I honestly don't even know what this chapter is XD
Yang has been a little wary of Qrow for a while. Don't get her wrong, she loved him just as much as she loved her actual father, but there was something about him that she didn't trust. It hadn't started until she was in her final year at Signal; when his excuses became a little to frequent for her to trust completely, and his absences more so.
She knew that he must have his reasons though, so she kept a lid on all the traitorous thoughts that were half-convinced there was something more to Qrow than his teaching job and the random missions he went on.
Despite that, she truly was glad to see him at Beacon, even if his explanation for why he had been called here was vague at best. Ruby really lit up when he was around, and that was always a plus. And she loved that he somehow ended up in a fight minutes after showing his face. At least whenever he was around, things were bound to get interesting.
His admission to staying in contact with her mother angered her, as most things involving her mother did. 'I'll only save you once?' What kind of rule was that? She guessed that her mother actually wanting to help her could be considered a positive, but it was only a candle in the wind, quick and fleeting against the long list of greivances Yang held. Her mother was out there, somewhere, but that was an issue for another day.
She couldn't help but feel a little hypocritical when she decided to keep quiet about the dream she had, where matching eyes had met and mother and daughter had talked under starlight. She didn't know what to say of it though, especially to Qrow. So she took the easy way, only speaking of the brief glance she had in the train car. She didn't like it, but she hadn't been able to find a way out.
She only heard his conversation with Ruby by accident, turning back to pick up her scroll that she had left behind.
"Hey kiddo, you had any weird dreams recently?" The question is casual enough, but Yang's brows furrow in confusion. Why would Qrow be worried about Ruby's dreams?
She doesn't see Ruby's response, deciding to leave her scroll behind. She doesn't bring up what she overheard, trusting Ruby to come to her if anything was wrong.
She'll come to regret both decisions later on.
I think I'll be covering the tournament and the main plot points from volume three in the upcoming chapters, so I'm just going to warn you about the upcoming angst now. You have been warned. ;)
