A low and exhausted sigh escaped the huntsman as he trailed towards the maiden offering her a seat--it was quite rare that he would do such a kind gesture but she seemed-- tormented.

He listened to the words she spoke, she felt powerless, and vulnerable. A side that he never seen in her-- So the huntsman perched over to her as he took his own seat across, careful to not do anything to cause her more harm. Her own mental stress, and anxiety was clearly shown.

“Fought for?” He repeated her last statement as his eyes narrowed trying to think of more ways than one to keep it from upsetting her. Keeping his antics low, he gave her a calming tone but riddled with nothing but truth

Glynda smiled, gazing into his eyes as he pressed a light kiss on her temple. She moved even closer to him, so they could be as close to him as possible. “ You treat me well enough Qrow.” She smiled and would hold his hand despite him pulling away.

“ You’re not preventing me don’t worry..” She giggled and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Scarlet like his eyes stained his cheeks as the huntsman pulld her towards her couch laying down to take a breather “Are you alright?” he felt the fear welling up in his chest, similar to when he puts his life on the line for anything.

“I’m sorry” He murmured quietly drawing his face into her skirt. 

His lips were warm. His face was warm. Everything about him was warm as they got closer in their fiery kiss. Arms slowly wrapped around his neck, pressing deeper into his kiss. Once they savored the moment, she pulled away and made eye contact with him. Her heart skipped a beat as he spoke after their passionate moment.

She took a deep breath and kissed the bridge of his nose. “.. Yes. I will still and be yours.” Glynda closed her eyes before pulling him into a tighter embrace.

Scarlet just like his eyes stained his cheeks, as he felt her slender arms snaking around his body though everything in his head told him to leave, he held her closer as he lightly pressed his lips to her temple though careful to not touch or mess with her glasses, as the huntsman cleared his throat from being flustered. Being sly--and flirtatious  wouldn’t work for him it wasn’t the time.

Glynda knew all too well the risks of being with a man who’s sole semblance is to literally ruin anything he loved or at least cause him any bad luck. It was useful in combat but… it wasn’t in reality. She wanted to change that. She wanted Qrow to know that despite his semblance, there would be someone out there who’d still dearly love him… and he was sitting in front of one hright now.

He seemed to be hesitant as he held her shoulders and spoke, stuttering. She felt bad at some point but at the same time she nwanted to ‘re-affirm’ him.

After he spoke, she grabbed both his cheeks and said. “ Let me clear your mind then..” She said pulling him into a deep passionate kiss.

When was the first time since he last felt a loving touch, a man like himself whose been drowned in so much blood and misfortune-- so much anguish was being loved by someone. They were warm and soft, something that he wasn’t ready for. 

“Glyn---” But he was cut off by her quick thinking, or rather he ws caught off guard by the kiss, it was heated, clearing all thoughts he had. If only he could stop time, savoring this moment. Leaning into the kiss, as hands slipped around her waist closing the gap between then, after a moment he broke away from her taken back from her assertiveness.

“Will...

“ That would be more convenient..”

Glynda caught his small kiss on her temple and looked up at him for a moment as he now pulled her closer. She just let out an amused chuckle and kissed the bridge of his nose. She could honestly smell the alcohol from where she was but she couldn’t really bring herself to care.

He started reminiscing again which kind of made her smile fade slightly but immediately returned at his last sentence.

“ It’s never too late, Qrow.” She said moving her hand up and down his back again. “ If you just asked.. I won’t say no.”

Qrow froze, his breathing and heart stopped for just a moment. It had frightened him to even think about getting into a stable relationship, with his blessed curse his breathing became harsh as scarlet eyes darted to the maiden beside him.

Worried as if he had gotten hurt or wounded somewhere--maybe it was the alcohol hitting him, maybe it was something trying to kill him, but he wanted to ask her--to stand beside this mess, this curse of a crow that brings nothing but disaster and misfortune. he moved toward her face inches away as he stared into her eyes, as if begging her to free him to fly away with him, that he so desperately wanted to do.

“I-I...” Studdering he grasped her shoulders gently as he tried biting back the tears that wanted to fall freely. “You know--” the words struggled as his thoughts swanted to shout all he felt. But even so--it wouldn’t work out.

Or rather he was too afraid to accept happiness for the first time, for something terrible might happen to her if he did.

“I’m too drunk right now to think clearly right now, Glynda.”

“ Well.. I don’t mind if we go on foot or aircraft I mean— as long as I’m with you, I I wouldn’t mind the time.” Glynda smiled her hand moving up and down to his back.

She suddenly let out a soft scoff at his last words and just shook her head. “ I’ll keep the riding crop but I’ll definitely change my clothes for something travel friendly.”

“Lets take a aircraft” He answered stiffening at the slim fingers drawing up and down his back, he caught her smile from the corner of his eye, as he let a light sigh escape taking her lead before planting a small kiss on her temple. A hand drawing over her shoulder closing the distance, as a light hum escaped from his vocal chords.

“If only I asked you out, back during our beacon days” Qrow spoke in defeat. “But I’d prefer you in honestly, now than before, after all you were just not my type” He chuckled a bit letting out a deep breath feeling the alcohol finally hit him. 

Glynda then turned back to her drink and took a sip. She could still feel the aftertaste of his mouth on hers, making her feel a little.. flustered. She then turned to him at his next words.

“ Atlas?” She raised both eyebrows for a moment to think and looked down at the drinks. Well, I don’t mind traveling with you. “ 

“We’d have to go on foot though is that alright?” He head now laying rest on the back of his palm. “Just to remind you that if we leave and take a aircraft it’ll shorten it all down to maybe 3 or 4 days” 

Glynda somehow felt ashamed of herself that she had high hopes that she and Qrow would have ‘something’ again. However, based on his words, it felt like it would be a long shot. However.. his sudden pull on her neck told her otherwise.

Luckily, her glass was already on the table as it tensed up as he pulled her in for a sudden kiss. She could taste the whiskey in his mouth, almost bitter in taste but his lips made up for it becoming a sweet taste. Her breathing was tense but slowly eased into his lips as her hands slowly ran up his back.

Once he pulled away, she looked into his eyes never pulling his forehead away. “ .. It’s.. it’s alright. I kind of missed it..”

He pulled back away from her as his draw withdrew back to his glass taking another sip, savoring the amber taste, a hand drew out a card keeping the tab open for if she wanted anything else.

 “So Glynda, are you coming along, to Atlas with me; I mean staying in Vale must be....” A pause as he glanced over to her “Plus I’m sure James is also awaiting you to come visit on your off days.”
