Lirril Evergreen: Lirril stood in Ozpins office, looking out the window and admiring the view that he had always had, an empty teacup sat in front of her and she stifled a yawn, Ozpin himself sat in his seat silently, looking at something on his scroll. "Damnit Vanir why do you have to do this?" Lirril thought to herself as she turned from the window and looked around the office, it was an interesting space given how many gears there were but also slightly annoying because of the noise those gears made.
"Miss Evergreen, you can tell me what happened on the mission without Mr Argent yes?" Ozpin asked her after another ten minutes of waiting, he had taken another sip of whatever was in his cup. Apparently he was tired of waiting for him as well.
"Very well, where would you like me to begin?" Lirril replied while walking back over to his desk. "I would like to know how the mission went until the point that your task was completed and Vanir was injured." Ozpin replied with a strange sense of calm.
"The mission went as well as they all do at the start, we meet our contact and set shifts for watching the VIP, after a few days of waiting she finally left the village, only to be attacked by a large number of Grimm, too many for it to be a simple group of them marauding about the countryside." Lirril said after taking a breath to calm herself, this was the one part about being team leader she disliked the most.
"You think they may have led there?" Ozpin asked while raising an eyebrow. "Niren and I didn't rule that possibility out, especially since Vanir and Talia had been assigned to clearing Grimm from the area just a day before she left the village." Lirril replied quickly while putting her arms behind her back.
"Hm, You may go, I'll ask Vanir more about the battle itself, please get yourself something to eat." Ozpin said to Lirril with a small smile of his face, Lirril only bowed before turning to leave the office by the elevator, finally letting herself yawn.
"Dust, I'm hating tonight right now, hopefully there's something left in the cafeteria." Lirril said to herself after entering the elevator and hitting the button for the ground floor, a few minutes later she found herself in the lobby and walking out of the building and into the cool night air.
Lirril was busy working on a list of things to do the next day, classes were short then due to the festival, so she would only need to make sure that there wasn't anything out of the ordinary going on in them. She was so busy with making that list that she didn't notice the person she was about to run into until she did.
"Watch where you're going you dolt!" She said loudly, Lirril only stood there looking at someone she didn't expect to see at Beacon, the heiress of the Schnee dust company.
"Sorry about that." Lirril said after rubbing her eyes, she was tired but she didn't think she was tired enough to be seeing someone who wouldn't usually be outside of Atlas. "Oh you look like you haven't slept for a few days." The young schnee said after taking a moment to look at the person she was about to try and chew out, Lirril did look somewhat disheveled, her eyes had dark rings under them from a lack of sleep due to worrying over Vanir and her hair was also slightly messy.
"I haven't had much of a chance to sleep recently, being the leader of a team of people who don't work well together at times will do that to you." Lirril said before yawning. "I can relate to how that feels, even though i'm not the leader of my team we had a rough start." Weiss said in a way that made Lirril feel a little bit better, she also remembered the girl's name.
"I can imagine, you didn't agree very much and probably fought a large Grimm at some point that probably built up your bonds?" Lirril asked, not surprised by the look on Weiss's face at the most likely accurate description of their first battle. "Well, you aren't that far off from what happened." Weiss said, the two of them both laughed at the whole situation.
"Well don't let it bother you, after a few years you won't want to think about what will happen after graduation, only one more year for my team." Lirril said, a sad smile on her face this time at the thought of being separated from her team, Vanir and Niren would probably leave to go finish their little war and Talia might very well go with them. "You're a third year?" Weiss asked Lirril with surprise at the revelation. "Yeah, it's nothing special, just means we survived three years of work and hell on earth because of two of us having some problems." Lirril replied before looking at her own watch, it was getting late.
"Hey uh, I've got to meet some of my team for some food, I'll talk to you later though, is that ok?" Lirril said, ending the conversation as politely as she could. "That's fine, I'm looking for my team too." Weiss said before bowing and leaving Lirril to her own business.
"Talia won't believe this." Lirril said to herself as she began to walk towards the cafeteria again, this time less tired and a little bit more happy with things.
