[Her brows raise and her eyes widen as she takes this in.] I.....[She wished her semblance was to split into clones so that she can be everywhere at once protecting everyone. But it probably doesn't work that way anyway.]
We will. I'll get Jeane to safety and then...[She trails off with a determined look. She has to fix this. Even if it costs everything.]
There's another enemy you need to be on guard against. The woman in red with the bow. Ozpin is holding her off but we don't know how long that will last. Blake, if you see her don't fight her alone! If you two really are hurt, it would be best to just get to safety.
What?! [What in the world could do that to Yang? To Blake too, for that matter. Both are good fighters.] Are you at least somewhere safe right now?! Ren and Nora are still out there somewhere. I think they were with Team CFVY - it might be better to stick with them. Ren reads a lot. He might know something about doctoring wounds.
[At least she hopes he does. A stab wound is one thing. And arm...]
It's too late for that my love. Though maybe I'll consider it once I've taken everything and everyone away, then you'll have to choose if you still want to run.
Enough! [Her tone was harsh, eyes narrowing. Now the shock of what had transpired between them has worn off, Blake felt her sadness and anger intermingle until she could no longer determine which is which.
She no longer recognized Adam. He had fully turned into a monster, into a beast that belonged in the shadows.]
I've had it! I've had enough of running away. And I've had enough of you.
You are no longer the man I cared about. You let all your hate consume you whole until there's nothing decent and good inside you left.
[She knows this was all bravado, that this was all talk. But if she learned anything during her time in Beacon was the people there, her friends, are beings who have overcame insurmountable odds fighting side-by-side. Her pessimistic view of seeing the world, her pragmatic approach to life had been changing before she even knew it.
And it was all thanks to them. To all of them.]
Those people you are threatening to take away from me? They're stronger than you think.
Then go ahead, but if you're going to stop me you will have to be ready to kill me. And those who follow this path.
Can you do that, kill your own kind? To become a 'hero' that saves mankind from mindless monsters just like the history books in the previous conflicts between man and Faunus.
[Ruby is just keeping her hood up, fists clinched. It's obvious she's trying to appear as strong as she can with her heart in ruins.]
No Blake, you won't. You're not alone in this. We've all lost too much. We will make sure this ends. Team RWBY was there when they started all this, and we'll be standing when it stops.
[Her first instinct was to argue that it was impossible to bypass someone who can literally make Aura a no sell. But Blake bit her tongue once she see Ruby put on a determined look, making the cat faunus sigh instead.]
We need to regroup, have Weiss rest and get Yang and myself to a healer before we plan our next move.
[Giving the most dubious look of all.] How many lives have you actually taken while at your sheltered little ritzy school? It's a little different when the monster is wearing the face of one your friends.
Want to know what the biggest joke of all is though? When you find out how easy it actually is. Only once those dice are thrown, there's no take backs.
My apologies. [Have a malicious smirk.] I'd forgotten that you had on the job experience. Assuming you didn't leave all the dirty work to Red Bull there before you ran away.
Something about being an ass, which I've been told I am. [He shrugs like his usual snarky self but something seems subdued. If this event has made the kitten grow some claws it's almost a shame if he won't be around to taunt her about it. Kind of takes away the fun.]
Have a jerk with a similar weapon to Adam's. Also fond of cutting off arms.

I'm going to stop her - and whoever else she's brought with her.
no subject
[She says that but the reality of the situation dawned at her.]
I don't even know if it's possible. Our Aura, it can be rendered useless against that man that hurt me and Yang. But... I really want to end this.
no subject

[Which definitely makes Adam's appearance in Beacon stranger. Could he and this woman be connected somehow?]
We're not much use to anyone right now. Yang has a severed arm and I have stab wound in my stomach.
1/2
[She like to know who this woman is an where she came from. It's like she knew all of their plans.]
2/2
[At least she hopes he does. A stab wound is one thing. And arm...]
and then the kitty ran away ;;;
That episode chewed up and spit out what was left of my soul ;_;
I will stop at least one of them. Find your team. Stay safe, Blake.

And I almost tagged this as Tohru from Fruits Basket oops
[She can use what she knows to her advantage.
The question now was:
Will it be enough?]
That's a pretty big difference, would she still try see the good in him?
no subject
With Tohru being Tohru, yes. I mean, c'mon, she still wanted to try to be Akito's friend.
You're not the only one who has changed.

[Sam's just going to give Blake a light clap. He could respect a strong will. Then he just gives Blake a smirk that's profoundly irritating.]
Of course I doubt you can save anyone in the long run just by getting stabbed and running away.
Adam, I found your new soulmate!!

I've always hated turning my back on a good fight. Some people just get lucky that I don't get a choice in leaving.

Who am I even kidding? Out in the real world, there are no "fair fights". Only fights you win by any means necessary.
no subject
I do believe in fair fights actually, to a certain definition of the phrase.
[While he won't sneak up on a person on a fight, he's perfectly happy to cut an opponent down to size even if they stand zero chance.]
Comes with being raised around by sword. But you? You're more of a subterfuge kind of woman. Not exactly the kind of person made for fair fights.
