Vol. 6 Ep. 10 - Stealing from the Elderly

Daytime in Argus bathed the Atlesian Military Base in a bustling routine. Soldiers and guards diligently carried out their duties under the watchful eye of Caroline Cordovin, the stern military figure. Among the figures moving through the base was Weiss Schnee, flanked by Caroline herself and Saphron Cotta-Arc, who cradled her son Adrian. Angel Frostydia and the two Nubuck Guards trailed behind them, and Weiss seems to struggle with her large luggage of a case.

"Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee." Cordovin stated. "Many of us were devastated when we heard you and Mr. Skylar would be attending... Beacon Academy." she spoke with disdain, particularly on the word 'beacon'. "Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart."

"It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots." Weiss forced a smile, her grip tightening on the case

Thankfully, Cordovin hasn't caught on the heiress' act yet. "Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps."

Weiss managed an unenthusiastic smile. "Absolutely..."

"And I'm sure young Skylar would be delighted by your return. The poor lad must be feeling so lonely being cooped up on house arrest for a crime he did not commit."

Surprised that the scorn old woman would actually have pity on her dear friend, Weiss immediately stopped dead on her tracks.

"You think... Sky is innocent?" she asked.

"Why, of course, m'dear." Cordovin steadfastly scoffed, turning to face her. "The boy is just a child. There simply is no reason he would be capable enough to hijack all those droids on his own."

When Cordovin turns forward and continues, Angel couldn't help but roll her eyes at this, while Weiss fought to keep her expression neutral, both knowing full well how capable the young Frostydian prodigy is when it comes to anything technological.

With a gesture of her hand, the two guards following them behind stepped forward. Cordovin leaned in, a wicked glint in her eyes.

"I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part." With a sly wink, she strolled away, followed shortly by Angel.

"Allow me to assist you with your bag." One of the guards hups over to pick up Weiss' luggage, only to be surprised at its heavy weight. "My, what a heavy bag!"

Weiss, maintaning her grip on her luggage, reassured them, almost in a panicky tone. "That's alright!"

"Nonsense!" Nubuck Guard 1 insisted.

Nubuck Guard 2, not one to be outdone, joined in. "Allow me to assist as well!"

Weiss, now bordering on frustration, asserted, "I can take care of it by myself!"

As Cordovin and Angel walked away, the major overheard snippets of Weiss and the Nubuck Guards' conversation. Suspicion etched across her face; she halted in her tracks, while Angel just raised an eyebrow at them.

Saphron, catching onto the tension, exchanged a glance with Weiss. She then whispers to her adolescent child. "Just like we practiced."

Nodding at his mother, the baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cries" as he fusses in his mother's arms. Angel, winces at the loud sound, her sensitive hybrid ears ringing by the child's wailing.
