AN: It feels very difficult to wright for Blake a dn Weiss but im hoping to get the hang of it soon. If you have any ideas for how to improve my writing's for the two let me know. I'm really working on them but i feel like i keep missing with their personality's but i'm not sure if it's cause i am or i'm just being overly critical... Well enjoy the chapter. I'm going to try and get back on schedule.


Weiss Schnee tolerated tardiness from no one. That was a fact, a minute late to an event she hosted could earn one a thrashing and lecture they would never live down. However Weiss did make exceptions albeit rarely but today happened to be one of the few times. Although it wasn't cause she was feeling kind, nor that she just simply didn't feel irritated. It was in fact because the person whom she waited on had a very good reason to take so long to meet up with her in the small cafe she sat in. She had in a rush to leave home and meet Ruby she had in fact gotten to their meeting place a full hour early.

"Excuse me ma'am may I get you're order?" Asked a waitress as she walked by the table. Weiss was wearing a black jacket and some torn jean's. She didn't want anyone to recognize her so she looked down to her menu.

"No i'm still waiting for my friend, i'm sorry miss."

"No problem deary. Just wave me down if you need anything." The woman gave a large smile and walked onward to the next booth to ask for order's.

Weiss let out a sigh and rested her head in her curled up arms curling into her jacket. "Dang it Ruby... Where are you." She softly yawned and closed her eyes resting her head down. "I stayed up all night just to get here to early... Nnnn" She could slowly feel consciousness slipping before her head burrowed into her arms and she went unconscious.

When Weiss woke it was with a small yawn as she lifted her head slightly only to be meeted with the silver eyes of Ruby.

"Hey Weiss"

"Hey Ruby... Wait Ruby?" She asked questioningly rubbing her eyes and smiling slightly as she took in the sight of an older Ruby smiling up at her.

"You were asleep. I didn't want to wake you." She said with a slightly hesitant toothy smile,

"Thanks you dunce." She sighed and yawned slightly leaning back into her chair. "So than. Are you hungry Ruby?"

Ruby nodded quickly "You bet. I'm practically starving. I mean... Yes that would be delightful Weiss... It's been a while since we have eaten... together..." Ruby sat up straightening her posture and putting her hands on her lap.

"Ruby? What are you doing?"

"B-being sophisticated? I think..." Came her nervous response to which Weiss held back a small giggle.

"You dunce. We're at a diner, it hardly require's any form of sophistication to eat here. Thats why I chose it.. I wanted you to feel comfortable. Otherwise I would have hosted a grand feast for you and JNPR back at the manor. But I know how much you hate those kind of things." Weiss disclosed smiling at her partner.

"oh"

they shared a small laugh before Weiss flagged down the smiling waitress from earlier who took their order and left to the depths of the kitchen.

"So how was your journey here?"

"Long." Ruby groaned out slumping in her chair. "We had to take a long and boring boat ride and then we trekked through miles of snow and woodlands. There were... A lot of Grimm. But we made it."

Weiss felt her heart crack a bit at that statement. "Did you get hurt?"

Ruby gave a sheepish smile. "Yeah. It's just a few scar's here and there. Nothing serious." She shrugged it off like it was such a small thing. But Weiss only felt worse. Ruby had been fighting countless battles to get here. Risked her life on a daily basis and here she was enjoying the wealth and safety of her home.

"I see.."

"Indeed. Sound's like you endured a most treacherous journey." Spoke the smooth yet booming voice of her father as he stepped out from the corner from her eyes. Unlike her he hadn't bothered dressing up to be discrete and his white suite stood out like a sore thumb in the dimly lit diner. "I do hope you do not mean to pull my daughter along such a journey.


Lord Schnee hadn't been asleep when Weiss had sneaked out like she thought. No the man very rarely got any sleep. He had been sitting in the foyer in a comfortable chair enjoying the warmth the fire place offered his cold aging body. He had heard her sneaker's lightly squeak against his tiled polished floor's and had even heard her tip off the guards to not let him know. He had heard her exit through the large door's of his home and had seen her figure trail away in the middle of the night to go to Atlas. He had been aware of her every step.

When he came to the diner she had run off to he was less than impressed with her actions. All this secrecy for a bite to eat? Perhaps I should hire a chef from here. Maybe she'd actually start eating more than a few nibbles at lunch. He had thought to himself as he entered. Much to his surprise she had fallen asleep at the table she had sat in. He made to wake her when the waitress asked if he was the friend she was waiting for.

Sohe found himself sitting at the counter back turned to his daughter as he fed on the almost home cooked meal in the diner. It made him smile as he remembered the cooking of his wafe very fondly giving him the same feeling. After a while a young women in a red cloak sat down in front of his daughter. She had made to speak but instead she settled to just give his daughter her time to awaken herself. He could respect that. He knew it was the leader of Weiss, team in becon based on the cloak and red tipped hair.

He listened carefully to every word they exchanged as they sat there talking. They were friends. Weiss was nice and sweet to her partner. She used a tone that he swore he had never heard her use with him since she was a child and thought the world of him. He was tempted to leave them be. Perhaps this is what Weiss needed. Then he heard talk of the outside world. He heard his daughter's voice waver slightly. The talk of a long trecherous trip through the world. There was no mention of asking his daughter to join but he wasn't going to let it happen. He had spent far to much time getting her to stay here. He was all he could protect from the world anymore. So he stood accidentally slamming his coffee mug after a deep breath he composed himself and set down a more than generous enough tip for the lady whom served him.

And now he found himself standing at the table his daughter had been smiling at a few seconds ago. He noticed that her smile disappeared and her eyes had widened in fear at his arrival. He knew she would not forgive him for this. But as always it was for her safety and nothing she said would change that.

The red headed huntress sat confused for a second before finally responding.
