Stele (A RWBY story)

Cold Dinner (Part 1)

I was able to check out of the hospital the day after I woke up. I was given a bag which contained only my clothes. Though they were all torn up with the island with even a few twigs and leaves. I wasn't alone right now though, as Weiss had decided to show up when I was leaving. She did have something in hand though.

Weiss: "Here. Coco made you some new clothes. I didn't even know she made your other ones."

Stele: "Yeah she was kind enough to make my clothes. I didn't even ask her to."

I stepped into an empty room to change as she waited. The outfit seemed to be the same as the last one, only difference was that our my emblem was etched into it.

Weiss: "I don't know if you found it yet, but I showed her a picture of your emblem and asked if she could-"

She stopped as I walked out dressed.

Stele: "Yeah I noticed. Why were you even with her? She is a year above you and I don't see a reason for you two together."

Weiss: "She's also a year above you, yet you go to her."

Stele: "That doesn't answer the question. And where is the rest of my stuff?"

I expected my forge, pistol, glove and tusks to be here but no one gave me them.

Weiss: "Ms. Goodwitch has your stuff at Ozpin's office. They are holding it and will hand it over after our meeting about the island."

We were walking out of the hospital now. I didn't know this part of Vale, so I could only follow Weiss to the train back to Beacon.

Stele: "You mean they are holding my stuff hostage so that I have to go to them. I'm familiar with situations like this. Is this also why you came to the hospital?"

Weiss: "I am not here just to play messenger! If they wanted someone for that, then Ruby would have been the better choice. I came because Coco had finished making your new clothes after I told them what happened on the island!"

We were barely boarding the train and already arguing. I don't know why I agreed to spend another day with her, then dinner with the rest of them tonight? At least I was surrounded by metal again, the only thing I really need nowadays. Soon I will also get back Forge, and I will even work with Ash at the actual forge again soon enough.

The train ride was much like our first one together. Very little talking, a bad mood, and sitting at opposite ends. Same sights out the window that I have gotten used to by now. Same metal around me that I will always be thankful to feel. Same students that walk around the campus without a care in the world...

Stele: "I hate it."

Weiss: "Excuse me?"

We were stepping off the train now and started towards Ozpin's office.

Stele: "You heard me. I hate this. Why does my stuff get held back? They are making me go to them as if I was the cause for this."

Weiss: "They know you aren't at fault here Stele. And you aren't the only one they have called to talk with. You are probably the only one that they would have to do this with."

Passing by the amphitheater now, the sound of weights and clashing of weapons could be heard. It seems like Pyrrha and Nora are going about their day like normal, and even Jaune was in their this time. He was one of the last people I expected to be in their, then again even Weiss followed me in their when we trained.

Jaune: "Tell me Pyrrha. Was I useless on the island?"

Pyrrha: "No jaune! What makes you think that?"

Jaune: "It's just that...Stele came and practically did everything. He delt with everything, he-"
