Lie Ren stopped. As he had turned the knob on the door of team JNPR's dormitory, the came a thunderous crash from across the hall and a loud hiss. Naturally he assessed the situation and found it was of no concern to him. As such, he swung open the door only to be attacked by a blur of pink and orange as the energetic Nora Valkyrie rushed forward to greet him.
A lesser man might have been run over by such an advance but Ren was not a lesser man. He instead stood still allowing Nora a moment more for her affections, then pressing his hand against her forehead removed her from him gently. Even at arms length the girl tried to charge him all the while rattling on about nothing. Ren laughed. Nora stopped chattering and looked up at him smiling.
"How was your day, love?" Ren said, releasing Nora and allowing her to rush forward as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Well, I woke up and that was fine I guess. I ate breakfast and all that but you already know that. After that stuff I went to classes and boring boring boring boring boring, even though I'm having some trouble in battle theory or Professor Oobleck hates me. He totally hates me, I'm mean it's battle theory. How can you fail battle theory? It's like the theory is to hit the bad guys right? I don't know. Plus I had to pee today and the bathroom was locked. I couldn't get in so I had to run back here. So basically I'm hungry and I missed dinner cause sleep and things."
"Things?" Ren looked amused by the girl's chattering.
"Yea... Things." Nora did not explain further and luckily before Ren could ask there was another crash from the quarters of Team RWBY followed with some miscellaneous hisses and a battle cry from Yang.
"I'm gonna get ya!" The girl could be heard from across the hall.
"Rennnn?" Nora said in a childish voice that she knew would fail to manipulate him but instead tell him that she wanted something.
"Yes?" Ren's expression was still indifferent, but you could hear a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Can I go play?" Nora said pressing her head up against his chest and nuzzling closer to him in the embrace. "Please pretty pretty please with a cherry on top"
Ren chuckled to himself. "I will be done with dinner in an hour and don't forget we need to train after Pyrrha and Jaune are out of class." Nora had darted strait for team RWBY's door as soon as Ren began speaking.
"Nora." Ren's voice was suddenly devoid of warmth. Instead it was cold and harsh.
"Damn it," Nora scolded herself under her breath as she turned around slowly with her eyes down. She had let herself get to excited and now she was in trouble. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."
"It's fine."
Nora let out a sigh of relief she had though she was in some real trouble, but she had gotten of the hook. She quickly turned around and walked into team RWBY's room before Ren could change his mind.
