[He's going to choose to ignore that.]

You know that chump Jaune might even make a half decent lackey. He has to be of some use if he could steal and lie his way into such a prestigious academy.

Maybe he'll consider a life of crime if things don't work out for him as a Hunstman.

[ruby_roses]

[Glare]

You leave Juane out of this.

[roman_candle]

Did I strike a nerve there, Red?

You know it's true though; he's bumbling, he's a dolt, he lies and he steals. Perfect lackey right there.

[ruby_roses]

And yet he's three times the man you are. At least he tries to do what's right. [Lying his way into Beacon aside.]

You're just a coward.

[roman_candle]

Hmph, and how long will that last? Eventually he'll fail and get kicked out that cushy school he lied his way into. He'll return home as disgrace to his family name.

After awhile the shame will get to him and he'll turn to a life of petty crime, happens all the time.

[ruby_roses]

See, that's where you're wrong.

Pyrrha, Nora, Lie Ren, Yang, Blake, Weiss and I aren't about to let that happen. He's going to make it if we have to drag him kicking and screaming. He's come too far to just give up on his dream.

[roman_candle]

That's nice, I'll keep a spot open for him though just in case the lot of you can't keep him from failing.

[ruby_roses]

Then you'll be waiting a long time, Roman.

Heck, I'll even save you a seat to watch him graduate.

[roman_candle]

Thanks kid, but I'll pass on watching a chump graduate.

[ruby_roses]

[Shrug.]

Can't blame me for trying. I mean, getting you to walk into a room full of Hunters and Huntresses? Not even your boss could save you from all that.

[roman_candle]

What can I say? There's an upside to being smarter than the help you hire.

Like I'd fall for something like that.

[ruby_roses]

So you have a couple brain cells to rub together. Big whoop.

[roman_candle]

More than you can say Red.

[ruby_roses]

Yeah, because I'm just a big dumb idiot. And yet I'm in the most prestigious Hunter Training School in all of Vale. I may not be anything special in terms of fighting, but I'm not dumb.

[roman_candle]

Could have fooled me.

[ruby_roses]

Says the guy who underestimated me.

[roman_candle]

Says the girl who'd be dead if a certain huntress didn't show up.

I didn't underestimate anyone, I reacted to the situation.

Not my fault those goons can't fight their way out of a paper bag.

[ruby_roses]

Oh please, it would've taken more than that to take me down.

[Totally bluffing, but, must not concede any points to the enemy!]

Maybe you should hire more teenage girls. We seem to be able to fight better than career criminals. Heck, those twins at least slowed Yang down. Slightly.

[roman_candle]

Right, keep telling yourself that Red.

[He'll shrug.]

It's an idea, I'll give you that.

[ruby_roses]

And you keep telling yourself what you... are... [Great comeback, Ruby.]

[That bit actually gets a grin.]

Good. I want a shot at 'em too.

[roman_candle]

[...That was an amazing comeback.

See how he's just staring blankly, that's means it was clever and he's not dumbfounded by how all his goons got beaten by her.


...He needs to get better help.]

[ruby_roses]

[Her grin fades a bit as she just looks awkward.]

Look, I'm not that great with the quick comebacks. Bite me.

[Huff.]
