A.N: Hello again everybody.

Here is the next chapter of Dear Ruby. I admit it's short but it's going to pick itself up in the next chapter.

I hope you enjoy.

Dear Jaune

Sorry for not responding sooner, we have been moving more over the past couple weeks. We haven't stayed in one place for more than a few days, but now we have settled down a little, and now I have the time to write back.

I knew you would take my advice, you always listened to me when we were at Beacon. I liked to think I had mind control powers that only worked on you. But now with you being the Master Armorer I expect only your best which we both know is all you can give me.

I haven't had the chance to use your new blade yet, it is still wrapped in my pack waiting to be tested. It definitely feels lighter than the ones I'm currently using, but I will need to test it thoroughly before I can be sure.

As I said things have been getting much busier over the past couple weeks. It's mostly been small settlements and clearing large areas of woodlands, with the occasional assignment thrown in to keep us on our toes. We heard rumors when we were leaving Mistral that Grimm numbers have been decreasing around the Mistral region and that has been a morale booster. Yang was bouncing off the walls when we heard the news, but something feels off I can't shake the feeling.

It's nice to know I'm still in your thoughts as you are in mine daily. I admit I have dreamt of our time in Beacon more as we travel further away. It helps to know you are there for me when I need you, you are only a letter away.

How is work? I want to hear about what you've been doing while I'm here.

I miss you.

Ruby

Dear Ruby

I did not always listen to you, you just had better idea's then I did so I deferred to your plans. You make me sound like a puppy, and we both know I would be an adorable puppy.

Don't worry about not replying immediately, I understand what your schedule is like, we used to have the same one.

Things have been getting busier over here lately. Ozpin has been setting up upperclassmen final assignments and getting the winter ball organized even though we are at least 3 months away. He's been coming to the forge more often than normal. He asked for lists of new material usage and requisitions forms for expensive materials. It's like he's preparing for something and by the amount of raw materials he signed for it's going to be big.

The weirdest thing happened today. I was just about to close up the forge when about 3 first years came up to me and asked for my autograph. It seemed they wanted the signature of the man who was teammates with Pyrrah Nikos and the 'Awesome Team RWBY'. It seems you all have a little following at Beacon, I heard about the 'Team RWBY Fan Club' a while ago. So congrats, you have fans.

I have a idea but I need your opinion. Apart from smelting is there a way for me to bind metal properties? For instance mixing gold with another metal to make it stronger.

Keep safe

I right here

Jaune.

A.N: Again I know it's short but think of it as the set up to the good bit.

I feel that after all the letters and the connection the two share that they would start ending the letters with small worries and the other reassuring them in their reply. And I like that it is Jaune reassuring Ruby that he is still there for her.

Until next time.
