Futility of Life

Distrust

Penny and Winter exited the elevator penny began to speak to Winter as they made their way to the lobby Penny was scanning Winter trying to understand her commrad more

Penny- Do you hate master Ironwood miss. Winter?

Winter-why would you ask that? of course I don't

Penny- my scanner told me so and numbers don't lie

Winter- of course they do you wouldn't know since your a robot

Penny tilted her head "my scanners are telling me you are lying" she said in a monotone voice "my scanner says the likely hood of you hating master Ironwood is 95% my scanner also shows the probability of you being a lesbian is 100%" Winter started to blush "why the hell is the second part needed!!" She yelled as she started fiddling with the ring on her ring finger "am I wrong about the lesbian part?" Penny asked tilting her head Winter frantically shook her head "No but there is a time and place to say stuff like that and it's not here!!" The girl said before they broke into silence Winter cleared her throat changing the subject back to Ironwood "Yes I fucking hate him is that what you wanted to hear?" Winter sighed Penny tried to comprehend what she was just told "I don't understand if you hate him then why work for him?" Penny asked I genuine confusion Winter sighed before she began to explain

Winter-" Ozpin, Ironwood, Qrow, and Glynda just to name a few from the inner circle I hate them I don't and never will trust them as for why I work for them think of it like this they are the pillars that hold remnant up but how useful is a pillar that doesn't have support even if our ideals differ our world needs leaders we can rely on

Penny- I disagree if the support is faulty then the pillar is unstable I thought someone from the schnee family would understand that

Winter glared at Penny with distain "don't talk about the schnee family like we are so high and mighty" she said turning her back to her Penny asked another question "if you don't trust Ironwood then why bring your sister here?" Winter stopped looking back "I know what she's going through we both were cut out of our family I want her to at least realize that she's more than just the next heir to the family she's my sister not some corporate slave" the two kept walking "So what does this have to do with you being a lesbian?" Penny asked the girl making her stop in her tracks again "you're still on that!!?!" Winter yelled turning around and looking at Penny her face redder than a tomato "are you overheating??" Penny asked with concern Winter shook her head rapidly declaring this conversation was over as she sprinted away

Winter got a fair distance away when she got a call on her scroll "Qrow Branwen..." She sayed under her breath under her breath she reluctantly picked up the call "what do you want Qrow?" She snarled awaiting for his answer "after all this time you're still mad at me huh can you just forgive me already?" Qrow sighed "I will never forgive you for what you did" Winter said with a shakey voice sounding as if she was on the verge of tears "now tell me what you want so I can get to my business you bastard" she growled not hearing Qrow speak for a couple seconds "I just wanted to tell you we won't be able to leave today because Yang is still asleep..." Winter started to laugh "good I didn't want to see you anyways" she said hanging up on him she looked at the ring on her finger "As promised I am here to see you" Winter said as she walked into the dungeon

On the other side Qrow kept trying to contact Winter again with No response

Qrow- Damnit I wasn't done talking she needs to know when to expect us

Glynda- hey Qrow I've been thinking Winter is a hardworking girl and I know she holds a grudge against everyone that directly works under Ozpin but why does she seem to despise you more than anyone else?

Qrow pondered it for a second "I don't know?" He said in a non convincing tone as he took a swig of alcohol from his flask "the fact that your drinking makes me believe you less and I already don't believe you tell me why she hate you?" Glynda sighed qrow looked at her obviously annoyed that she keeps pushing him "I told you I don't know anything witch" Qrow snarled as he started to chug his drink " drinking isn't going to help you get out of this Qrow tell me what happened between you two I won't judge!!" Glynda yelled this time saying it in a more stern but sincere voice Qrow threw his flask across the room spilling alcohol all over and he slammed the desk "look I don't question you about your past so don't question me about mine!!" The man yelled in anger as he stormed out of the room Glynda thought about following him but decided he needs to cool off the girl went to the corner of the room and picked up the man's flask drinking whatever content was left inside. This is the cheap shit... Glynda thought to herself as she finished the flasks contents

Qrow continued to walk the hall "we all have faults so why are mine all of a sudden coming up?" Qrow sighed in annoyance reaching for his flask realizing he left it in the room he contemplated going back but decided it wasn't worth his time and continued forward I didn't do anything wrong he thought to himself "it's all her fault" the man scowled as he sat down against the wall complaining life "aren't you a sorry bastard" a familiar voice said Qrow looked up and saw Raven

Qrow-oh it's just you...

Raven-I knew I'd find you sulking around instead of sitting around doing nothing let's get a drink and discuss this whole ozpin situation and maybe I'll teach you how to be nice to woman...

Qrow- how long have you been following me?

Raven-since the assembly

Qrow thought about it for a few seconds "wait... that means you've been following me all day!" The man yelled making his sister laugh "still as dumb as usual I see" Raven chuckled aggravating Qrow "well anyways no good for you to sit here sulking let's go" Raven said estaticly can this day get any worse Qrow thought to himself as one of the overhead lights collapsed and fell on top of him Raven sighed as she uncovered her brother starting to drag him to the bar
