"So, where'd you come from, Ravage?" Yang inquired as they walked along, Ravage walking beside the 4 huntresses: to their left.
"My house." Ravage answered.
"Right... and that is?" Yang raised a brow at the little kitsune's response.
"It's complicated." Ravage shrugged. "Not all that interesting. Just trust me when I say very, very far away." He followed up.
"Like continental far?" Ruby looked over to Ravage. He chuckled.
"It's complicated." Ravage repeated himself. "I'm not exactly local in any sense of the term." He vaguely explained.
"Ooh, mysterious." Ruby grinned.
"Hmm, maybe so." Ravage smiled and nodded. "So, what do you all do for fun around here?"
"Depends on your definition of fun." Weiss responded.
"I have a very broad definition." Ravage replied.
"Well, usually we're locked in deadly combat with Grimm and criminals alike. Hi-ya, hi-yah." Ruby imitated kung fu moves as she walked along.
"That's always a good time." Yang followed up.
"The experience varies." Weiss muttered.
"Actually we recently foiled the dasterdly schemes of Dr Merlot and his Merlot industries corporation, that was totally awesome." Ruby informed.
"Sounds like a fun time." Ravage admitted.
"The experience varied." Blake paraphrased Weiss' previous line.
"On our downtime we just kinda hang out around Vale." Yang added. "We've also got a fighting tournament coming up soon and we've been training for that as well."
"Sweet, what's your power levels at?" Ravage asked.
"Power levels?" Weiss scratched her head.
"Yeah, power levels. I can't exactly get a good read on any of you yet so I just wonder if you've been keeping track." Ravage continued.
"I'm fairly certain I have the highest." Yang smugly grinned.
"I should've brought one of those scouters actually." Ravage muttered.
"There's a fine line between confidence and cockiness, Yang." Weiss warned.
"You'd know would you?" Blake quipped.
"Hey!" Weiss snapped. Ravage shivered.
"Urgh, what a chill." He mumbled.
"You get that as well, huh?" Ruby inquired. Weiss narrowed her eyes and glared at Ruby. She shivered like Ravage.
"So what's the specifics of this tournament?" Ravage inquired.
"Well, the combat tournament is a part of the Vytal Festival in which students from the numerous Huntsmen academies compete. Symbolically, the tournament battles represent a reminder to always strive for excellence and never mediocrity. Only huntsmen and huntresses partake, it's a tournament of elite warriors." Weiss briefly explained it.
"Damn." Ravage clicked his fingers out of irritation. "And I was hoping to get as many fights in as possible with as many strong opponents as I can find on this planet whilst I'm here." He sighed.
"I guess you really love to fight." Blake spoke up.
"Call it a family trait. I guess you could say battle blood flows through my veins, I hunger for good fights as much as I do good food. Eat, fight and sleep is how I live these days... and what a life it is. I honestly don't need to do anything else anymore." Ravage replied.
"I like this guy." Yang looked to the others.
"So is your mom a fighter as well?" Ruby asked.
"Is she? Hahah, like you wouldn't believe it. She doesn't fight often these days but when she does, well... it's like a form of art really." Ravage developed a huge smile on his face. "I may be stronger than my mom but my skills are definitely below hers. I'm more of an instinct fighter, and often a show-off I do admit." He added. "I respect my mom more than anything else, as both a person and a warrior."
"I'm glad to hear that." Ruby smiled. "It's nice that you and your mom have such a close relationship."
"Well, she's the only family I have left... and I went through heaven and hell to keep her well." Ravage informed, pointing to his left eye and the black bandanna over it. "This is a reminder of the times that I was willing to sacrifice everything for my mother's safety."
"I was wondering about that." Weiss commented.
"Ironically enough my eye is fine now. I just keep it like this to throw my opponents off, make 'em think I have a disability... that and I think it makes me look cooler." Ravage admitted. Ruby nodded. "It's more so the bandanna itself that's the reminder of those days now. But that's a story for another time. I wanna hear more about you guys." Ravage chuckled to himself. "I honestly don't find myself all that interesting to talk about, I like learning about others. Maybe this way, one day, I'll learn more about myself. Who knows? But enough about me."
"Well, we do have some stories." Yang smirked.
"We can discuss them over a meal, nothing like a good meal for reminiscing." Ruby suggested. The others nodded.
"I am pretty hungry, tell ya what: in return for these stories you have, I'll pay. Trust me, I can afford it." Ravage responded.
"That's nice of you." Blake nodded.
"Well, sometimes you give a litle to get a little." Ravage replied.
"Alright, come on, I know a good place." Yang interjected.
"That does sound nice, lead the way." Weiss responded, nodding to Yang. Yang chuckled and gave a thumbs up.
