Yang was in a world of bliss, snuggled comfortably in her bed and dreaming of happier things, until she felt a little corgi jump on her and start licking her face. She groaned, opening her eyes some. "What, Zwei?"
He whimpered at her some before jumping off her bed and moving to scratch at the door. Yang groaned some before sitting up and pulling herself from her bed. She was wearing an orange tank-top and black sweatpants, for the cold, winter weather.
"Just give me a sec." She yawned out, trudging over and putting on a pair of shoes. She walked over, opened the door and followed Zwei through the house and out the front door. The second she walked outside, she was greeted with a winter wonderland, snow covering everything as far as the eye could see, and she wanted nothing more than to be back into her warm, inviting bed.
She fought the shiver that started to overtake her and hugged her body with her arm. "Maybe I should get a jacket." She shook the idea off as soon as she had it. She wasn't going to be outside too long, all Zwei had to do was pick a tree. Unfortunately, that was easier said than done.
Zwei walked from tree to tree, staring and sniffing them but always turning his nose up and them and walking away. He had already inspected all of the trees on the property and was wandering away.
"Zweiii," Yang said, "just pick a tree already! It's cold outside." She shivered, trudging after the little corgi who was just going farther and farther away from home. Zwei just looked at her with a little puppy grin, tilted his head and continued walking away.
After another five minutes of walking in the cold, Yang couldn't help her growing irritation. "Zwei, stop acting like Weiss and pick a tree!" That seemed to struck a chord with him, because he ran off to a tree a little farther away and finally did his business. Yang sighed, happy that she could finally head back to her bed.
"Thank you," Yang said, "Now, let's go home." She turned around, expecting Zwei to follow. He didn't.
Arf, arf Yang turned towards the sound just in time to see Zwei running even farther away from home. "Zwei!" Yang yelled, "Home is this way!" She chased after him, trying to catch up. He was going to be in trouble when she finally caught him.
Of course, the corgi didn't make catching him easy. He would only stop for a couple seconds to sniff the air before he'd start running again. He darted through bushes and foliage, and she would follow after as best she could. Whenever she would get close, he would jump through more foliage. Needless to say, Yang was getting irked.
Eventually, she finally got him cornered in a patch of trees. Or, at least, she thought she did. He sniffed the air one more time and jumped through another patch of foliage, making Yang groan and step through it after him.
When she finally got through, she saw the corgi sitting with his back facing a fire, staring at her with his head cocked to the side, waiting. "Zwei, when we get home, you're in so much trouble!" She said, irritated. She cast a stern look into his little face, and he used his puppy-dog eyes on her. She could feel her resolve shake some. She slumped her shoulders, shook her head and sighed. "Fine, you're not in trouble. Let's just go home now."
Yang's eyes darted up the second she heard some shallow chuckling. "Never thought I'd see you give up so easily." It took her a few seconds to find the source of the voice, but her eyes glared daggers the second she did. On the other side of the fire was Mercury Black leaning back, his hands supporting him, with a smug grin on his face.
"Mercury." Yang said, her lilac eyes turning a deep shade of red. "What are you doing here?" She was starting to wish that she had brought Ember Celica with her.
"Why do you care?" Mercury said, nonchalantly.
"Because I don't trust you." Yang said. "You and your team tried to destroy Beacon!"
Mercury sent a smug smirk her way, "Tried? I think we succeeded." Yang's glare deepened and she struck a fighting pose. "Heh, settle down, Blondie. I'm not up to anything."
"Where's your team?" Yang said.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Mercury shrugged his shoulders.
Yang cast him a wary look. She wasn't sure that she believed him, but she decided to let it go. Even though she would never admit it aloud, she knew there was nothing she could do about him while unarmed. She turned her back towards him but have him one final glare over her shoulder. "If you try anything in Patch, I'll be here to take you down."
"Yeah, yeah." Mercury said. "I'm shaking in my boot."
Yang shook her head and started to walk out of the foliage, "Come on, Zwei, let's go home."
