She was warned from the previous village that the main road was a path better tread by bandits, and that she should stick to the forests. Cerulean hefted her bag and held tight onto her Scroll and book. She’d never met a bandit before, much less traveled this far out on her own. But she was almost fourteen, she had good knowledge of flora and fauna, plus she had her guide with her. She felt the book lightly hit her back, and for a moment decided that the next tree she saw, coming up on her right, she would scale and cast her gaze out onto the road, looking for these supposed ‘bandits’. Maybe she’d go back to the village if she did see them. She wasn’t too far away...

He winked. “Okay, okay, nothing that’ll break our contract. Like I said, best behavior. Most people are just glad to get Huntresses or Huntsman, what’s so important about the person you got us hooked up with?”

“Hey there. My name’s Tai, I’m in your Care for Magical Creatures class. You’re Raven, yeah?”

     " You're nothing but a murderer, a cold-hearted killer suffering from ill-mannered delusions of grandeur, and somebody needs to put you down ! "

“I would like to think I share as few qualities as possible with my father.” Not that it hadn’t taken her time and growth to get where she was now, but if what Winter thought the other was implying was correct, she most certainly didn’t share the same views as him. “And I most certainly do not want anyone bowing at me.”

“I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but that is entirely unnecessary.”

Taiyang sat on the side of his bed with his head in his hands. The only sounds in the room were his tears hitting the floor and his sobbing. His tears were briefly cut off by the sounds of another pair of shoes on the floor. He turned to look at the visitor. “Raven...?”

“Alright, let me see.” Qrow kneeled down, looking over her shoulder. From the looks of things, there wasn’t much he could do. “I don’t know if your aura can heal this by itself Rae, it’s pretty bad.”
