"So, how long have you two been an item?"

"We're not an item!" Blake hissed through her teeth, her face a hot shade of pink.

"Your jealous attitude says otherwise," Yang taunted playfully.

"I'm not jealous. I'm cautious. It's what you have to do when people see you like a piece of meat," she added darkly. "Whether they love or hate the way you look."

Yang flinched internally, not envying the Faunus' lot in life. If Blake was defensive in her own steed or in 21's, it was because that was how the world had taught her to be. "I'm sorry," she spoke earnestly. "I shouldn't just assume things."

Blake looked her wide-eyed clearly thrown off guard. "No harm done…" she muttered quietly as she looked away. "I guess I'm overdoing it, but I can't help it." Her gaze went to 21 who was legitimately invested in the SDC pamphlet she'd been given.

"Who uses dust as shampoo?" she queried aloud.

Ruby just shrugged while stealing side glances at the reading material. Neither of them was paying attention to their companions' conversation.

"21's different from most Humans and even Faunus in this world," Blake noted quietly to Yang. "I can't stand the thought of anyone taking that away from her. Or worse, using it against her." Her arms enfolded herself without needing to think about.

Blake turned her as a hand found her shoulder.

Purple irises were soft and vulnerable as Yang uttered, "I get it."

The dark-haired girl instantly knew she was telling the truth.

The brawler looked to her sibling with a bemused snort. "I have a special little dork of my own."

The dork in question was balancing her scythe on her nose to impress her new friend.

She was rewarded with a look of awe and 21's tail undulating like it had been caught in a snake charmer's trance.

Until Ozpin finally called to start orientation, Black and Yellow enjoyed the sight of their charges having fun together. Sharing a look, they realized they had each made a new friend too.

"She's definitely 21 of a kind!"

"Don't make me regret this this soon…"

"…I only promise to try."
