The next morning

Penny wakes team RWBY up

At the morning meeting

Clover gathers everyone while Jaune made himself a cuppa coffee and sits next to Marrow whose tail was waging hoping that he'll give him his coffee then Josh gave Marrow a spare coffee from five on a coffee tray

Jaune: i was wondering why there is five coffees.

Josh: the other four are for myself, Edelgard, Winter and Sienna.

He gives Sienna a cuppa behind

Sienna: (sleepy) thanks Josh.

A various of places

Nora and ren were walking along the wall of mantel protecting from grimm while Blake and Yang are helping Marrow with clearing out the mine

Marrow: hey have you two thought about spacing out?

The girls were annoyed about this

At the Academy

The Ace Ops are training with teams JNR and RWBY

Vine: have you thought about expanding your aura?

Jaune: not really but I'll keep that in mind.

Ironwood suggests about jogging Ozpin loose a bit

Then a shotgun shoot ringing in the sparing ring and everyone went to the source of it and finds both Josh and Edelgard sparring

After their match

Edelgard: you're better than me. I'm surprised a bit.

Josh: I've been training since my mum's camp.

Edelgard: how is she?

Josh: i don't want to talk about her at the moment, Edel.

Edelgard: ok, Josh.

Orsune: can i borrow Josh for a bit?

Edelgard: sure.

Orsune: thanks (to Josh) I think it's time for you to meet your aunt, Josh.

Josh: ok, father.

They left the Academy

Oscar: i wonder where they're going.

Ironwood: I think i know.

At an advanced hospital

Orsune and Josh were walking towards a secret room

Josh: what's with the security?

He doesn't say anything

Orsune: ID Josh.

both Josh and Orsune show their IDs to the guards and walk past them and arrive at a special room

Orsune: come.

Josh follows his father into the room and an elderly woman sitting up right in her bed

Orsune: afternoon, Fria.

Fira: good afternoon, Orsune.

Orsune: how are you?

Fria: i'm well. Is that Josh?

He gestured Josh to come over

Orsune: Josh. meet your aunt, Fira.

Josh: nice to meet you aunt.

Fira: I haven't seen you since you were a baby in your mother's arms. And after all these years I've never thought that you would be a fine young man. It's so lovely to see you again, dear.

Then Winter arrived and Josh left them

A little while afterwards

Orsune was sharing tea and cake with fira as Winter joined Josh.

Winter: she could pass any day now.

Josh: (looking sad) And I've just met her after so long...

Winter: do you have second thoughts about me being your new girlfriend?

Josh: (cheering up) no i don't Winter.

Winter: i'm happy.

She gives him a hug and he does the same then Orsune joins the pair

Orsune: can you leave us, Winter?

Winter: sure.

She leaves them

Orsune: I take it that you know about that she'll pass away any day?

Josh: yes, Winter told me.

Orsune: Ironwood might asked Winter to become the next winter maiden but I have someone else in mind.

Josh: who?

Orsune: Penny.

Josh: okay, why her?

He explains that she's the official protector of Mantel and who could be better then her

Orsune: Gylnn is in about her being the next maiden instead of Winter.

Josh: what about Edelgard and the others?

Orsune: they know about it.

Josh was surprised until Winter came back

Winter: you two gotta see this.

She shows a live boardcast from the Schnee Mansion

Orsune: just what is that idiot doing?

Josh: don't know.

Jacques gives a speech

Winter: I think that he has light the fire of chaos.

Josh: that isn't good.

Orsune: (contacts Edelgard) we need to prepare for an upcoming storm.

Edelgard: (over communication) I've already sent some of my troops down to Mantel.

Orsune: good work.
