Hello once again I have pulled a beautiful chapter out of my ass
And once again this was edited by the wonderful Ghost132
Morgan Fen finished knitting a pale blue scarf on his bed which had intricate designs on it , looking over at Sable who was sitting on her bed, arms crossed staring back at him for the good part of the whole night. It was 5 am and these two were the only ones awake, for neither had slept through the night.
Sable didn't know what to do with this guy; a mute as the team leader who could only communicate with a chalkboard didn't exactly make her feel comfortable as a teammate. Not to mention she also couldn't get a read on him. All night they had been staring at each other, not once trying to talk to the other.
Morgan couldn't sleep for a very similar reason, what was Ozpin thinking? A mute leading a team and could only one teammate understood him? The entire concept was crazy! The silent boy switched to an amber colored string and continued knitting. The two were still staring at eachother as the sun started to shine through their window. Morgan put down the now finished with the intricately woven scarf and reached under the bed, pulling out his chalkboard and wrote quickly on it.
When he finished, Morgan tossed the scarf over at Sable who caught it and stopped staring at her leader to look at the finished scarf. It was pale blue and at the bottom of one of the ends were two amber ram horns and at the other was her name in elegant stitching while in between was their team abbreviation . When the ram Faunas looked up from the scarf she saw Morgan holding up the chalkboard.
I know you have your doubts but please give me a chance
Sable was shocked for a moment then gave a slight smile.
"What's going on?" Copper yawned, sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes.
Good morning Morgan signed eloquently to the mouse.
"Good morning. What's that?" Copper asked groggily , lazily getting up and moving to Sable's bed, picking up the beautiful scarf. Sable ruffled Coppers hair and scratched behind his furry ears and Morgan gave half smile at his team.
The door opened and a boy who everyone recognized. Blonde hair clung to his face with sweat, his clothes slightly damped with the blonds own sweat and he was panting slightly. He looked up to the three and swore loudly.
"This isn't my dorm!" Plum wiped his forehead with his forearm getting rid of the sweat, "Sorry, guys. Without my friend Taru I always get lost.." Plum muttered and left the room with utmost haste. He passed Victor as he left the room, Victor had a fairly large bag in his left hand filled with assorted doughnuts and a tray of cups filled with coffee in the other.
"Well that was...interesting." Victor smiled and closed the door with his foot. "I got doughnuts and coffee for you guys. Want some?" Coppers face lit up and he jumped off the bed to grab a glazed covered doughnut. Sable looked over Victor, she knew she could trust him in battle but other than that she wasn't sure about what kind of a guy he was. Copper jumped onto Sable's bed with his doughnut in mouth.
Do you like coffee? Copper signed to Morgan as he chewed. Morgan shook his head then raised his hands to sign.
"What did he say?" Sable asked, looking at Copper who swallowed his doughnut.
"He asked if we have class soon." Copper translated then took another bite of the doughnut.
"Probably. But it's only day one, relax a little." Victor commented as he sipped his coffee. Morgan clapped his hands to get his team's attention. When they looked over at him they saw him holding up his chalkboard.
I'm going to class.
"We'll come too! Come on, guys!" Copper smiled and hopped off of the bed and started to don his school uniform. He struggled to tie his tie correctly and eventually Sable had to help him out.
Their first class of the day was with a rather large and egotistical man with a fabulous mustache. He discussed his uncle who smelled like cabbages and continued to drone on and on and on until there were ten minutes left of the class and he called on the infamous Weiss Schnee to fight against a grimm for the entire class. When the battle was over, a male friend of hers, who they heard her refer to as Brian, escorted her out of class and tried to calm her down after seeing her get upset at her team leader.
As the rest of the class started to shuffle out of the classroom, Morgan made a beeline directly too the spot where the fight had happened and picked up a small rock that had come out of the cage as the Grimm did. The rock was dull and sharp but Morgan's eyes sparkled with glee at this new treasure.
"What's that?" Copper asked, standing with the rest of team MSCV next to Morgan. The mute turned around and showed the rock to his team. Sable raised an eyebrow at her leader being so excited over something so unimportant. Morgan put the rock in his pocket and started to sign rapidly to Copper.
"Oh, I see!" Copper smiled. "When did you start to collect them? How many do you have? Which is your favorite? Why does your hair always look so soft?" Morgan started to sign back but Sable interrupted.
"We should get to our next class with Goodwitch. She is someone I would not like to piss off by being late."
Morgan paused in his signing to pick up his chalkboard and write.
You're right. Let's go
"Isn't it tiresome to write on a chalkboard all the time?" Copper asked as the team started to head out. Morgan nodded after a moment's thought. Victor and Sable exchanged glances at this. They both thought the same thing, how could this mute boy be a leader during a fight with a chalkboard?
The first thing Glenda did was randomly choose two people on a team and matched them up against randomly selected other partners and had them fight. The familiar and flamboyant Plum who had accidentally walked into their room that morning stepped onto the fighting stage with the little arctic fox faunas on his back. Their opponents were two boys who had obviously never fought together before and looked quite nervous.
"Well that's just not fair." Sable pushed a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Why do you say that?" Victor asked as he adjusted a silver band covering his burn marks along his knees.
Plum and Taru have been fighting together as long as I've known them
"How long have you known them? I've known them for like two years." Copper asked.
4
"I met him when I first came to this kingdom." Sable added into the conversation.
The match began. Taru, the fox, jumped off of Plum's back and disappeared into the shadows of the stage. Plum threw his arm out and those with sharp vision could see a shimmer of what looked like thread shoot from his hand and a needle stuck through one of the opponents shirts. Another string was launched this time having red dust balls attached but before anyone could understand what they were, from that distance, the dust exploded. The two opposing boys flew out of the cloud of smoke and when it cleared they saw the fox faunas standing in the center, jumping up and down with her two tonfa's in her hands.
Morgan stared intently at what had just happened, you could almost see the gears turning in his head. He started to sign rapidly, discussing things with himself.
"What's he saying?" Sable asked Copper. The mouse was about to translate but before he did, his eyes widened with excitement and exclaimed "That's brilliant, Morgan!"
"What's brilliant? Hurry up and translate." Sable said, now slightly annoyed.
"He came up with a strategy for you and he to win against those two!"

Sable and Morgan had tried to fight against Plum and Taru but lost. The ram could feel herself getting frustrated with the fact that he had signed to her during the battle but she couldn't understand it. If she could, the battle would've been easy to win with his staff wrapping up the strings with explosives and her fighting off the fox. They were caught off guard when the fox disappeared from their sights again and struck them from behind. That's when Morgan had signed to Sable with a counter plan but it was all for nothing.
Sable didn't say anything while they were at lunch. The team decided afterwards that it would be best to explore the grounds to get a sense of their surroundings. Morgan got caught up in the gardens, putting rocks and things into his pockets. That's when Sable pulled Copper and Victor aside.
"What's wrong?" Copper asked.
"We should have won. But we didn't. Teach us sign language." Sable said simply. Victor gave his consent to the plan to learn but Copper looked uncomfortable.
"I'm no teacher..Morgan would be able to teach you better…" Copper looked over at Morgan who was rubbing dirt off a dust shard he had found.
"I have an idea." Copper smiled brightly now.

It was almost midnight when Victor woke up Morgan. Morgan looked up at him with sleepy eyes then sat up and reached for his chalkboard, which was no longer next to his bedside where he had put it. He looked back over to Victor, confused, and saw Copper and Sable sitting with him. A candle was lit just enough for the team to see each other.
You won't need that anymore. Sable signed very sloppily and slowly.
Teach us Victor paused with his signing and looked to Copper for help. Copper reminded him of the sign and Victor continued Teach us sign language
"Isn't it great?! That's all they know how to say but I taught them that. We figured if the whole team knew sign language we would have the upper hand! What do you say?" Copper explained very cheerily. Morgan looked at the faces of his team and felt a smile tug at his lips. After moving a hand to wipe a tear from his eye he signed back.
Time to learn some sign language, team MSCV
