Y/n sits down on one edge of a chair and retells the horrors of that night up to the last thing he remembers. As he tells the story Yang slowly goes from angry and hostile to purely horrified, at the end she falls to her knees in front of Y/n and looks up into his eyes.
Yang: my Y/n, (grabbing his face softly) what did they do to you?
As Yang's hands touch his face he sighs and relaxes, melting into the touch
Y/n don't worry about it. I'm here now so it's not all I feared it would be.
Yang: what do you mean?
After I woke up, (takes a deep breath) I tried to make a life away from everything I knew because I thought you wouldn't want me as I am. A zombie supersoldier meant for one thing and one thing only. So I hid for the last few months in a village close to lake Matsu, I didn't want to be another burden for you.
Yangs grabs his chin and makes him look her in the eyes.
Yang: you moron, why wouldn't I want you? What were you thinking?!
And with that, she wrapped him in her arms and hugged him tightly until he finally relaxed
The dinner table is abuzz as the currently present members of Team RWBY and the remaining members of Team JNPR all talk over each other indistinctly. The mood is quite cheery, with the children all smiling and laughing.
Yang: (laughs to Jaune) How do you lose your map at a time like that?
Jaune: Believe me, I've asked myself the same thing ever since.
Yang, Weiss, and Ruby laugh, while Jaune smiles and giggles sheepishly.
Nora: Hey, but you made up for it, Mister Muscles! You shoulda seen this guy take a giant Grimm head on!
Jaune: I couldn't have done it without Ruby wearing it down.
Ruby: Uh, me? Did you see Ren during that fight? He was out of control!
Ren: I'm sorry, I may have lost my temper momentarily.
Ruby: No, no! Out of control as in "awesome"!
Ren: Oooohhh. (smiles) Thank you.
Everyone at the table bursts into laughter.
As dinner continues, Weiss tells her story about how she accidentally summoned a Boarbatusk during the Schnee charity ball.
Ruby: (gasps) You did not!
Weiss has her face in her hands.
Weiss: Yeah, right in the middle of the party.
Yang: Please tell me you let that lady have it.
Weiss: Of course not! Even if I did really want to. And part of it was your fault Y/n.
Y/n: (smiles) my bad
Nora: (crossing her arms, skeptical) No way, I don't believe it.
Weiss summons her Boarbatusk right next to Nora. The Grimm summon growls, causing Nora to yelp and fall to her side. Weiss, Yang, Jaune and Ren all laugh.
As dinner nearly finishes, Yang shows off her robotic prosthetic arm to the rest of the group. All of them react in awe.
Yang: It's not a replacement for the real thing, but I'll make sure to make good use of it.
Jaune: That's amazing.
Ren: Incredible.
Ruby gets all starry-eyed and quickly zooms over to her sister's side to admire her arm.
