Owain had been in the infirmary for almost a week and Ruby had visited every single day while the rest of team RWBY and team JNRP came occasionally, but today no one had showed up, not that Owain minded, all it meant was that he could read his book. Just as he was about to finish the last page, the doors to the room opened up to reveal team OPAL standing there. Anastasia was twiddling her thumbs while Paris and Lykaon were holding hands.

"Hey Owain, sorry you haven't visited until now" Paris said cheerfully

Owain waved his hand to show he was not upset at all before smiling at Lykaon "I see your date must of gone well, sorry i didn't ask about it before" Owain said. Lykaon smiled "Yeh i suppose it went ok, although i was nervous".

Owain smiled before saying "Well run me through it and I'll tell you what happened to me"

"Well" Paris said "What happened was..."

It was exactly eight when Lykaon got to La Belle Rose and he quickly looked around for Paris and found her sitting outside on a bench wearing a dress which made her look gorgeous.

"You look fantastic" Lykaon said. Paris gave Lykaon a quick look her eyes trailing down his body and then back up "You don't look to bad yourself, handsome". They both smiled before Paris jumped up and said "Shall we" Lykaon quickly nodded and both entered the restaurant and were quickly shown to a table due to the reservation Paris had made earlier that day.

The waiter came back to take their drink orders before handing both a menu before leaving and returning with a whiskey for Lykaon and a cocktail for Paris.

"So what did you do before joining Beacon" Paris asked taking a sip of her drink. Lykaon quickly took a sip of his whiskey before replying "I went to Signal Academy where i made my weapon and learnt combat skills".

Paris eyes lit up at this "So did you know Yang and Ruby then?" Lykaon shook his head "They were more of the sporty types while i was more of a nerd so our paths barely crossed although i did see them around, what did you do before Beacon?"

Paris looked up at Lykaon before saying, "I lived in Mistral up until a year ago when I enrolled in Beacon after making sure my dad realized that I didn't want to follow in his footsteps and become a professional dancer. My mum was supporting of my decision while my dad simply moaned that all those years that he spent teaching me how to dance were wasted which i argued against as they help my movement in combat."

At this the waiter came back before saying "Have you decided on what you would like to order" Lykaon answered first "Ah yes i would like the Miso chilli steak with the parsley potatoes". "Excellent choice sir, and for you madam?" the waiter quickly said. "Umm can i have the orange glazed swordfish please?". The waiter nodded and jotted down the orders before scurrying off to the kitchen. "So you lived in Mistral, what's it like?" Lykaon asked to which Paris shrugged and said "It's nothing special, just cold and wet but does have the Sanctum school where Pyrrha went".

"It sounds nice enough, and now that you mentioned it you will have to dance with me sometime" Lykaon said to which Paris just laughed but before she replied the food arrived and both exchanged a glance before diving in. When the food was finished the waiter reappeared and asked "Any desserts" . Paris shook her head an Lykaon did the same "Just the bill" they both said in unison. They soon paid half the bill each after Paris made it clear that she could afford it despite Lykaon's insistence he paid for her, and they both headed out. It was gone half ten by this point so it was going to be a dark walk back to Beacon. About twenty minutes into the walk Lykaon crouched down to tie his shoe lace while Paris pressed on, blissfully unaware that Lykaon was no longer by her side and she soon was confronted by two men with knives. She mentally cursed, if only she had brought her weapons and quickly looked around to see that Lykaon wasn't there. She panicked before one of the men said "Give us your purse and necklace and things don't have to turn bloody". While she handed over her purse she noticed a figure in the shadow and before she could react Lykaon had burst out behind the men and instantly knocked one out cold with a kick to the back of the head. The other man turned and swung wildly at Lykaon who backed up before Paris roundhouse kicked the mugger to the ground before Lykaon punched him out, Lykaon then quickly proceeded to return Paris' purse and take her hand in his. "Thank you" she whispered, "My pleasure" he said before she pecked him on the cheek, an action which made Lykaon blush. The couple made it back to Beacon without any other events occurring and quickly retreated to the dorm room before heading straight to sleep.

"Wow sounds both romantic and action packed" Owain smirked. Paris nodded and Lykaon smiled.

"So now tell us what happened to you and preferably why as well" Paris said. Owain sighed before recounting his past and the events which lead to his broken ankle. Paris and Lykaon looked devastated while Anastasia was being unusually quiet which prompted Owain to ask "What's wrong Anastasia". She quickly looked up with anger and hate in her eyes "You were a part of The Shadows!?" she said loudly, "Yes I was but The Shadows was an Atlas based group and you are from Vale aren't you?". Anastasia looked at him and shook her head "The Shadows are an remnant wide assassin cult, you kill for money who have no respect for faunas and they..." she choked and looked down "They killed my brother for the reason that he was faunas" She spat out.

Owain quickly replied "I'm sorry Anastasia, but I was never involved in any killings and they killed my brother as well because I wouldn't kill anyone and now two of them are here hunting me down and if it wasn't for Ruby, that beautiful, incredibly girl, I would either be dead or worse right now."

"Thank you, Owain for those beautiful compliments" Ruby said from the doorway, which made everyone jump. "How long have you been there?" Owain asked.

"Long enough to here you compliment and Anastasia's past, and by the way I am so sorry Anastasia" she said before hugging Anastasia who quickly returned the hug and started to cry. Ruby broke the hug and looked at Paris and Lykaon "Can you take Anastasia back to your dorm, please?" she asked and they both nodded. As soon as they left Ruby practically jumped on to Owain and they started to kiss. After about ten minutes of kissing, Weiss entered the room and quickly shouted "Jeez Ruby can't it wait, you have homework to do and Owain you should be resting!". Ruby groaned and Owain simply said "She's right you know, but don't worry, I'll be out soon and then I can help you with your homework and we can do this a lot more".

This cheered Ruby up and she quickly pecked Owain on the lips before running out of the room and dragging Weiss with her through many cries of protest. Owain quickly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
