Ruby felt good, she had gotten a job and she can hang out with her best friend. Everything was going great. Well it was for a bit.
Yang: "Ruby, where are you going?" The sister of the reaper looked on with a curious look.
Ruby, while wearing black jeans, red sneakers, and a black T-shirt, looked over and thought of something.
Ruby: "Hey Yang, I'm heading into Vale. Don't wait up for me." With that, she burst out of the dorm, petals following her.
Yang: "Where could she be heading?"
After escaping her very nosey sister, Ruby made it to the Bullhead ports. After a short wait she boarded and was sitting idle waiting for the ride to finish.
After about 20 minutes, Ruby arrived into the city, her pedals leading a trail to the Golden Lily where she begins her first day.
As she enters the cafe the people there are enjoying themselves. The warm hearth and calm atmosphere was relaxing. She shuffled to the back of the shop and sees Lily working with RJ in the kitchen.
Lily: She turns and see Ruby entering in, with a warm smile gracing her face. "Hi aunty Ruby!" she turned and ran towards the reaper, giving her a hug. "I'm so happy you get to work with us!" Her smile gave off a glow, similar to a fireplace's warmth.
Ruby: "Of course, working with my bestie is good, but working with you is even better, you adorable little nugget!" Ruby snuggled into her self proclaimed niece. "Hey RJ, what's up?"
RJ: The gentle giant turned his head, a warm welcoming smile across his face. "Hello there Ruby, welcome aboard, and we are happy to have ya." He looked back down at the dough he was working on. "He's in the office if you wanna see what needs to be done. After the paperwork."
Ruby smiled and nodded, she patted Lily's head and skipped to the back office. As she approached she heard a voice in the small office ahead of her.
Jaune: "Yes, I'm aware Oz, but she asked me to work here. I didn't poach your student.... No I'm not planning on hiring your entire student body.... Look you can't assume that just because I hate majority of your students I'm gonna steal the ones I like." He had a very drained look about him, similar to one who's talking in circles with a child.... or a cryptic old fuck who can't deal with not being in control. "No I'm not gonna actively look for your students.... Look Oz, if you wanna keep this up I'll make sure you never get the discount I offer you and Oobleck ever again.... Yeah I thought so. Look, I'm only hiring her as a sign of I still care about her. She's genuinely my best friend.. Alright. But keep this attitude again I'm telling Aunty.... alright fuck you too, bye." He let out a long drawn out sigh. He lifted his head and turned to see Ruby at the door frame, confused no doubt by the exchange she witnessed. "Hey Crater, listen sorry you had to hear that. I informed Ozpin about you working here as a curtesy and he decided to assume I was poaching his students." He raked his fingers through his hair, the migraine ever so present on his face. "Anyways, lets start with the legal stuff, paperwork." He pulled out a seat for her at the desk and they started on the paperwork for pay and information.
Ruby: "I'm sorry if this is causing you trouble Jaune, I really just wanted some extra Lien, and to spend time with my bestie." She had a sad look in her eyes.
Jaune: "That's not on you, Ozpin needs to get his head out of his ass." he pulled out his scroll and snapped a picture of Ruby's ID. "I will have to ask your dad for permission to work though. Since you're only 16." He looked to see her dialing her father's number hoping to knock that out quickly.
Ruby: "Not a problem, I'm sure he'll accept since I'm working and not trying to drop out or some weird rebellious reasoning." After a few rings the scroll call went through, the video feed of a blonde man with a goatee appeared on the screen. "Hey dad! How have you been?"
