RWBY: "Gallants and Guardians of Remnant"

[Vol.4] "Remembrance!"

(CrescentRWBY)

The scene opens to Weiss and Ozzy walking down a long, carpeted hallway of blue, white and gray. Protruding columns from the walls are decorated with black sconces and lit candles. Nature paintings are hung in an alternating pattern between the columns. There is also the occasional cushioned chair or round coffee table placed along the walls.

Weiss: "Do you know why he's calling for us?"

Ozzy: "I'm afraid not, Weiss, Klein asked me to come with him and fetch you. I'm afraid I'm being summoned to be dispatched out of here and return to Atlas Academy."

Weiss: "I... I don't think he'll do that to you..."

Next, they are seen walking along an upper-level balcony above a large dining hall. A white and green floral centerpiece decorates the white-clothed table. Every column both above and below bears a sconce, but these candles are not lit. Beside Weiss on the balcony are large arch-shaped openings with white gauze curtains. Through one of the curtains, a crystal chandelier can be seen in another room. There is a shut, brown wooden door in the direction the two are heading.

-----

They walk together in the hallway, never having looked up the entire time until Weiss has a startled reaction to hearing her brother's voice coming from right in front of her.

Whitley: "Good afternoon, sister."

A teenage boy, somewhat younger than Weiss, stands before her. He's got his hand on his chest and he affects a bow.

Whitley: "A pleasure to see you out of your room for a change."

Weiss sidesteps him and turns to speak, and since he moves to face her the effect is that of the two of them briefly circling each other. Ozzy sighs in annoyance.

Ozzy: "Excuse me, but please refrain from these childish acts. Weiss is being summoned by her father."

Whitley: "My apologies."

Weiss: "Hello, Whitley. You're in a cheery mood today."

Whitley: "Klein made crepes for breakfast."

He clasps his hands behind his back and smirks at her.

Weiss: "What do you want?"

Whitley: "I heard Father shouting with someone in his study earlier."

Weiss: "Mother?"

Whitley: "No, she's already drinking in the garden. I think it was a man."

Ozzy: "Is it the general?"

Whitley: "Who knows?"

Weiss looks up at him on this.

Whitley: "I just wanted to warn you. I heard he had asked to speak with you."

Weiss: "I'll be fine."

Whitley: "I know you will. You are strong, like Winter."

Weiss: "You never liked Winter."

Behind Weiss the Schnee Dust Company emblem can be seen above the archway she was walking toward.

Whitley: "True, but you can't deny her resolve."

Weiss: "You... seem different."

Whitley: "And you've been gone. I'll have you know I didn't stop growing while you were away at Beacon."
