The Airship docks at Beacon Academy, its cargo of young, eager hunters and huntresses in training disembark, ready to meet the challenges before them. Though many of them were also staring at the Dragonborn standing tall amongst them.

This is Torinn, a young Dragonborn Fighter. He looks around with keen interest. 

 "So, this is Beacon Academy," Torinn muses to himself, oblivious to the stares he is receiving. "Impressive."    

He begins walking forward but then overhears a conversation that gains his attention.

(POV Change)

Ruby Rose, a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips, is right at the moment gushing over weapons.

"Sis! That kid has a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" She squeals in childish excitement, but before she can pursue the owner of the fire sword and ask her a million questions about its design, her sister reigns her in.     

"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons." Says Yang Xiao Long, a buxom and fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top.  

"Just weapons?!" Ruby looks at her sister, "They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, so cool!"  

"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asks.

Ruby unfolds her weapon and holds it tenderly, "Of course I'm happy with Cresent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better." 

"An interesting viewpoint."

"EEP!!" Cries Ruby, jumping into her sister's arms at the unexpected voice.

"My apologies, I did not mean to startle you." The two sisters look to see Torinn standing there.

Ruby, upon seeing Torinn, breaks out into a massive blush and nervously taps her index fingers together, "Hi." 

"We meet again," Torinn replies with a small smile. "I never did introduce myself when we first met, a mistake I intend to correct." He clenches his fist and holds it against his chest while bowing, "Torinn Norixius, son of Sulhazar, son of Donaar, at your service."

"R-Ruby R-Rose." Says a nervous Ruby, the blush still on her face.

"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Rose." Says Torinn

Yang looks at the exchange with bemusement, "Uh, want to fill me in, little sis?"

Ruby looks down at the ground in embarrassment, "Well, you see...."

(Flashback)

"Here you are, little miss. One order of Chocolate Delight Cookies." The Baker tells Ruby.
