So What? (RWBY)

Moving!

That conversation with Fuchsia was... Something. She has a lot I don't know about her, but there's still some dots I can definitely connect based on intuition. It feels like I know more, but the more I do know the more questions I have. How did she die, how long did she survive in the army, and what was her main weapon of choice? She seems good with everything that she gets her hands on but I'm sure she had a choice weapon when she was actually alive... She's listening to these thoughts most likely, but I'm not sure if she'll come out and answer them. After all, making me look like I'm having an argument with my head while I'm sitting in the cafeteria eating is not exactly the best way to keep my semblance a secret, even if I'm already not the best at that.

"Grayyyyyyyyyy!" I hear a young, enthusiastic voice yell at me. I can't deal with this type of energy right now.

"What's up Ruby and... Why are there 10 of you people around? I can barely handle just team RWBY alone and now there's team... Uh... The team Pyrrha's on, Sun, and Saturn." Yeah... I didn't get great sleep last night, and it's definitely apparent in my irritation. Today I mostly just wanted to spend to myself before getting back to classes, but some people don't look at resting bitch face as that.

"It's Neptune, what made you think I was Saturn?" "You aren't that remarkable and I just remembered a planet." I mumble out dryly, makes sense why Fuchsia does this, it's easy to get people to ignore you when you're being an ass.

"Hey I'll have you know that-" "Anywayyyyy... We were all going out today and were wondering if you wanted to join us?" Ruby smiles innocently at me, as if giving me an option but it was more an illusion. If I said no I'd eventually be talked into hanging out anyway, so I suppose it's fine for now. 

"Fine, what are we doing?" With a sheepish look on her face, Weiss is actually the one to step up and say something. 

"Well, there was this place holding dance lessons nearby and Ruby seemed interested. Plus with the school dance coming up it would be a good way to remind everyone who was the best team around, so we decided to sign up for dance lessons... And we're really glad you agreed because Ruby already signed you up." Weiss had a really good way of making the most fun things sound like a lecture... Although I'm really not much of a dancer. Neptune seemed nervous himself, though he did inform that he was more just there to be with the gang then to actually do any dancing. He claimed he was already too good and it would embarrass everyone else or whatever, pride this or something.

"Hey Fuchsia, you do any dancing?" "I was a young girl in an age where classical music was popular and internet wasn't invented, what else would I do?" She said matter-of-factly. "And yes, I would be more than happy to dance for you Gray, I'm sure your dancing skills are beyond sup par, and you wouldn't want to embarrass yourself in front of that faunus you like so much right" I roll my eyes at her teasing, as annoying as she was, I'll admit she's fun to have around sometimes, plus she lets my own social batteries rest.

Eventually we make it to the place to practice dancing, it was honestly not the most interesting of decor but it was something I suppose. 

"Well... Let's have some fun now shall we?" I say quietly and quickly, not wanting anyone to hear my mumblings, after all, it'd be quite a trouble if people knew I was using my semblance for such menial tasks. "Hey Fuchsia, since we aren't battling, how much of my aura does this take up and how long can you keep this form with me?" 

"As long as I don't overexert myself, it should take about 3 hours for it to fully deplete, afterwards you'd have about another 2 hours before it'd become fatal for you to use me." Wow, a straight answer from her, thought being cryptic was her whole thing.

"Why can I still use you after running out of aura, but I can't activate you?"

"You know how when you're in the process of eating, you don't usually feel full until after the fact so you can eat over and over again until it all hits you at once, and then it's really hard to continue eating after that because you are full? It's like that, you're able to still use me because you're already in the process of using me. It just takes more out of you." I guess when it benefits her, she can actually be really helpful.
