I sighed as I reread the letter. I didn't particularly like how it turned out but I couldn't find anything bad enough that it was worth rewriting the entire thing. So, even though it was too short and lacked so many details that it hardly made sense, it would have to do.
After ripping the page out of the notebook I folded it up a few times so that it would be able to fit inside an envelope. I then collected Ozpin's notebook and pen before heading back towards his office.
I entered the room, ignoring the lull in conversation this time as I headed straight towards Ozpin's desk. I dropped his notebook and pen in front of him before pointing the folded letter an inch away from his nose.
"You're going to deliver this, right? And soon?" I demanded to know.
"Of course. I was planning to head over there myself this weekend," Ozpin replied simply.
"That's almost a week away."
"Unfortunately I don't have any free time until then. I do run a school after all."
I frowned at him for a while before General Ironwood cleared his throat, getting both of our attention.
"I'm heading in that direction tomorrow. I could drop it off."
"Why would you do that?" I asked skeptically. "You don't exactly like me."
"True, but I know from experience that an upset maiden is a dangerous maiden." He raised an eyebrow when I didn't automatically hand over the letter. "Your letter will be safe in my hands, I promise."
I went to hand the letter over, but didn't let go even once he had his fingers on it.
"If this letter doesn't make it to her, I swear I will do everything in my power to get you removed from your post. By the time I'm done you'll be a disgrace in the eyes of the military, and even your own son won't want anything to do with you. Is that clear?"
"Crystal," he replied. I held onto the letter for only a moment longer before releasing it into his custody.
Spinning on my heels, I heading back towards the door.
"I'm leaving," I said as I waved at them over my shoulders. "Don't have too much fun while I'm gone."
