Chapter 5: A Friend In Need
"Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!" Blake shouted at her ice queen teammate.
"Oh I'm sorry! Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can! Or this lamp post as a lamp post!" Weiss retorted throwing her hands into the air.
Blake stomped her foot on the ground, "STOP IT!"
"Stop what?! He CLEARLY broke the law! Give him time and I'm sure he'll join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang." Weiss said with a scowl.
Blake fist tightened into a ball, making her knuckles turn pure white, "Ugh YOU IGNORANT LITTLE BRAT!" she yelled turning her back on Weiss and stomping away.
Weiss's eyes widened and then turned back into a glare, strutting behind she yelled back, "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I AM YOUR TEAMMATE!"
"You're judgmental little girl." Blake practically snarled.
"What in the world makes you say that!?" Weiss screeched.
Ruby and Yang watched together in silence as their two friends argued with one another and frowned uncomfortably, "I think we should probably go..." Yang said with a sullen face.
"Where are we going?" Penny chimed from behind before the arguing continue to worsen.
"The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much as a scoundrel as you believe him to be!" Blake said exasperated.
"So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!" Weiss proclaimed.
"That's not what I meant and you know it!" Blake bit back. Both Ruby and Yang watched all this in disapproving silence even as they returned back to their dorm, the sun setting and dawn turning to dusk.
"I don't understand why this causing such a problem!" Weiss asked incredulously.
"That is the problem!" Blake said impatiently.
Standing up from the foot of her bed Weiss glared, "You realize that you're defending an organization that hates humanity don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!" She said crossing her arms.
Blake shot up from her bed as well, "There is no such ting as pure evil! Why do you think they hate humanity so much?! It's because of people like Cardin, people like you! That force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"
"People like me?!" Weiss yelled in confusion.
"You're discriminatory!" Blake said exasperated.
"I'M A VICTIM!" Weiss screamed with a stomp, "Do you want to why despise I hate the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War. As in actual bloodshed. My grandfathers company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child I have watched family friends disappear, board members executed, an entire train car of dust, stolen. And everyday father would come one furious. And that made for a very. Difficult. Childhood." She said banging her fist on the bottom of the window.
Ruby placed her hand on Weiss's shoulder, "Weiss I-"
"No!" Weiss said shaking Ruby off, she walked towards Blake angrily, "You want to know why I despise the White Fang?! It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"
"WELL MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND!" Blake yelled at the top of her lungs, sending not just Weiss back but her other teammates as well, "I-i..." Blake stuttered out fearfully before shooting out the room.
Ruby attempted to chase her but Blake was already long gone. Frost was walking through the hall and was taking a sip of his drink before a he saw a distraught Blake running towards him, "Blake?" He said as she ran past him, a black blur, "Okay..." He drawled, before heading towards the RWBY dorm. He let out a small sigh before knocking on the door lightly.
The door slowly creaked open, "Uh..." Ruby answered awkwardly.
"Did uh something...happen?" Frost asked although he was really only there for confirmation.
Ruby seemed to sadden, "Well...Uh it's nothing Frost, we can figure it out." She said looking back inside the room.
Frost wanted to frown but figured it was an in-team problem and he got the information he needed, "Ah, okay. If you need anything just knock, Aurora would tear my ear off if she heard I just walked by all this without a word..." He joked with a small shiver which managed a small giggle from Ruby despite the situation.
"Hehe...Thank Frost I will." Ruby said managing a small smile.
Frost nodded before heading towards his room, casually walking inside he threw 3 drinks to his teammates. Aurora caught her tea and let out a hum, "Hmm what was all that noise was about?"
Frost shrugged, "Dunno." He lied, Ruby didn't want them to get involved so it was the only logical thing to d- "Liar." Aurora instantly called out, both Orion and Evergreen perked up at the engagement. Orion pulled out a white board marked Frost and Aurora, he turned to Evergreen, "Who you got?" He said pulling out a dry-erase marker.
Evergreen hummed while kicking her legs up, "Hmm well Frosty did lie...I'll go with Aurora." She said placing her fist in her palm.
Orion nodded, "Huh I feel like captain wouldn't lie unless he had proper reasoning I'll go your opposite." He said giving Frost a thumbs up, "Fight well captain."
"You got this Auror!" Evergreen said with a thumbs up.
"Oi stop recording our arguments! Children!" Frost scowled and turned to Aurora with a sigh, "Okay fine, lemme restate, it's none of our business."
Aurora tapped her chin, "Yet you took the time investigate, have you not involved yourself already?"
"They are our friends, I figured I would go see what was wrong?" Frost explained.
"Fair enough but why did you lie to me?" She said with a frown.
"Because I didn't want to bring their business around and besides that you would probably make a big deal out of it and try to figure out what happened." Frost mumbled the last part.
Aurora eyes glinted, "So you assumed my reaction?"
Frost didn't like where this was going, "I still stand by the first part of my statement, it's not our business and I didn't want to bring up their business."
"They are our friends, therefore it is our business in some way." Aurora took the stretch.
Frost frowned, "Now whose engaging in sophistry? Just because were friends doesn't mean we should get involved in something they want to handle themselves, besides we don't even know what the problem is."
"And whose fault is that?" She ignored the shoot down.
"Don't change the subject Aurora." He said rubbing his forehead, "Besides were not THAT close, I didn't wanna get nosy, Blake ran past me while I headed here so I'm guessing it's an argument."
"Weiss and Blake hmmm..." Aurora said suddenly.
Evergreen looked at Aurora oddly, "How do you figure Auror?" She asked using her patented nickname, she had nicknames for all three of them, Auror, Frosty, and Ori.
"Well Ruby is the easiest to get along with since she doesn't want to cause any trouble and she's quite the innocent cutie, Yang and Blake are opposites that attract in a very good way, and Blake and Weiss are basically like two magnets trying to touch one another." Aurora explained thinking it through her head.
Frost smirked, "And this was my point exactly." He said at the girl who seemed to be thinking over the situation, Orion marked a point on his side of the board, Evergreen groaned, and Aurora frowned, "Humph. I'm still ahead by one." She said crossing her arms.
Frost shook his head, Aurora was competitive, like, extremely so. One morning when he woke up (being an early riser) Aurora for break-fest. The next day she was up half and hour earlier than him and woke him up with a smug smirk. She started to compete with him in everything they did, Frost wasn't sure if it was to push him or if it was just her personality.
"Yes yes you are the queen, goodnight guys." Frost said turning off the lights.
"I knew you could do it captain." Orion added cheekily.
"Eat me." Frost said with a yawn and letting sleep claim him.
Two days had passed since Blake had ran away, Ruby and her team all went out to find her. Frost was sitting in a small cafe alone, he was waiting for Aurora to show up since he came particularly early today. It was something to two had begun doing together on her request to build team chemistry. He hung out with Orion after-school, usually spent the mornings with Evergreen, tending to the plants, so Aurora decided that she would steal him on the weekends for lunch. Orion had started the running joke that the couple needed to get away from everyone, Evergreen would chime in that we both went to couples therapy.
"Headaches the both of them..." Frost thought laying his chin on his palm before he heard a chime, the door opened and a certain white haired Schnee entered the cafe, "Speaking of headaches..." He thought contemplating on whether or not to call out to her, "Stop being such an antisocial, pessimistic, icy faced, people ignor-" Frost shook his head, he could hear the rant in his head clearly.
"Weiss?" Frost called out waving his hand.
She looked around and her eyes widened slightly before she walked towards him, "Frost what are you doing here?"
"Me and Aurora are catching lunch together, I'm early." He said trying to sound casual but the girl had already begun spinning the gossip needle in her brain.
"You and Aurora? Alone? On a weekend? Together?" Weiss said as if adding more question marks to each statement.
Frost shook his head, "It's not like that, we just come together, as FRIENDS." He stressed the word but it seemed like a futile effort.
Weiss put on a familiar smirk, "Oh god it's like there's two of em." Frost blanched as she gave him a smug face, "Surrrrre friends, is that what you believe or what you say?" She questioned.
"Why does this seem like deja-vu?" Frost thought before sighing, "Look she doesn't see me that way I'm su-Look," Frost started to get flustered, "I'm here early anyway, sit down with me and have a drink or something, if we really are like that she would get mad or jealous or something right?" Frost said, trying to make a point.
Weiss looked at her scroll, "Hmm I guess I'll stay and prove a point." She said with a smirk.
Frost noticed her checking her scroll, "Looking for Blake still?" He said quietly, it was no secret between the teams that Blake hadn't come back yet.
Weiss went from smug to irritated, "At this point I wonder if we should call the police!" She said exasperated.
Frost frowned, "Weiss...Isn't that...I don't know? Harsh?"
Weiss seemed more annoyed, "I'm just saying! The innocent don't run Frost!" She said with a huff.
Frost shook his head, "Weiss...That's not always true. People who are scared run. Whether she's running because she's guilty or not you have to find out yourself. Do you even know why she ran? Did you care to ask?" He said with a small glare.
"I mean she di-I-She defended the White Fang!" Weiss seemed most upset over that fact.
"Yes a once peaceful organization turned violent because nobody did jack shit for the Faunus. Listen Weiss I know you're a Schnee and you may have had some troubles in life because of the White Fang but don't sit here and act like humans are all innocent! I mean look at Cardin! I almost froze him to death when he pulled on Velvets ears and the fact that she didn't do anything when we ALL know she could kick his ass is beyond my comprehension!" Frost said the cafe started to get a little colder and people started to stare at the two of them, he coughed and called a waitress over to order to make things a tad less awkward.
"U-uh w-what would you l-like sir?" She stuttered out, Frost realized he had made the cafe quite a bit colder and relaxed before throwing on the most reassuring smile he could, "Sorry about the trouble, could I get some lemon tea?" He said smoothly, the waitress seemed to relax and left and Frost let out a breath, "Social cue training is paying off!" He thought with a smirk before turning back to Weiss.
"Listen Weiss if Blake's a Faunus maybe you should try to think about all the crap she's had to deal with from people like Cardin and to an extent, people like you. Talk to her, tell her about your past and maybe, even if it's just a little, she'll tell you about hers. Or better yet just ask her who shes loyal to now because it's not like the past really matters anyway." He said leaning back in his chair, tired of lecturing the girl.
Weiss was quiet, she seemed to be listening, "I...I..." She mumbled.
Frost hand instinctively came out, something Raven did for him to comfort him, "Listen you both kinda messed up, go fix it, she's your teammate after all." He said placing his hand on her head. The waitress had come back and placed the drink down for Frost before giggling, "You two are cute siblings." She commented making him retract his hand back as he noticed Weiss somewhat red in the face.
"Were not siblings!" She spurted out.
"O-oh I apologize it's just that..." The waitress looked the between the two of them.
Frost nodded, he could definitely see the resemblance, I mean pale white skin with white hair and sharp blue eyes? Those weren't exactly common features, he mused that he was the abandoned love child of a Schnee love affair, "Yeah right, like that would happen." He thought as he saw Weiss look between the two of them.
"R-Right...we do look..." She looked at Frost a bit harder than before, "Almost uncanny." She said now a little embarrassed, Frost figured he'd save her.
With a smile he placed his hand on her head again, "I mean were basically siblings, she's always causing trouble and I have to keep and eye out for her." He said with a smirk, Weiss started to flail her arms at him, "Frost!" She yelled at him.
Frost smirked more, "Is that any way to treat your big brother?" He said wagging a finger at her.
"You-I-Ugh!" She huffed crossing her arms making the waitress laugh at their behavior, "I see." The waitress said, "I'll leave you two alone then!" She said scurrying off.
Frost let himself settle into a cool smile, "So, you going to go find Blake?"
Weiss sighed and nodded, "Uh yeah..Thank you Frost...you gave me a lot to think about."
Frost leaned back into his chair, "No problem for your big brother./No problem for your big brother." He slipped, "Whoops..." He thought halfheartedly. Weiss mouth opened and closed before she huffed and stood up, "For you information I already have a big sister! Her name is Winter and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be fond of a rapscallion brother like you!"
Frost almost laughed at her reaction, "I can't wait to meet my other sister then..." He said continuing the tease.
"Goodbye Frost!" She huffed.
"By little sis!" Frost responded as she left, Aurora walking in at the exact same time with a raised brow.
"Little sis?" She said with an amused smirk.
He shrugged, "Long story."
"Make it short." She replied calling over a waiter.
"Bossy." He said taking a sip of tea.
"Someone has to be." She replied cheekily.
"Oooh that a jab at my leadership skills? I'll have you know I just lead Weiss in a great direction." Frost said indignantly.
"So much for not getting involved."
"I'm not involved, I just said what I wanted."
"So you're saying you didn't wanna help? What a terrible man, it matches your expression."
"Are you still on about my expression? I can't help that I have resting bitch face okay? Not all of us are beautiful at all times like you." Frost dropped a not so subtle compliment making her blush, he had been experimenting with this, it was the only thing that threw her off her game.
"S-shut up you idiot, don't say something like that." She said stammered slightly, "Not that bluntly!" She thought internally.
"Like I said, I just say what I wanna say." Frost said taking another sip of his drink.
"What a selfish man you are." Aurora said receiving her drink with a small smile.
"Yeah yeah whatever." Frost said finishing his drink off with a huff and going for a muffin he had gotten. The two sat in comfortable silence after their squabble, they did it all the time, with Orion it was mostly stories of things they had down trickled with one liners and jabs at each other, with Evergreen it was fairly natural conversation, both of them trying to learn a little more about what made one another tick. But with Aurora it was special their banter, it was like a game, who would blink, who would falter, Frost was too stubborn and Aurora too competitive. They understood each other on an oddly intimate level, "She might be the only person whom I can mutually read body language with..." He thought looking at the girl who was reading her book, "She didn't finish her tea, so she wants to stay here longer than usual..." Frost thought catching on to the more subtle cues she left.
"You're staring." Aurora commented without looking up from her book.
"You're pretty." Frost replied almost on reflex.
"S-shut up. Mr. Creepy man." She said looking more intently at the book.
"Nickname, means she's upset but not really..." Frost thought absently before another bell went through the door, it was a large man in a black suit, "He seems pretty official." Frost thought but he caught a look at Aurora and frowned, her back straightened and her hands were locked, "Why is she so tense?" He thought as the large man walked towards them, his loud footsteps attracting attention.
"Lady Zara." The man said in a deep tone.
"Walter." Aurora replied very coldly, Frost went slightly wide eyed, her voice as colder than when they were arguing.
"Lady Zara your father has grown very impatient with you, he wished for you to return back to-" He started.
"I refuse." Aurora snapped while closing her book, "If father wants me then he can say it to my face! Instead of sending you."
His eyes narrowed, "Lady Zara." His voice was eery, "I don't believe you want your father to stop his busy schedule to come and fetch you, or perhaps maybe you have forgotten your role in your family?"
Frost saw Aurora, the normally fierce girl shrink at his words, "W-what the-" Frost thought as she looked down.
"As I thought." Walter said pulling his glove on his hand, "I am sorry lady Zara but it's time to put aside this foolish dream of yours and come back to your home and go through with your duty." He said reaching for her arm. For Frost it was almost like slow motion, Aurora hadn't said a word back to the man, "Say something." Frost screamed internally, "Fight back." He thought as his hand almost reached her arm, her body was frozen stiff, her eyes shadowed by her hair, and from behind it, all Frost could see were her lips.
"Help me." She silently mouthed to the ground.
Everyone in the cafe stopped cold. Walter eyes widened. Aurora looked up in shock. In an ice cold grip Frost held the mans arm in a vice, his eyes almost made him step back in fear. Frost was glowing a feint blue, the air inside the cafe had gotten so cold everyone could see their breath and many people started shaking from the frigid temperature. Frost held Walters arm in place and small mist started to come off of it, ice slightly surrounding the area.
"She stays." Frost said, no, he commanded, "She obviously doesn't want to go, so tell her father, she's staying here under her captains orders." Frost said gripping tighter making the man wince in return.
"Insolent little wor-AGH!" Walter insulted but felt the ice travel up his arm. Frost gripped tighter and the floor started to take an icy glaze. Aurora snapped out of her trance saw Frosts eyes and grabbed his shoulders.
"That's enough." She said but Frost's grip tightened slightly more and the ice started to spread around his feet, Walter started to groan in pain louder.
"Stop it." Aurora said trying to move the boy but he wouldn't budge, "THAT'S ENOUGH FROST!" She yelled his name and gave a sharp smack across his face. Frost released his grip but his gaze didn't waver off the name who now stumbled back and glared at Frost.
"Y-you child! You don't know what you just did! Aurora...Your father will hear about this!" Walter said retreating from the cafe. Everyone in the cafe was looking at Frost and Aurora and seeing the scared glances from everyone Aurora grabbed Frost and took them both out of there before anything else could happen.
She quickly apologized and they both made their way out, they walked a few hundred meters before she turned to him, "You shouldn't have done that...I...You shouldn't have gotten involved. My father is a..he won't like what you did."
Frost remembered her face before he had intervened and suddenly his fish clenched before he released, "What are you stupid?" Frost gave her a slight glare which made her step back, "Like I said, you don't leave on my order. Had nothing to do with you. I just said what I wanted to..." He muttered before walking ahead, Aurora stared at him before walking behind in silence, the two started to make their way towards a quieter place.
"You're such a selfish guy you know that?" She said walking in front of him turning on her heel and staring him right in the face.
"Yeah yeah I know alre-" Frost started but a finger stopped him.
"I like it." Aurora said, "I like that about you. You say what's on your mind. Even if it's selfish, even if it's stupid, you say what you want." She said looking down sadly.
"Aurora..." Frost thought as he watched a plethora of sad emotions run through her, she leaned on her back foot, "She's unsure..." He thought as she stared at him and he felt a pair of arms around him. Frost's eyes widened as Aurora hugged him, he awkwardly wrapped his arms around her.
"Aurora?" He questioned as she pressed her head against his chest.
"Thank you..." She said quietly.
Frost laid his chin on her head, "Sure..." He said dismissively.
She looked up at him and her voice was much softer than he was used to, "Save me again one day." She whispered, it was very faint, but he just managed to make out what she said.
Frost was stunned, they hadn't gotten closer over the past month since first meeting each other but she had never let herself be so...vulnerable, holding her slightly tighter he opened his mouth and mustered the most confident voice he could, "What are you saying?" Frost said, "Like I would let anything happen to you." He said trying to sound annoyed with her. The two stayed that way for awhile, Aurora tentatively let go and fixed her clothes before regaining her regal posture and demeanor.
"Ehem...Well I guess we should head back home." She said, not managing to look at Frost.
Frost grabbed her, "Those two can manage tonight by themselves, you wanted to stay later today anyway right? We didn't even get your food..."
Aurora gave him her patented smirk, "maybe it's a royalty thing..." He thought remembering Weiss making the same smirk, "Are you asking me out to dinner?"
Frost smiled, "Like you asked me out to lunch?"
Aurora closed her eyes, "I did it purely for team purpos-"
"You coming or not?" Frost said in no mood for her princess mode, "I'm paying." He said as if it was added incentive, he knew she didn't need him to pay but he figured he would try.
Aurora let herself have a regular smile again, "Fine." She said simply, "Just this once."
Walter walked in the dark office room and bowed his head, "My apologies master, lady Zara refused to cooperate and then her captain," He word stung on his tongue, "Intervened." He said with a scowl. The air was tense and a man in shifted in his chair, a crash of glass erupted in the room.
"I see." He said looking at his hand, "Her captain...Did you catch his name?"
Walter nodded handing him a pad with a picture of Frost on it, "His name if Frost Borealis."
The man paused, "Frost...Borealis?" He said segmented, "Let Aurora stay to her own devices for now." He said handing the monitor to a stunned Walter.
"S-sir?" He questioned.
"She's met an interesting person." He said, "We'll proceed as usual, things are just a bit more interesting now." He said with a smirk. Walter shuddered, things seemed to have taken a turn and he wasn't sure where it was going.
A/N: Hello! So I have been thinking of starting a few fun things for this story and "From the Ashes" (Which is coming along T-T SOON) but after chapters I am going to start posting fun facts about characters or Omake's. Fun facts may just be something small and odd that I couldn't mention in the story that may come up at some point or something interesting about the character that you would never know about unless I talked about it, for example.
Fun fact: Frost was originally Ash's rival in my first story "From the Ashes" but I found him so interesting that I felt he deserved his own story.
Fun fact: Aurora loves water and getting caught in the rain.
The other thing I want to do is post Omake's but every one I post will be canon in the story. The reason I wanted to start doing this is because there are plenty of character building moments or small little scenarios that I think of but they either don't fit the story (progression-wise) or aren't big enough for their own chapter. So just think of every Omake I post takes place sometime in-between chapters, so the Omake I post today would take place after this chapter but before chapter 6. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I hoped you liked the chapter, things are slow to progress I know but things will start getting more interesting. Now enjoy the first Omake!
Omake: Fairy tales and Heroes
Frost was a creature of focus, he needed to keep busy, because if he didn't keep busy he would think a lot, and when he thinks a lot he gets stressed, and when he gets stressed things start to freeze. That being said his focus was currently being interrupted by a raven-haired beauty that he may or may not have thing for.
"Oi."
"..."
"Mr. Focus man."
"..."
"Asshole."
"..."
"You know if we got married my name would be Aurora Borealis, nice ring to it you know." Aurora said leaning her chin on her leaders shoulder. Frost stiffened for a moment, making her smirk, "That'll teach you to ignore me." She said with a huff before sitting back on her bed. Frost rolled his eyes as he continued working on his blade.
"A bit fairy-tale don't you think?" Frost said flipping his blade around, "Never figured you the type."
"You saying I can't like fairy tales?" She said with narrowed eyes.
"Never said that."
"You implied."
Frost spun around in his chair with a huff, "You know what I mean. You seem like you wouldn't go for that type of thing..."
Aurora laid flat on her stomach before rolling around a kicking her foot into the air, "Well not as much as before no...but that's how most of us got here isn't it? Dreams of fairy tales and such..."
Frost sheathed the blade, "I guess so..." He mumbled quietly, "Fairy tales huh?" He said quietly, almost wistfully. Aurora eyed him for a moment, "What about you? Why did you become a hunter?" She asked suddenly, Frost looked up from his blade and back at it again.
"Dunno...I've always needed to be stronger. If I didn't get stronger I would have gotten left behind."
Aurora hummed, "By your master right? She would leave you behind?"
Frost scoffed, "In a heartbeat, sometimes she actively tried to lose me. But I kept coming back..."
Aurora smirked, "Glutton for punishment?"
Frost snorted, "Just hated the damn smirk on her face." He said shaking his head. Aurora giggled slightly before looking back at the ceiling, Frost paused before looking at her again, "What about you? Why a huntress? You're rich, smart, pretty..."
"A lot of things really...But I once read a fairy tale of girl that changed her destiny." She said rolling back over, "Really not my style huh?"
Frost gave soft smile, "No I wouldn't say that...now that you say it that is."
Aurora snorted to herself, "I'll take that as a compliment...but honestly, no fairy tales?" She huffed, "I must get stronger." She said imitating Frost's voice before breaking out in a fit of giggles. Frost rolled his eyes at her before leaning back in his chair.
"Embrace your dreams...If you wanna be a hero, you need to have dreams/Embrace your dreams...If you wanna be a hero, you need to have dreams." Frost said aloud making Aurora perk her head up at him.
"Who said that?" She questioned.
Frost paused before snorting again and throwing his knife into the wall across the room, "A hypocrite."
"Hero huh?" Aurora pondered looking at the ceiling, "You don't seem like the hero type."
Frost threw his hands behind his head, "I'm not." He mumbled with his eyes closed, Aurora hummed again before closing her eyes, "Too bad, you would've made a great one."
"Hm...thanks." He said lightly.
"Mr. Hero man."
"Fairy tale girl."
"That's Mrs. Borealis."
"It does have a nice ring to it."
"..."
"..."
"Heyyyyyy! Were back!" Evergreen happily cheered as she and Orion both waltzed back into the room with a few bags in their arms, "Did we miss anything?" She asked looking towards the two. Both had slightly flushed faces, Aurora had her face in a book while Frost was scratching his chin. Orion seemed amused with the two and set his bags down before pulling Frost's knife out of the wall and tossing it to him.
Catching it Frost looked at the two for a moment before chuckling, "What do you think about heroes and fairy tales?"
