Alfarr sighs as he looks out the window at the area being prepared. "At least it's going well."

"Hey. How are you doing?" Ruby asks.

Alfarr smiles to her. "Doing fine. You?"

"Back from the purification ritual." Ruby says.

Alfarr rolls his eyes. "I can see that." He said looking her over in her underwear.

Ruby smiles as she walks up and hugs him.

Alfarr sighs and hugs her back. "I love you Ruby."

"I love you too. So can we talk…what is our plans for the future?" Ruby asks.

Alfarr sighs as he sits down on the bed and she sits down next to him. "I don't know. To be honest, I just hope I can continue the job of collecting all the materia out there and keep them out of the white fang's hands and the organization."

"Alfarr, please tell me the truth. Will we continue this for the rest of our lives or will we have and raise kids?" Ruby asks.

Alfarr looks to her. "What do you want?"

"I don't know. I want to be the best huntswoman I can be and be a hero, but at the same time, if I do want to have a child, can I raise her well or would I be unable to or even…end up like my mom?" Ruby asks more herself than Alfarr.

Alfarr sighs. "Ruby…whatever you want to do, I'll help you. Just tell me and I'll see what I can do. Besides, you will always be amazed at what you do and you will see to it that it is done right."

"Oh, Alfarr. I just don't know. The closer we get to the wedding, the more nervous I get and the more I keep doubting." Ruby says.

Alfarr shrugs. "Nervousness helps. Tells you that something is up and needs to be dealt with. And don't worry. You'll have all the time in the world for whatever you want to do."

Ruby hugs him tightly as she now sat in his lap and he rocked her.

Alfarr smiles down to her. "Want to sleep on it?"

"Lay down please." Ruby asks.

Alfarr sighs as he lays down on the bed and Ruby follows suit with him. "Better?"

"Much." Ruby says laying her head next to his.

Alfarr smiles. "Good. I am supposed to keep you happy after all. Course…I don't need it that much. Just as long as you girls are happy." He said wrapping the blanket around them.

"Thanks for listening to me." Ruby says.

Alfarr chuckles. "Anything for my girls."

"No. Seriously Alfarr, thank you." Ruby says holding him now.

Alfarr looks to her. "Like I said, anything."

"Alfarr. I love you." Ruby says before turning her head into the crook of his neck.

Alfarr nods as he wraps his arms around her. "I love you too. Now just sleep and make sure you rest up."

"Ok." Ruby whispers and Alfarr felt a few tears fall on him from her.

"Shh. Everything will be fine." Alfarr whispers to he as he runs a hand through her hair.

"Whatever happens, don't have me leave it all." Ruby whispered.

"I won't Rubs." Alfarr says trying to comfort her.

Ruby sniffs. "Thank you."

"Now relax and cheer up. They say that your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life and that is happening soon." Alfarr says.

Ruby nods into his neck. "It will be. I just want you and the others to be there…will Cinder and Emerald be there too?"

"They want to keep out of sight of the organization so we will do theirs in private so the world doesn't learn from it. Also, we got to watch Cinder. She still wants to rule a kingdom if not the world." Alfarr says.

Ruby giggles a bit. "That sounds like her and you…what does that make you and us?"

"I don't know, but try and distract her too much so she doesn't get much progress on it." Alfarr says.

Ruby smiles. "Yes, my husband." She jokes.

"I prefer love at this point and maybe husband later." Alfarr says cheekily.

Ruby hits his side too lightly. "Yes, my love. I'm really going to love this life, but…"

"Shh. Keep the rest as a surprise my innocent wife." Alfarr whispers into her ear.

Ruby blushes a bit and closes her eyes. "Night."

"Night my rose." Alfarr says.


"Looks like the storm is passing. That means our families will start arriving soon." Yang says looking to the window from the couch as she leans against Alfarr as they are both under a blanket.

Alfarr smiles. "And soon comes the crazy meetings, misunderstandings, and let's not forget the wine and alcohol disappearing."

"Don't worry so much." Yang says stroking the ear facing her.

Alfarr raises an eyebrow. "Who said I talking about the family? I was talking about Qrow."

"Oh, he is already here." Yang says before smirking mischievously.

"Yang, what are you planning?" Alfarr asks.

Yang chuckles. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. So…is Ruby fine?"

"Yeah, she is just nervous. Pre-wedding jitters I think." Alfarr says before Yang actually nips his ear. Alfarr yips and moves a bit away as he blushes. "Yang…what was that for?"

Yang smirks. "Didn't you say that you nip ears to show you are ready?"

"Yeah, animals do. Not faunus or half faunus." Alfarr says as she held him in place.

Yang hums. "Then why did you tell Weiss and Winter about it, like a wedding tradition, huh?"

"Well…yes, but after it." Alfarr says trying to defend himself as he was just embarrassed.

Yang chuckles and leans up to his ear. "And would you mind right now?" She whispered.

"Post-wedding." Alfarr tries to move away but Yang pins him on his back.

Yang grins as she leans above him. "Post huh? Then why do it before? You are the one teasing us so it's only right." She said leaning down to his ear.

"You want me to tease huh?" Alfarr asks.

Yang taps the tip of his ear. "Well…I'm doing the teasing here so just relax."

"Oh?" Alfarr relaxes before copping a feel of her rear.

Yang raises an eyebrow and looks behind her. "Really now? And what if I do yours?"

"Hey, you aren't the only one who can tease here. I have learned how to." Alfarr was before rubbing her rear.

Yang hums and strokes his ear. "I see. So what are you going to do?"

"Ask you a question, what is with the change in hairstyle?" Alfarr asks.

Yang smiles. "Thought it might be time for a change. Makes it easier so nobody can grab it easily."

"Makes you look like a martial artist cowgirl." Alfarr says.

Yang chuckles. "Yeah, I'm awesome."

"So you upgrade Bumblebee yet?" Alfarr asks as he ties her hands together with her own hair.

Yang frowns and looks to him. "I'm prepared to head butt you in the head."

"Now now cowgirl, I have you right where I want you." Alfarr says before kissing her.

Yang smiles into the kiss as he was able to flip them over and she pushes him away with her head. "Okay, easy foxy."

"Admit it, I outplayed you." Alfarr says smirking.

Yang hums and smirks. "Or maybe by Coco's standards. After all, why I didn't resist?"

"Because you were going to make a move." Alfarr says.

Yang rolls her eyes. "And we have someone watching." She said looking upward and looks to the corner near them and Alfarr follows her view to see Reese watching them with a heavy blush.

"Um…don't mind me." Reese said trying to keep her blush down.

"Come here Reese." Alfarr says.

Reese smiles a bit as she slowly walks over. "So…getting to the wedding night early, huh Yang?"

"Nope, but Alfarr isn't going to be so easily dominated it seems." Yang says still tied with her own hair.

Alfarr hums as he leans on her. "Or Coco can do it. I'm not going against her."

"Oh, what is this I hear?" Coco asks.

Yang grins. "I think Alfarr just challenged you to who could be more dominating."

"Oh, did he now?" Coco asks stroking Alfarr's ear.

Alfarr blushes. "Sort of…yeah."

"You are bolder. I like that." Coco says stroking his face now.

Alfarr smiles a bit. "So…?"

"I will take your challenge later after our wedding. The first night I want it to be special." Coco says before kissing his cheek.

Alfarr smiles before looking to the corner. "May, me and Yang are not doing anything."

"Aw." May calls.

Alfarr chuckles. "Come out. We're going to be family soon enough."

"In another day or two." Yang adds finally untying herself and flips Alfarr onto the bottom.

"Okay, what's with the crowd?" Ruby asks walking in.

"Alfarr got a little bold." Yang says leaning against Alfarr, the blanket still covering them.

Ruby raises an eyebrow. "Yang, stop. You are not May."

"Don't worry. I am just using him as a pillow." Yang says.

Alfarr smiles as he wraps his arms around her. "Not complaining."

"Oh?" Cinder asks.

"Can we get some of that?" Emerald asks walking in with her.

"He is mine right now…so how are the dresses made by the Avalonians?" Yang asks.

"Going well. They are almost done." Coco said.

"So you have seen Cinder and Emerald's huh?" Yang asks.

Coco shakes her head. "No. They won't allow me to see them."

"But you said they are almost done." Yang says.

Coco shrugs. "I said ours are. There's might be done already."

"Oh." Yang says before leaning her head down onto Alfarr's shoulder.

Alfarr hums. "And what are the plans for today?" He asks rubbing her back.

"We still can't go out yet." Yang says.

Alfarr shrugs. "Well, there is only so much we can do. But we can be like Pyra here." He said looking to Pyra lazing himself in a doggie bed and sleepily chewing on a piece of meat strip.

"Speaking of which, what about the eggs Emerald has?" Ruby asks.

Alfarr sighs. "We have been building a little aviary for the eggs. They are still being warmed up any way they can."

"What about the snakes?" Emerald asks.

Alfarr hums. "Maybe I can get some grimm to help…how's the studying on them going anyway?"

"Mostly on a hold." Weiss says.

Alfarr smiles to her. "So…what exactly did I miss while I was here? The police harass you guys more?"

"We left not long after you did. Don't know about Vale, but I heard some investigations on the commissioner were going to happen." Weiss says.

Alfarr nods and sits up and has Yang sit on his lap while he still hugged her. "I see. Anything with good news about it at the moment?"

"Well, we are still sexy." Yang jokes.

Alfarr smiles as he lowers his hand to her rear. "Yeah. You'll always be. Though now we have to fear of what might happen when we head back."

"Shh, don't worry." Yang says a finger on his lips.

Alfarr sighs. "So…what are we going to do now? Curl up next the fire and a lucky few get to be near me?"

"No. So what about the crabs?" Cinder asks.

Alfarr smiles. "They are still growing. I'm hoping to get the next big one in a few days, though."

"I want giant crabs as pets." Cinder says.

"Pitfall trap in the throne room?" Ruby asks.

Cinder grins. "Always wanted to press a button and they would just fall down if they are not to my liking."

"I will see to it." Alfarr says sighing.

Cinder giggles. "Good boy."

Alfarr rolls his eyes. "What happened to the stuffed animals?"

Emerald smiles and points to a corner of the room where his fox was looking over the rest on a small box. "Meep meep." Carby said behind it as he makes the fox move and seem like a king as a crown appeared on the head. "Meep, meep meep. Meep meep." Carby squeaks as he plays around.

"Ok girls, all the names?" Alfarr asks.

"Mrs. Trick." Emerald calls.

"Mrs. Claws." Yang said resting her head on him.

"Mrs. Little Paws." Blake said walking in.

"Mrs. Pyre." Cinder said as she snaps her fingers and makes a small flame appear in her hand.

Ruby hums. "I'm naming mine Mrs. Sneaky."

Weiss giggles. "Mine is that swan. I call her Mrs. Ball."

Coco smiles. "Mrs. Pounce."

"Mrs. Quickstep." Reese said.

May hoots like an owl. "Mrs. Watch."

"Family?" Alfarr asks jokingly.

"Family." Ruby said hugging him.

Cinder sighs. "Family." She said before smirking to Emerald.

Emerald blushes. "Family."

"We should put them all together." Reese says.

Alfarr looks over. "I think Carby is working on that." He said seeing Carby put on outfits on the stuffed animals. "Are those wedding dresses and a suit?" Alfarr asks.

"Meep." Carby said nodding as he pats down the little dresses.

"You going to build a mini chapel little one?" Ruby asks smiling.

Carby smirks and holds up a hammer and some boards of wood.

"You are too cute and talented." Ruby says making him blush.

"If only Velvet were here. She could be the one marry our stuffed animals." Yang jokes.

"I am here." Velvet says from the kitchen.

"Velvet, we need you to marry our stuffed animals." May said joking.

"Done." Velvet jokes.

Alfarr chuckles as Velvet walks over and takes out a random book. "Blah, blah. Skip the boring parts. Do you Mr. Fox, take these stuffed animal girls as your lawfully wedded mates?" She asks trying not to laugh.

"Meep." Carby says holding up Mr. Fluff Tail.

Velvet smiles. "And do you, future mates of Mr. Fox, take Mr. Fox as your lawfully wedded mate?"

"Meep." Carby calls holding all the rest up.

Velvet snickers. "And so by the power invested in me by the life of humans and faunus, I now pronounce you mates." She said closing the book. "You may now mate each other. Take it to another room, though."

"Meep." Carby says before starting to make a chapel.

Alfarr chuckles. "Now we just need to have us be married."

"Yep." Cinder says sitting next to him.

Alfarr looks to her. "You need something from me?"

"Tell me what will we do after the wedding?" Cinder asks.

Alfarr shrugs. "Anything you want. I have no real plans other than to make yours happen."

Yang pokes his chest. "That doesn't sound like you have anything better."

"Come on Alfarr, there must be something you want to do." Ruby encouraged as she sits by him on the other side.

"Well…I am unsure as a lot of the places are either rebuilding or undergoing major reforms." Alfarr says.

Weiss raises an eyebrow. "Really? You don't know what to after all of this and want to continue on as normal?"

Alfarr shrugs. "Pretty much. The only things I got to do is make the things you want to happen. It is the after wedding present in a sense."

"Well, we will have to plan it out later as Alfarr never heard of a honeymoon till recently." Cinder says.

"Oh come on. What about where the new married couples go? Isn't there like a house they have to spend some time in?" May asks downtrodden.

Emerald shakes her head. "According to Alfarr, not really. Apparently, with all the trouble of the creatures out there, there was never a need of a chance. So I'm guessing they just head to husband's home and spend their time there. Did I get that right?" She asks looking to Alfarr.

"Basically. Remember, we have had only this city for maybe centuries." Alfarr says.

May slouches. "Dang it. I was hoping you have like a private seaside home or something like that. And most of the places out there are still being dealt with."

"We have made progress. The three of us have been clearing the pass. We are sure we have cleansed the area. In other words, we have a clear mostly safe road into the island. That means we might be able to expand, especially with the spider queen's death at Cinder's powers." Alfarr says.

Cinder hums as she plays with the fire in her hand by snapping her fingers. "That requires payment, my fiancé."

"I'm going to get you crabs." Alfarr reminds.

Cinder chuckles. "I still require an excellent home to stay in. Complete with all the standard bad guy traps and options."

"Isn't this good enough?" Alfarr asks sweat dropping.

Cinder hums. "A little dull."

"Thanks. Thank you so much." Alfarr says discontent.

Cinder leans on him. "I know this was your mother's home. I won't change much on it or disrespect it that much at all." She whispered into his ear.

"It's not just hers. It has been my family's for centuries. As such, it has been renovated, rebuilt, and added onto." Alfarr informs.

Cinder smirks. "We won't find a hidden treasure in this home, would we?"

"You want to try your luck with the crabs?" Alfarr asks.

Cinder chuckles. "I would rather have my food ready and big rather than now all at once."

"Well, it is the only place I haven't really explored." Alfarr says.

Emerald grins. "What do we hope to find? Some lost treasure? Or…"

"Materia." Cinder finishes smirking a little.

"I doubt there is anything like that down there." Alfarr says.

Cinder shrugs. "You never know."

"You can check maybe with Emerald's powers." Alfarr suggests.

"And I might be asleep by the time she gets it." Emerald said crossing her arms.

"It's that or we kill all the crabs." Alfarr says.

Cinder frowns. "I want my meal big and alive good sir."

"We have no way to contain the crabs love. We basically let them have free reign down there, but now that I think about it. It is lunch time for them." Alfarr says.

"Oh, what is it? A huge chunk of meat leg from a goat?" Yang asks.

"No. Lots of shrimp." Alfarr says getting up after setting Yang to the side before going to the kitchen.

"Really? Is it just shrimp all the time?" Cinder asks leaning on the arm of the couch.

"No, but they like shrimp." Alfarr says starting to get buckets of shrimp parts and went to the little slide that Cinder sent the crab down to the basement so long ago.

"So…what do you girls think he would want to do?" Weiss whispers to them.

"Oh Weiss, do you have to ask?" Coco asks.

Weiss rolls her eyes. "Besides that. I mean anything else he would personally want to do."

"Again Weiss, you have to ask." Cinder asks.

Weiss groans. "I just want him happy."

"Then let him have you." Cinder says.

Weiss raises an eyebrow to her. "What do you know about…did you use Ruby's body to have some fun?" She asks frowning.

"Want me to do that with yours?" Cinder asks smirking.

Weiss keeps frowning. "Back off."

"Oh?" Cinder asks, starting to make fake hand signs.

Weiss slowly backs up frowning as she makes her tattoos glow on her legs.

"Girls, none of that." Alfarr says walking back to them.

Weiss huffs as the glow die down. "Keep her from doing the same body swap to me and I'll be fine."

"She is faking it with those hand signs." Alfarr informs.

Cinder laughs. "I love messing with you, girls."

Weiss puffs her cheeks in anger hearing that.

Alfarr walks over to her before picking her up and carrying her bridal style. "Relax Weiss. Besides, you'll get your revenge soon enough." He whispered smirking before kissing her.

"You know how to make me feel better." Weiss says.

Alfarr pecks her forehead. "You're my girl. I'm supposed to know."

Weiss giggles and hugs him. "And you're still a cute one."


"Ah, so this is the city." Weiss's father says getting off his airship.

"Real classification is a village, but yes." Winter said walking down with him.

"So daughter we were delayed by a blizzard so show me to my soon to son-in-law's home." Weiss' father says with a great deal of energy.

Winter shakes her head. "Come on. It's a long walk." She said grabbing an apple and dropping some regular credits. "Currency, two gold for one credit. They love our metals."

The elder Schnee nods as he follows.

Winter smiles to him. "So…are you hoping we can have a peaceful wedding and not like your after wedding party?"

"Yes, my lovely daughter." The elder Schnee says.

Winter shakes her head as they get into the train and travel up the tracks to the cliff. "I find it hard to believe the investigation hasn't found anything."

"On which subject?" The elder Schnee asks seriously.

Winter hums. "Our good old police department."

"Ah. Talking about Vale then." The elder Schnee says containing his anger.

Winter nods as she keeps eating. "Oh yes. They would do anything to protect their biggest force in that city. And the military is seen as hostile to them."

"Sounds like an internal split from what has happened unlike us of Atlas who are coming together better than ever." The elder Schnee says.

Winter sighs. "They lost their school and tower. What do you expect?"

"We still have yet to reconnect the entire system at this point. We should probably gut the system and make it to where if one towers goes down, the communications won't go down as well." The elder Schnee says.

Winter nods. "Shouldn't that have been done at the beginning?"

"It was originally a sign of solidarity." The elder Schnee says.

Winter huffs. "I call it idiocy."

"It was a different time and conflict-weary peoples made the decision. There should have been a contingency plan I agree, but that is how it was." The elder Schnee says as they rode on the train. The only thing the elder Schnee could think of it as was quaint and worth preserving.

Winter sighs. "Well…at least plans will be made for this from now on. It's only right." She said as the train stops at the top of the cliff and they get off to look at the sparse buildings. "So…think this might do for a wedding location?"

"We should discuss with the locals about this. Don't want to bully them and make a bad impression." The elder Schnee says sounding like a merchant or diplomat, depending on your point of view.

Winter chuckles. "I'm sure Alfarr will get us an audience with the elder." She said walking to his home. "Come on. Let's see him first."

"Weiss, what do you think? Should we buy more vegetables or meat?" Alfarr asks.

Weiss hums. "Maybe more meat. I'm sure Blake and the wolves would love it."

"Daughter!" The elder Schnee calls running towards them.

"Oh dear!" Weiss yells and Alfarr and she was suddenly scooped up into a large hug that felt like breaking their bones. "Dad…please…let us go." Weiss breathed out.

"My beautiful girl. How are you?" The elder Schnee asks crying tears of joy.

Weiss coughs. "Fine. Let us go before you break our spines." She wheezes.

The elder Schnee lets them go.

Alfarr coughs as he gets his breathing back. "Try and be careful sir. The wolves may not like that."

"Wolves?" The elder Schnee asks before Alfarr points to the side where six wolves were.

Weiss giggles a bit as some of them growled at him. "Watch out. One scratch on Alfarr and they will rip you to shreds."

"Tusha." Alfarr says and the six immediately calmed down and started playing in the snow again.

Weiss sighs. "So dad, here for the real wedding preparations?"

"Of course." The elder Schnee says happily.

Alfarr sighs. "Let me guess, you want to speak to the elder?"

"That would be nice and my daughter, we have a surprise for you." The elder Schnee says.

Weiss blinks. "What is it?"

"I see you have grown up a lot since last I saw you." A feminine stern voice says.

Weiss became wide eyed and looks to the doorway and sees a woman standing there. "Mother?"

"So how are you doing?" Weiss's mother asks.

Weiss gulps nervously. "Well…I…"

Alfarr puts a hand on her back, steeling her nerves a bit.

"I am fine and very happy mother." Weiss says with composure.

Alfarr raises an eyebrow and looks to her mother and looks her over.

"Weiss, I think some introduction are in order." Alfarr says.

Weiss sighs. "Meet my mother. Mother, meet Alfarr. My future husband."

Weiss's mother says nothing as she examined him closely until Weiss' father wrapped a hand around her shoulder. "Come now Gwenda, isn't this a joyous day?" Weiss's father asks.

Gwenda raises an eyebrow. "Supposed to be Alexander."

"Come on my lovely wife. We must support our daughter." Alex says before laughing hardily.

Alfarr leans over to Weiss. "I'm guessing he was drawn by her great attitude to things?"

Weiss says nothing and elbows Alfarr the exact same way as her mother does to Alexander into the gut.

Alfarr groans as Alex laughs. "I see." Alfarr groans rubbing his stomach. "Watch it." He said carefully, going back to buying up the remaining food.

"I see you are doing well…but where are the servants hired?" Gwenda asks.

Alfarr looks up to her sharply as he continues to arrange the food. "There has never been anyone here but me since my mother died. Please leave it at that."

"Mother. Everyone here is basically, mostly, trying to survive and keep the walls holding from the creatures and grimm. Most are either warrior, farmers, fishermen, which is ironically one of the most dangerous jobs, and miners." Weiss says.

Alfarr sighs. "And add to the fact that the fish life here is…"

"Eek! Crab on the loose!" Ruby yells running past in the hall as a giant crab chases after her at a slow pace.

"Big." Alfarr said grabbing the mop and goes over and pokes it shell and makes it turn to him and snap its claws. "Come on. Back into the pit." He said trying to poke him along before shards of a wood went flying past him and he looks to see the mop handle chopped down to a nub. "Congratulations. You became the menu." He said flipping over it and grabs it by the sides of its shell and carries it to the kitchen. "As you can clearly see here. Caught the crab Ruby!" He calls down the hall.

"Who unlocked the door?!" Coco calls before slamming it and the fiddling of locks was heard.

"Sorry! Curious after all that talk! Didn't realize they are that fast!" Blake calls.

"So this is as big as they get?" Alex asks.

"Oh no…one moment." Alfarr says before slamming the crab onto the floor before punching it in the head with a crunching sound. "This one isn't half the size they grow to."

"Didn't you mention that there are way bigger ones in the deep ocean that not even the fisherman try and dare catch one that is in the trench?" Weiss asks leaning against the counter.

"Yeah, that too." Alfarr says starting to look for something to crack open the shell.

"Try this son." Alex said showing a large wrench that was half the size of him.

"Very well." Alfarr says before putting on goggles, a mask, and an apron before taking it and started to work on it.

"Is this an everyday occurrence?" Gwenda asks eyeing the dead crab.

"I have many of them below us. Growing them for eating later." Alfarr says working on the shell.

"So you have a fish farm?" Gwenda asks raising an eyebrow.

"They are crustacean, my dear." Alex corrects.

Gwenda waves him off and ignores Alex. "So you are a farmer?"

"No, my mother was and she taught me everything. I am more like what you would have referred to as a ranger. The bow-wielding kind." Alfarr says.

Gwenda hums. "I see. So you prefer to fight more."

"No, I prefer to protect my people…Weiss, you have informed her about the materia, right?" Alfarr asks.

Weiss clears her throat. "I thought she knew. She did help supply us with the ship."

"You are speaking of the guardians, right?" Gwenda asks.

"Yes. Our main job before the attacks was finding and gathering them." Alfarr says.

Weiss sighs. "Of course, after the attacks, it was put on hold so we were placed on repair and protect detail for the mini-transmitters."

"That reminds me, I should arrange a meeting with the elder…I hope grandfather is ready." Alfarr says thinking about it as he rips off a claw.

"Grandfather?" Gwenda asks thinking to how far this future son-in-law was in the line of the leaders.

"Yes, Alfarr is the grandfather of the elder the leader of the village…city." Weiss corrects herself after Alfarr looks to her.

"We really need a classification." Alfarr notes.

"So we might need help with something." Weiss says.

Gwenda lets a smile out of the corner of her mouth. "And that is?"

"They have been confined here for centuries in this settlement because of the creatures outside the walls that they have only recently, as in the last six months, made progress in just clearing out a pass to just get further inland. So they have nowhere for a honeymoon." Weiss explains.

Gwenda blinks surprised as she stares at them before laughing out loud and surprising them at the change in demeanor.

"Got it." Alfarr says getting the top of the shell off.

Weiss winces at the guts inside. "Can't believe you work with that every time."

"You get used to it." Alfarr says starting to clean it.

"Keep the eggs. I like a good soup." Alex mentions as Gwenda kept laughing.

"Yeah, we have some egg in an incubator. Trying to hatch a few new creatures to tame." Alfarr informs as Pyra waddles in, smelling the blood.

Weiss smiles to him. "Hello, Pyra. Sorry, but Alfarr is still cleaning. You can lick the shell afterward, though."

"What is that?" Alex says as his wife stops laughing to look at the new arrival.

Weiss smiles and scratches Pyra's nose and makes him pant. "Pyra. Our…what was he again Alfarr? I kinda started thinking of him like a dog. Look at him." She said as he flops his tongue out and keeps leaning into her scratching.

"No real name for the species." Alfarr says.

"Basically, he is a fire-breathing T-Rex." Winter informs.

Pyra pants and drools slime into the carb shell and make the leftover blood sizzle. "And anything burns if you're not careful." Weiss said carefully not to touch the drool. "Oh, Ruby is so proud of you." She said hugging his neck.

"You are joking right. A T-Rex?" Alex asks.

Weiss smiles to him. "He's so cute, isn't he?"

"We are not joking. We fought a fully grown one the first time we visited." Winter says.

Alfarr hums. "I think we broke them." He said kicking the shell over to Pyra and he starts to lick it.

"Wait, so could other dinosaurs be alive on this island?" Alex asks.

"What is a dinosaur anyways?" Alfarr asks.

Weiss smiles. "An old creature to before there was even us around. Mostly it was reptiles and some mammals roaming the planet."

"Ah." Alfarr says before going back to preparing the crab.

"Any creatures?" Alex asks.

"There are those huge walkers." Weiss mentions. "The ones that spit up pure dust themselves."

"They eat and grow incredibly pure dust crystal in their stomachs." Alfarr corrects.

Both Alex and Gwenda were shocked at that. "Heck, you even tried a piece and said it tasted like spicy food." Winter said.

"You have your methods. We have our own when it comes to dust." Alfarr says.

Weiss giggles. "How could I forget? You had to find pure crystals."

"Uh huh?" Alfarr says starting a fire under the cauldron.

Weiss sighs. "So mother…what's a good place to have a honeymoon?"

"Right now?" Gwenda asks.

Weiss raises an eyebrow. "No. Like after the wedding. What can be a good place because we still have to plan a few things."

"I mean with the state of the world, that is a tough question." Gwenda says thinking on it.

Weiss sighs. "Of course. Oh well, looks like it's your home Alfarr."

"We will find somewhere and go there." Alfarr calls pouring water into the cauldron.

Weiss shakes her head. "With the state of the world, that's hard."

"I heard." Alfarr calls.

Weiss hums. "Well it's fun enough here and we do get snowed in. Maybe a honeymoon in the home while a snowstorm is happening. You will keep us warm anyway."

"So a skiing trip huh?" Alex asks.

Weiss hums as she looks to him. "No. I mean here. We can just live here for the honeymoon. We get snowed in once in awhile and that's a good time for it to officially start. Once it's over, back to work."

"You are not going to give me a grandchild anytime soon, are you?" Gwenda asks.

Weiss smiles. "At this time and troubles here, not likely."

"I see. So when should we meet with the elder?" Gwenda asks her husband.

Alex hums. "We will meet him when Alfarr is ready."

"I will arrange a meeting after lunch." Alfarr says.

Alex smiles. "Then when is that?"

"He is cooking it." Weiss says.

Alfarr holds up a large cauldron as he stirred it. "Why don't you sit down in the living room and catch up. I will keep cooking here."

"Winter, why can't you find a good man to marry?" Gwenda asks walking away.

Winter stayed silent to not let it slip that Qrow is on the list.

"I will start making the tea. I will be there soon." Weiss says.

Alfarr leans over. "Will she ever mention anything about Qrow?"

"Post-wedding." Weiss jokes.

Alfarr chuckles before looking to her seriously. "Weiss, when do you really want a child?"

"Maybe I do." Weiss says reaching over and grabs his hand.

Alfarr raises an eyebrow. "But you don't know when."

"Yeah." Weiss says moving closer.

Alfarr hums. "And so that is why you can't give a clear answer to them."

"Yes, my love." Weiss says.

Alfarr smiles. "You better give them the latest news. I'm sure they are anxious from our end."

"They can wait. Knowing my mother, we will try and negotiate a deal for buying dust here and trying to learn how you process it to such a degree." Weiss says.

Alfarr chuckles. "Expected that from a Schnee. Always playing a few steps ahead with just a few pieces of information. We barely mentioned the dust and only a fourth of it stated that we make it. The others are all wildlife. If she's that smart, I fear you with a deal."

"Don't worry. You will become family. She will give a good deal." Weiss says smiling as she leans against him.

Alfarr hums. "Yeah, she doesn't look the type to cheat. And I doubt you will as well."

Weiss smiles and touches his lips with her finger.

Alfarr just smiles and wraps an arm around her waist.

"Now let me have one last kiss." Weiss says.

Alfarr nods and lightly kisses her before letting go of her. "I have to still cook. Go on."

Weiss smiles before taking the now whistling kettle and some teacups she had brought from the Resolute and headed where her family was.

Alfarr shakes his head as he watches her leave. "Crazy family…but a good one." He mused to himself.
