Reuniting...

Lupin pushed his way through the crowd. Grumbling under his breath.

"This is why I don't go into cities anymore..." Lupin hissed under his breath, shoving another person out of his way as he made his way. "Dammit..."

Lupin was suddenly shoved forward, sending him to the ground from behind causing him to fall and land on his stomach. Snarling like a wild animal he turned around. "What the hell?"

"Oh!" A rather familiar voice said before giving a hiccup. "'Orry!"

Lupin groaned, before turning around and finding Qrow Broadwin. "Birdy Boy?" Qrow seemed to blink and squint, leaning extremely close to Lupin. So close Lupin could smell alcohol on his breath, and Lupin would swear up and down he felt inebriated just by smelling his breath. Lupin pinched his nose. "Geez, bird boy, how much did you drink?"

"Geez, don't run off like that! You can barely stand!" Another voice said, and Lupin leaned over and found Oscar coming over. "Oh, it's you."

"Houdy Farm Boy." Lupin said grabbing his imaginary hat to tilt it to the boy, before he shoved Qrow's body away and stood up. Brushing off the 'dust' on his clothing he looked over at the bow. "I see you found Birdy Boy, I'm assuming you met?"

"Er..." Oscar started blinking. "...Sort of. I'm taking him back to someone named Ruby."

"Ah, Red. she's somewhere in the city too?" Lupin muttered seeming to be thinking. "Alright. I'll help." He roughly grabbed Qrow's arm and threw it over his shoulders before halling him off the ground. "Welp, daylight's burning, and I'd prefer to get him off me before I get Second hand Drunk."

Oscar nodded grabbing Qrow's other arm and putting it around his shoulders so the two boys began literally dragging the older man away.

"Can I ask why you came?" Oscar asked as they headed along.
"Simple..." Lupin grunted as Qrow tried to move. "Stop moving old geezer!" Lupin huffed as they continued on. "....I'd feel horrible if you got mugged by someone other than me." Lupin looked over to see an extremely worried Oscar before he snorted. "No, it's a joke. But really I'd.... Never live it down, if someone were to hurt you, right after I'd just seen you off on the train. On top of that I'd given you the wrong card. I gave you one that had no money, I tried to catch you before you left but, I missed, so I followed. I remembered you mentioning something about Mistral, so, here I am." Lupin huffed. "Honestly if I knew I was just going to be lugging someone like him around, I'd have let you go. But I'm here and helping so..." Lupin shrugged. "But really, Let's hurry this along, I'm sick of smelling his breath."

They soon made it to where at where Qrow had 'told' them to go, and Lupin sent Oscar on ahead. Wrangling the older man ahead. He managed to get Qrow up the stairs, in time to see Oscar knocking on the door.

"Can I help you?" A familiar boy's voice asked.

"Um... yeah." Oscar said glancing into the room before over to Lupin. "Is there a... Ruby Rose Here?"

"Why?" A harsh female voice asked.

"Well..." Oscar started again, only for Qrow to shove Lupin away and grab onto Oscar's shoulders.

"I found him!" Qrow cheered, before he laughed and stumbled into the room.

"I think her Uncle could use some help..." Oscar finished pointing at the male who stumbled in and flopped onto the couch. "Found him..."

"By Oum! Warn me! Or ask me to let you go!" Lupin hissed pushing himself off the floor again and stepping into the doorway. "Oh, Vomit Boy, Pinky, Green Guy." He waved. "Long Time no See."
