On the way back to the hidden passageway, they heard more conversations about Dyle killing his crewmates and fleeing. There was also a mention of Teresa handling the situation and how daemons are nothing but monsters.

There was also a conversation between a meeting of a group of kids strategizing about a snowball fight. Rokurou thought it was a little to be this serious about a snowball fight but Velvet made a joke about it which surprised Ruby a bit. She didn't think the other daemon girl had a sense of humor under the facade.

They returned to the docks and went for a little more information from a sailor working on the ropes of the ship. After that, they returned to the storehouse where the tunnel was. The group entered back into the tunnel and exited quickly to the path. They took a quick shortcut back the front entrance of the town where there were several people carrying merchandise with the exorcists inspecting them.

After moving a little further away from the front entrance, the three of them were in a more open area with several daemon orcs wandering about. The view of the area caught Rokurou's interest.

"Nothing but ice and snow as far as the eye can see." The male pointed out.

"Are you cold?" Velvet asked.

The Huntresses was wondering the same thing but the look on Rokurou's face said otherwise, "I'm fine, but I'm not the one with the exposed midriff."

He brought up a good point and Weiss was a little curious about Velvet's...attire. "How can she put up wearing something like that? It leaves little to the imagination if you ask me." Weiss said to Ruby, who shrugged.

"She found pieces of clothes and armor from the storage room, I think it was a pretty smart move she did." Ruby explained. "She does remind me of Yang a bit."

"Good point." Weiss agreed, knowing who the silver eyed girl mentioned.

To Velvet, she didn't think much of it. "Doesn't bother me...and watch where you let your eyes wander!" Velvet growled with a glare.

Rokurou held up one hand at the daemon girl. "Hey there, sorry. I meant no offense." Rokurou defend himself. "At least Ice Queen wears appropriate attire." Ruby begins to laugh at the nickname while Weiss got irritated.

"Why does everyone I meet call me 'Ice Queen'? I know I wasn't the best person in the beginning but come on!" Weiss exclaimed really tired of the nickname.

"You didn't mind Nora calling you that back home." Ruby pointed out and the white haired woman glared at her.

"That was because we talked about what happened when we got separated after Beacon fell." Weiss explained a bit sad. "To be honest, I actually kind of liked being called that again back home."

"Let's us do our best here so that we can go home, as Team RWBY again. Okay?" Ruby said with happy energy and a smile.

Weiss smiled as well, being reminded of happy times. The daemons eavesdropped on their conversation but didn't understand anything of what they talked about and could only assume that they shouldn't get involved.

As they kept going straight no surprise they would encounter more creatures along the way. They were the same ones when they were traveling to get to Hellawes.

Eagle, stag beetle and a new addition. A daemon type known as an Orc. The group have run in with a few of these creatures. So the four engaged in battle knowing this fight will be one of many to come in the long road. But the experience wasn't bad, always good to sharpen their skills and the results of their training. Also, they were finally able to see Rokurou in action. As soon as they got into the first fight, the daemon swordsman unleashed his two short swords.
