I must have done something truly heinous in a past life. Perhaps I was a murderer? Or an arsonist? Or maybe whatever god out there detested Faunus's like myself just like my father does.

"And then the cookie screamed in agony as I bit into it! I was so scared I dropped it! And then my dog came up and started eating it and I was all like: Zwei! Don't do that! Doggies can't eat chocolate!"

Yes, this must be the work of karma, being lost in the middle of the forest not knowing where our destination is with this babbling dolt as my partner. Perhaps I should have chosen barf boy after all….

"Oh, Weiss!" Ruby ran up to me, slinging her arm over my shoulder and showing me her scroll. "Check out this picture of Zwei! Isn't he so cute with that stuffed cookie-pillow thingy in his mouth?" she cooed at the picture.

"...Ruby, this isn't the…" I paused, staring at the photo. W-was this what corgi's looked like? All furry and small with stubby little legs and- "Oh my god he's so cute!" Why?! Why couldn't I contain my squeal of joy?!

"I know right?! He's the best wittle puppy and I just want pinch his wittle cheekies!"

"Aw, I just want to cuddle with-No!" Contain yourself, Weiss! You are a Schnee, just like your sister! Cool, calm, and collected. "Ruby, we have a mission to complete. We need to find those artifacts-"

"Yeah, if only we could fly…"

"WHAT?! FLY?!" How did she know?! "Wha-Th-that is ridiculous! I can't fly! Why would you say that?! Ha! Good one! Y-you're acting like I'm a swan faunus, which is totally ridiculous! Ha ha ha!" Play it off, Weiss! Just play it cool and she'll...stare at me as if I were crazy.

"Ooookay, I was actually thinking of…"

Why is she pointing to the sky? What could be up…

"...We are not flying on a Nevermore."

"We are totally flying on a Nevermore!"

"Ruby, Wait-Don't grab my hand or I'll-AAAAAAAAHHHH!" WHY IS SHE SO FAST?!
