Tronmaster: Well, I guess until I can get things figured out with RWBY: Hallowed Scars, that story's going to be on hiatus for the foreseeable future.
Alicia: Also, the problem with the site is that it's not showing the specific time that stories are being updated, when they obviously are. And as such, people aren't being notified. Tronmaster has noticed it, and Phoenix Champion has noticed it.
Jenkins: If you guys can see this, please, leave a review, or PM Tronmaster.
Melody: Is this sounding desperate? Perhaps, but we're hoping that this situation can get fixed within a week.
Hector: Anyway, let's get into the next chapter, of An Arc of Fates!
[Corrin P.O.V.]
"Ruby! You can't just start asking questions out of the blue!" Weiss said, scolding Ruby.
"Oops, sorry." Ruby said sheepishly.
"Heh, it's quite alright Weiss. And yes, I've lived here for as long as I can remember." I said, both reassuring Weiss, and answering Ruby's question.
"This place is amazing!" Nora said, her eyes about as wide as dinner plates.
"Yes, although, I wish to see the rest of the world someday." I said somberly.
"Don't worry Corrin, you'll get to see more of the world soon. I have faith." Xander said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks big brother." I said, causing Xander to smile.
After several minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the dining hall. And when we entered, I turned around, Jaune and his friends, save for Weiss, had a look of amazement on their faces.
"So, I assume that I'll have to help make dinner for our, guests, then?" I heard Jakob ask.
"That would be correct Jakob. I hope we're not asking too much of you." Xander replied.
"Of course not Lord Xander, I could do no less." Jakob said, smiling.
"If it wouldn't be too much of an issue, I would like to assist." Ren said.
"Now, hold on a moment-" Leo said, before I interrupted him.
"I don't think so. Xander, Camilla, Elise, do you have a problem if Ren helps Jakob cook our meal?" I said, turning to Xander.
"I don't have an issue with it." Elise said with a smile.
"If you trust him dearest baby sister, then so shall I." Camilla said, a small smile on her face.
"Xander?" I asked my older brother, looking at him like he was contemplating something.
"Corrin, if it's too much trouble-" Ren started, before Xander said something.
"If Elise and Camilla think it's a good idea, then who am I to argue?" Xander said a smile on his face.
"Then I shall follow Jakob to the kitchen immediately." Ren said, bowing.
"Splendid! Let's move!" Jakob said, Ren nodding in agreement.
"Well then, I suppose we should spend this time to get to know each other. All we really know are each other's names." I said, sitting down.
"That sounds like a good idea." Xander said, "Now, I would like to start by asking what world do you come from?" He asked.
"It's, a long story." Ruby said.
"We've got all night." Leo said.
'Gods Leo, you really need to relax.' I thought.
[Ren P.O.V.]
As Jakob and I entered the kitchen, I noticed that he was eyeing me with some minor suspicion. And to be honest, I don't exactly blame him.
"Obviously, you've caught me eyeing you with some suspicion." Jakob said, grabbing some ingredients.
"I should really work on my stealthy observation." I said, causing Jakob to lightly chuckle, "Although, I don't blame you for being suspicious of my friends and I. Considering that we just happen to drop into your dining hall not even a half hour ago."
"Well, I apologize if I had some mistrust about you Ren. It's just, I was afraid that you would try and poison Lady Corrin's meal." Jakob admitted.
"Well, I abhor taking another life. Especially after my, rather troubling childhood." I said somberly.
"I won't pry. And besides, the only poisoning I feared, was an oversaturation of fat." Jakob said, laughing.
"If it's one thing I don't care for in regards to cooking, it's overly fatty food." I said, chuckling.
"Right? Ugh, if only Lady Camilla wouldn't insist on so many of her precious frosted tarts!" Jakob said.
"You should see Nora with her pancake addiction." I said, sighing.
"Ren, I believe that this may be the start of an amazing friendship." Jakob said.
"I couldn't agree more." I said, holding out my hand, and Jakob took it.
Tronmaster: I feel like this chapter's too short.
Alicia: Well, let's be honest, if Ren and Jakob were to actually meet, I'm sure that they would be friends.
Jenkins: I just hope that the site gets fixed soon, so people are aware of when exactly all the stories are updated.
Melody: Agreed. Anyway, don't forget to read and review!
Hector: And we'll see ya next time!
