Once they leave Ruby almost instantly notices that Andy lets out a bated breath. Andy? I..just need some air. Andy says. Want me to come with you? Sure Ruby...the other three look at each other and shrug. Ruby follows Andy into the harsh cold climate that is atlas. Andy doesn't seem as bothered by it and she looks out into the distance. An- I've never thought I'd want to think about that night since it happened Andy says suddenly. I...so much happened all at once. She looks at Ruby pitifully and takes off her own cloak and puts it around her before going on. I...I never thought about it. It was just something else different about myself. Andy closes her eyes. After that night I studied every piece of writing about it that I could hoping to find some explanation for what had happened. Andy? Ruby asks. Andy turns to her. Yes Ruby? What is this about? I'm getting there Rubes. Andy sighs. She closes her eyes again. The first night it happened Ruby that's what I'm talking about. Thankfully I wasn't ...my brother Andy says. He killed my parents by ...beating them senseless. Andy says. It was a bloody mess ...I couldn't stand it ...I remember screaming and everything hurt and then there was just whiteness ...and nothing. I woke up a few days later in the same spot in the grass my brother standing over me. I don't remember what he said when he screamed at me. He took me everywhere with him after that. When I started to learn he allowed it only because it would've benefited him. Andy sighs. I..used my silver eye power the night my parents died Ruby. I can control it now but if I had been able to before then—...oh Andy! Ruby hugs her friend as her shoulders shake. Andy...they end up sitting against the wall of the school as Andy cries. It's ok Ruby says. I lost my mother when I was around that age ...I don't really know what happened to her. Ruby says.  And Yangs mom left Ruby says. But Tai and Qrow they're not like that. Ruby says. And you're apart of my family now Ruby says. She smiles. Andy nods and allows Ruby to hug her. Aww! Yang! The firey girl sits down next to Andy and hands her a cup. Here little sis she says. She hands a cup to Ruby and takes out a large canister of hot coco. Come on guys they want to leave soon. They sit drinking their hot chocolate in companionable silence. Until Ruby helps Andy up and she helps her back into her cloak. We'll meet you up there Yang. Ok sis. They watch her go. Andy? Yeah. Will you teach me? About silver eyes. Ruby asks. As long as it's alright with your dad and uncle sure. YEAH! Ruby hugs Andy and they keep walking together. They catch up with the others and Qrow says I've got your things kid. He says holding up her small bag and Tai has two cases of dust. Thank you. Of course they both say. Andy looks back at the school one more time before following the others to the train that would take them into patch. It'll be a few nights ladies Qrow says as they go into their small cabin it has bunk beds and places for them to put their things as well as a fold out table and small tv screens. Compliments of roger Schnee himself. Andy sits on the top bunk with Ruby as they play a video game. Her left arm is shaking slightly as they play the game but she tries to pay no mind...TOTAL Anilation! Yay! My turn! Yang says and Andy sets her scroll down before climbing down to give yang a turn. She sits on the bottom bunk and steadies her left hand. Aww! It's ok you can play winner! Andy puts a thumbs up but it doesn't meet her eyes. She sits back on the bed on the bottom which is a double bed Ruby and yang are sharing the other bunks are twin sized. She takes out her own scroll and decides to message Weiss again.

Weiss?
I'm here.
How is it?
I've been grounded...I'm not allowed to leave the manor ...grandfather is furious ...
He found out?
He isn't angry with you Andy.
Are you and Winter ...
We are not physically harmed.
Winter ...she's back at the academy she's thankful for the escape even if I do not have that luxury...yet.
I like that line of thinking my friend.
I have to go Andy if farther caught me..
I understand. You were my first friend in a long time Weiss I hadn't see the others for years when I met you.
That means a lot Andy. And you..well I've always wanted to meet someone like you. I will inform Winter that you inquired about her ..she will appreciate that. Talk to you later my friend.
