Descent into Shadows (Atlas Arc)

Atlas Routine

A week had passed since Y/n and his friends received their official Hunters license from General Ironwood. Through that time each team has already been hard at work, whether it was missions, training under the ace ops, the primary objective was still to protect Amity Tower, Including supply runs from Grimm and bandits. And protecting the site itself.

Down in Mantle, Vlad and Wendy are on a patrol mission for anything out of the ordinary.

Wendy: Ugh why'd you have to sign up for patrol duty, it's so boring.

Vlad: *sighs* Well excuse me if I wanted to take it easy after spending the last two years doing life threatening crap, and that's not to mention all the shit in just the last two weeks. Besides you could've easily went with Y/n.

Wendy pouts and puts her arms behind her head while she continues walking.

Wendy: I would have but every morning he's gone before we wake up and by the time he gets back all he does is eat and go to bed.

Vlad: Can't really blame him, given you know...

Wendy: *sadly* Yeah... not to mention being back here of all places probably isn't helping.

As they continued walking they both glanced up at a nearby store window and hanging on the door was a sign that read "no faunus allowed, no exceptions". Wendy scowled at the store front, just as she began to reach for her heavy blade, Vlad caught her hand and ushered her along.

Vlad: Oh no you don't, I get how you feel but I'm not getting chewed out by Ironwood just because you can't control your temper.

Wendy pouts and relaxes her hand away from the handle of her blade.

Wendy: I wasn't going to do anything... much.

Vlad: *rolls eyes* Yeah yeah, just try to- *sees crowd of women* Is that Jaune?

Across the street from them were a group of five young women standing on the sidewalk, watching Jaune and giggling excitedly. Four of them strike poses, grinning at him. One of the four winks, while another holds out her hand, gesturing for him. The fifth looks away shyly. Meanwhile, a blonde woman in a red coat has approached Jaune with a large casserole.

Jaune: *awkwardly* Oh, another casserole. That's too kind.

The blonde woman repeatedly attempts to hand the casserole to the reluctant Jaune before forcibly shoving it into his arms, blushing.

Vlad: Since when was the vomit boy such a ladies man?

Wendy: *smirking* Is that jealousy I hear.

Vlad: pfft Please, I could go over there right now and they'll all be looking at me.

Wendy: Oh? I'll be sure to let Yang know that then.

Vlad: W-Wait hold on, I was just joking.

Nora: It's totally the haircut.

Vlad and Wendy both jump in surprise at Nora who seemed to appear from no where, checking out Jaune and his admirers. Ren standing behind gives a small wave to the two.
