Y/N POV:

After splitting up we found a building as we set up a fire.

Yang: I can't believe we didn't find anything...

Blake: We've always been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. I guess we can't always have luck on our side.

Weiss: That's not what I meant.

Blake: Huh?

Weiss: Earlier, about... upholding the legacy. There's more to it than that.

Yang: Yeah... No, me too. I mean... I don't know.

Blake: I don't know, either. I know what I want to do, but I figured I'd always take things one step at a time.

Y/N: I'd just learn as I go for each new experience.

Yang: Well, it doesn't matter. We know why we're here. Right?

Oobleck: Ah, wonderful; a textbook campfire!

Ruby: Fire!

She comes up and sits by the fire with Zwei.

Ruby: So... warm...

Oobleck: Very good! Eat your dinners and hurry to bed.

Oobleck: We have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow and we'll need you to take turns keeping watch over our temporary abode. Any volunteers for first watch?

Ruby: (Lifts an arm while still looking at the fire) Yo.

He then rushes off as Ruby heads for her lookout point.

Yang: (to Ruby) Hey, did Oobleck ask you why you wanted to be a Huntress? I mean... what did you tell him?

Ruby: Hmm... No, he didn't. Weird. Oh, well; good night, guys!

She heads off as we roll out our sleeping mats.

I lay on the mat and fall asleep.

I find myself back in the mental scape to see Asuna.

Asuna: Welcome back Y/N

Asuna: Welcome back Y/N.

Y/N: It's been a while since I've been here.

I find the same seat Maria broke out of and sit on it.

Asuna: Are you okay?

Y/N: I'm fine.

I pat her head as she has a shocked expression.

Asuna: Wha--

Y/N: I wanted to thank you again for earlier.

Y/N: Are you okay?
