A familiar face

Description:

(Recurring AU)

A beautiful day calls for some relaxation, and maybe an accidental afternoon nap. Hopefully nobody minds too much that Ozma is gone for little bit.

The careful breeze blew across the rolling hills of the kingdom gently. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly, not a cloud to be seen in the blue sky, and all was at peace.

Ozma enjoyed days like these, days where he didn’t have to worry about his duties as a wizard or knight. Where he could just lay on the rolling hills of his home and relax.

He had accidentally fallen asleep on a hill somewhere away from the busy parts of the kingdom, he didn’t mind though, rest was nothing but good.

Perhaps he may have accidentally fallen asleep a few times when he did so. Ok maybe he fell asleep a lot when he did so, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

Ozma awoke to the sound of grass rustling nearby, heavy footsteps following in its wake along with the sound of jingling metal.

He cracked an eye open to see what had caused the disturbance. There, stood a tall man. He wore a plague doctor mask, shaped to the head of a crow, a large dark red cape decorated with silver embellishments and patterns draped over his shoulders, a cream colored and tattered tunic, simple black pants, and boots. He took off his mask to reveal the oh so familiar face underneath.

It was Void, a good friend and a good doctor. The taller man’s tawny and scar littered features were graced with a friendly smile, his crimson eyes full of amusement at the shorter man’s carelessness.

“Really? Again? You fell asleep out here again?”

Ozma smiled back “What can I say, I enjoy a calm day.”

“The day won’t be so calm when you get back home and realize how much Salem has been worrying about you.”

“Relax, I wasn’t in any trouble. Honestly, I think you need to learn to take a break once in a while, let yourself breathe. All that Doctor work has got to have you tense.”

Void scoffed “As if, I don’t have time to mess around and fall asleep on grassy hills Ozma. I’m a magic doctor and a medical doctor, I have patients I need to take care of.”

“Yes yes.” Ozma waved a hand at the man.

“What will you do when I am not around to wake you up?”

“I guess I will just have to wait and see.”

“Reckless fool.”

“Uptight bird.”

How would Qrow react if he somehow met Ozma? Like the original Ozma before his first death and meeting GoL

Oooooo. So, full discretion, I am aware and approve of the countercloqwise ship (and might be writing a fic - ). That said -

From what we see of Ozma, I imagine him to be the younger, more naïve version of Ozpin. His life seems to be wholly and effortlessly successful; he appears kind and chivalrous - a literal knight in shining armor figure. I think he would have a great deal in common with Ruby Rose in terms of purity of heart. (This is a theme suggested in canon, imo.)

Qrow is jaded, to say the least, and he might want to balk and complain about how naïve Ozma’s hero act seems to him, but Ozma’s resolution would win him over. Ozpin had to have, at some point in Qrow’s youth, reminded Qrow that the world is worth saving, that there are good things still worth fighting for. I think that philosophy came from the original Ozma. Even as Ozpin, reincarnated more times than he can count, Ozma’s underlying passion for saving those in need is a constant within his life. It doesn’t matter what version of Ozma or Ozpin Qrow knows - they all have enough in common to sweep him off his feet simply by loving the world.
