No words said. I apologize if I'm making people cry...even though it's a good thing.

"She's inexperienced," I stated bluntly.

"No shit," Hotel replied, "I could've told you that."

"But then," Ruby interjected, "how did she get into Beacon then?"

After the match, we all decided to chill with team RWBY in their room for a while before we had to cram for our written exams.

The room remained silent until Weiss said, "Well…if I recall correctly, Steelcore Industries is really big on weapon's manufacturing."

"Huh? 'Steelcore Industries?' What's that?"

I glanced at Sierra, who was clearly confused. Weiss pulled out her communicator, pressing several buttons. Suddenly, Sierra's communicator buzzed as she pulled it out, looking at what was sent to her by Weiss.

"…Weapons…makes them…big…Schnee family rival…," Lima stated. Hotel whistled as Weiss stated, "No doubt that each of their weapons are made from Steelcore Industries."

"Those two kids are the golden geese," Hotel stated, "Kinda surprising that their pops would let them become Hunters."

"Golden geese?"

I could feel Ruby shift in my arms as Hotel continued his explanation.

"They're twins, Saber and Dagger. Saber's the calm, cool, collected guy who's basically good at…well…pretty much everything. Dagger's had a harder time at it, therefore making her more stubborn and…well…mistake-prone. Since there's such a difference in their personalities, Saber was declared the family's heir, much like Weiss. Dagger, however, feels it's her obligation as his twin to push him, so she came along to Beacon…probably by faking her transcripts since she's terrible with her studies."

"Faking-!?"

Sierra immediately stood up.

"That's unbelievable," she said, clearly pissed off, "I worked my ass just to get accepted and she goes off and fakes her transcripts! The nerve of-!"

"Chill Sierra," I interjected. Sierra's deathly glare landed on me as I said, "Even if she faked her grades, there's a lot of potential in her."

"Potential?"

Ruby turned to face me as I continued, "When I was fighting her, her move lacked fluidity; like she was just waving the weapon without treating it like a part of herself. And it true; weapons aren't part of our bodies. But the way she was using her daggers was the complete opposite of how Ruby uses Crescent Rose, or how Yang uses Ember Celica, or Blake with Gambol Shroud, and vice versa."

"So in other words," Sierra stated, finally calming down, "she's raw, but she's got talent?"

"Yeah, basically," I answered. Sierra put a finger on her chin, dropping her gaze a bit as she said, "So that's how you beat her so easily then, huh…."

"Probably," I said. Then it occurred to me with what Dagger had said to me at the arena.

"Hey Hotel," I asked, turning to him. The man turned to me as I said, "Is Dagger the kind of spoiled brat who'd get anything he wanted?"

"Delta!"

"Sorry! Sorry!"

I could feel Ruby pinching my cheek as Hotel said, "That's how it was when I went to school with him. Why you ask?"

Ruby let go of my cheek as I sighed and pulled her tighter, getting a little gawk as I said, "Because this girl's mine."

There was a moment of silence, then Yang let out a wolf whistle. We burst out laughing as Ruby landed a little punch on my thigh. I repositioned her so that she was closer to me and said, "Well, considering that he's said that we should break up and that Dagger told me to back off of you, I don't think I'm letting you go any time soon, Rubes."

"Oh Del," she said, leaning back into me.

"Aww," Sierra said, "that's cute~!"

I could feel a blush creeping up on my face as a knock on the door caught our attention. Yang walked over to it, opening it as a male voice said, "Package for Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long."

Weiss's eyes immediately began to glow as Blake suddenly hopped onto her bed. I blinked in surprise as Yang opened the package, dropping what looked like a black blob.

No way…is that…? Is that really…?

Suddenly, the blob turned into what I thought it was.

Zwei.

The dog barked as Lima immediately walked over to him, picking him up and taking a good sniff of him as he did the same. Sierra laughed at her overly friendly gesture as Ruby yelled, "ZWEI!"

With that, she disappeared from my arms, taking her dog away from Lima. Lima blinked several times before she walked over to Ruby, touching Zwei's nose as Hotel asked Yang, "Your old man really sends your dog through the mail?"

"Yep," Yang replied, "that sounds like dad alright."

"Night babe!"

With that, Yang gave Hotel a goodbye kiss as she waltzed back into team RWBY's dorm room. I smiled after her as Ruby tugged my shirt. I turned to face her, seeing her wrap her arms around my neck as she said, "I'll see you tomorrow, Del."

"Yeah," I replied, "sweet dreams, Rubes."

With that, we shared a kiss.

I hugged her one last time before finally leaving her to join up with my team just outside team RWBY's room.

Sierra had a grin on her face, causing me to raise an eyebrow in suspicion as she said, "You know…I ought to just leave you and Ruby in our room tonight~!"

"Shut the hell up, Sierra," I replied. The girl laughed and said, "Alright, SHLD! Time to head back to base!"

"By the way, Ruby."

Ruby turned to face her older sister as Yang suddenly threw something at her. Weiss looked up from her position under Ruby's bed with Zwei as Yang said, "You might want to start taking that."

"What is it?"

Ruby stared at the pill-like object curiously. Weiss peeked her head over the side of Ruby's bed, slowly blushing as she said, "WH-what are you giving that to her for, Yang!?"

Yang grinned sheepishly and said, "Well, why not?"

Ruby stared at the two in utter confusion as she asked, "Seriously, what is this?"

Weiss opened her mouth to speak, but then slowly sunk back down into her bed as Yang said, "Silly; it's birth control."

Ruby stared at Yang, processing the information. As she finally began to comprehend it, her face began to grow hot as Yang continued, "That one night was just a chance safe day right? Well, if you're gonna be doing it with Delta, then you've gotta be safe, sis!"

With a wink, Yang jumped into bed. Weiss shifted uncomfortably in her bed beneath Ruby. Ruby's blush was clearly visible as she continued to stare at the pill. Partly in surprise, amazement, and something else.

"…maybe…it isn't…a bad idea…," she muttered to herself.
