Day out
-
Jaune was out with team JNPR. After the victory they had over the Embermane, they decided a day out would be great.
Jaune went over to a local cafe, who's owner was a friend of his dad's
"Master Arc! What a pleasant surprise" Gerard Granite greeted Jaune.
Ever since Jaune left, Gerard worked for the Arcs until the fifth year of Jaune leaving. Nicholas told Gerard that he had bought a shop in Vale and wanted him to watch over it.
This was the patriarch's excuse to let Gerard have some freedom and spend the rest of his life doing something he wants.
"Gerard, you don't have to call me that. You aren't even our Butler anymore" Jaune told the silver haired yet middle-aged looking man.
With a smile, Gerard waved it off "I'll always be in you and your family's debt forever Master Jaune. I will not stop reffering to you as 'master' until the day I die" exchanging the 'Arc' with 'Jaune' as a way of showing his unyielding loyalty.
"Well anyway, I have friends with me. You mind if we uh... get some seats? " Jaune asked
Gerard's smile somehow grew wider "There's always a seat reserved for an Arc" he said as he told Jaune to let his friends in.
"Woahhhh this place is so fancy" Nora was impressed
"Nora, don't break anything... please" Ren begged
"Hmm, a mixture of all designs all over the kingdoms. Jaune, this place is wonderful" Pyrrha was almost as impressed as Nora
This "local cafe" was called "The Golden Arcs" which, even the rich people would struggle to get a seat in. It was famous around the kingdom, celebrities pay royalties just to have a dozen cups of their divine coffee.
Gerard himself, personally lead team JNPR to their table. Everyone else in the store was bewildered. What is the owner doing, leading a bunch of kids to the best table in the cafe!
Jaune and his team were sat on a table that showed them a view of the docks.
"Master Jaune, what would you and your team want today? " Gerard asked
"Oh I'm fine with anything" Jaune said
"Pancakes! " Nora said as she pointed to the menu.
"I'd love some Mistrali tea and some of the biscuits" Ren said as he was low-key excited
"I'm fine with anything as well" Pyrrha said
"Will that be all? " Gerard asked
"Actually, Pyrrha said she'd want the best slice of chocolate cake from here" Jaune told Gerard
Pyrrha blushed but didn't refuse. Gerard laughed and wrote it down
"Your orders will be here shortly, Master Jaune" Gerard told Jaune
Pyrrha lightly punched Jaune on the shoulder "You didn't have to do that Jaune... " she said still embarrassed
"But I knew you like chocolate so... " Jaune said smiling sheepishly
A few minutes later. Moving on from teasing Pyrrha, Nora was curious "Jauney, why does that guy keep calling you master? Is he like...your Butler?"
"Well, actually miss, I am" Gerard answered as he was pushing a cart that had all the food they ordered
"I used to serve in the main Arc home before master Jaune left" Gerard said as he gave each person their food.
"Jaune left home? " Pyrrha asked, getting over being teased.
"Well, he left, but Master Nicholas and his wife gave him permission to train under Thorin" Gerard told them
Ren, Pyrrha and Nora didn't know who Thorin was so they just expected him to be a great huntsman.
"Well, enough of that. I want to hear of Master Arc's school life" Gerard said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
He's gonna tell Sapphron isn't he? Jaune sighed as he just accepted his fate.
"Our fearless leader is suuuuper strong, mister. Like we fought this massive bird thing at initiation and he lead us and he used a big hammer like me! There was even this one time he tried to serenade Weiss-" Nora said happily, as she was eating her pancakes
"Nora no! " Jaune said trying to stop Nora from saying anything about that one time he tried to sing for Weiss because Ruby dared him to
"That seems interesting,what's your name miss?" Gerard laughed
"I'm Nora! And this is my bestest bestie Ren" Nora said as she pointed at Ren who just smiled politely.
"I'm Pyrrha Nikos, Jaune's partner, nice to meet you" Pyrrha said, extending her hand formally
"Miss Nikos, it's quite a surprise you'd partner up with Master Jaune" Gerard said
"Well, I'd like to think it was up to fate" Pyrrha said
"Master Jaune, did you tell her about what your dad said about your aura? " Gerard asked
"Wha-No! Dad said I'd do it with my partner" Jaune said
"But isn't she your partner? "
"Yeah but... Not that kind of partner! " Jaune was red faced
Hmm? What's wrong about his aura? Pyrrha thought
"Jaune, did you have anything you have to do about your aura? " She asked Jaune as she was enjoying the chocolate cake.
"N-no It's nothing Pyr" Jaune said
Pyrrha then squealed in delight as she ate the wonderful cake that was served to her. Her hand was on her cheek as she ate a piece. Humming at the wonder that was, the cake.
Yeah no chance Jaune thought as he looked at his beautiful partner
Jaune's father said that an Arc's aura's second stage could be unlocked by a kiss from his 'partner'
Jaune of course, wasn't Pyrrha's 'partner' so... she was off the table.
"Well anyway, we're almost done. Can I talk to you for a few moments Gerard? " Jaune said
"Why, of course" the man said
-oOoOoOo-
"I'll be just a sec guys" Jaune said as he got to Gerard. He then went with Gerard to a back room.
"So master Jaune, what did you need? "
"Dad called me the other day to tell me Thorin was heading to Vale, do you know when? " Jaune asked
"Well, master Jaune, I think Thorin should be on his way now" Gerard said as Jaune's face brightened excited to see his master.
"Can I also have more of that cake? " Jaune asked
"For Thorin? " Gerard asked
"For... Pyr" Jaune answered
"Oh, well, I'll have it delivered to Beacon" Gerared told him smiling
Jaune blushed "It's not like that! "
"Sure Master Jaune, sure"
Jaune then left for his team.
-oOoOoOo-
"What did you talk about Jaune?" Pyrrha asked Jaune
"Oh, master would be heading to Vale soon. I was excited" Jaune said as they were walking near the docks
Gods it smells like fish Jaune thought as he covered his nose.
"You no good stowaway!" a man shouted
"Hey! A no good stowaway would've gotten caught! I'm a great stowaway" he shouted and ran
He ran past team RWBY and winked at Blake. Jaune noticed this and felt amused, he knew who this blonde monkey faunus was.
He ran past Jaune and Jaune decided to trip him. The faunus however jumped over his foot and with a smirk looked at Jaune.
Jaune smirked too, Nice jump.
"After him! " Weiss shouted as she ran with team RWBY
Wow, they're probably scouting the competition Jaune thought and laughed.
"Jaune, do you know that boy? " Pyrrha asked him as they were walking
"Yeah Jauney, I saw him smirk at you" Nora said
"Yep, met him in Vacuo in my time there. He's a cool dude" Jaune said
"Well yeah, I mean did you see his abs!? " Nora said
"Nora" Ren said
"Sorry Ren"
They kept walking and Jaune thought "Hey, do you guys wanna go over and see why RWBY was chasing that faunus? "
"Sure, let's go! " Nora said, full of energy.
And like that JNPR was off to another adventure.
