~Menagerie~

On the steps of the Belladonna Household, Sun, Blake, and Fawna hold scrolls as Blake turns to them.

"Okay. Are you ready?" Blake asks.

"I beat up on giant monsters and robots more than once, I think I can handle getting a few signatures." Sun replied with a cocky smirk.

"Sure tough guy." Fawna grins, rolling her eyes.

On a cobblestone wall, Blake stands, holding her scroll out with blank lines for signatures.

"Your chieftain needs you! Your people need you! Please, join the fight and help us save Haven Academy!" Blake shouted above the mass as the Faunus just stare back at Blake.

Elsewhere, Sun is trying to recruit a ram Faunus.

"Are you kidding me!? We'd love to have someone with your talents on our team!" Sun grins.

"Mata!" The mother calls out as the two turn to see her march over and pull the young man by his ear.

"Mom!" Mata protested.

"Get back inside, you're not going anywhere." She said, dragging him away much to Sun's disappointment.

Fawna stood in front of a group as she held her scroll to them.

"The only way we can stand up to our injustices is if we go to Haven Academy." Fawna explained.

"What does that have to do with the injustices we face?" A dog faunus asked.

"It'll put us in a new light and gain some respect." Fawna replied.

"Though your actions are just, all we want is to live in peace Ms. Robert. Thank you but I must decline." The faunus replied before dispersing.

Fawna sighed before regrouping with Blake and Sun.

"I don't get it! How can they just sit around and do nothing with the White Fang getting ready to attack?!" Sun groans, slamming his drink on the table.

"Because not everyone is like you, me, or Fawna. The Faunus here in Menagerie - the ones that weren't born on the island - moved here because they were tired of fighting, of having to struggle constantly. Menagerie is filled with people that just want to be left alone, and here we are, asking them to put the rest of the world before themselves." Blake frowned.

"I guess I never really thought about it like that." Sun replied.

"You never think things through." Fawna commented, earning a scoff from the monkey faunus.

"The problem is, whatever happens at Haven is going to affect them whether they like it or not. If Adam gets his way and Haven falls, it's only going to make things worse for the Faunus. Everywhere." Blake said.

"Adam... He's the guy you used to... work with?" Sun asked cautiously.

"Yes." Blake sighs.

"Sorry, forget I ever brought it up." Sun apologized quickly.

"It's okay, have you two ever met someone and though, 'They are the embodiment of this word'?" Blake continued.

"I know Terry is the embodiment of Fool." Fawna smiled before it faltered.

"When I first met Ruby, I thought 'This girl is the embodiment of Purity'. Weiss was Defiance and Yang was Strength." Blake smiled.

"Yeah, Terry was Fool, Aaron was Valor...and Peter was Heroic." Fawna chimed in as Blake smiled warmly at her.

"What am I?" Sun asked the two.
