(RWBY) castles that tower above the horizon

chapter LXII: Ruby duty

"So they found the drug refuge in his... urine?"

...

"Continue" I motioned after a long awkward silence

"... is she ok?" He asked motioning to the child drooling all over my shoulder.

"Oh, yeah Ruby's fine. She just used likes ear scratches" I smiled, as the little wolf hummed happily her tail swishing slightly as I held her on my hip with my hand itching the back of her fluffy sock covered ears "carry on"

"Anyway, by default Team RWBY wins the match under  the fact that team MAST drugged their wolf faunus because he didn't perform adequately in battle, the confessed to it after we detained him" the officer read off from his scroll " Trent Dewey will be returned to Vacuo with no consequences, the additional members of Team MAST will have to pay a fine aswell as formally apologised to team RWBY"

"Alright, I think the only real victim is little Rose here" I sighed rubbing the pup's cheek "she got over it with minimal consequences, please tell Trent that she's alright"

"What did he even do? The details of the battle weren't expressed" the officer asked

"That's because that information is classified. Yeah you've gotta be a level five hunter or higher to know that so... I can't tell you " I sighed feeling Ruby's little bandaged hand grip onto my shirt "but I can tell you that this little cutie is doped up on painkillers, which is why she refuses to let go"

"Well she is cute I can give you that, and I can also see why you brought her to talk to a police officer about drugs"

"Her mother is shouting at team MAST, her girlfriend is talking to the headmaster, her sister is with her own girlfriend and her teammate is... with her girlfriend. Surface to say that this is the best option"

"Couldn't you have just left her at her dorm? Or maybe at your house, you are a teacher and you are her mother"

"Word from the wise, do not leave a wolf faunus in a closed room when they are drunk on painkillers, the last time that happened there was a sculpture of a lamppost in our foyer made of butter when I came home"

"How much butter do you have!?"

"My wife loves to bake, and our children love to eat her baking"

"I'm guessing it's good then?"

"You have no idea, the cookies she makes are to die for, they are so sweet they practically melt in your mouth, yet they are strangely crunchy but it's just enough to give it a amazing texture"

"Cookies?" Ruby then perked up her tail wagging happily as I sighed, kissing her forehead making her giggle.

"No baby, no cookies" I muttered into her ear "but in a little bit we can go see mummy and maybe she'll give you cookies"

"Ok" Ruby mumbled, resting her head on my drool soaked shoulder, closing her eyes as I stroked though her hair.

"Theres a good girl" i smiled feeling her go limp and signalling the beginning of her fith nap today "ok sleepy time pup, you do what you want to do. She's very loopy"

"I can guess" the officer smirked as Ruby whent back to her drooling.

"Yup, now I'm going to get this one to bed, she's deserved the rest" I smiled happy with the report and then practically marched back home.

"I knew you would be here" Summer smiled slipping through the door of Ruby's bedroom. "You look cute with glasses~" the old wolf cooed as I quickly swiped off my glasses and put down my book.
