Schnee Warehouse, Vale Commercial District
"Incoming Call from: Schnee Dust Company" Chirped a robotic voice "Would you like to Accept or Decline?"
"Decline"
"You should really answer Father, you can't keep ignoring him."
"Yes I can, I gained the right when he handed me over to the White Fang."
"You and I both know it was more than just a business deal, it was also for your protection. At the bare minimum you gained a best friend and bodyguard from it at least."
"It doesn't matter, so why are you here anyway Winter? Last time I checked you were still in Atlas "planning" train robberies and "trying" to make procedures to stop said train robberies."
"Same thing as always sister, business and more business. This time it has to deal with two low profile but highly influential persons in the underworld, they have serious backing, and power. It's rumored that they have direct control over 30% of Vale's Underground and heavy influence on half of the rest. The only way we even secured this meeting is because of joint connections through the White Fang in addition to "leaked" information and a certain 'gentlemanly thief'. Oh, I almost forgot, one of those Winchester scum should be here too."
"Winter, not all of their family are scum, they're just… they're whole family is weird. I mean, their family motto is, 'Today's a good day to die' for Oum's sake. They're whole history is just like ours.. blood, money and innovation. I mean, aren't you also irked when people just assume us Schnee's are cold hearted cut throat monopolists?"
"I see the cat has started to rub off on you"
"I know you know I heard that" a voice softly came from the shadows.
"Of course, you didn't exactly try hiding your presence up there in the rafters."
"Wait what? Blake's up there?"
"Yes Weiss, and once again this is why you two are together, because you still need to grow and Blake needs the company."
"That's besides the point, what's really the meaning behind the meeting, if a Winchester is involved, it has to mean either serious money, or serious fighting or both! They rarely do business with others besides trying to crush people beneath them."
"It's more of a… get to know each other meeting… a representative of the most premier Dust company, a representative of one of the leading arms and technology companies, and them, the duo that shook the underworld to its core and brought most of it to its knees. It's unbelievable how they did it in under 10 years. Did you know that rumor has it that they were from Patch?"
"Patch…." A somber tone came about, Patch was a very valuable island, one relatively free of Grimm. One that held various resources and development sites. An island just off the coast of Vale with spectacular sights and forests and home to one of the Hunter Prep Academies…. One that now lies barren, scarred and desolate, destroyed by the enemies of humanity.
"Well then, enough dilly dallying then sister, I see the Winchester Brute up ahead. This is awfully boring… isn't it Winchester?"
