3rd POV


Weiss was running excitedly to the airship docks with Ruby doing her best to keep up.

Ruby: Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?

Weiss: Winter.

Ruby: Wait... Your sister?

Weiss: *cups mouth* Winter!

As Weiss and Ruby are running up to her, Winter turns to them as Weiss greets her.

Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... *suddenly curtsies* Your presence honors us.

Winter: *looks around as she approaches them* Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.

Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.

Weiss immediately punches Ruby in the shoulder which causes her to fall over in pain.

Weiss: So, what are you doing here?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Of course.

Ruby: *awkwardly* Well... this is nice... I think.

Weiss: *excitedly* You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! *discreetly whispers* Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-

Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.

Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!

Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter.

Weiss: But, we won!

Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed. *Winter turns to address her security guards* Leave us.

The AK-200s obey, walking two steps backwards into formation as she sighs and smiles a little more warmly at Weiss*

Winter: How have you been?

Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm-

Winter: *slaps Weiss* Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?

Weiss: Well, there's Ruby.

Ruby: Heh, boob.

Winter: I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.

Ruby: Uh... Thank you!

Winter: Greetings, Ruby Rose. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister.

Ruby: Oh! Uh, yes, of course! *attempts to salute and curtsy* The honor is in my... court!

Weiss: There is also one other thing I haven't mentioned yet...

Winter turns to face Weiss again in curiousity.

Winter: Oh? Well then, what is it dear sister?

Weiss leans towards Winter and whisper's into her ear.

Weiss: *whispering* I.....have a boyfriend now.....

Winter's eyes widen slightly but remains stoic and composed.
