The three team members were staring down Cordovin from behind iron bars. Her strange pair of lackeys standing behind her.
"Lady you are off your rocker!" Nora called out.
"Don't make the crazy lady mad," Jaune said before realizing he shouldn't have put it that way.
"What else can she do, stick a hippo on us?" Nora responded.
"Why would I have a hippo?" Cordovin asked. "It seems Beacon wasn't as prestigious as it seemed if ne'er-do-wells like you attended. You must be the worst team that ever darkened its doorways. Where is your fourth member anyway? Or are you just some leftovers that they took pity on?"
"We had the most amazing girl that ever attended on our team." The Jaune responded with a mix of sorrow remorse and anger.
"Did she come to her senses and quit or did your incompetence lead to tragedy?" The old lady sneered back.
"That does it!" Nora said taking out her hammer "You can badmouth me all you like but..." her mouth was covered and she was dragged off before she can continue.
"Starting a war will not help us," Ren said as he pulled Nora away.
"I'll clock her for dissing Pyrrha and her hippo too!" Nora yelled.
Jaune gave a sigh of defeat "I know you're upset, but you'll only make things worse for us. We should probably go cool off somewhere."
"So she has you guys grounded as well." A new voice spoke up the three students looked up to see Team CFVY all looking annoyed.
"She has a hippo?" Velvet asked.
Nora's response was to blush and stammer. She thought Velvet was cute for a while but with how busy her team was she never found a good opportunity to talk to her, plus she was shy and hard to approach. Encountering velvet unexpectedly really threw her off guard.
"Nora speachless," Jaun said in astonishment.
"Never thought I would see the day," Ren added. "Almost worth being grounded by Cordovin."
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Jaune asked I thought you guys went to " ... What was it again?"
"Shade" Cocoa responded. "Well we were there, but with so many of the students from Beacon displaced there, we had a bit of a supply and demand problem when it came to Huntsmen and Huntresses. So we hopped on a flight to what was supposed to be a quick mission and ended up stranded here with the lockdown."
"So you ran into that hag too?" Coco spoke up. "Well, at least you don't have a Faunus on the team. She's racist as well."
"She has no soul if she can hate the cutest girl at Beacon." Nora blurted out.
"But Nora your not a Faunus." Velvet timely sated before covering her mouth.
"Boys can I have a word with you?" Coco said leading off Jaune and Ren.
"Looks like Beacon's matchmaker needs a taste of her own medicine." Coco chuckled.
Ren answered, "Yes, the queen of hearts with only one blemish on her record has her eyes on some bunny."
"One blemish…" Jaune started to ask before realizing " oh."
Coco course corrected the conversation "Anyway I think the feeling might be mutual. She takes plenty of pictures of weapons but the only people she ever photographed were the team and her."
"But what do we do?" Jaune asked.
"My first thought is ditch 'em both." Cocoa admitted. "But that's not nice."
Velvet's ears pricked up. "Hey umm… Nora, want to get hot chocolate?"
"You mean me?" Nora asked.
"I don't see any other people named Nora here." Velvet chuckled.
"I would be happy to," Nora said taking her hand before whispering. "Why?"
Velvet Groaned "Because what Coco is planning is painful to hear."
Nora Smirked "Does Coco want to ask me out too?"
"I hope not!" Velvet blurted out ears standing straight up as she covered her mouth causing Nora to laugh.
