The sound of running water coming from the bathroom can be heard since Crimson was in the shower washing off the dirt that he gathered from being dragged across the forest. The girls' all huddled each other while sitting on the couch with only light coming from the hallway and listening to the shower running since they were still upset for what they did by letting their emotions get the better of them. After several minutes Crimson turned the shower off stepping out grabbing a towel and dries himself off before wrapping himself in another dry towel since he didn't have an extra change of clothes. He opens the door and makes his way to the living room where the girls' were turning on the light then sits down on an extra chair looking over at them as they tucked their ears down.
Crimson took in a deep breath then slowly exhaled. "Girls, next time you can show a little more self control when I do something like that again."
They all nodded their heads in agreement as Giselle looked over at Crimson seeing his heavily scarred chest and arms. "Umm… Crimson, can you tell us just how you can do the things you can.?" She asked while she twiddled her thumbs as Rei and Naomi looked at her with a surprised look on their faces.
He gave a light sigh and crossed his arms. "Very well then, guess I should start in the beginning." He put his hand out and dug his middle finger nail into the palm of his hand drawing blood from the cut then opened his hand up forming three dark red balls and lightly wiggles his fingers as if making them float in the air in tune with their movement. "My body is infused with a very rare kind of natural dust known as Oblivion, which can only be made under extreme measures in a similar way to diamonds but with the ingredients being several kinds of dust." The girls' listened carefully. "I was in an accident when I was little; I was attacked by an Ursa that had ventured too far out from the Emerald Forest, it slashed its claw at me knocking me into a dust vein. The first thing that I grabbed onto with my bloodied hand with what appeared to be just a black rock was this rare dust. As soon as I touched it the dust merged with me and I was able to make my way out to safety."
Rei brought her hand up to her chin. "So, just what can you do with your abilities?"
Crimson gave a few quick flicks of his fingers turning the three balls into shards and tossing them into the girls' direction which they easily blocked since he wasn't even trying. "At the moment bladed weapons and some tendrils, although if I use too much I do become weaker." He looked over at the clock. "Alright girls' I'm going to get some sleep, you three can take the bedroom and I'll sleep here on the couch."
Naomi grumbled softly. "Are you still mad about being dragged through the forest?"
"Yes, I am since you three ruined my best coat." Leaned forward to the coffee table lifting his torn coat up showing it to them.
"It's just a stupid coat." Naomi softly replied under her breath.
The girls' lay on the bed all cuddled up together in a tight ball keeping warm. As Naomi reached and lightly nudges Rei to get her attention since she couldn't get what they all just heard out of her mind.
"Hey Rei?" Naomi softly whispered. "What was it like when you first met Crimson?" There was no reply. "If you don't want to talk about it that's ok." She rolled over on her side and closed her eyes.
"My father was a human and my mother was a faunus." Rei replied. "So, I had a very rough time growing up, all of the hate and prejudice. Eventually it became too much for my parents and they killed themselves. I lived on the streets scrounging up what I could to survive and beating the crap out of anyone who just even looked at me the wrong way. I was just so angry with the world that I wanted to join the White Fang when I was old enough, so on my way to one of the secret recruitment centers I was jumped by several of people that I had beaten up before. One of them pulled a rusty knife out wanting to cut me up and that was the most that I've been ever scared in my life. That was when Crimson showed up and must've used his ability to stop them, he showed me such kindness that no one had ever given to me before. From that day I've always been faithful to him since he's given me something that I've always wanted; happiness."
"Wow, that's really something Rei." Giselle yawned softly joining in on the conversation.
"Yeah, I'm just glad that things have worked out for you. I'm glad to you as a teammate and Crimson as my leader." Naomi rolled back over smiling at Rei hugging both her and Giselle close.
Crimson who was laying on the couch who could hear them talking gave a sweet caring smile before pulling a blanket up before falling asleep.
