Weiss Schnee x Male reader: Mending a Cold Heart

Escape

Weiss POV

I took a deep breath and opened the door outside of my room, I had a white suitcase and my rapier on me. I looked around cautiously, making sure Whitney and my father wasn't around as I steeped out into the hallway. As I turned around, Klein was there, causing me to jump back. He shushed me by putting his finger to his lips before taking in a hushed tone.

Klein: Let's go.

We began walking through the hall and got to the staircase, which we walked down. As we continued through, Klein's scroll started buzzing.

Klein: Master Whitley! I... um... yes, of course. I'll be just a moment.

He puts his scroll away.

Klein: Klein: Head to the first floor library. I'll meet you there.

As we parted ways, I stopped in front of father's study as I heard him and General Ironwood talking.

Ironwood: You need to control yourself!

Jacques: You're talking to me about control? Do you even hear what you're saying?

Ironwood: I am basing everything on my reports from your daughter.

Jacques: A daughter you stole!

I leaned in to listen in on what they were saying.

Ironwood: Oh, we are not getting into that again.

Jacques: Oh, yes, we have far more pressing matters to discuss, starting with your apparent lunacy!

Ironwood: Jacques!

A heavy sigh escaped Ironwood's lips.

Ironwood: Winter is one of my best. If she's telling me there's a threat in Mistral then I am not going to take that news lightly. She's been there for weeks, people are mobilizing, sudden spikes in weapons and Dust trades. Someone is about to make a play and I do not trust Leo to stop them.

Jacques: You've never trusted anyone other than yourself!

Ironwood: And for good reason!

I was shocked by Ironwood's outburst as I heard him slam his fist.

Ironwood: If Oz had just listened to me from the start...

Jacques: You need to get a grip.

Ironwood: That's exactly what I'm doing. Our people need protection. By this time next week, the Kingdom of Atlas will be officially closing its borders. No one in; no one out. Without the council's permission.

Jacques: You mean, without your permission?

Ironwood: And if that becomes the case, I would think you'd want to be on my good side.

I heard Ironwood approach the door. Thinking quickly, I summoned a black glyph to keep him from opening the door.

Ironwood: It's locked.

Jacques: What are you talking about?

As ironwood rams into the door, I turned around and ran through the hall.

I reached tue library. When I looked through, I didn't see anyone there.

Weiss: Klein! Klein, where are you?

A hidden door opened, revealing himself.

Klein: Keep your voice down, I told you I'd be here.

His eyes were red and was talking in an accent. I dropped my sword and suitcase to hug him. He returned it as his eyes went back to normal.
