They stared at the floating man similar to Jinn.

Apollo was the first to speak, "...is it just me or–"

"Finish that sentence and I will scalp you."

"What– WE WERE ALL THINKING IT!"

"I'M GAY!"

"HOW MANY QUEERS ARE THERE HERE?!"

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!!"

"Sorry Thea..."

"Sorry Clipsa..."

"You're a fun group." Ambrosius grinned. His eyes grazed over the group until he landed on Oscar. "Woah, Ozma, you're back again!"

Oscar's eyes glowed for the first time in around a month as Ozpin took control.

"Ambrosius, a pleasure to see you again."

"Pleasure's all mine. So!" He clapped his hands together. "What do you all need?"

"Answers but we need to save those for these two." Yang said, jabbing her thumb in Ozpin and Eclipse's direction. "Who are you?"

"Like I said, I am Ambrosius, duh." he scoffed. "And it seems someone has come to engage my creative wiles! All I'll say is it had better be worth it after my last project."

He crossed his arms, his disdain evident. Apollo grinned and Whitley slapped his arm.

"What?"

"Stay focused will you?"

"A floating city?" Ambrosius scoffed again. "How pedestrian."

"Well you and Apollo should get along swell." Eclipse commented and Esteban nodded. "Don't act like you don't act the same way Essie."

"I do not!"

"You so do!"

"...fine but only when you ask me to write stupid shit! Like last year, remember that pollo?"

"We don't talk about that."

"Right."

Ambrosius watched the siblings interact with the interest of a man watching his favorite sport. Then, it seemed, he noticed something particularly interesting about Eclipse.

He floated up to her and the others backed up as he began circling her.

"If you wanted to see my ass you could just ask me to give you a little twirl."

"Thea!"

"Weiss!"

"No, definitely not that, you humans don't interest me. But you..." he looked her up and down. "You don't seem to be entirely human at all."

"Eclipse." Ruby looked at her and she shrugged.

"Erebus hasn't come around in a while. I don't know what about me isn't human. Like powers of a god, yeah, that's probably the inhuman part–"

"No, no, no, not that." Ambrosius shook his head. "The Grimm. May I see your arms?"

Eclipse paused and stepped back from him. "Hell no."

"Eclipse?"

"By the way, why do they call you that? It sounds like an edgy username."

"Come on, take the gloves off." he seemed to be getting agitated. "I'm a spirit, I've seen a lot."

"Ima be real papi–"

"Oh and I'm the one who needs to stay focused?"

"Yes."
