Vanir Argent: Annoyed did not begin to cover how Vanir felt about being forced to go and speak to Ozpin about what happened during the mission that kept them from being back at Beacon before the semester began, in fact he would rather have gone to Juniors with Niren for a drink instead of this.
"This is going to suck." He said to himself as he walked and began to take notice of all the students from the other kingdoms and the soldiers and robots fresh from Atlas. Things weren't going so well then, the council was more than likely crashing down on Ozpin pretty hard right now too.
Vanir's ears began to twitch as he heard a large amount of noise before turning a corner and feeling something or someone slamming into his gut, he had removed his armor and stored it in his locker with Gram and everything else he took with him on missions. A moment later he tasted something bitter in his mouth before spitting out a rose petal that had been crushed between his teeth.
"What." He said simply before standing up and hearing some barking from a small corgi which was looking up at him with a pair of friendly yet oddly disturbing eyes. Vanir's attention was turned from the dog to the person who rammed into him after he heard a young woman groaning, a moment later he was holding out the mechanical arm to help her up.
"Since when was headbutting someone in the gut a way to say hello?" He asked, any lingering anger disappearing as he became amused at what just happened to him. He took a moment to look at the woman in front of him, though it may have been more accurate to call her a girl still given her height and apparent age, fifteen at a guess.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to you know, ram your stomach like that." She said with some panic, Vanir didn't exactly give off the kind of vibe that made people who just met him feel comfortable.
"Don't worry about that, it'll take more than a girl and her pet to kill me, this is proof of that at least." Vanir said while smiling and moving the Hades slightly, enough to make the noise that a machine would make anyway though in a few moments he would regret doing that.
"Woah that is so cool!" The girl shouted, making Vanir's ears move downward from the higher pitched tones near the end of her sentence, soon the girl was zooming around Vanir and inspecting every inch of the mechanical arm. "How long have you had it? What's it do? How strong is it?" Were some of the many questions she asked before she finally stood still, seemingly excited about the device in front of her.
"Beyond being a replacement for my right arm, not much, it can fire a single beam every few minutes though it stings like hell, I've had it for a few months now and it can lift a small car if I need to." Vanir replied, another smile was forming as the strangeness in front of him continued to grow. This girl was already making a decent impact on his mood even though he didn't know her name.
"By the way girl, I don't know your name yet and you don't know mine, how about we start this conversation over with that?" Vanir said, checking the watch on his wrist and seeing that he still had some time before Goodwitch sent a search party out for him.
"Oh yeah, My name's Ruby Rose, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ruby said while holding out a hand.
"Vanir Argent, same to you." Vanir replied while shaking her hand, the two of them began to talk for a while after that, Ruby explained pretty much her first semester to him and he gave her the abridged version of how he ended up having the Hades. This continued for a while until Vanir felt a sharp tug on his ear and smelled the familiar scent of Glynda Goodwitch, the only perk of having a beast's sense of smell was that he could tell who someone was from a distance, with her it was usually a pleasant smell. Though right now it was not.
"Mr Argent we have been waiting for half an hour for you to arrive, Headmaster Ozpin is waiting for you to explain what happened." Glynda said while starting to drag him away by the ear, Vanir only made a few protests before waving goodbye to Ruby, still wondering why she wore a hood similar to the one that an old man he knew wore.
