You are sitting at a small café with Blake.




"What did you want to talk about?" you asked.





Blake: "I feel I can trust someone outside my team."





"Does this involve you being a Faunus?"






Blake looked at you with surprise.





Blake: "How did you know?"






"It's sort of a guess," you continued, "but I know that bows don't usually twitch."





Blake quickly realized that mistake.





"Blake, don't worry. I don't see you any differently."






Blake: "Do you really?"






"I don't," you said bluntly. "How did you end up going against the White Fang?"






Blake: "The White Fang was originally full of peaceful protests but that didn't work out. Their leader stood down and was replaced by someone else. The White Fang resorted to extreme measures that caused everyone to fear them all. I remained with them for a while even though my family begged me to leave. During a heist, I realized how wrong my actions were and decided to abandon them."







"So what's with the bow?" you asked.





Blake: "I wear the bow because some people are still prejudiced against the Faunus. Are you okay with Faunus?"






"Well, you see, I was saved by a Faunus when I was young," you explained. "Some Grimm attacked me and I fell into a lake and nearly drowned, but a Faunus dove in and swam me back to the surface. After that, I saw both sides of the Faunus akin to how I see both sides of Humanity. I know that both sides have their shades of darkness and light, but they're mostly consumed by their darkness. I learned, however, that even a spark can make all the difference."






Blake: "So why did you become a huntsman?"






"One of the reasons I became a Huntsmen was to protect the Faunus. I know the White Fang grows more violent and they might not actually care for their kind."






Blake: "One person is certainly sending that message. Would you would still like to work with me?"






"I would," you stated proudly. "Nothing will change that."






Blake: "Let's start making the world better for Humans and Faunus."






You smiled as you and Blake left the café.
