Stepping into a den, Rhodopolis noticed a sword and shield above the fireplace. Removing the sword from its holder, Her green eyes studied the sword. Must be one of those pre Great War weapons since it isn't a hybrid weapon.

"Put that down," interrupted Rhodopolis's studying of the sword.

"Winnie, is that how you greet a friend," replied Rhodopolis balancing the flat side of the sword's blade on her index finger, "What's the name of your dead son's sword again?"

"Aruns," taking Aruns from Rhodopolis, "Now leave," pressing the sharp edge of Aruns against the underside of Rhodopolis's chin.

Smiling, "Someone forgot their oath."

Slapping away the blade from her throat, she grabbed Winifred's right arm. Pushing the sleeve towards Winifred's elbow revealed a skull spider surrounded by tentacles.

"You swore an oath to the Goddess Salem," releasing Winifred's arm

Covering the mark up, "It was a..."

"A young, brash, stupid moment. You still swore."

"What do you want?'" returning Aruns with Ate, Molay's shield.

"Simple lien, resources to destroy a troublesome team of hunters and huntresses," bringing up Qrow's image, "This one has special meaning to you."

Staring at Qrow's image, "He means nothing to me."

"Notice who he's close to," revealing an image of Glynda talking to Qrow, "I believe she's a thorn in your side."

"So that's all?"

"Like I said lien and resources," leaning closer, "I'll do the dirty work unless," licking Winifred's right ear, "you need more motivation."

"As long she suffers, Rhondo."

Smiling, "That's the Winifred I remember," walking towards the door, "I'll be in touch," exiting the den.

Since her portals were still opening at sky level not ground level, Raven was fine tuning her portal location diction,.

Detecting a sigh, "Your breathing is distracting,"

"I can't help that your hair complements your eyes."

Noticing black streaks appearing among her dark red hair, Tai liked her with dark red hair then again her black hair did set off her red eyes. Yep, he was falling into that trap men find themselves in when it involves women.

"Why don't you join Qrow in chasing older women?"

"I like chasing his sister."

She blushed. He smiled. Her anger kicked in.

"I'm busy here!"

"Landing in embarrassing situations."

"Any suggestions then?"

"Try imaging your subject at eye level."

Confusion covered her face.

"How?"

Staring Raven in the eye, "Notice the difference in our height."

"Yes."

"Now add that to your equation of opening portals."

Sighing, she focused on Qrow noting him being taller. Despite she was born five seconds before him, she hated that he was taller.

Stepping into the brownstone, Rhodopolis put her raincoat into the closet when her ears caught, "Sister!"

Kneeling down "Cindy," said Rhodopolis hugging the little girl.

Finishing their hug, "Sister, did you bring me something?"

"First, show me how a lady walks."

Entering the living room, Cindy took three books off the piano. Placing them on her head, Cindy walked towards her sister. Turning, she swayed to her right. Keeping her balance, she walked towards the other end of the room.

Making her way back to her sister, "Well, sister?"

"You got your lady walk down. How's your scales and arpeggios?"

Placing the books on the coffee table, Cindy stood beside the piano.

Clasping her fingers together, "I'm ready, maestro."

Sitting at the piano, Rhodopolis's fingers tickled some ivory keys.

"Do mi so do," exited from Cindy's mouth, "Do so mi do
Every truly cultured music student knows
You must learn your scales and your arpeggios
Bring the music ringing from your chest
And not your nose
While you sing your scales and your
arpeggios."

"If you're faithful to your daily practicing," joined Rhodopolis.
"You will find your progress is encouraging
Do mi so mi do mi so mi fa la so it goes
When you do your scales and your arpeggios.
Do mi so do
."

"Do mi so do," sung both sister, "do so mi do
Do mi so do do so mi do
Though at first it seems as though it doesn't show
Like a tree ability will bloom and grow
"

"If you're smart," added Rhodopolis, "you'll learn by heart what every artist knows."

"You must learn your scales," sung the La' Fella sisters.
And your arpeggios!"

Hugging her sister, "Cindy, you earned this," said Rhodopolis pulling a necklace from her purse.

Staring at the pendent shaped flame, "It's our family symbol," remarked Cindy.

"Remember, let the flames of your ambition burn those that try to stop you."

Standing in his dorm room, "Summer, Glynda isn't interested in me," said Qrow staring at Summer.

"It's Glynda now," replied Summer, "not Miss Goodwitch."

A swirling black portal with a red border appeared.

Stepping from the portal, Raven stood between Summer and Qrow.

"Your angles are getting better, sis," said Qrow.

"I'm still too close," said Raven towards the portal, "Taiyang."

Stepping from the portal, "Well, you're not falling on your face," remarked Tai, "This time."

"You should use your sword to judge your length from Qrow," replied Summer.

Rubbing her forehead, "I'm hungery," said Raven leaving Qrow's room.

"I'll join you," said Summer following Raven, "We need some girl time."

Watching Summer leave with Raven, "Trouble on the love front," remarked Tai.

"You're romancing my sister," replied Qrow.

"Which is fun, however I'm not chasing out of my league while staying several steps of a marriage."

"No, wonder Raven wants to kill you."
