The Black Fang

I’m all caught up, so Volume Seven spoilers probably!

Ren nodded in full agreement. “I felt the same when I was in Mistral growing up.” After his village had been destroyed, and he hadn’t a choice. “I couldn’t believe how big it was, because my village was relatively small.”

“When I was in the White Fang, I did a lot of traveling,“ Blake admitted. Her brows furrowed as she remembered some unpleasant memories therein. “Just not a lot of sightseeing. And I guess I didn’t do any good, either.”

After sputtering to catch her breath again, she finally gives one last cough. “Haha…right. Super not used to it. Maybe I can do like a whispery version instead?” @blackcatbelladonna​

Blake hesitates for a second, then rests her hand on Yang’s shoulder. “Just catch your breath first before you try again.”

“Haha…yeah.” She nodded, appreciating the verbal assistance, but after about another minute she was still a bit out of breath. “Eugh…maybe I’m just tired too. Ironwood’s been running us ragged lately. Haven’t even really had that much time to relax and chill…”

“...What do you think will happen? When the people learn? And... when Ironwood finds out?”

❝ we’re a team, your weight is my weight. it’s the same the other way around, too. don’t be hard on yourself, blake. ❞

“R-Right.” Letting her walls down was still completely against her nature, but she had promised herself to stop running. “I’ll... I’ll forgive myself one day.”

“Took the words right out of my mouth. So, ignoring them, how are you, Blake?”

“Still getting used to the change in scenery. I knew I was going to see more once I left home the first time but... I never thought of Remnant as this big before.”

After sputtering to catch her breath again, she finally gives one last cough. “Haha…right. Super not used to it. Maybe I can do like a whispery version instead?” @blackcatbelladonna​

Blake hesitates for a second, then rests her hand on Yang’s shoulder. “Just catch your breath first before you try again.”

Ren knew exactly what she meant. He smiled. “It feels that way to me too, Blake.” He told her without hesitation. “When I talk about ‘my team’, I mean the four of you as well.” They’d all been through too much together for that not to be the case. “And Oscar. Even Qrow, to an extent.” He was glad that Blake didn’t, or likely wouldn’t give what she’d just told him, think he was weird for what he was saying. “I have no doubts that you are, Blake.” He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder briefly and smiled at her.

“I believe it now.”
