[Discontinued] Sorrow's Road (Abused Male Reader X RWBY)

43: The Worm's Vessel

Y/N stands in the living with Vale hovering over his shoulder, and Amanda and Hazel sitting on the couch in front of him.

"You're leaving again?" Amanda asks sadly

"Yes but I won't be gone as long as last time. Thankfully." He replies

"I guess that makes me feel a little better." She says

"Don't worry. As soon as I'm done clearing out this anomaly, I'll be coming back home on a dime." Y/N reassures

"Please do."  Amanda says in a whisper-like voice

"I promise, Amanda." He tells her, "But right now, I need your help to prepare for the journey ahead." 

"I don't follow," Amanda says

"Well, I need to check my ammunition, rations, water-bottles, and my armor." He states, "With your help it'll cut the prep time down by a large margin."

Hazel gives a thumbs-up while Amanda does the thinking pose.

"I'll help." Amanda simply says

Transition...

With all his ammo checked, prepped, and transmatted into his space-backpack. Y/N stands in his chosen armor set with a backpack filled with 2 sandwichs and 3 water-bottles in-hand.

Y/N takes off his cloak so he can put on the backpack. Once it's on he puts his cloak back on. He looks down at the handcannon that sits on the table, and stares at it. The grip of the gun has wraps around it. The barrel still has the bone on it, but its coloration has gained a tan-ish color with a black strip going down diagonally. He grabs it and puts the handcannon in his holster. He turns around and is greeted with Amanda who has something in her hand.

"Hey Amanda."

She doesn't say anything. She just looks down at the floor.

"Amanda?"

"I... made this necklace for you, and I figured now would be the best time to give it to you," she tells him. "Hopefully you won't get captured again with it."
