"Why are you here?" Ozpin demands. His voice is not quite raised enough to qualify as shouting, but the barely-restrained anger in his tone is evident to everyone else in the room.

The sight of Qrow's third eye shining a warm golden brown - the color of Oz's own eyes - does nothing to quell the Beacon headmaster's rage.

That sentiment is obviously mutual, as Qrow's temper explodes and he goes off on a rant.

Communication, trust... shouldn't there be more between the two of them? More than all the secrets and responsibilities that they share, the fact that they are soulmates should bond them more closely than this, shouldn't it?

Or, he wonders, is 'soulmate' simply a title that means nothing if you do not allow it to?

A/N: Rather than a first meeting, I decided to go with a pairing who would have known each other for many years by the point that the canon scene this drabble is based on occurs.
