What happens when... someone disappears?

[Private to Yang]

...

Can we talk?

Comments

[strengthinkindness]

Y-Yes...Most likely right at the time they were brought here from their world...So more than anything, they should be all right...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Right at the time they left, huh?

That would explain why neither of us noticed Yang leaving, though she said she'd been here for about a month...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] That sounds about right...They would also arrive in the same state as they left, so nothing will seem out of place when they get back.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

It's good to know Ruby will be alright.

[...]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

...Will you?

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Yes. I'm just not sure yet how her sister will take it.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...she had a sister here? [That makes it really hard.] You all are good friends, huh?

[video]

[onemorechapter]

She did, though you might not know it. [A note of amusement.] She and Yang don't look much alike.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[A small smile.] Some siblings are like that...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

Yeah. I guess you've got a point, there.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[A small smile, though there's still a touch of concern.] Are you sure you'll be all right? I...know how hard it can be when friends are sent back home...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

I'll be okay.

I've been... without friends before, and Yang is still here. It'll be fine.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

...It's different...to be without friends...than to lose them once you've had them, though...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

[...]

Still not as bad...

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She paused for a moment, trying to think of how to ask this without sounding rude.]

Was...she one of your...first friends?

[video]

[Blake is silent for a few moments, clearly thinking. Then she sighs lightly, having made up her mind.

This was a sore spot, but... this Chosen was clearly not from her own world. She wouldn't have certain preconceived notions, and Blake felt a little freer talking in this one than she did at home.

It was almost nice.]

In a way. When I was younger I was involved in... some political trouble, growing up in part of a resistance movement. It was rough, and though I wouldn't say I was friendless, you never knew who would be there the next day.

Eventually the group turned violent so, I left. The other members of Team RWBY- Ruby, a girl named Weiss, and Yang -as well as others I've met since arriving at the school we were at, have all become a.. cherished group of real friends.

[...]

I'm going to miss her. [At least until she managed to go home too.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...I see...That must have been so hard...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

It wasn't easy. Growing up under a stigma never is.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

I'd imagine it wouldn't be...

I'm glad you have friends now though.

[video]

[onemorechapter]

So am I.

[Then the more she looks at her, the more past words float back.]

...You're Fluttershy, aren't you?

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinks, her expression turning a bit curious as she stared.

What was that...?]

Y...Y-Yes, I am...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

I thought so.

Your Digimon told me about you, when I first addressed the other Chosen on the network. A shy, kind pegasus.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushed a little.] O-Oh...I see... [She didn't remember hearing about her, though it could have been during the time she was missing.

She tries to let it go, but eventually she can't help it.]

U-Um...I...I hope you don't mind me asking, but...

[video]

[onemorechapter]

[The very definition of quiet curiosity.]

Yes?

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

W-Well, it's just...y-your bow...It...It looked like it...moved...?
