Ruby Rose: Support A
Avatar: Ruby?
Ruby: Oh, hey there, Avatar, I thought Jaune was taking next watch?
Avatar: I took over for him. We need to talk. And I can't wait any longer because it'll be awhile before we're alone again.
Ruby (blushes): Umm…what?
Avatar (embarrassed): Oh…er, sorry, bad phrasing. Listen, it's about that talk we had at the bakery.
Ruby (annoyed): Avatar, I don't want to talk about it.
Avatar: Oh? And why not?
Ruby: Because I know you. You're worried about me. And while I appreciate it, I don't need you babying me. I'm a grown woman now.
Avatar: Ruby, you're sixteen.
Ruby (pouts): I might as well be grown, considering the situation we're all in.
Avatar: Okay, Ruby, listen, I'm not babying you, I'm talking to you friend to friend.
Ruby: …
Avatar: Listen, I'm happy to see that you're growing into the job you always wanted. Really, I am. But…I think you're going about this the wrong way.
Ruby: What do you mean?
Avatar: So what if you're meant to save the world, you're still just a child, we all are.
Ruby: Avatar…
Avatar: You can't put so much pressure on yourself, when you aren't even ready for a role like that yet. And no one's expecting you to be ready for that role yet either.
Ruby: But I have to be…if I'm really supposed to be this big hero…
Avatar: And you will be, but not today. Just be a kid right now, be Ruby Rose, and that'll be enough for now while you grow into the role of hero.
Ruby: Avatar…
Avatar: I'm sorry, Ruby, I should've caught onto your feelings sooner. You must've been feeling so much anxiety…
Ruby (scared): …you're right…God, I'm so scared, Avatar. I want to do everything I can…but I don't feel ready. What if I fail?
Avatar: We won't know because we're not going to find out, at least not for now.
Ruby: For now? Avatar, look what's happening around this world? We don't have time.
Avatar: But we do, because everyone is still fighting. As long as we keep fighting, we'll always have more time. We survive. That's what we humans do. So stop worry about what you're supposed to become and just be you for now. And we'll keep fighting for as long as possible until you are ready, no matter how long it takes.
Ruby: And when I am ready?
Avatar (smiles): Then you'll save the world. I certainly believe you'll do it.
Ruby: …
Ruby (smiles): Avatar…thank you so much. If there's one thing about you that hasn't changed…it's that you're always good at making me smile.
Avatar: That's what friends are for, right?
Ruby: Yeah…and you're a true friend, Avatar. Thank you.
