weiss do any of your glyphs enhance height because i'm ready to grow another foot

           glance over her shoulder , frown formed on mouth. ❛     no , i don’t. ——— nor would i even if i did.     ❜ she hung her dresses on hangers , smoothing her fingers over soft fabric , lacquered nails tracing lacey sleeves before she put it in her closet. door shut with an affirm ‘ clack ‘ she turned on heel towards ruby. with advantage of artificial height , she was taller only by a few inches than her adventurous leader. curiosity nipped at the schnee. it was a strange request from her since she had never heard her complain about her shortness. ❛     what’s the reason anyway ? you never seemed to be bothered by your height before.     ❜

A BLUR OF BLACK & RED crashes into her partner , giggling TUMBLING FROM lips as the younger wraps her arms around the other. ' GUESS WHAT TODAY IS?? '

the girl who had been gazing at her scroll, reading the latest entry on huntress tales  was much too engrossed to notice the buzzing red ran straight for her. crash ! the scroll went flying out of her hand, soaring through the air leaving the heiress on a cliffhanger. the device clattered to the floor as snow haired tipped backwards something heavy landing on her.  her hands scrambled for the scroll desperate to read what was the conclusion to the tale. ( what happened to the huntress camellia ? she had been cornered by bandits with grimm closely approaching ! )

a loud voice blasted through her peace, her eardrums suffering. blinking up at the familiar face, she sighed as she rolled her eyes. ❝ hello, ruby. it’s tuesday. october 31st, hallo —❞ she sucked in her breath, ❝ it’s your birthday. ❞ arms returned the hug before she pressed against the little red’s shoulders so she could sit up. the novella could take a backseat for now. 

❝ — what would you like to do ? ❞ weiss asked, tilting her head to the side. brows lifting at the sight of the overexcited ball of speed &. petals in front of her.

she knocks gently on weiss’ door as best she can with a tray in her hands, waiting only a short moment before pushing it open & peeking her head inside. ‘ weiss ? ‘ ruby asks, waiting a short moment before pushing the door open further, revealing a tray in her hands, a kettle & two cups set on top. ‘ i know you’re more of a coffee person, but ... blake found this nice tea store in town & we just got a bunch of teas from there, so —— d’you wanna share some with me? it’s oolong. ‘ she smiles.

           surprise colored her face when ruby appeared , tattered red cape followed in her wake. the aroma of tea dissipated into the pores of the walls ; plumes of smoke grew slumberous as they rose towards the ceiling.   her shoulders moved forward from where they were pressed against the headboard , figure slumped , blue hues skimming over a novel on her scroll. setting aside the electronic device , she watched her fearless leader move across the expanse the space between them. a whisper of a smile bubbled to gaping mouth at the kind gesture. it had been a long time since they had shared a cup of anything just between her partner &. her. they were two opposites in almost everything from beverage preferences to personalities , but their goal was essentially the same.  ———  to protect remnant.  

             scooting to the corner of her bed , she nodded her head to the seat beside her.  ❛     thank you , i would love some.     ❜ pause came , words flitted on petaled lips before they curved in amusement. ❛     as long as it doesn’t steep for  ——    ❜ hand stifled soft giggle before the punchline. ❛     o —   o — oolong !!     ❜ oh my ! she was awful at puns.

smooches her cheek.

           rosy blush surfaced on face at the surprise. the gesture broke her concentration on the weathered volume within her grip. eyes stared in a daze across the quiet , dimlit library before bringing them back to the lil’ red cap at her side.  blinking dark lashes at rapid pace , she leaned forward to place kiss ‘pon the petaled speedster’s forehead. ❛     ——— thank you.     ❜

nyooms in here

          rose petaled trail danced within air , ghostly white strands of hair blew up in her face in the gust. anger simmered underneath alabaster skin , seeping to the surface as irritation. knives sharp tonality rang out from throat , ❛     ———  RUBY ROSE !  you know how i feel about your speed messing up my hair !     ❜

WEISS IT'S REALLY COLD, CAN I BORROW SOME FIRE DUST????

           CERULEAN EYES NARROW as her red caped leader blocked her line of sight from the view. ——— puppy dog looks with lashes blinking. as if cuteness would let her gain brownie points for the dangerous request. that tactic only worked on yang &. that was because the blonde puncher adored her lil’ crusader sibling. ———  but on her ? as if ! there was no way she would fall for that again … not after the countless shenanigans ruby had gotten her roped into back at beacon.  ❛     if you’re going to fire it off from crescent rose then no. that will end very , very badly. also you can start a fire without fire dust !     ❜

‘ weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them. ’

           SCOFF LEFT LIPS , soon joined by signature roll of sapphire irises. there were flowers that at first glance looked like weeds. however, petaled pretty the weed seemed , it festered &. three more grew in its place. it would not stop multiplying until the weed had strangled everything in its path just to grow bigger &. more powerful. trampling ‘pon a beautiful garden until there was no life left. every true bloom , no matter how ugly or breathtaking , breathed last breath. there were no room for weeds in her short existence here in remnant , she’d rather spend her days cultivating buds &. watch them grow with careful eye. 

         tilt of chin , she sighed , hues cast downward at the grass , darkest thoughts percolating within chest.    ❛     no. weeds will always be weeds , no matter how pretty they seem.  ———  what a childish thought but coming from you , that’s no surprise.     ❜

@nowthorn.

 worry becomes apparent within ruby’s eyes ,  brow upturned as she seats herself beside her partner.    ❛    it’s sort of obvious that you’re not ,    ❜    her voice is quiet and gentle ,  a contrast to the normal bombastic behavior ruby so well presented.    ❛    weiss ,  we’re teammates ,  you can tell me what’s wrong …    ❜  // from.

          WRINGING HANDS , GAZE fixed upon them. they were dry &. weathered by the harsh conditions she had faced over the last several weeks.  ———  so , this was the life of a huntress. ———   correction ! a huntress to be. her journey most likely paled in comparison to a full fledged huntress , seasoned with wisdom &. experience. lungs expanded , breath shook loose from icy confines. there was no point in hiding. her team leader would prod until she exploded in anguish.  ❛     i do not know what atlas has in store for me , ruby. i did not leave on the best of terms.      ❜

[mosaickd-a]

hugs her & runs off >:L she looked like she needed one

mirror… — mirror. 

              what are you ?

list them off ice queen, you stone-hearted girl ! it was as if the glass smiled, pointing to all her insecurities. her hand shaking at her reflection. thin, so easily shattered. false safety &. security from the outside world. prison. mocking to see the world through a twisted version of rose colored glass. oh, these scarlet tinted panes reflected what evil &. harsh edges existed outside the walls. 

a hesitant step forward, a step back. what if she broke apart what little she had built ? what a tiny palace of friends &. actual raw happiness. — she dared to tap on the metaphorical glass, testing it. could she live without it ? COULD SHE ?

gangly arms envelope her as someone pulled her into their embrace. the looking glass fell from her hand. lifting arms away from the sign of affection, deterred from it. grimace came but softened once she learned it was from a friend rather than a foe. she disappeared as once she came in a flurry of petals &. a light giggle over the gust. breathing in a deep breath, she would take the step forward. a smile upon her visage, gleamed bright.  

                — you’re nothing but sand to me. &. sand castles will cease to exist when the tides rise.  ​

❝ ruby ? is that you ? ❞ she asked as if she had seen an illusion of her former leader, her friend. after all this time, could it be ? the ripped cape, dirtied tights were an indication that she had been through some unfortunate circumstances. ❝ you look like — ❞ a snippy comment about her disheveled appearance was going to leave her lips but the nonchalant &. snide persona fell away. heels clacked across the expanse of the mistrali square &. she brought the girl into an embrace. ❝ — you could use a hug. ❞ tears, dripped from her eyes, her voice giving into laughter.  ❝ i missed you so much. ❞

❛ I knew you could take care of yourself. ❜

did her crystalline orbs deceive her ? they blinked to stay open as she fell sluggish beneath the weight of her escape from her mirrored prison. no, they did not ! — there the flash of a red cape, worrn, torn. put through the pits of tartarus flashed. the childlike grin, the makeshift huntress, rocking back on broken soles. her mind cried friend and then her prim and proper facade fell. the fragile masquerade mask of strength to hide her weary bones — shattered. the crack of it within the crevice of her mind made her bolt towards the red. heels thudded against the sodden soil, pain from blister covered feet, no longer a concern of her’s ! the icy girl was once again reunited with her team leader, her friend… her sister in arms and in life. white and red melded as the snow touched wound her thin arms around her friend. 

how embraces could change over time. she had never thought that this once annoying, immature silver eyed postulant would grow before her into a wonder molded of whimsy, strength, and so much kindness — she earned the title of a true student of the esteemed beacon, of a huntress. these ruminations about the little red never were to leave her stony form — but they were there. the hug from the the slayer now meant comfort, meant that she no longer had to be what society expected her to be which was perfection in human likeness. a laugh or was it a sob ? wretched free from her lungs and flew into the daylight of the forest. 

❝ of course i could ! ❞ snapping, her nose sniffing in wet air ? confusion on her brow, the runaway released her from the confines of her embrace. touching her alabaster face, she found herself leaking tears, already showing that she was human and much more than a stalwart statue. ❝ who would be able to scold you for taking off on yang ! of going on your own journey without your original team ? how dare you ! ❞ the words struck a blow at first but soon faded into a cheerful tone. the jovial sound of her voice made her heart spring. it had been ages since she felt safe to be happy. a smile that would not recede for hours became visible. an exhale of wind later, her voice softened ,she whispered as she held ruby’s calloused hands, ❝ i missed you. ❞

“Hey, no, stop. You’re going to break your fingers punching like that.”

❝ ruby, can’t you tell that i’m angry !? — and i don’t care about perfect form or breaking my fingers. maybe then people would see that i am human. —that i can break just as easily as they do. ❞ she continued to pummel yang’s punching bag as her shoulders trembled against her rage. a person had spat at her today just because her name was schnee. how different it was from the social circles of atlas. once elevated, she was now the scum of the earth because of her money hungry wolf of a father. she had so much to prove but how would she prove that she wasn’t anything like him ? / training - sparring starters (a.)

❛ I fight the whole world for you if I have too. ❜

the pencil dropped out of her grip and made a muffled thump on the carpeting. gazing across the the table, her crystalline hues wavered. what did she just murmur ? the scarlet and raven tinted girl slept soundly as she murmured thoughts in her sleep. weiss’s gaze widened as her mind turned over the words and polished them. what ? bringing her knuckles to her mouth, she bit down on her finger. let the girl sleep. breaths, evened. whoever she was speaking to, did not deserve such devotion. the girl was the embodiment of everything good, innocent, and hope-filled. her hope and happiness spilled over as she spoke to each person, filling their hearts when they had none. no, ruby rose would not fight for anyone. ruby rose would be fought for. all of the heiress’ friends surely agreed with her sentiments. 

the quiet library enveloped them in silence. chair pushed back, she rose from the seat and went around to gaze at her slumbering team leader. pulling the cape over her, weiss muttered. ❝ you don’t have to do that for us, ruby rose. all of us should fight for you. ❞ placing thin digits on her hips, she scoffed, rolling her eyes. ❝ the world needs more people like you. ❞ thoughts splintering off into how many times ruby rose had made her friends happy. many. nodding, picked up her pencil and went back to studying. the work of a huntress fledgling was never over.
