"Sorry Auntie Raven, but it's a liiiiiittle awkward standing next to you now," Ruby said, as she edged away from her nervously.

"Oh?" Raven said, tilting her head in a birdlike manner as she observed her soulmate's daughter. "Ah, I see. So your soulmate has red eyes. Interesting."

"Her name is Emerald." Ruby blushed a bit and scuffed the toe of her boot against the ground as she continued, "She's from Haven. I haven't seen her Semblance yet, but her weapon's pretty cool."

"What kind of weapon? Have you seen her engage in combat?"

"Dual chain-sickles. I missed her tournament matches so far, but I did see her sparring with her team."

"She any good?"

Ruby nodded.

"Good."

Raven noticed Ruby's frosty little teammate regarding the two of them oddly.

"What?" Raven said to her.

"Nothing!" the girl replied, holding her hands up in the 'surrender' position. "I definitely wasn't thinking how it's weird to judge someone's attractiveness by their Semblance, weapon, and combat skills!"
