She was wearing something much more different than the attire she wore when she met them. It seemed more agile than bulky, which was slightly unexpected because she seemed more reliant on streagth than agility. She adjusted her gaunlets as she came down the stairwell.

" Alright, let's see how far you'll take me." She said with a smile. " No need to understand, as long as I understand it myself."

" Whatever you say, man." Yang said with a shrug.

" Remind me why she's coming along." Qrow asked Ruby. " Stop. Don't answer that." He took another swig from his flask. " Forget I asked."

" Qrow, don't be rude to my baby." He almost chocked on his own alcohol as Summer spoke, almost forgetting that she was there. " Don't forget that I'm here, Branwen." She said after laughing at him.

" Sorry, um, Miss Rose?" Veena interrupted politely. " I gotta get blind." Summer nodded and smiled at Ruby before she was invisible once more. " I'm sorry but I prefer to blind at the moment. Hope you don't mind."

" Sure, just don't lag behind." Weiss said in a haughty tone. " We're already behind schedule. The others are probably waiting for us in Argus."

Veena only nodded to this as they started walking through the snow. It's less cold today, that's good. Keeps her senses sharp. With all the time she spent being blind in these areas, she was bound to pick up something in her way. Her mind and body had been adaptong well with the conditions she put herself in. With a group in mind, plus heading to new land, some more adapting is required to keep up. Without needing to be warned she ducked a low branch before anyone said anything. It surprised them but it didnt make them less concered than they were. Oscar tapped her shoulder and took a moment to speak. She lifted her binds for a moment to see him.

" I think you'll need this more." He said handing her his cane. " I don't really like holding on to it anymore." She looked at him for a moment and smiled.

" Thanks, but I'm good." She said kindly as she returned it to him. " That old man has lost enough. Despite what you think, you're still you. Don't lose sight of that Oscar." She said smiling softly. " Besides, I already have someone helping me." She said as the dark figure stuck out its tounge with the fox lady next to it, smiling cheerfully. She binded her eyes and went on. She was well equipped, that was the word.

" You travel much kid?" Qrow asked, looking at how relaxed and well prepared she was. " Cause it looks like you've been to places."

" You can say that. Don't pretend you don't know, I doubt my brother left out that I got kidnapped by bandits when I was 13. Long story short, I got out, a friend helped, didn't feel like going home and started wandering. End of story. I know that I am keeping things from you but I'll...tell you some other time. Once I've, collected my memories, that is. Can't be deciding things without knowing who I was."

" Is that why you agreed to come along?" Weiss asked.

" Actually, Yang blew a hole in one of the rooms. I'm not cleaning up that mess." Yang coughed.

" Yang! You blew a hole in the house?" Ruby crossed her arms. Veena thought it was cute, the little rose grumbling is adorable.

" Besides that," She interrupted to avoid a scolding. " Didn't you say you only got dreams and your memories back when we came along?"

" Yes, I haven't felt anything like that before. It was weird and a bit creepy." Oscar nodded, well he can relate when you share old memories. " But knowing that it's all, still me...I guess it's like getting to know yourself in another point of view. It's nice to find myself a place in the world." Qrow glanced at her for a moment and smiled to himself as he took another swig.

" Oh, I noticed that your personality kind of changes from time to time. Like when you put three people to sleep or while you were sleepwalking, care to explain?" Blake asked, she reminded of different kinds of characters in a story.

" Well, I suppose it could be because I was receiving memories from a past life. I guess I would be adjusting my personality to the memories. Funny, they're all 'me' but maybe it was how we- or I, was raised at the time? I'm not sure but that's the most logical one I can think of." She said with a shrug, it did felt a bit strange and she can't help but notice some changes in her soul's appearance. Some.

" Uh, mind if I ask a question?" Veena nodded and smiled at Oscar. " You're a bit like Ozpin, right? So, do you have magic powers?"
