Chapter 2
Walking down the dark mostly deserted streets Blake takes in the quiet sounds around her. The humming lights, the beeps and honks of far off cars, and the light summer winds sweeping across alleyways. Pulling out her phone the raven haired woman clicks the power button once to see the screen light up reading 3:45 am. With a shrug she returns her phone to her jeans and continues her walk all while feeling as if someone was following her. Turning from here to there she let her legs carry her for a while longer until she stood before a crosswalk.
"You can come out now Adam, I know you're there." She says while keeping her eyes forward.
"It's been three years and I still can't sneak up on you." A deep voice man said as he stood from his hiding place behind a dumpster. Walking up to her, Adam stood next to his ex partner and mimicked the way she stood.
"Why are you here Adam, I said I'm not coming back." Blake said with a heavy conviction in her tone.
"I know and I accepted that a while ago. No I'm here just to talk." He said. Blake hazard a quick glance towards his face to try reading his expression, but her golden eyes were met with the ivory paint of his mask.
"Why don't I believe you?" She retorts in monotone.
"Now really Blake must you be so pessimistic?" He asks shooting her a glance only for her to scowl back at him. "I guess so. Well believe what you want I am here just for a chat."
"Then start chatting." She says as the crosswalk light turns green. With a healthy step she starts moving and Adam is easily able to keep with his own long strides.
"How are you and your roommate?" He asks casually. Blake however stops dead and stairs with mixed surprise and worry.
"How… How did you know I had a roommate?" She whispers as her bow begins twitching frantically.
"We have members everywhere, and the Schnee's attract a lot of attention, even when they live a 'quiet and modest life' like you two do." He says yet again casually. Blake shakes herself from her shock and is quick to catch up with the dark dressed bull faunus.
"Adam I swear that-" Blake started her threat but Adam was quick to cut off her threat by simply holding up his hand.
"Nothing is going to happen, a very short while after you left Ghira stepped in when he saw how Sienna was leading. Believe it or not things are changing Blake." He said with a small callus chuckle. While still understandable on edge Blake continued to walk with Adam for some time until the sun started to crest the horizon.
"Good bye Adam, I almost dread to say it but this was… nice. Tell my parents I said hi would you?" Blake said as she stood on the steps of her apartment block. Adam gave a silent nod back and walked away, seemingly melding into the shadow as he did so. Rolling her eyes Blake checks her surroundings for any additional followers before walking up the steps and into the building.
"Hello Ms. Belladonna finally back I see." An old man said with a tone much like a parent catching their child sneaking back in.
"Oh hello Sir, still up I see." She shot back before smiling.
"Oh you know these old bones, always keeping me up. Haha, why don't you head on up, before Weiss wakes up and does her best howler monkey." He jokes lightly, which gets another smile from the raven haired girl. With a small wave she ascended the stairs to her apartment, and quietly let herself in, before jumping nearly out of her skin as someone behind her speaks up.
"And where have you been?" A voice asked from behind her. Turning quickly around Blake sees the white haired, pale skinned hesewiress glaring at her with crossed arms and an aggravated tapping foot.
"Well…" The cat faunus begins before being stopped by a single raised hand for the second time that night.
"You know what nevermind, your safe and that's what matters." She says with her glare held firmly in place.
"Thanks and you can drop the act princess the old man already saw me come in." Blake said as she all but ran for the life giving drink that was tea.
"Oh good then I don't have to put on that ridiculous act." The white haired woman said as she slumped onto the couch. Blake giggled at 'unladylike acting of the Schnee heiress' before taking her warm cup and joining Weiss on the couch.
"So what had you out until six in the morning?" Weiss asked while trying to stifle a yawn.
"Just walking around, ended up running into an old friend. So what should we do for breakfast?" She answered while also switching the topic.
"Well, we don't really have any food, but there is that new place on the corner of Patch and Haven." Weiss said while letting the topic drop for the moment. The twin stomach grumbles were all the answers they needed as they quickly showered and dressed before heading out.
