Opening with Blake's perspective.

Blake made her way to the main dock looking off to the horizon as she saw the island Menagerie as the ship made its way near the docs. Blake then made her way to the ship's front end and rested her arms on the guardrails as she looked at Menagerie out in the distance. She saw all of the rundown houses that had occasional claw marks and broken pieces of wood from the grimm that occasionally visited the island. The houses were clustered together and the narrow pathways that they considered streets were lit dimly by the lanterns scattered throughout.

Blake: There it is.

Sun: So this is it huh?

Blake looked to her side to see Sun now standing next to her. She wasn't surprised by him. She had gotten used to him typically following close behind.

Blake: Yep.

Blake turned back to look at the island.

Blake: This is Menagerie.

Sun observed the island for a moment and looked around at the many other people aboard the boat.

Sun: Seems like a small place to bring so many people don't you think?

Blake sighed as she continued to look at the island before responding.

Blake: Well, it wasn't a place we chose. It was chosen for us. After the war between humans and faunus, they left us with the island to make a new home there.

Sun looked back at the island and seemed puzzled.

Sun: Looks like only a third of it isn't even being used. Why waste all that space?

Blake glanced over at Sun.

Blake: The rest of the island is desert.

Sun: So? A little desert never hurt anyone.

Blake turned to look at Sun.

Blake: It's not like the deserts in Vaccuo Sun. There are grimm out here that are more dangerous than most other regions and the same can be said for the wildlife.

Sun scoffed.

Sun: Wow. Some kind of place they gave us to make a home at.

Blake looked off back to Menagerie remembering her time calling it her home.

Blake: But it was still home.

Blake then reached into a satchel that she had with her and pulled out a black cloak before putting it on and putting the hood over her head.

Sun looked at her confused.

Sun: What are you doing? Didn't you just say that this was your home?

Blake: The White Fang is here. I'm not staying long and I can't risk them seeing me.

Sun sighed sounding disappointed.

Sun: You have to hide at your own home?

The ship then pulled up to the docs and as it did so Blake looked anxiously at the crowds of people at the docs.

Sun: What's got you so spooked?

Blake looked at Sun worried but quickly looked back at the crowds.

Blake: Nothing.

The ship then lowered its drawbridge allowing everyone to walk onto the island. Blake began to walk off as Sun followed behind her.

Sun: So?

Blake looked back over to Sun expecting him to ask another question.

Sun: You gonna tell me what it was you needed to do here now?
