This is quick and messy but it's something I really wanted to see in volume 4. Then we just sort of skipped over those first few months of RNJR travelling. Its impossible for them to have not fought, you know?

On the bright side, we didn't have to put my dog down so I am much happier :D

"Ruby! Why didn't you move out of the way? I nearly killed you!" Nora seethed, the fear as her hammer had swung a few millimeters away from Ruby's head still raging strong.

Ruby signed quickly and frantically, the ashes of the last beowolf dissolving behind her.

"She forgot that we can't understand her signals like her team can. She thought you knew she was going after it." Ren acted as a translator, to Ruby's relief.

"Isn't Jaune the one who comes up with the plans though?"

"Nora, it's okay." Jaune cut in, sliding his sword back into his sheath as he walked to join the rest of the group.

"No, it's not. How are we going to survive if we don't even know who's in charge?" Nora ran her hands through her hair, scratching her scalp.

Ruby stood silent, her head lowered and fingers clenched tight around the fabric of her cloak. Jaune put a hand on her shoulder, and he could feel her trembling under his fingers.

"Nora… don't do this." Ren reached a hand out, but Nora shied away from it, her eyes dark.

"Why not?" Tears pricked at the edge of Nora's eyes, and her arms were crossed, hugging her chest. "If she had just- she was there, she was right there and she couldn't- she didn't…"

Nora's voice dropped so low the other three had to lean closer to hear it, but her words rang with just as much severity. "I don't know why Pyrrha isn't here instead."

With that, Nora turned and stalked off. Ren gave Jaune a desperate look, and Jaune nodded, letting Ren chase after her.

Once it was only him and Ruby though, Ruby tore herself out his grip and sped up the nearest tree.

"Ruby, what Nora said- none of us think that. What Cinder did isn't anybody's fault but Cinder's." Jaune sighed. "None of us want to accept that Pyrrha is… is gone, even after all this time."

Jaune didn't get an answer- not that he was expecting a verbal response, but Ruby didn't even move her head in response.

"Look, if you want to talk about anything, I'll be here." Jaune ensured that Ruby knew at least that before moving to gather any supplies that may have slipped from their packs during the fight. He won't intrude if Ruby didn't want him to, but he was also determined to make sure Ruby didn't feel responsible. There was nothing she could have done, and they all knew that, even Nora.

But until Ruby decided to open up, or until Ren brought Nora back in a more lucid state, things would move nowhere.

Jaune might as well try and make himself useful for the time being.

Nora does eventually go apologize, and they mostly resolve the tensions in their group. Mostly ;)
