Ash walked down the hallway following Ruby's trail of rose petals towards the library and felt the staff in his hand. He looked at. It with much weird for him holding his weapon. It was shrunk down to the size of a pen it was amazing the technology Vale had here. He continued walking until he reached the library it was Massive and there was a lot to read. Going up to one of the study spaces and found his team and also Team JPNR studying next to them. He watched the board game that Ruby and the others were playing. Ruby saw him and smiled but blushed and looked back down at her cards.

"What you playing?" He asked

Yang who he was standing behind smirked and stood up and put him in an head lock and brought him down beside her and his head was cheek to cheek with her. It was pleasant and she liked how it felt. On the other hand Ash was a little uncomfortable and he kept his eyes forward then be tempted to look down towards her chest.

It's a strategy game Ash it's using return pieces and characters and trying to use these cards in order to get the best advantage to take over the world. Ash nod's still a little red from his head being next to her. He lets them go back to the game while he walks over around them he can tell all of their emotions and he feels that Blake is hiding something from or that she's stressed about something. And Ash comes up and starts to talk with Pyrrah again.

Hello he said she turned and smiled at him and said hello back he stood next to her and asked "how have you been?"

She said "I am alright." He could tell that she felt uncomfortable not with him but for some other reason. Then Jon walked in everyone's talking and having a good time and I still feels uncomfortable being around large crowds but he can tell that Blake is very quiet and not pay attention very much. And she seems the very reserved kind but through his Aura you can tell that she's very stressed about something.

And of course everyone perks have when he decides to leave Jaune says "that is it because we know that she's a ..." but thankfully Pyrrah quickly shut him up by throwing a magazine in his face. Blake stares at him as he walks past them there are use me for a moment her beautiful yellow eyes meeting his sharp brown ones both knew at that moment both of them carry some baggage. She gave him a reassuring smile he just nodded to her and she walked past the others were concerned Weiss being a little bit more stuck-up but does say that she wants to help.

They continued back to the dorms where Ash and the other girls make it there to see Blake while Ruby politely confronts her about what's going on since what happened at the Docks in which Yang turns to Ash and filling him in on the situation.

"Blake what's been going on with you? We have all been worried about you since we kicked Roman's butt back at the docks." Ruby asked sitting across from her. Blake avoided her gaze and said nothing.

"...and that's the end of it." Yang said sadly as she caught Ash up on what happened before he arrived. Ash had a sad frown "I can feel for her.." he began, looking over to her. But at that moment the images of his past came into mind has his own mind seemed to be turning against him 'what about those that you send to an early grave did they believe that Team Rocket was the end-all to be all. Same way Blake thought that the White Fang was a force for good but turned evil and cruel.' He walked over to them and sat across from Blake and next to Ruby. She looked up and him as he stared at her. "Please Blake," he began. "I know you want to help them out and i get the idea that you owe it to these people but..." he looked at his hands and the memories of what he had done in the past. He then took her hands into his and continued "But the choices they make are theirs and theirs alone. I get you want to help them but you need help and yes we and not faunas but we are your comrades and friends and i wish i had someone there for me at my darker days. So please, let us fight beside you in this fight."

Blake blushed slightly at his speech and looked back at the rest of her friends. She pondered his words in her head as his voice and tone seemed to hold experience. She finally sighed "okay Ash and everyone I am sorry for the way I have acted."

"No problem." yang smiled

"We are a team" Weiss added

"We will help you out with anything." Ruby smiled but as they continue Ruby cries out that she left her board game back at the library and she runs off to go get it. Ash out of muscle memory followed after her for a moment but then thinks to himself "why did I run after her?" He stood in the hallway thinking back to when he would chase after Misty or Brock whenever they had something or needed help with a problem he would rush after them to support them but he stopped. He felt his emotions of past wonders coming back to him but he repressed them. He thinks to himself 'I letting my guard down too much round these girls.' But the other part of his mind tries to encourage him about moving on and letting his true self back out.

'Wouldn't be nice to have that passion again Ash. To run and feel the trill of adventure and wonder be a driving force for your life.' he ponders before turning back the as he turns he feels three hostile auras approaching him. He slowly turned and saw three people approaching him. Two were women and the other was a guy and thanks to Ash's Aura sight he could tell but the man was wearing prosthetic legs since its Aura only went down towards his knees before stopping. The other girl dark-skinned with a very green hair she seemed very cherry but cold-hearted but the most dangerous of them all that he could see was the woman in front of them. Her Aura was bright red with Amber eyes that seem to always be looking for something like a cat looking for a bird to catch. He stood there as they approached him as the more dangerous woman introduces herself. "Hello there handsome.." she flirted as she drew closer. But he was well rehearsed in this. He made himself relaxed and more wide-eye innocent type. "Hey there." he answered.

"Mind if i ask where is the guest dorms?" she voice sounded like honey but Ash knew her words were poisoned.

"I am sorry but i don't know that." Which was perfectly true as he and only just arrived himself. Her eyes examined his figure and posture.

"Aww that's too back hun." she smiled maybe we can tour the campus together later." But as she walks past Ash felt the sudden urge to fight but he can't just attack someone because of their aura 'I could fight her but gives up any information i could find out away and I would be putting more people in danger.'

He says "it's a pleasure to meet you" she gives him a look over and he walks away with a smile the other girl also looks him over and gives him a wink as she walks away the other guy just gives him an odd but Ash knows that these three are going to cause some trouble later even goes back to look for Ruby and the others.
