In Beacon Academy's courtyard at dusk, Skylar Frostydia, Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose are running up the main avenue towards the docking bays, expecting someone to land there.

Ruby: Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?

Weiss stops and smiles at the sight, with Sky crossing his arms with smug look on his face.

Weiss: Winter.

Sky: Been a while since I last saw her.

Sky, Ruby, and Weiss watched Winter Schnee, escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's, as she exits her airship.

Ruby: Wait... Your sister?

The young heiress pays her no mind as she then cups mouth to make her voice a bit louder for her sister to catch her attention.

Weiss: Winter!

Sky: And of course.... You just had to do that out of character.

The three then run up to the elder Schnee as she turns to see them.

Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you!

Sky corrects her character by elbowing her side, prompting her to formally curtsy.

Weiss: Oh... Your presence honors us.

Winter: Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.

Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.

Weiss, knowing her partner might have said the wrong thing, punches Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her sibling/

Weiss: So, what are you doing here?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Of course.

She nods and smiles in understanding, as Ruby looks pensively around in the silence.

Ruby: Well... this is nice... I think?

Ruby discreetly walks back to Sky, who is 2 meters behind the group, his head held up high in such a manner, and, with Ruby being a bit smaller than Sky, whispers up in his ear.

Ruby: Does she always act like this?

Sky:
You'll know in about a minute....

Weiss: You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-

Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.

Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!

Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter.

Weiss and Sky looked suddenly puzzled at the elder Schnee's words.

Weiss: But, we won!

Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed.

Sky: Oh, come now, Winter. You could at least praise her for winning that round. How about we lessen the tense to help you out, hmm?

Winter turns her head at Sky as he begins walking up to the group, who then turns to the robotic escorts of Winter as he adjust his glasses at them
