"ah, the vytal festival, the best time to be in vale" Weiss said. "Weiss, it's weird to see you smiling so much, it's kinda freaky" Yang said. "how can one not be happy. there's so much planning going on" Weiss said. "Not to mention the food" I said as my mouth watered. "Please don't get us kicked out of another restraunt" Yang pleaded. "Ruby got you guys kicked out before" Blake asked. "Yeah, the bill came out at almost 200 lien (assuming 1 lien is roughly 1 dollar), most of it was from her" Yang said. "I would have thought you were the one to eat the most" Weiss said. "What, they had really good steak" I retorted.

"what happened here" Yang asked, pointing at a destroyed shop. "looks like it was robbed" I replied with an unamused look. "so, you thinking, uh... white fang" one of the police asked his colleague. "I'm thinking we don't get paid enough (still love this line)" the other responded. "Ugh, The White Fang, what a group of scum" Weiss said. "IF they only went after those who wronged them, I'd find their actions... somewhat honorable" I said. "The thoughts of a single girl doesn't change the fact that all faunas know to do is lie, steal, and kill" Weiss retorted. "And humans can do so much worse. If people like your father didn't exist, then the faunus would have no reason to do what they feel is necessary to get their rights back" I retorted, "every 'villain' has their reasons, some less honorable than others, but they have a reason none the less".

(In the dorms)

(yeah, I'm skipping through bit of the actual episode, but who cares)

"why do you keep trying to defend the faunus and the white fang" Weiss demanded. "do you REALLY, want to know" I asked. "you're defending murderers, and I for one find that unacceptable" Weiss yelled. I started walking for the door. "it's because I'm no better. we've all got skeletons in our closet's, you just seem to hate everyone else for them" I said, and left the room. "and you Blake, why are you defending them. The White Fang are horrible, and have no right to exist" I heard weiss demand. "WELL MAYBE IF WE WEREN'T OPPRESSED, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT" Blake snapped. after a few seconds, Blake busted through the door, and ran down the hall, so I decided to follow.

Blake ran out to the courtyard, and took off her bow, revealing a pair of cat ears. "so, you're a cat faunus. cool" I said. "you followed me" Blake pointed out. "you want to know what I meant back in the dorm, don't you" I asked. Blake nodded hesitantly. "the awnsers not as cool as me being an ex-assassin or anything, but I've killed quite a bit before I came to beacon. I've never killed anyone who hadn't done anything, only criminals, and the lot. In fact, I killed two people who were robbing a dust store just a few days prior to the entrance exam, but that doesn't make me innocent, and retribution could be right around the corner, and I've accepted that. something tells me you haven't" I said.

"when I was in the fang, I killed several innocent people, all because I thought it was for the betterment of faunus-kind. but after I realized what we were really doing, I ran away, and came here" Blake said. "Blake, I know you expect me to tell you that this will all blow over one day, but it's just not how things work. I understand you want to put it all behind you, but eventually it's gonna catch up to you. and trust me, I've learned from someone who knows a thing or two about not being the best person. now I'm not telling you to throw your life away, you just need to understand that those kind of things don't simply go away with time" I said. "Thanks Ruby, I needed that" Blake said.

"now how about we go do something to take a break from the ice queen, how about we get something to eat, how does fish sound" I sound. "I'm going to ignore the fact that you thought that because I'm a cat faunus, that I like fish, cause I do like fish... a lot" Blake said. A small small smile crept up my face. "alright. follow me, I know a place that has some of the best meat around" I said.

(a few hours later)

"So what do you want to do now" I asked. "I heard a few rumours that a large shipment of dust is coming in soon, and I have my suspicions that that roman guy is going to take advantage of it" Blake said. "Let me guess, you want to stop him" I asked. "Yeah" Blake said. "So have you heard when the shipment is coming in" I asked. "from what I heard, it's coming in later in later on tomorrow" Blake said. "you ready to head back to the dorms" I asked. "No, not really" Blake said. "alright then" I said
