Prequel; A Xodiacian in Remnant (RWBY Qrow Branwen x OC Bellae Evergreen)

Chapter 8- Regrowing Flowers, Shrubs, Herbs Alike

Bellae , Qrow and Ozpin had talked for hours today, learning more about her species. She had told stories of her homeworld, how beautiful everything was. Planets full of bioluminescent trees, grass, how the buildings were decorated into nature and so much more. Bellae had a very large book about Xodiacians, showing the two older men details of the pages, examples of how each Xodiacian looked like, the variations were all unique and quite beautiful. Qrow's favorite were obviously the Corvus one, seeing the raven, crow and magpie designs made him hyped to know that some other life form was just like him a tiny bit.

Ozpin was enamoured, but painfully paid attention with the lifespans of her kind, this didn't surprise her as humans normally wouldn't like to live nearly forever. However, the look in his eyes could tell her everything, as if he personally has lived for eons. This confused Bellae , she wanted to say something to him but felt like she was trespassing over something very personal to him. The Xodiacian bit her tongue and decided to not dive in uncharted territory. Leaving that behind for now, maybe sometime in the future when they're closer, she'll ask him.

Time passes by when people are having fun, and Bellae nearly fell out of her seat when she realized how late it was, four hours had passed. In the middle of their time conversing, Ozpin had ordered take out for them to eat for lunch, but now it was near dinner time. And she remembered having plans all the way back home. Ozpin saw her checking the time and noticed a concerned look on her face, "Is there something wrong, Ms. Evergreen?" he asked.

"I... Uh. Yeah, it's just, wow four hours have passed since we've been talking. And I have to get home so I can restock my shop before it gets too delayed for my next opening. Sorry to cut things short." Bellae apologized, getting up from her chair.

Qrow yawned, getting him from his own chair too, stretching out his relaxed muscles, "Yeah I should be getting back out on my missions too while we're getting ready to leave." he simply states.

"Understandable, but before you leave Ms. Evergreen, I'd like to give you my number and keep us in contact if there's ever anything you need from me specifically." Ozpin smiles softly, pulling out his scroll to switch numbers.

Bellae nods, taking out her own scroll and doing the same. Once numbers have been switched, she is taken by Qrow back to the elevator to head down. She waved at the headmaster goodbye before the doors shut. "You had a good time, ey?" Qrow asked, smirking.

The Xodiacian looked at him and blushed slightly, nodding her head, "Yeah. Was pretty shocked that I nearly spent the whole day out of my house." she replied.

"Which is good, right? You said it yourself that you didn't want to waste the rest of millenia being a shut-in, and now you have people here who can help with that." He added.

"Yeah, of course. I just...I get worried when things aren't done in time, you know? I have a lot of products to work with back in my shop. I might even need to pull an all-nighter to get things done." Bellae nervously said, looking back on her scroll to see what time it was. This was one of her nervous habits of hers, constantly checking the time in whatever she was doing.

"You'll be fine, trust me. You can use magic unlike us." Qrow remarked, nudging her shoulder.

She didn't say anything else but nodded again, she felt tired in replying through words, having talked enough for the day. Once the elevator hit the last floor, Bellae and Qrow walked out, turning to one another to say their goodbyes. "You don't want me to walk you home again?" He asks.

"Well aren't you just a kind gentleman?" Bellae snickered, swaying her tail around.

"I'm just doing my best." He retorted back, chuckling with her.
