By the time I got back to the dorm rooms we found Ruby and Yang playing video games and talking quietly, stepping into the room I froze. Staring at Blake's bed there was a small black lump on the bed, "please tell me that isn't..."the small black lump moved when I spoke lifting its head to stare at me, "...a DOG!" Scrambling across the room to the corner my bed was in I launched myself onto high ground and peered down in terror at the small barking monstrosity.
"Uh Dove?"
"Ruby, what is that...that thing doing in here?"
"Dove that is Zwei, our dog"
"No, you don't have a dog, I would have seen him."
"Yeah we do, he even went on a mission with us once"
"Oh yeah where has he been for the last week then?"
"Oh well he sort of roams around, comes and goes as he pleases really, come on Dove come down he isn't that bad"
"No! I am not going any where near that thing! I am going to stay right here till he leaves"
"You might be there a while, what happens when you need to go to the toilet?"
"I will...uh...I...stop it I don't know I will get him to leave somehow."
"Oh and how are you going to do that?"
Lifting my hands I concentrated and a shimmering silvery coloured dust drifted from my hands condensing into little floating lights, guiding the light to the open door I waited patiently for Zwei to follow them. When he did I then used green dust to form a small gust of wind which caused the to door slam shut behind him, bouncing from my bed I shouted "haha there that is how you de-dogify a room"

I was wondering the school again ambling aimlessly down random corridors greeting anyone I recognised when I heard it. Pausing at the end of the empty corridor I listened intently '...at do you mean they are both here?' 'I mean both Qrow and his daughter are here at the school' 'Do they know?' 'No neither are aware of their relationship to each other' 'It has to remain that way, if he realised he actually has a child he could ruin the whole plan by suddenly getting more paranoid and not dying when he is supposed to.' 'And the child?' 'She can not know either if she knew she would try to foster a relationship that can not exist or else Qrow might actually stand a chance.'
Needing to know who was plotting against Qrow I peeked around the edge of the corridor and stared for a moment startled, backing away slowly I got the hell out of that corridor as quickly as possible, I had to tell Qrow what I heard.

I found Qrow outside standing next to the fountain, drinking, again. "QROW!"
Spinning around he frowned at me "hey feathers what's got your wings in a bunch?"
"I...I...corridor...people...you...a...plan...daughter..."
"Feathers take a deep breath and slow down" waiting for me to comply before continuing "now tell me what is wrong"
"I was walking and I went down this corridor and I heard cinder talking to this weird looking lady, they were talking about you. Apparently you have a daughter and they are planning to k...k...ki...kill you"
"I..i have a kid?"
Sighing "yeah but seriously that is what you take from that not the fact you are being targeted for an assassination attempt?"
"Someone is always trying to off me, but a kid...I wonder..." suddenly he was peering at me studying my face from several different angles "who was your mom I don't think you ever mentioned her before"
Frowning I said "I never knew her, I've found out her name was Cygne and that she was also a bird Faunus and that her trait was the same as mine but other than that not much. Why?"
"Did she have red hair?"
"Yeah I have a picture actually, here" turning my scroll to face him I showed him the image of my mother standing next to her friend when she was youger her wings we smaller and slightly more grey than white compared to mine but the similarities where unmistakeable.
"Oh, I think I know who my kid is"
"Huh" what on earth did that have to do with my mother, "Oh. You mean your my..."
"Yeah kido, it would appear I am your dad. Wow I was not expecting this today"
"But you would expect this another day"
Shrugging slightly he muttered "I slept around a lot"
Snorting I said "only you Qrow, or should I call you dad now?" grinning impishly at him
"Why you little...don't you dare!"
Skipping away slightly I said "dad, da, papa, pops, father, daddy I could go on any you have a preference to?"
"How about if you call me any of those I will start calling you little chick"
"Wha...you wouldn't"
"Try me, chick"
Scowling at him I said "you are no fun Qrow"
"Sure I am, your just not seeing it little chick"
"Why are you still calling me that?"
"Cos I like it"
"I hate you"
"No you don't"
"Bite me. Ow I didn't mean literally you freak"
Punching him I took off across the courtyard squealing when he started chasing me.
Several hours later we were both stretched out on the roof of the sparing building, rolling over to face Qrow I said "what are we going to do about the plot to kill you?"
"You are not going to do anything, I will tell Ozpin and I will be extra careful about taking candy from strangers. Now off with you don't you have a fight tomorrow or something?"
Snorting I muttered "or something" as I dropped of the roof and made my way back to the dorm rooms.
