(I don't know what the first part of this chapter is, I was just thinking about 8th-grade health class, and Qrow's bad habits, and this just kinda assembled itself... Realistically I couldn't care less if people smoke, hell, if it was banned we'd probably have another prohibition type problem.)

(Vanilla's perspective.) (First part.)

Qrow was outside having a cigar when I decided I would break his bad habit, recently we had a couple complaints about the outside of the shop smelling like smoke.

I headed outside and went to talk to Qrow about it.

"Vanilla... It took you Ten. Years. to even bring it up." He replied.

"I know lung cancer won't kill you, but we could do without you coughing up your lungs," I said.

"You're plenty smart enough, you could custom make some kind of alternative with that genius brain of yours. I'll even get the materials if you want." I added.

"Hmm... I suppose I could..." He mumbled.

He put out his cigar then pulled out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down several things and handed it to me. The list included all the materials he would need and where I could get them.

I went through the stores on the list and gathered all the materials and brought them to Qrow, who was now sitting in the living room.

"Thank you very much," He said, taking the bag and petting me.

"You're welcome," I purred.

(Qrow's perspective.)

I laid out all the materials and pulled out a silver flask and an engraving tool, as well as a can of black and yellow spray paint. I painted the flask yellow, then engraved a biohazard symbol, and my signature in it and covered all the yellow parts around it with paint tape, then painted it black. I removed the tape and set the flask off to the side.

I began working with the parts and within a few minutes, I had something resembling an E-cig. It was a glossy black with a fake gem made of cut glass in the end, which, with the assistance of a purple LED, glowed neon purple. In terms of function, however, it was more like a vaporizer.(Vape.) (Yes, there is a difference, just google it,)

I grabbed a bottle of purified water and made some homemade vanilla flavoring, then mixed it with the purified water and put it in the flask.

Vanilla checked on what I was doing and I puffed the vapor into my hand.

"It smells like vanilla," She said.

I grinned.

"And it has fewer chemicals in it than perfume," I replied.

"You should make one for Royal too, make it coconut scented," Vanilla said, a grin spreading across her face.

I chuckled.

"Sure, that sounds rather amusing," I replied.

I assembled a more normal looking one for Royal and tossed it to him, alongside a flask similar to mine.

"...Don't these have a tendency to explode?" He asked.

"The lithium battery does, yes, but this one is powered using magic," I replied.

"Hm," Royal muttered.

Coconut wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Sounds good," Royal said.

(Second part.)

(Vanilla's perspective.)

A few hours later, after returning home from a grocery shopping trip I saw Royal, Ox, and Qrow having a fistfight in the living room, shouting. Royal and Ox tackled Qrow to the ground and snatched something from around his neck. It was a small silver pendant with a skull on it. Royal tossed it to me. I flipped it over. It had the letters D.V. stamped in it. It was a pendant worn by members of the infamous and terrifying psychopathic assassins guild; Demonic Vanguard. (Guild name is subject to change if I find a better one.)
