You are in front of a door, at the address Qrow gave you. He told you someone would do it once he reported it to the guild but you insisted you promised you'll do it and you'll take responsibility

You take a deep breath

*knock knock knock*

You're helding the scroll in your hands when the door open lightly

You see a women, probably in her sixties, looking at you with a questioning face, which is legitimate, because you are in your battle suit and with Gluttony on your back

"Can I help you?"

"I looking for Mrs. Seapper"

"She's right before you"

"I assume you are the mother of Ryan Seapper?"

She grow suspicious

"Yes, why?"

"I'll get straight to the point. I'm here to announce you that your son, Ryan Seapper, lost his life on his last mission, while protecting the Shion village"

Her eyes widen

"We came across Shion village while traveling. When we found him, he was already deadly injured, he asked us to tell you he was sorry, but that he did what was right"

You hand her the scroll

"All I can provide you is his scroll. We couldn't retrieve his body, I'm sorry"

She takes the scroll, looks at it for some time and look back at you

"How?"

"... Bandits... They raided the village. Considering they were huntsman present, there is only one bandit group that could launch a general attack on them: The Branwen Tribe... After that... With all the negativity, the Grimm came too..."

Fuck you Raven

"My only son.... *sob* He... He died protecting others... I told him not to go, I was worried about him becoming a huntsman, but he wouldn't let go... He said this was his dream... to help people..."

"And he did, to his last breath, he informed us of what happened and did the very best he could protecting these people"

She look obviously very sad, but a bit relieved to hear that

"So... In the end... He accomplished his dream..."

"Yes, he was an accomplished and great huntsman, be proud of your son"

She look surprised by your word, but when make smile...

"Thank you... Truly, thank you young man"

"I'm just doing my duty ma'am"

"I suppose... You want to become a huntsman too?" she say, looking at your weapon

"Yes, that's my goal"

Lies, sweet little lies...

"Then I hope you will live for him"

"I will ma'am, I promise I'll help the people in need, whatever the cost"

At least I'll try

"Thank you... Now... I need time for myself... If you understand"

"Yes, I won't bother you any longer"

"You don't. May I know your name, young man?"

"y/n l/n"

"Well y/n, good luck with your goal"
