[Hey, he's SOOOO COOL! AS IS GLYNDA! And he gave her cookies!]

Small detail. His school was accepting new students the NEXT DAY and yet he came to see me personally! I'm still convinced he knows.

[That's not the point, Ruby.]

One of your instructors coming across a girl who wields a scythe like you do at fifteen is a lot more noticeable than a fake transcript.

I have no appropriate fidgeting icons. >.> This must change!

[ruby_roses]

[Fidget fidget. It's totally the point. Cookies are awesome.]

I-it's... not that noticeable... I mean... it's not like I'm anything out of the ordinary...

There's totally a good screencap for that. I just can't remember which episode..

[descendsfromshadow]

[Well, that's an interesting reaction.]

Are you... embarrassed about it?

I shall find it! *determined face is go!*

[ruby_roses]

All I ever hear about is how rare a scythe user is, and how difficult it is to use one... and... I'm nothing compared to my uncle. I'm not really all that talented, it doesn't come natural by any means... so... I'm not as special as everyone says I am...

[Is it any wonder she and Juane get along?]

It's totally out there.

[descendsfromshadow]

[Not. All that. Talented.

Okay....]

I'm just saying, scythe wielders are rare for a reason. I'm sure anybody using one would be enough to attract Professor Ozpin's attention.

[Not that a weapon like Gambol Shroud is all that common either. But that's a long story.]

[ruby_roses]

It took me years to just be able to swing Rose without hurting myself. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. That's all.

[Nope, not special at all.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[She rolls her eyes a bit at that.]

I almost took my arm off when I started using Gambol Shroud.

You're good enough for Beacon, Ruby, trust me.

[ruby_roses]

I still have a scar on my butt where I tried my first launch.

[She nods.]

I know. I'm not saying that... just... I know what Jaune's feeling with the whole "I'm not worthy" thing. I got past that in the Emerald Forest. I'm trying to explain to him he should have too...

[descendsfromshadow]

[She gets the feeling they could spend all day talking about how they almost killed themselves learning ridiculous weapons. That's not really the point though.]

It's not that simple. We've been doing this for years before we went to Beacon, but Jaune....

[Hmm, how to phrase this right.]

... Jaune might not have the experience he needs to make it at this level.
