Stele (A RWBY story)

A Cold Day (Final Part)

I don't see today having any potential of recovering. On the way to the diner Weiss said that she didn't want to stay there to eat.

Stele: "What do you mean you don't want to stay here!?"

We were outside of the diner now.

Weiss: "I don't see what the problem is. You said all you wanted was to check up with Ash, and that we could go somewhere else instead!"

Stele: "Except you are the only one that chooses not to stay here! Why do you choose to be special from the rest? Is it just because you are a Schnee? Need to be better? Can't have what a Faunus enjoys?"

She turned away from me and took a few steps. She was mad, I could see it from her clenching fists. My attention was to something else though, Blaire had just walked outside to us.

Blaire: "Stele? What's with all the yelling? Is everything alright?"

Stele: "Is anything ever alright if a Schnee is involved?"

Blaire: "A Schnee?"

She looked at Weiss who still had her back turned to us.

Blaire: "Oh! You must be his last teammate. I didn't know you were teammates with Wiess Schnee."

Weiss had turned back towards me. She was scowling at me as she made her way closer to me, ending up in front of me.

Weiss: "You wanna know why I said to not stay here? The girls have said they liked it here but with how your semblance has been going you would destroy it!"

Blaire had a worry look as she took a step towards me.

Blaire: "Stele? Are you not feeling good still? Do you need Bella's help again?"

Stele: "I am fine! I don't need anyone's help. I just need today to be over with!"

She recoiled away, but quickly settled down. I could see their weak point making it my turn to turn away to settle down. If just this was riling me up like this, it would only get worse when we actually talk.

Stele: "Alright, Blaire. Since we aren't staying here, how is Ash doing?"

Blaire: "First, I would like to believe that just like the other night, you have a reason for how you are. As for Ash, she said she was feeling better and went down to the forge."

Hearing that Ash was well enough to go to the forge made me feel better. Though I know it would only be a very temporary feeling.

Stele: "Alright Schnee. Just...just Lead the way to where ever you have planned for us."

I waited until I could hear her start walking away to follow. She led us away from the main hub of locations, and to a more secluded yet still populated location, although sparsely.

We stopped at what seemed like an outdoor Cafe, Snowasis. Of course she would want to come to somewhere like this. A real fancy location she wanted; stone pillars tiled floors, fancy cups a top of metal tables.

Weiss: "We left the diner for more than just not wanting you to destroy that diner."

We sat down at a table as she took out her scroll and started messing with it.

Stele: "Hurry up and tell me what kind of bullshit they told you about me or are you going to just play with your scroll?"

She took a deep breath before continuing.

Weiss: "Sorry, I just thought that I would order something for us. Hopefully try and..."

She looked away for a moment and sniffled.
