A message has been sent to Ruby that she’ll regroup with her later. She needs a moment to think, to breathe. Weiss hadn’t expected to run into her mother, nor the conversation that followed. She needs air, before she can reunite with her friends. Though even the garden is stifling. The manor itself weighs down on her. She weaves through the garden with the intent of avoiding everyone, but... someone else had that plan too.

“...Whitley?”

The middle Schnee sibling wraps an arm around herself. A momentary pause. Her eyes drop toward the ground. Then she speaks up, “I’m sorry about earlier. I needed to get past you, but I didn’t account for my friends doing that.” She knows she should have, considering the food fight and all. A longer pause, then she looks up at him, making direct eye contact. Weiss needs him to know she’s serious.

“I’m sorry for leaving you. I was so... I was so angry. You seemed so happy to be the heir. You seemed so happy that I was miserable. I couldn’t take that. I didn’t know how to take that. So, I chose to leave. It wasn’t fair to you though.”

None of this fair to any of them, is it?

I made a WONDERFUL edit.

man when Ruby was looking at Oscar I was SO hoping they were gonna just, send Oscar over as distraction to like…talk to the other child in the room but NOPE

           she can almost feel her heart dropping in her chest --- what was wrong with those people ? they were older, could have done ANYTHING besides something so hideously immature. it stung, having thought better of weiss. she was always too good for her family.  ‘  here, close your eyes,  ‘  wendy commanded, gently pressing one napkin against his eyelids to soak up any excess wine in his lashes.

@wintersrapier​ @shatterflake​ :EYES: i could do it. I Could. i’ll see what point the thread’s at when i get to it so that i don’t like... conflict w/ any of it. 

There is no sinday, only waffleday.

it’s like the silent stares they’ve given each other over the years has finally reached a boiling point at this specific party. this is the first time neither the young ironwood nor the young schnee are pinned to their fathers’ sides. left to their own devices  ( and their families’ mutual animosity ),  things can go wrong quiet quickly.
