Headmasters. The people in this room, The leaders of the other two academies, we're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about! It's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. 

Qrow: So you tell me, James, when you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being discreet, or did you just not give a damn!?

Ironwood: Discreet wasn't working.

Ironwood: I'm here because this is what was necessary.

Qrow: You're here because Ozpin wanted you here! He made you a part of this inner circle and opened your eyes to the real fight that's in front of us!

Ironwood: And I am grateful.

Qrow: Oh, well, you've got a real funny way of showing it.

Ironwood: The people of Vale needed someone to protect them, someone who would act. When they look to the sky and see my fleet, they feel safe, and our enemies will feel our strength.

Qrow: You... You think they're scared of your little ships? I've been out there, and I've seen the things she's made, and let me tell you. 

Qrow: They. Are. Fear.

Ozpin: And fear will bring the Grimm. A guardian is a symbol of comfort. But an army is a symbol of conflict. There's an energy in the air now, and the question in the back of everyone's minds WILL be...

Ozpin then gestures to the display

Ozpin: "If this is the size of our defenses, then what is it we're expecting to fight?"

Ironwood: So then, what would you suggest we do?

Ozpin: I suggest, that we find our guardian.

In the town of Vale, Emerald is seen reporting what she saw when she managed to sneak in the academy grounds without anyone seeing her. Cinder is pacing back and forth, interrogating her while Mercury leans on a nearby wall.

Cinder: Are you sure?

Emerald: Bad hair, uses a scythe, and smells like booze all the way. It's him.

Mercury: What do we do?

Cinder: Nothing. We stay the course, no matter how much interferences. They may have discovered our identities, but it won't matter if we don't get caught again. Besides, the last of the heavy lifting is being taken care of. Thanks to our newfound friend.

Emerald: So, what's next?

Cinder: We rest. Go to your rooms. I'll prepare everything for tomorrow.

Emerald: Yes, ma'am.

Mercury: Got it.

Emerald: Oh, I almost forget. I have another report.

Emerald: It's.. regarding Matthew Aidan, ma'am.

Emerald: His skills might turn him into a slight annoyance.

Cinder: Tell me.
