Myrtenaster looked as perfect as always, with its shiny metal reflecting the sunlight into Weiss' eyes, and the ancient Atlesian runes that she had painstakingly carved into the blade herself. It was a reflection of its owner, perfectly optimized for Weiss' use. The blade was made just for one single purpose, to serve as an extension of her body as she worked to defend humanity from the creatures of Grimm.

Weiss' lips pressed themselves into a thin line. What was a huntress supposed to do in a world without Grimm? Granted, Weiss wasn't planning on staying here long if the magic portal that Princess Luna and Twilight worked as they hypothesized, but what if it didn't? As much as Weiss hoped it would, she was also a realist. Twilight didn't seem particularly confident that the portal could send her home, despite the smile she forced onto her muzzle. Twilight's eyes betrayed her, eyes were the window to the soul, Father had made sure Weiss learned that lesson at a young age to ensure the Schnee legacy would continue to rule Atlas through the SDC. 

"At least you're here with me." Weiss murmured softly, running her aura protected finger against Myrtenaster's blade. Without Ruby, Blake, or Yang, Mrytenaster would be her only friend here, for now at least. Her eyes drifted to the handful of Dust canisters and crystals that Princess Luna had returned. 

She had them spread out on her bed, far apart from each other. The raw crystals, like the ones she used for her earrings, would explode if they weren't treated properly. Her aura should be able to protect her, but it was drained from healing her wounds so the former heiress didn't feel like taking any chances. Growing more would take time, a long time even with help from her Schnee glyphs, but it wasn't like Weiss was planning on fighting anyone at the moment. Not in these ugly clothes at least. 

Weiss wasn't Yang.

Surprisingly, sleep came to Weiss much easier than she thought it would. She didn't have any nightmares, and from what she remembered about her dreams, they were about her happier days, before the Vytal Festival. It felt…nice. 

The ponies had brought her another change of oversized clothes to sleep in, which while uncomfortable, were better than nothing. Weiss didn't want to be a bother. 

"Good morning Weiss!" Princess Luna sauntered into the room just as Weiss was in the middle of fixing her bed. 

"Good morning Luna." Weiss said softly, adjusting the two pillows. The Princess had convinced the former heiress into dropping her titles, at least whenever the two of them were alone. 

"Would you like to have dinn-uh-breakfast I mean, with my sister and I?" Luna was levitating a mug of steaming hot coffee with her magic, lifting up to her muzzle to take a long sip after she finished speaking. "I'll give you a tour of this wing of the castle, so you won't be confined to your room all day." 

That was polite of her. 

"That sounds lovely." Weiss smiled. Her oversized shirt and shorts looked ridiculous on her, and were certainly not for meetings with royalty. "I hope this request isn't too presumptuous, but would it be possible to have my dress repaired?" 

"Of course!" Luna levitated the coffee to her side. Her eyes looked tired, as if she had stayed awake the entire night. "I'll have one of the Royal Tailors handle it. You're smaller than a minotaur, but I'm sure that they'll be able to handle it." 

Perfect. Being in clothes that actually fit would help make her stay here bearable. 

"Now let's eat! I'm hungry." Luna's grin was infectious as she all but dragged Weiss out of the room, using her muzzle to push the huntress' back. 

Ruby would have loved her.

Luna was exhausted, having stayed up the entire night to handle court and to discuss her guest with Celestia. Weiss' dreams were vivid, and if they were accurate, was extremely skilled when it came to combat. Luna remained hidden of course, she didn't want to lose the humans trust.
