Neo flung open the door to her home, littered in bruises, cuts, and dried blood. She made sure the path to Qrow’s room was clear before helping Morrigan get the old man to his bed, easing him on to the soft surface.
Her face was still as neutral as ever, except for the occasional wince as a particularly tender wound was brushed against or stretched.
“...You realize we probably should have taken him to an actual hospital, right?“ The exhausted criminal stated as she finally turned her gaze to Morrigan. “I know he’s stubborn and all, but even I’m not sure about if he’s going to be okay.“

“You were supposed to be there for me. To protect me, to teach me. You were supposed to be the one who finally got me to cave and leave Roman. Now look at what you’ve done! You’ve left me, you’ve left Morrigan and Lark and everyone. The worst part is that I know I’m not the one you’d bring yourself back for. And I hate those two for it. But you left me alone, Qrow….What do I do now?“

“They’ve hunted me for so long…I couldn’t do my job right after you were gone. They’ve nearly killed me so many times. Not even the b—Roman can stop them…I’ve been laying low at your place when I can…I keep the windows locked anymore. It’s entirely stupid, but even after you died you still won. I still left Roman. Sure it wasn’t the way you wanted, but I bet some part of you is still glad, you stupid old Scarecrow…“

“The nightmares come and go still, but I’m learning to deal with them as they come. Ozpin reminds me a lot of you, you know? Cryptic and annoying, but secretly fatherly almost. I’ve called him by your name on accident more than once, and I see the sympathy he tries to hide. But he’s not you, but at least I’m working for the good guys now…right?….I miss you dad…“

Vale always had a Winter Festival not long after the start of the new year. Neo could just remember going to the show when she was little.
Fireworks and treats and lights as the visitors would walk down designated paths. There were ice sculpting contests, and the stores would have special sales before closing early. There were scavenger hunts and games for kids, and drink samplings and more age appropriate games for adults.
Naturally of course, she hadn't gone in years.
But that was about to change, and all because Qrow had made mention of going a few days earlier.
So now the two were here, paying their way in and walking through the entrance gate. The girl stayed close to the other of course, most of her hair hidden under a hat to avoid rousing suspicion. Though, to be fair, the amount of twinkling lights and various sparklers would have made it hard anyways.
It wasn't long after joining everyone else who was at the festival that Neo seemed to shift to a long forgotten child-like excitement. She pointed out things, sampled any treat she could get her hands on, and marvel at all the lights and sounds and sculptures.
Qrow kept a close eye on her of course. But he too took in the sights and sounds with the quiet awe only adults ever displayed. He walked the paths, and stared at the ice carvings, being reminded of a time when the girls were younger, and a single sneeze from a certain Yang had been enough to melt the snowmen they had been working on with Ruby and Tai. He even had time to taste some different brews and blends, and found a few that were to his liking.
By the time the two were ready to leave, Neo had worn herself out from all the excitement, something she hadn't done in a very long time. The old Hunter glanced down at the young criminal with that loving look he had been giving her all night when she wasn't paying attention. Seeing her act like a kid was always refreshing.
Stooping as Neo gave a stretch, Qrow suddenly scooped up the short girl with ease, giving a hint of a smirk at her surprised face. Neo of course, didn't protest, was soon resting her head on his shoulder, matching the multitude of other fathers all carrying their exhausted children out of the park.
By the time Qrow reached their home, Neo would be asleep in his arms.
