"Ren," Pyrrha asked, looking curiously at her teammate, "How did you and Nora meet?"
Ren dabbed at his mouth with a napkin before responding. "It's actually not a very exciting story. Our parents went to school together, so we grew up together."
"Awww, come on, Ren. That's just the boring bits!"
"Then what are the⦠not-boring bits?" Pyrrha asked cautiously. Nora grinned. Ren closed his eyes and exhaled lightly.
"There are so many! You know, because we've been together for soo long! Well, not together-together, just together, because we're always in the same place and doing stuff at the same time, so, you know, together, because we're not together like that even though we could easily have been, with how long we've been together, and-"
"Nora."
"Anyway, the first time we met was years ago, back when we were little. Our dads knew each other, and all of us were together, but then we got separated from them and had to survive alone in the wilds!"
"They left us at the same daycare."
"I knew right away that Ren was an awesome fighter, and I obviously am, so we didn't have any trouble! We fought through all sorts of Grimm while waiting for our dads to get back. There was a pack of Beowolves, and a herd of Ursa and a Deathstalker! But we killed all of them without even getting touched."
"We pretended we were Hunters."
"Our dads came and found us eventually, and they were really proud that we had survived that long."
"Nora hadn't destroyed the building."
"After that, we went everywhere together! We fought off a Grimm invasion at our school-"
"Nora did destroy the building that time."
"And when we first came to Vale, I got to chase a thief all across town-"
"After you helped him escape the police."
"And once we were out camping, and this huuuuuge Ursa came out of the forest right behind my dad, and I threw Ren and he kicked it in the head and killed it right there!"
Everyone turned to Ren, who shrugged lightly.
"That one's true, actually."
