RWBY: The Son of Salem: Volume 1-3

Chapter Twenty-Three: Revolution Part Two

"That hit the spot." Yang said contently. "So, what next?"

"Well, we have about two hours before the singles matches this evening." Silver replied. "So, we could hit the fairgrounds and play some of their games."

"Seeing as Silver is now the holder of all our money, he's going to be paying." Weiss added.

"Excuse me, I did not agree to that." Silver stated.

"But-" Ruby began.

"Hey!" A voice called out getting Team RWBY'S attention. "You're Weiss Schnee, right? The heiress."

"Looks like you either got a fan or a hater, Ice Queen." Silver said.

"I am." Weiss replied, ignoring the fact that Silver used her nickname.

"I take it you're pretty good with Dust, then." Flynt said.

"I do my best." Weiss replied with a shrug.

"Yeah! My dad was good, too." Flynt said. "Owned a little Dust shop of his own..."

Silver noted that Flynt's voice was gaining a sharp edge to it, and stood at the ready.

"'Til your father's company ran him outta business." Flynt stated angrily.

"Oh." Weiss said, sounding rather subdued. "I'm sorry to hear that..."

"Sure you are!" Flynt spat out.

"What's the saying? Never judge a book by its cover." Silver said. "You judge my teammate because she's Weiss Schnee the heiress. But you don't know her as her own person."

"Silver..." Weiss muttered.

"And, you are..?" Flynt asked.

"Silver Rose. A Faunus." Silver replied.

"You're a Faunus and you're defendin' a Schnee!?" Flynt asked incredulously.

"I'm defending my friend." Silver said coldly. "If you wanna be angry at someone, be angry at Jacques Schnee."

"Sorry, but you don't look like a Faunus." Neon said. "But I love that outfit. I think it would look better if you ditched that dingy looking coat, though."

"Not a chance in hell." Silver replied. "This coat belonged to Balthazar Moros."

"Balthazar?" Blake asked, recognizing the name.

"Who's that?" Yang asked.

"Someone I couldn't save." Silver replied mournfully. "We'll talk about that some other time, when we don't have nosy visitors."

"Weiss, are you okay?" Ruby asked.

"Weiss, are you okay?" Neon repeated mockingly, throwing Ruby off a bit. "That's what you sound like."

"Seriously?" Silver asked. "What are you, five?"

"Seriously? What are you, five?" Neon repeated in the same mocking tone.

Silver's eyes narrowed at the Cat Faunus, looking very unimpressed by her antics.

"Yeah, not dignifying that." He said to himself. "Look, is there a particular reason you're bothering us, because if there isn't a better reason other than you picking a fight with Weiss, I suggest you both fuck off."

"Silver, it's fine." Weiss stated. "Besides, I have something to prove to Flynt. Ruby? Would you join me?"

Ruby was surprised at first, but gave Weiss a small smile and nodded before walking over to Weiss and stood beside her. Silver just sighed, and with a tilt of his head, gestured the group to follow him out of the fairgrounds. After about a minute of walking, the group found themselves in a clearing surrounded by trees and bushes.
