did someone ask for MORE RWBY CH. 5

[scraggly]

... What?

Why are you looking at me like I did something really stupid?













Was it the guitar? It was the guitar, wasn't it.

[multiglyphs]

Witnessing you is actually physically painful.

[scraggly]

Being me isn't much better, lately.

[monkeystowaway]

Not a good week for us blond boys. [Or redhead girls. Come on, Jaune.]

[multiglyphs]

"Lately"?

[scraggly]

Yeah, tell me about it. I actually think fighting the Grimm is easier.

[monkeystowaway]

Or fighting giant robots.

[scraggly]

[ jesus weiss way to lay on the hurt ]

Yeah... Thanks.

[scraggly]

Yeah, or fighting giant






... Wait, what?

[multiglyphs]

[ oh right SHE'S STILL GETTING USED TO THIS BEING NICE THING OKAY... ]

What I mean is... this is hardly the first time I've rejected you. [ WAIT, SHE'S GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS. ] So you should be used to it by now. [ H-HANG ON— ] It's water under the bridge! You have all the tools you need to move on.

[ 8D??? ]

[scraggly]

[ you are just

literally the worst at this

like actual trash-level reassurance skills ]

How many times have you been rejected?

It doesn't get easier.

[multiglyphs]

[ wow at least she's trying! ]

Well. I haven't ever been, actually. [ yet. here's looking at you, chapter six. ] But it should work like most other things, right? If it happens enough times, you get desensitized to it.

[ she checks the time on her scroll. ] Actually, I have some time now if you'd like me to reject you a few more times.

[scraggly]

You know what?

I think I'm good, thanks.

Yep.

Totally over it now.









[ s i g h ]

[multiglyphs]

[ she clicks her tongue impatiently. ]

Don't you think you're overreacting a little? You don't even really like me!

[ballisticfists]

You're really kind of oblivious, huh?

[ Have a disapproving girl stare, Jaune. Srsly bro. ]

[scraggly]

Yeah... I'm starting to realize that.

It was too indie-modern, right? Ugh, I knew I should have gone more classical...

[ Jaune no one is talking about the guitar okay ]

[scarlet_devil]

You know, it'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic~

[And here's a bittypire being a pain.]

[lotus_huntsman]

[He disapproves. He disapproves so much. Not the guitar, but that moment with Pyrrha. Have the "R" in your team just stare at you with all his disapproving-ness.]

[shining_beacon]

A moment of your time, if I could, Mr. Arc.

[scraggly]

Yeah, well...

Your hat is kind of silly!

[scraggly]

[ NOT YOU TOO, REN

NOT YOU TOO ]

Why do I feel like everyone is giving me that look, now?

[scraggly]

P-professor Ozpin!

[ STRAIGHTENS UP IMMEDIATELY ]

Of course, sir!

[scarlet_devil]

[Remi is unimpressed.]

I've heard better insults from fairies.

[scraggly]

[ Sigh ]

I know... it's not even true, that's a cute hat.

[shining_beacon]

I know that this is a tumultuous and complicated point in your life. Believe me, I had issues of my own in that regard when I was your age.

However, I will tell you what a good friend told me... something that has effected the very fabric of my life to this very day.

Instead of worrying about building bridges to other teams, perhaps you should focus on cultivating the bonds within your own team.

There is a reason that you form two-person teams during initiation, after all, Mr. Arc.

[scraggly]

Two-person... what, do you mean Pyrrha? Oh don't worry, sir, we're getting along really well! She's really been helping me improve my form! My sword arm's improved a lot, and she's even helping me get the hang of this Aura stuff--

[ wait no any non-cheating student entering beacon would already know how to use aura UHHHHH ]

I-I mean tighten my control of it, since she's so awesome at it and everything.

So, yeah! I think our bond is pretty great!
