Stele (A RWBY story)

Cold Dinner (Part 2)

Momentary silence is something I'll take whenever it comes.

Weiss: "Now I guess first thing you want to do is go get your gun?"

Of course something nice like that never lasts long for me.

Stele: "Yes. It's the last thing of mine that is missing. After we go and get it, then you can do whatever it is that you had planned."

Weiss: "We, can do it. This is all for you remember? To show my gratitude for the island."

Yeah yeah...gratitude she says. I only did everything because I was forced to. But I am supposed to not cause trouble so I can't exactly say that.

There were a lot more people in Vale now. Everywhere I looked were people moving between the endless stalls.

Stele: "Why are there so many people now? It's annoying and makes it hard to get to where we need to."

I led the way towards where we needed to go, pushing people out of the way so we could move, well at least I tried to.

Weiss: "Lighten up Stele, they are getting ready for the Vytal Festival."

Stele: "Vytal Festival?"

Weiss: "Yes! You know, in celebration of peace after the great War? Happens every other year?"

Stele: "I know of the war and I've heard the name of this festival. I just didn't expect so many people to show up or care about it."

Weiss: "The Vytal Festival is always crowded like this though. One of the only times others could go to another kingdom, and this is only the beginning of the crowds."

I already hard to force a way through so many people, and this is the beginning?

Stele: "You mean there will be even more people? I don't like there being so many people; too many variables to be wary about."

Weiss: "When will you stop thinking like that? No one is going to come and get you. Have you never been to a Vytal Festival?"

Stele: "My bad, I guess I really should've put it at made time be-!"

I stopped myself mid sentence. I can't be getting mad over something like this. I need to be getting along with the team, which includes her. Even if I find it a dumb question to ask, I have to remember that they don't know everything about me.

Stele: "No Schnee. I have never gone to a Festival. In fact, just think of everything as my first time."

I had to stop as she suddenly grabbed and pulled on my hand. Though I only let it happen for a moment before pulling away.

Stele: "Why the hell are you stopping? We have places to go."

Weiss: "The Blacksmith  isn't going anywhere. Ash could could only improve upon your gun with time. The Vytal Festival, though not even remotely ready, will eventually be leaving. So why don't we enjoy it for now?"

I now stopped as the crowed started pushing past us. The thought of just us two checking everything out wasn't my favorite idea, but I did agree to redo our day together. I just didn't expect us having to do something like this.

Stele: "Fine. At least Schnee money is being put to something somewhat useful."

Weiss: "Great! Now...uh...could you continue getting us through this crowd and to a stall?"

I sighed and shook my head in annoyance, we had stopped in the middle of everyone for no reason if I still had to lead to a random stall. Though, I still found it strangely comforting. Not because I was helping Weiss through the crowd, but because to some extent I now know how the others feel when they did this for me. I found the way to a stall, though It was one that I didn't find the appeal of.
