Qrow stops by to talk to Tai, it goes about as well as expected.
Qrow was honestly surprised that Tai didn't shut the door in his face as soon as it was opened. Their relationship was… strained, to put it nicely. In reality it had been in flames for a near decade.
"Qrow." Tai's greeting was courteous enough, but it didn't take him long to sigh and growl out, "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I just be here to check up on my nieces?" Crow shot back, taking a sip of his drink. He had long forgotten what concoction it was, but what it was didn't exactly matter to him, as long as it did its job it was fine by him.
"Things are never simple with you." Tai accused, but opened the door wider anyways. As Qrow strolled inside, Tai warned him, "Don't be loud, both of them are sleeping."
"Has Rubes…" Qrow trailed off, taking another sip. He may not like Tai all that much, but Qrow knew how sensitive the guy was when it concerned his family.
"No." Tai sighed again, lines of worry etched into his skin. "But it should be any day now."
"Good." Qrow grunted, taking a seat on the couch. He still caught Tai's muttering though, and scowled.
"No thanks to you."
"That's how you're gonna play it Tai?" Qrow asked, eyeing the man with scorn.
"Yeah, that is how I'm going to play it. You were at the school, the least you could have done was keep them safe." Tai kept his voice under control, a mighty feat for someone as emotional as him.
"Really? While there was an entire city under attack." Qrow snorted. "Nice to know that my priorities weren't in check."
"That is not the point here-" Tai seethed, but Qrow was quick to cut him off.
"Then what is the point? It's not sunshine and rainbows out there. They were going to have to fight like this eventually." Qrow smirked. "They took pretty ok care of themselves, considering the situation."
"Ok? You can't seriously be suggesting- I- just get out."
"What?" Qrow rose to his feet, his voice rising slightly with it.
"Get out." Tai repeated, his hands clenched into fists. "We're not doing this now. Not with the girls upstairs."
Qrow waited, trying to see if Tai would change his mind, but the man had always been stubborn, and all Qrow is given is a hand gesturing to the door.
"Fine." Qrow snapped. He wasn't in the mood to deal with this right now. He had enough on his plate as it was. "Tell me when she wakes up."
Qrow only heard a bitter chuckle as he walked out, showing just how likely that was.
But it wasn't like Tai was going to be keeping an eye on any birds that came by, right?
Qrow is a very hard character to write when your tag is K+ and you don't want to change it.
