“ ruby! “ her voice carries across the patch of tundra both of these girls find themselves in, it’s tone that of excitement and warmth - this is her leader after all, the girl who risked it all time and time again .. just for a brighter tomorrow.

    “ i can’t say i’m surprised to see you here - how’re you holding up? “ 

because i’m absolutely freezing.

          ── between the lack of grimm to fight and no proper classes to attend, weiss has found herself feeling a bit lost ─ in more ways than simply not knowing her way around the area yet. any purpose that she’d had is now GONE ─ no relics to find, no people to defend, no company to take back . . . adjusting hasn’t been the easiest. ( but, at the very least, weiss is grateful she hasn’t had to so alone. )

     so, needless to say, when an opportunity presents itself to make use of her time and help someone out in the process, weiss is more thrilled. she’d already been itching to see this world’s wildlife ( especially adorable little penguins! she might not willingly admit this out loud so easily, though. ) so there’s really no drawbacks ─ weiss doesn’t even really care for a reward, at this point. 

     she can’t think of anyone else better to accomplish this task with her, either. 

     weiss arrived early to their meeting place. a new, thick coat hugs her frame ─ she’s grateful one of the shopkeepers accepted resources as a trade. she has a camera ( one she borrowed, of course! ) hanging from her neck and a spare jacket: one adorned with red accents. oh, she didn’t forget gloves, either! myrtenaster rests at her hip; weiss doesn’t expect to encounter danger but she feels far too naked without her prized rapier. at this point, it’s habit.

     she smiles upon seeing a familiar red cape rushing towards her. ruby. weiss takes a few steps forward to close the distance. she’d offer a hug, but her armful of items prevents so. 

     ❝ you’re on time, ruby. i’m impressed. ❞ she teases, presenting the jacket and gloves, ❝ here, take these. we don’t know how long we’ll be out and i’m not having either of us catch a cold today. i won’t take ‘ no ’ for an answer. ❞ she’s firm but lighthearted at the same time, practically shoving the extra clothes at her partner.

     ❝ the shoreline where we’ll find the penguins isn’t that far of a walk. ❞ weiss informs ─ she’d made sure she knew where they were going this time ─ ❝ and since we’re just taking pictures, we shouldn’t have to disturb them too much. ❞ a nod follows suit. sure ─ she may have over-prepared... but she can’t help feeling warm doing something like this together again. it feels almost like home among this strange world.

       the sparkles in the stranger’s eyes catches xion off guard, bright blue irises turning from glimmering silver to the giant key in her hands. she hadn’t been expecting such wide interest in it. after all, after waking up in eidolon, xion’s keyblade really did just look like a random prop she was carrying around. there was no magic, no summoning... for now, she just had to lug it with her on her short expeditions outside the village.

          ── LOST! OH, HOW VERY LOST she’s become. the snow - kissed trees replicate each other in a way that rivals even the emerald forest, much to weiss’s chagrin. the falling snow doesn’t help the situation at all, and weiss is beginning to curse herself for thinking that coming out here was EVER a good idea. surely, one of her bunkmates could have provided firewood! uneasiness sets in as she begins to worry what will happen if she doesn’t find something soon. a landmark, another person, anything...

...that is, until she spots a bright cape greatly contrasting the pale snow as she turns ‘round a corner into a new clearing. 

❝ ruby? ❞ a soft gasp escaped parted lips as her vision becomes clearer and she’s soon confident that she’s not mistaken ; ruby rose stands mere paces away. relief and comfort are the emotions she feels immediately ─ she’s not stranded on her own. and with ruby here, surely things can only go up.

❝ ruby! ❞ once weiss has reigned herself back into reality, she dashes forward until she nearly clashes into the red - clad girl. her features highlight with a bright, genuine smile as weiss takes one of ruby’s hands in her own, ❝ oh, thank the gods you’re here. i was so worried! ❞ worried i’d be alone again ─. the looming thread of being stranded has been forgotten in favor of the elation she feels. but with it, comes more confusion.

ICE KIDS WITH SHITTY DADS CREW

thanks for letting us know :3c noted!

     for her surprise, as the days went by, the android discovered little things here and there, and quickly realized how silly humans can be. they should be perfect, untouchable, a role model if anything. but here A2 is, watching as a human ate snow right off of the floor.

          ‘ . . .what the hell are you doing ? ’
