"Yeah I see what you mean. But she is trying. Ohh I feel like taking a photo of you two and sending it to uncle Tai. But in saying that he'd probably tell you two to cover up a bit more. Y'know how he is." Aodh stated to Yang but she didn't respond. He turned towards Yang but a pure stunning image caught his eye.
In fact the same image was the reason Yang was also lost for words. The two of them were both staring at Winter Schnee who had just arrived. She was wearing a long single strap dress that hugged her figure. The dress itself was mainly white but was it moved down it became a light cyan. "Please stop staring at me. It's embarrassing."
Aodh moved forwards and offered a hand out to Winter. "Don't be... you look stunning. Now would you allow me the honor of a dance?"
Winter couldn't help but blush after hearing Aodh's words. She then accepted Aodh's offer in silence as they both made there way towards the dance floor.
Leaving her excitement behind yang went back to greeting the new arrivals for the dance. "You guys are just in time!"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Mercury stated with a smile as he and Emerald arrived at the dance.
Volume 2: Chapter 7: Dance, Dance, Infiltration.
The dance was now in full swing as everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. However there were a few that weren't as much as others. Aodh was busy dancing with Winter but noticed Ruby standing by the punch bowl on her own.
"I see you're hiding at the punch bowl too." Jaune spoke to Ruby.
"Yep." Ruby popped back in her reply.
"To the socially awkward." Jaune raised his glass to Ruby as they both laughed.
"Sorry things didn't work out with Weiss."
"It's fine. Neptune's pretty cool. I get why she went with him."
"What do you mean?" A confused Ruby looked at Jaune.
"Well, come on. Not many people can pull off blue hair."
"No, I mean. Weiss came to the dance alone."
"What?" Jaune asked Ruby wide eyed as he caught his breath back. Ruby then pointed towards Weiss who was trying to get a white rose to stand up in it's vase but it continue'd to fall.
"Yeah, she said that she had too much to focus on to worry about boys."
Jaune then looked towards Neptune only to find him laughing with Sun and Blake instead of dancing with Weiss.
"Hold my punch." Jaune hands Ruby his glass and left to speak to Neptune. But no sooner had Jaune vanished from sight Ruby quickly drunk from his cup. Aodh noticed Jaune walk away and thought now would be the best time to talk to Ruby.
"Hey Winter mind if I go dance with Ruby. I bet Weiss would love a dance from you as well."
Winter lightly laughed as he seen the look on Weiss's face as she continue'd to try and keep the white rose from wilting. "I suppose you have a point but I expect another dance by the end of the night."
Aodh winked to Winter in response as he walked towards Ruby. "Hey Rubes wanna have a dance?"
"In these lady stilts? Not a chance!" Ruby responded as she dramatically pointed at her high heels.
"Hey I've got a hack to help you with those." Aodh whispered to Ruby.
"What? What? What?" Ruby eagerly moved closer towards Aodh.
"You don't actually have to wear them to dance y'know." Aodh chuckled as he watched Ruby's face fall into a shocked despair. "But you'll have to put them back on afterwards to please Yang."
"Deal!" Ruby smiled to Aodh as she took off her shoes as Aodh lead her while Winter lead Weiss to the dance floor. After dancing through two songs Aodh was starting to feel old as he began to tire.
He moved away from the dance floor for a few moments and sat down. A few moment s later General Ironwood sat down beside him. "Evening Aodh."
"Good evening General. I see Ms Goodwitch allowed you to dance with her."
"You seen that huh? Well just don't go telling your old man on me. Although she needed encouragement from Ozpin to even accept my hand."
Aodh laughed for a brief moment before he continue'd. "Yeah but I think she's enjoying herself."
"The same could be said for Winter. I haven't seen her smile like that in quite a while."
"Yeah... I feel the same if..." Aodh stopped mid sentence as he noticed something that stopped him from thinking. "Jaune... What the fuck?" Aodh looked at Jaune as he worm a short white dress with a sky blue bow around his waist. Aodh couldn't hold back his laughter.
"That kid has got some balls to even try that." General Ironwood gave his two pence worth as he too began laughing. The laughing however soon stopped as Jaune and the rest of Team JNPR began to dance. General Ironwood and Aodh were amazed at the skill they were showing on the dance floor. But in the corner of his eyes Aodh spotted Ruby leaving the party to get some fresh air.
"The kid's got nice timing with his footwork. If he can dance like that i'd hate to fight him once his sword work has improved." Aodh lowly commented as he watched Team JNPR.
"Well I must be off. With an inspection tomorrow I'll have to call it an early night." General Ironwood stated to Aodh.
"Good night General."And with that General Ironwood left but not before having a few quick words with Professor Ozpin. Taking a few more quick moments of rest Aodh made his way back to Winter.
When Aodh arrived by the Schnee sisters he tapped Weiss' shoulder. "Sorry Weiss but mind if I cut in?"
"Of course." Weiss happily replied to Aodh before she made her way over towards Neptune.
"My, my. What a gentleman." Winter applauded Aodh.
"I like to pick and choose my moments. But I did promise at least one last dance before the night was over." The music now changed to a very slow beat as the dancers were brought closer together.
"You make it sound like you're just getting it out of the way."
"Who said this was a quick dance." Aodh whispered into Winter's ear softly as they continue'd to dance. The two of them got lost in the moment but it was soon shattered as Winter scroll began to ring. She glanced at the device.
"It's General Ironwood."
"He's probably just looking to tease us. I only spoke to him a few moments ago. Ignore it."
"I can't ignore it. The General only makes calls if needed and he almost never rings me." Winter then answered her scroll. "Hello, General it's Winter... Yes... Yes he's here beside me... I understand... we'll be there in a moment sir." Winter spoke to her scroll in a quick conversation with General Ironwood. Winter faces showed some concern for what she was just told.
"What's wrong?" Aodh asked with a concerned tone as he looked at Winter's facial expression.
"There's been an issue in the CCT tower and Ruby was involved."
(CCT Tower)
General Ironwood and Ruby were sitting and waiting for Aodh and Winter to arrive. When the elevator doors opened Ruby left out a sigh of relief when she seen her cousin. "Aodh! I didn't do it I swear!" Ruby rushed and hugged Aodh as he exited.
"Easy Litl' Red. It's okay your not in trouble. The General told Winter what you said and I can back it up. You would do this Ruby I know that."
"Thank you." Ruby softly cried as she tighten her hug on Aodh.
"From what she said she seen someone jumped on the roof tops and went to follow after. When she noticed one of my men knocked out at the front of the Tower she called for her weapon and went inside to investigate. She done a good job hold up the culprit but she according to Ruby escaped just as I arrived. I had to say at first I thought it was Ruby but then I remembered she was your cousin so I called for Winter to bring you here. I believe in doing so caused her to panic thinking she was in serious trouble. I'm sorry Ruby I didn't mean to scare you." General Ironwood informed Aodh as he apologized to Ruby.
"What are you going to do?" Winter asked with a concerned tone.
"Well I think Ruby's had enough for one night. so instead of staying in her room I'll take her back to my place in Vale. I'll message Yang saying she's a little stressed out before her first mission and that i'll calming her down and giving advice. The truth is i'm not far from the truth in that point." Aodh sighed as Ruby let go of him. "We need to let Oz know of what happened here tonight."
"Already taken care of. While you and Winter were on your way over here I contact Ozpin. He's set up a meeting tomorrow in his office." General Ironwood informed Aodh.
"I'm sorry the night ended this way Winter. I'll see you tomorrow." Aodh smiled at Winter as he and Ruby walked towards the elevator. For a moment Winter was about to call out to Aodh but she stopped herself at the last moment before Aodh and Ruby left down the CCT's elevator.
"Something troubling you Miss Schnee?"
"It's nothing General. I'm fine."
(Aodh and Ruby)
Having made a quick stop in Team RWBY room for Ruby to grab her clothes they made there way back to Aodh's apartment. When they entered the apartment Ruby nervously spoke to Aodh. "Am I going to be in trouble for this?"
"No Ruby." Aodh then brought himself down to Ruby's eye line. "As Huntsmen and Huntresses we have to protect the world. You seen something you thought was odd and went to investigate. You did everything right except one thing. You never called for backup. Other then that Ruby you did nothing wrong. Now get ready for bed and we'll watch a movie to take things off you mind. You'll even get to choose. How's that sound?"
"Oh, Oh, Oh! Can we watch Red vs Blue!?" An excited Ruby asked.
Aodh couldn't hold back a light chuckle. "Of course squirt."
And cut!
Now I changed a few things over this chapter from cannon for several things. The reason I have Ruby panic is simply because General Ironwood never saw Cinder in the CCT. And when he said he would bring Aodh I thought simply Ruby would do what any other 15 year old would do when they thought they were in trouble and a family member was called. They would panic.
I'm hoping it worked out as I wanted to give a fallout to the ending events to the episode. Next chapter we'll have the Teams taking on there first mission so I hope you all look forward to that. Anyway with out delay let's get rolling with this chapter's Q&A!
1) Lemons? I keep getting asked this and I'll keep answering but i'm afraid my answer will remain at no for the time being. The reason behind this I don't really feel comfortable that it would suit my writing style with short easy chapters. Now I can only applaud the writers who do this but i simply can't I'm afraid.
2) Does Aodh hate Raven for abandoning yang to go lead a bandit tribe? it's gonna be brought up soon so you'll get your answer in a few chapters. Sorry top leave you hanging on the answer.
3) Have you ever watch any ScrewAttack's Death Battle? If so, which one is your favorite? Yeah i watch it all the time. I have a few favorites but i'd say Green Arrow vs Hawkeye or Iron man vs Lex Luthor.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
