RWBY Through Worlds (End)

BC4: A Grimm Assignment (Flash Flood/Obsidian)--1

About a month after the wedding, Yang and Neptune had gone back on the road to head out to the edges of Mistral.

Grimm were still lurking out there, and more bandits.

Yang couldn't get what her parents had told her out of her head for all that time, and acted a bit more on edge than usual.

Failing to come to any conclusion of her own, she decided to do what she didn't really want to do and ask for advice.

So she wrote to Shine.

She got an answer three days later in her time, so probably it took Shine minutes or hours, that whole thing was weird.

Shine's answer was, as usual, more thought out.

"I am glad you asked us actually, since this is something we didn't cover that much with you all. I understand that you've all been rethinking how you view relationships in light of what we taught you.

And you should, because this touches everything we do.

However, I don't want you to feel afraid.

I understand that you don't feel ready to make any clear decisions yet about what you want long term, but you have to consider that that is exactly what your parents are worried about. And they're right, it often does make things much harder.

As for what the Word says, we are supposed to flee all temptations, and I do wonder if you situation is compromising that. I didn't want to confront you if you weren't open to discussing it, but if you're asking, I think you already know deep down that something is off.

I suggest that if you want to stay together, set up some boundaries and do not cross them, no matter how harmless it seems.

If I were you--and remember, I travel with my boyfriend now, it's not as if these thoughts never crossed my mind--I would do basically what we did. You can travel together, but never share rooms, or stay secluded in any one place for two long, and keep physical contact to a level you can handle without getting carried away.

In the long run you'll both feel better about it if you do split, if you didn't cross any lines.

But everyone is different, and what's difficult for some people isn't for others. So be aware that it's different, Especially between guys and girls, what's hard and what isn't.

Also for goodness' sake, do not ever do something like wearing only under garments--people who do that are nuts!"

Yang rolled her eyes at that.

"Perhaps it would be best to consider meeting up at the location instead of traveling together at all times, if you really don't want to push it. But I won't tell you what to do. This is what I would do. Otherwise, it's up to you how to handle it, but please do take your parents' concerns into consideration, they're only trying to protect you, even if it annoyed you to hear it.

On a different note, your mother doesn't regret having you, she just wishes she was a different sort of person. Sometimes we see ourselves in our kids because we can't let go of our mistakes. But you don't have to imitate her. You both have this immense drive, but you've tended to misdirect it at times. Direct it towards staying on track, and you shouldn't have any problems.

I guess the trick is to be as aggressive about making sure we do what's right and as passionate about it, as we used to be about being angry. I've turned my anger into fuel for my compassion, and I suggest you get a focus and channel all that energy into it. You're enjoying your freedom now, but freedom gets old without a focus. But don't worry too much. It usually hits you when you're not expecting it.
