"Good, you're awake," my sister said as she entered the makeshift clinic. "How are you feeling?"

"Do I really have to answer that?" I asked flatly as she eyed my bandages.

I was pretty much covered in the things. My torso was wrapped completely to keep my shattered ribs from moving too much. My shoulder bandages seamlessly connected to them making it look like a ridiculous shirt with only one sleeve. With that same arm in a sling and my opposite knee wrapped up to my mid thigh, I was surprised she needed to ask.

"I suppose not," she answered after a moment. She sat down in the chair next to my cot, staying silent for several minutes until I had enough of it.

"Why are you here, Raven?"

"My brother's injured and you're asking why I'm here?" she asked simply. "You can't claim that it's odd because I've been doing it for the past week."

"You bring stuff to work on when you visit," I answered with a sigh. "Today your hands are empty. So why are you here? And no more games, I'm not in the mood."

"They had Summer's funeral today," she said after a moment. I blinked but otherwise didn't react. "It was a nice ceremony, at least from what I could see perched in the woods. Couldn't get too close, Taiyang might have noticed."

"When..." I tried to ask but my voice trailed off before the rest of the words exited my mouth.

"When did they find out? Probably a day or so after I delivered her body to Ozpin."

"Where was it?" I asked. Raven paused for a moment, looking like she was trying to find the best way to explain the location.

"Do you remember that cliff the four of us used to hang out at during school breaks? It was halfway between Beacon and Patch. We used to spend most of the day there, just talking, relaxing, and sometimes training."

"Tai liked to see how many times he could throw me off the cliff before I retaliated."

"Yeah, there."

"Will you take me?" I asked after a minute.

"When you can move on your own, yes. But right now, no," she answered. I nodded before turning to look out the window. "I just thought you'd want to know."
