{ it's around lunchtime when he sends the message, not sure of what ruby's routine is or if she's currently working somewhere. it seemed like the safest time to try. }

Hello again,
Apologies it's been a while, but I was wondering how you were doing? Have you made any further progress with the combat training business you were considering?
-Ayato.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[He hit her up at a wonderful time, catching her at lunch. She’s able to settle down enough to write back.]

Hello, Ayato!

I’ve made some progress - i got a large building we can use for the school, but I need time for equipment. Been quite busy because of certain things.

- Ruby

[acquirement]

{ it was either lunch or in the evening, but she seemed like the kind of person to keep pretty busy - at least from how excitable she seemed. }

I'm glad to hear it. What do you need for equipment? Would it be anything I could try and help with?

{ if anything he needs all the work and distractions he can get at the moment }

[silver_eyes_rose]

[It would take a few minutes for Ruby to respond back as she had to think of things to get.]

Well, I would need training equipment, like fighting dummies. Something that can handle weapons. I know some people have incredible powers that go beyond what this world can do, so maybe a lot of them.

Maybe things to build a training course?

Maybe I can ask others to donate weapons.

Action, morning of October 31st

[It's late morning when Weiss sets out to find Ruby, wherever in the house she is. She holds a tray with two mugs full of steaming coffee. Well, one is clearly coffee anyway. The other is so pale one could reasonably mistake it for chocolate milk.]

Happy Birthday, Ruby.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[And she’ll find Ruby in her room, giving Crescent Rose a tube up. She looks up to see Weiss with the mugs, a smile now on her face.]

Weiss! Ah, thank you!

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss hands Ruby the pale one, taking the more bitter brew for herself.]

Here's your coffee-flavored cream. It gets easier for me to make it every time, but I never feel any less dirty...

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby giggled as she put away the weapon before taking to cup.]

Oh, it’s not that bad.

Action, a few days after the Fairy Realm mission.

[notbornguilty]

Ruby? There's... something I kind of need to talk to you about. It's something I think you should know, and maybe you'll have an idea as to how I should react to it?

[With that, Weiss slightly unsteadily walks out into the living room.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

What’s wrong, Weiss? You can tell me.

[notbornguilty]

I wouldn't say anything is wrong per say, but... Well, you're aware of how my Summoning works, yes? I can call up the form of defeated foes to serve me?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Uh-huh! It’s really useful, too! Did it… expand?

Delivery

[alljustforher]

Ruby receives a selection of different Rose-shaped pastries as a present, as well as a pair of fluffy mittens. The note simply says "Happy Holidays - Homura"

UN: Shatteredthemirror, Late April to early May

[notbornguilty]

Hey Ruby, look what I found while exploring Nightwake. Yang once told me you love these places?

[Attached to the text is a picture of a shop, one apparently selling Boba tea.]

You know I'm usually more of a coffee girl, but I could be convinced to give it a try.

((OOC: In other words, I saw the last RWBY Beyond and it gave me feelings.))

[silver_eyes_rose]

Where are you?! I’ll meet you there!

[notbornguilty]

[Weiss sends Ruby an address, and shortly after that some coordinates. She takes a seat inside the cafe to wait for Ruby to arrive.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

[And it takes a moment for Ruby to arrive.]

Am I late?

Action, morning of October 31st

[notbornguilty]

[It's not long after Ruby wakes up in the morning that Weiss comes out of the kitchen, holding two mugs. One is her usual dark brew in the endless mug that makes it even more bitter, the other is just straight up hot chocolate.]

Happy Birthday, Ruby. And a happy Halloween, while I'm at it.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[It takes a moment for Ruby to register what was said before her eyes shine. It was those days weren’t they?]

Oh! Thank you, Weiss! I can count on you to remember!

[notbornguilty]

Naturally! Although, I do have a bit of a confession to make. I could not for the life of me think of anything to get you. To make up for that, are there any requests you have? I'll do my best to get anything you want, or do anything you want from me.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, gosh, that’s a good question! How does dinner and a movie sound, hm? Or just dinner?

Having you and Nia here more than makes up for anything else.

Action, December 25th

[notbornguilty]

[In a rare twist, Weiss had actually woken up before Ruby this morning. Call it a Christmas miracle, or call it Weiss specifically planning for this exact situation, but either way she snuck into the kitchen while Ruby was still asleep. The smell of pancakes, sausages, and of course coffee wafts through the house, and if that's not enough to wake Ruby up on it's own, Weiss soon knocks on the door to her room.]

Merry Christmas, Ruby.

[silver_eyes_rose]

[It takes a moment for Ruby to wake up, but the wonderful smell of breakfast combined with Weiss knocking on the door does it. She’ll be up and at the door opening it.]

Ah…! Merry Christmas, Weiss!

[notbornguilty]

So I did get the name of the holiday right.

[It wasn't exactly a thing on Remnant.]

How does breakfast in bed sound?

Holiday Present Delivery

[alljustforher]

[Ruby gets a delivery of cookies she made and a note of wishing Happy Yuletide.]
