*Qrow stabs Tryian in the gut and manages to push him against the wall*

Qrow: Raven Branwen! Say her name!

Tyrian: Haha- Ack! Hahahaha!

Qrow: SAY IT! YOU KILLED HER! YOU MURDERED HER!

*Qrow twists Harbinger a bit, causing Tyrian to lose some strength and get limp for a second*

Qrow: No... No, you can't die yet! Not when you haven't confessed to what you di-!

*However, Qrow didn't finish his sentence as Tyrian grabbed both sides of his head and lifted him up, causing Qrow to let go of Harbinger and Tyrian began pressing his thumbs into Qrow's eye sockets*

Tyrian: R-Raven Branwen!

Qrow: A-AH...!

Tyrian: I killed her!

Qrow: AAAHHHH!

Tyrian: I MURDERED HER! HAHAHAHAHA!

Qrow: RRAAAAAHHHHH!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!

Tyrian: AND I CAVED IN HER HEAD LIKE THIS!
