The roof above them opens up a invisible roof top shielding them from the outside danger but not for the beauty. Andy smiles as she gazes at the night sky looking at the stars had always calmed her. She decides not to remove her faux arm and she slowly drifts off to sleep..
The guys wake before the girls do and what they see is a truly funny sight. Andy is sleeping her faux arm hanging off of the bed her eyes closed in slumber and her mouth open ...and Ruby and yang are practically hugging one another in sleep. Tai snaps a picture and Andy instantly wakes up her blood red hair whips back as she pulls her cane out and looks around for a threat. Tai! Qrow whispers. Oh! Sorry Andy! He says. He holds up his camera. The situation slowly processes in Andy's mind but her mouth doesn't upturn in a smile as she frowns instead and leans back against the wall her ears perked. Andy? Qrow asks in concern. It's nothing she says. She lets out a breath and shortens her cane before thinking better and extending it to help her balance as she touched the ground. There you are kid...Qrow says. Andy smiles and says well..I'm going to get changed she says right! Qrow says and she slips into the covered "changing area". I sort through the clothing I've got. Uh...I could um...I sigh and I grip my shirt with my faux hand and I pull on the shirt. Alright what's next. I turn and look at myself and stop myself from cursing. It's backwards. I gently turn it around and I gasp as I aggravate my bandages. I take a deep breath and and I pull on one of my sleeveless hoodies and then my tights and skirt. Last is my boots and I awkwardly braid my hair before brushing my teeth and putting on deodorant before deciding I'm presentable enough to spend the day on the train. I roll my eyes and clean up my mess before going out. The girls rush into the changing room suddenly and Ruby says they're charging! Oh alright I say and I sit on one of the benches. I turn and look at my self in the mirror. I smile slightly as I remember the wound I gave to my brother ...it wasn't as bad as mine no doubt but still. I touch my face smiling to myself. My long red hair is in a messy braid down my back and I'm wearing an elbow sleeved shirt that is light orange and my hoodie is off gray my skirt is lilac and my tights are black and my boots are brown. I grip my cane as I study it. It is very similar to
Ozpin's cane accept I've got a scythe blade hidden in mine as well as a day chamber. I also use it to channel my semblance. I touch my tail behind me and I wrap myself in its warm fur. All done! Ruby says. She puts on her cape and almost returns to the other room. Hold on there little sis. Yang knocks on the door. Hey! You ready?! Yeah! We're decent. Qrow! Yang shields Ruby's and my eyes. Both men are shirtless and yang grins. Yang! Sorry dad! She looks away. Smirking. Qrow! He laughs and then a few short moments later he says alright ladies now we're really decent. It's fine yang Tai says. Gosh! Yang says. Come on now girls! Qrow says. We're family now! They make their way to the dining hall. The next few days blend together as they are spent the same. Playing games in the cabin eating in the dining car...they stop in vale and yang and Ruby are tasked with taking Andy shopping for school. They all start tomorrow. Awww! Ruby says. That was the deal kiddo! Ok! She says grabbing Andy's hand. Hey! Be ...careful. Andy says as Ruby pulls it clean off. People passing by cover their mouths and stare. Andy just freezes as she feels her stump ...Ruby gently goes over to Andy and slips it back onto her arm and as if a switch is turned on Andy goes back to "normal" and follows the girls to the clothing store. The woman stops them. We don't serve her kind here. She says. Well we won't want your clothing then! Ruby says sticking her tongue out. Yeh! It's ok Ruby there's always other shops. She says not even looking at the snooty looking woman. She sees the dust shop man and he nods to her and she smiles and nods in return. She goes over to him. Everything quiet lately? Uh huh. Good. Andy says. She keeps walking and ruby says you know him? Sure. I'd tip him off if my dear old brother was planning a raid. Then a huntsman would just happen to be there at the right time. That's pretty clever yang says. Did he not catch on? It wouldn't be the same huntsman. It couldn't be. I couldn't stop him every time anyway that would've been too obvious they knew that. I just returned the dust to them when I could. Andy shrugs. They come to another shop. The man comes to the door and shakes his head. Andy's fists clench. Shop after shop turn them away. She turns back before they get to the shady part of town. Come on guys I know a decent place to get some food. She knocks a code into the door and a man with large owlish eyes and owl ears answers the door. Who dares to knock at the guarded entrance? He asks. Those who seek the wisdom of the past. Andy! He says opening the door. These humans he says - they're my family now Al. Wonderful! He says. Come on in he says. He leads them into a low lit dining area with low tables and all manor of Faunus families. This is one of the only underground safe havens for the Faunus Andy whispers. And no none of these people are in the fang. Yang nods. Wow! Ruby says her eyes lighting up. There's so many. Ruby please ...sorry! She whispers. They are seated at a table on a small platform at the edge of the room. The man who greeted them comes back over. Andy! My dear girl! My you have grown! He says. His eyes sadden when he sees her new arm. You ...you've been in a fight he says and everyone looks over. Andy frowns but she says it was Adam he did this. Al's face clears. And the chatter resumes it's low calm pace. That's terrible he says. A kind general gave me this Andy says. I'm doing what I can to make it better Al ...it does go both ways. Indeed he says smiling at Ruby and yang. Well ..what are your names girls he says. I'm Ruby rose and I'm yang Xiao Long he says. Ruby puts an arm around Andy. We're all sisters now she says. Andy became our friend a few years ago..and now we are just making it official. Al smiles and wipes a tear that's wonderful he says. I am glad that there are still..good people in the world. Human and Faunus. Here here! Someone calls. Now what can I get you ladies tonight all on the house he says. Al..no he says I insist he says. I did have a question. Anything my dear. Do you know where a girl can buy some clothes and well anything really. We didn't want to go into the stores without her Ruby says. They were being really weird she says Andy is one of the best people I know! Al smiles. I know just what to get you girls. He says. Thanks Al. He comes back with a plate of chocolate chip cookies, a pitcher and glasses for milk, a variety of sandwiches, potato chips, and some fruit and some soda. Thanks al. Of course dear enjoy girls! He says. Yang gets a call on her scroll. She answers it. Hey dad! We're having a bite. Where? Andy shakes her head. It's ...with a friend of Andy's. Ok. No. Why? Because well...yeah. That. She says. Yeah. That'll be fun she says. Ok. Meet you there one hour she says. Yang hangs up. We have to go she says. What's wrong? There's activity and we need to get to the train that'll take us into patch. Al! Leaving me already? Andy gives al a look. What's wrong. Yang come over here with me and al. Ok. Ruby ...don't go anywhere ok! She says still eating the cookies and milk. Yang Al is a huntsman. Andy says bluntly he set his up so families could be here and be safe. Where is the activity? Near the shops yang says. They're stealing dust again humm..Al says. Most of these families live in patch and work here he says. I'll see about getting them out safely
He says. Can your ..Uncle and dad - yes can they help with that? Sure. Yang says. Hold on. She calls her dad back and explains the situation to him. Just onto the train? Al nods. Yang gives him a thumbs up. We all move slowly through the streets Al had given me a big bag full of food to take with me and Ruby a tin of cookies earning him a ruby hug. Eventually we help all of the families get onto the train into the Faunus car and I go with Ruby and yang.
