Ruby gasped in horror, realizing she had left her board game back in the library. She quickly told her team what had happened and ignored the small "We're doomed." from Weiss. She zipped out of the dorm with determination, hoping that she could get her board game before someone else found it and either took it or threw it out. Her determination was soon replaced with pain and confusion as she collided with something. A loud groan was heard from underneath her and she jumped.

She stood and dusted herself off, before holding her hand out to the person she collided with."I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

Her breath caught in her throat as the person she slammed into looked up, his green eyes meeting her silver sent her a withering glare and shakily stood up by himself, ignoring her attempts to help. "What the hell, Red?"

Ruby cringed and twiddled her fingers, suddenly finding her feet very interesting. "I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and I have to get my board game from-" She stopped and looked over at what was next to him on the floor.

"Is that… That's my board game!"

The boy looked at the box below his feet shook his head, temporarily forgetting about the run-in "Sorry Red, this is my board game."

Ruby moved closer towards it, aiming to inspect it when the redhead pushed it away from her sight with his foot. She glared at him in annoyance. "If it's really your board game then why won't you let me look at it?"

He glared right back. "I don't want your clumsy little hands touching it." Ruby sighed and backed up, slightly smirking when he moved his foot. She quickly activated her semblance and burst off to grab it, but groaned in pain as he blocked her with a cane she hadn't noticed he had until then.

He smirked at her, chuckling to himself slightly. "I'm a professional, sweetheart! Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something."

Ruby groaned, but used her position to her advantage, looking at the side of the box and finding what she was looking for. "Here! It says me and my sisters' name! It is my board game!"

Torchwick let out an annoyed grunt, before picking it up and away from the girl. "Well, its mine now! Maybe you shouldn't leave things out in the open."

Ruby growled, her eyes furrowing in frustration. "Who even are you? I've never seen you before."

He smirked. "That's because I'm visiting from Mistral. The name's Roman Torchwick… I'd say it was a pleasure meeting you Red, but I think we both know I'd be lying." He turned his back and walked away.

Ruby sat on the floor and glared at him as he walked away, only coming out of her angry stupor when Yang opened the door, curious as to where her sister went.

She spent the rest of the night fuming.
