Okay uh... Volume 4 will most likely be short, cause 2/3 or the screen time is for other characters, and it's a lot of fights when it's the Ruby's pov, so I'll try doing more fight scene, I can't promise anything, but I'll try

-----------------------------------------------------------

You see Ruby getting out of Yang's room, and she just got kind of rejected by her dear sister

Ruby: I love you sis...

She's surprised to see you, and maybe a bit angry

"Are you peeking?"

"Uh, well, I'm just here to tell you that... You don't need to worry about her too much. I get it's kind of your thing to worry about people but she'll get over this. Sooner than you think"

"I uh..." She look sad and then suddenly determined "Okay, I can't stand this anymore... Come with me!"

She take your arm and drag you to your shared room (yeah 'cause there are two beds, but don't worry, no lemons here, I'm making sure of it)

"What is it?"

She seat on her bed, and point at yours

"Sit down, we need to talk"

Why does this sound like she's my girlfriend and she's about to dump me?

You sit in front of her

"What's the big deal?"

"Stop it"

I don't like where this is going

"Stop what?"

"Stop acting like Ozpin. Stop always trying to help us. We are not at Beacon anymore You're not the Peacekeeper anymore. You don't need to... to always think that YOU need to solve every problem we have!"

I know exactly what she mean, but I'm going to tease her a bit

"Oh... I didn't realize I was being a pain... Sorry... Guess I'm out of my place now..."

"No! That's not why I meant!"

She look really embarrassed and sorry

I'm enjoying this way too much... I'll go a bit further

"But that's what you said"

Okay maybe I got too far...

"I..."

She first look even much sorry and look down, almost giving up

"Ruby I-"

She suddenly get her head up and look directly in your eyes

"y/n stop playing with me"

"..."

Extraction! Extration! We need to get out of here! Now!

"I know I'm not the smartest girl out there, but I can tell you're mocking me right now"

She look serious, which is rare enough to mention it

"Sorry..."

"Thank you for acknowledging this, now..."

She's back to her concern face, but more serious this time, which is way more common, but really not reassuring about what's next...

"I know you understand what I'm saying. Stop thinking it's your "duty" or something to help us. It isn't. I can see you always want to say more but you're restraining yourself. The only time where you said all you had to say was when you yelled at Weiss and Blake. I don't know if you do this out of genuine concern about us or just because it annoy you to see people doing or thinking differently from your... let's say... realistic... point of view... But I know that it pains you to not tell everything you think of and I know you don't like seeing girls cry too. So you get yourself in a situation where you try and succeed to help people, but not in the best of your abilities. And that... that must hurt..."
