Bonding

Higanbana cont...

The cold rain persisted outside the inn as all four of team RNJR were in their respective beds, clinching their covers to find inescapable warmth from within. Ruby lie awake staring at the ceiling, thoughts shuffling through her mind from earlier. This is the first time I've told anyone about that kind of stuff. It feels..weird Having seen enough of the unsightly wooden cracked roof, she sat up and made small light from a nearby fire lantern. A brief warm light gave her enough vision to pull out her pad and begin writing. She had wanted to write home for quite some time. Try as she might however, words just wouldn't come; her page blank as her expression.

Suddenly a crack of thunder could be heared from outside accompanying the rain, however it's volume proved too low to pry anyone from their sleep..except for a certain someone. "mm.r..ruby?" moaned a voice from the bed to the side of her. Nora sat upwards and looked blankly at Ruby. "..aren't you asleep yet?" she asked her. "Can't sleep" came Ruby's reply. "I still keep thinking about everything..everyone...it's hard" her voice cracking under the weight of her thoughts.

"Well that makes two of us now" snarled Nora. "C'mon let's talk about it. Us girls together, no guys" faffing her hand towards Jaune and Ren who both were sound asleep in the opposing two separate beds. "..and spare no details" adding a smirk and a wink.

Ruby smiled. She looked across to see the guys were asleep and looked back to see Nora, politely tucking her legs into her arms as she prepared to listen to her. "Well when talking about Yang...it's not hard to explain what's going on inside her head." claimed Ruby. Nora gave a swift double nod and a blink in agreement. "But ever since we formed our teams, she's been...different. " again words began to escape Ruby. Words to describe Yang. Yang. Her flirty, confident, wears everything on her sleeve, sister. She definitely was like the Sun. Bold, bright and warm to everyone around her. "Different because of...her."

Blake lie sleeping in her bed as blazing sunlight suddenly beamed into the dorm room. Yang walked into the room as the door burst open. Eager to see her team mate awaken, Yang got closer and closer to her feline featured friend. "Wakey wakey beautiful Blakey" she grinned in a very energetic fashion. "hm?...what?" came a voice from underneath the covers, barely making out the voice she heard. Yang poised back and opened the curtains more to reveal the most beautiful day ever witnessed in remnant history. "Today's our 'day' remember?"

Suddenly her bow twitched as Blake managed to manouver from under the covers with grace, curling up into her quilt as it provided the warm safety from within. "Our day?" she questioned looking slightly off to the side. What does she mean by that? "Haha professor Ozpin said we have to spend the day with our partners studying and training." laughed Yang "Something about bonding or stuff like that" her eyes rolling to the side. "So I thought you and I could do something together." she added with the most dotty look on her face as she looked away from her partner.

"Oh" Blake replied softly. Blake certainly had wanted to spend more time learning and practicing to get better. Her recent run ins with the White Fang were proving to touch a little bit too close for comfort lately. Someone could get hurt. She didn't want to see that happen on her account. "Uhm.." she nervously began speaking "...what do you want to do?" She liked letting Yang take the lead with decision making. It proved to be one less thing to worry about. The bold blonde loved action awe aspiring adventure. At least I can get swept away in whatever she has planned for us she thought.

Yang stood valiantly whilst looking down at her raven haired partner. "One word - The Arcades" her expression turning into a fearsome-like-beast of determination; her tongue peeking out from under her lips. "Nothing better than training our co-ordination and relfexes than playing games!" her voice sounding more child like by the second.

"Sure" grinned Blake as rolled her eyes towards her partner. That's two words..dork she thought to herself. "Just let me get changed and ready" she added removing the covers from her bed and propping herself upright. Yang looked down at Blake and noticed her usual choice of attire. "Just make sure you wear something a bit more..casual." she said. "Huh?" quizzed Blake as she looked up at the bright haired girl. "We'll be going for burgers and shakes after..also we might play in the lazer zone too...oh and I want to beat my highscore at ten-pin" said Yang. Blake had the biggest smirk on her face Yang had ever witnessed. "What are you like six years old?" teased Blake. "Sure. I'll change into something shorter then" she added. Blake made her way over to the shower area of the dorm and took her clothes with her. Yang remained looking at her partner as she left and then glanced over out the window of the dorm. The beautiful light melting over her face as the warmth kicked in.

As Yang was smiling to herself looking out the dorm she noticed a small rustling sound from the left of her. She looked over to see Ruby peeping out from her tent-like bunk bed. "Morning sister!" she said with a prideful glee. "Ha morning little red" replied Yang "How come you are still up there?"

Ruby prised open her little tent and jumped down to the floor. She yawned, attempting to camoflague her eavesdropping as much as she could. "I fell asleep late" opening her mouth wide, baring everything for Yang to see. "Jeez close your mouth sis!" jested Yang waving "Or you'll be having Weiss wearing a nose peg all day." she smirked. Ruby's eyes shot open wide. Ahh I'm gonna be late! she thought to herself. "Sooo just what have you and the ice princess got planned for your day then?" asked Yang with a slight elbow nudge. "Heh..well..she says we need to practice form and learn strategies from old atlas textbooks." Ruby quickly gathering her things in front of her. "Wow I don't envy you one bit." replied Yang. "I'm gonna go get a shower and get ready, enjoy your day out with Blakeee.."her voice now phasing out completely as she shot ahead to the bathroom. Yang smirked to herself "Oh I definitely will little sis."
