Rwby: Child of Grimm: Volume 3 (complete)

Chapter 6: New Look

[Ruby] "what? Why's everyone looking at me funny? Is there something on my face?"
[Jaune] "n-no..."
[Ruby] "uhhh ok. Can I get into my room? I'm kinda tired."

At Ruby's insistence, everyone begins scrambling for a reason to keep her out. Pyrrha asking if she wanted to join her for sparring practice, Nora asking if she wanted lunch, Blake with her books, but nothing they can come up with can deter her. Quite the opposite in fact, she has become incredibly curious about what's inside the room.

[Ruby] "what's going on?"
[Zwei] "woof!"

Her friends all sigh in unison before parting and letting her inside the room.

[Ruby] "ah!"

A chorus of gulps collectively harmonise.

[Ruby] "this is... Ryu's gear..."
[Everyone] "huh?"

As everyone turns their attention back inside the room, Yang and Sol are nowhere to be seen, the window is wide open and Ryu's belongings, including the clothing Sol was wearing that had become torn from his previous battle and his sword, Dragons fang, are lying in a neat pile under the window. Walking over to them, Ruby takes ahold of the sword, looking over the battle worn blade.

[Ruby] "is this what you guys were hiding?"

Everyone shares glances with each other as they decide upon the story they will agree on.

[Pyrrha] "y-yes."
[Ruby] "I thought that guy had these didn't he?"
[Blake] "he dropped them off yesterday. He said they were better off with you."
[Ruby] "oh..okay. Hey guys, I think I'm gonna go down to the city and get this fixed up. I'll see everyone at dinner."

With that, Ruby places the sword at her hip before heading out the door, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded students.

[Nora] "well, this should be fun~!"

-

[Sol] "remind me why I'm walking through the streets in my underwear?"
[Yang] "ehehe, don't worry about it."

While they walk through the streets, the Blonde huntress and her bandaged, half naked companion are continuing to steal everyone's attention.

[Yang] "soooo, anywhere you wanna go?"

Sol ponders the thought for a moment while taking in the gazes of those around him.

[Sol] "there's a place nearby that sells clothes."
[Yang] "damn..."
[Sol] "what?"
[Yang] "n-nothing, haha.."

Although the words she muttered went unheard, her attempt to brush off whatever she had just said did not go unnoticed by Sol.

[Sol] "we're here."

The two arrive at the place once recommended to Ryu when he was in need of a suit. Opening the door, the sound of a small bell chiming rings through the store, alerting any staff that happen to be there.

[Yang] "wow~ fancy place."

Manikins wearing a variety of expertly made clothing lined the store along with comfortable looking seats, neatly packed clothing on the shelves and mirrors along many of the walls.

[Sol] "hm?"

Sol's attention is drawn towards a white, sleeveless, collared shirt with red accents, lined with black material on the inside.

[???] "caught your eyes, has it?"
[Sol] "ah- yeah."

Turning to face the eloquent male voice behind him, Sol's eyes meet with the well-groomed tailor that helped Ryu before the dance by supplying him with a new suit.
