It’s a quiet winter day at home, the fire place crackling as the wind whistles outside. Soft footsteps echo against the floor as long strides place Ozpin in front of the sofa Oscar likes to do his reading in. The boy doesn’t look up right away, eyes never leaving the pages in front of him, but in a fashion that has the man furrowing his brows in concern.
“Mind if I have a seat? I have your cocoa.” He asks, sitting down beside him when the permission is given. There’s two mugs in his hands, one of which is promptly handed over. Oz gently observes the boy take his first sips, before taking one of his own and sighing.
“Oscar... is something bothering you?” The question at first seems out of place, but he quickly explains himself. “I was going to ask how you were enjoying the book... but I noticed you weren’t really reading it.” Just staring at or through the story in his hands. “So please, talk to me.”
