Syzygy, or Animus and Anima: Weiss and Jaune

Anima-Animus anon, here is your meta. I genuinely do think Weiss and Jaune are one of the best literary examples I've seen of animus and anima, respectively. This is not inherently a shipping meta, although you could read it that way.

Of note: I did talk about Jaune and anima before here in a larger meta about his arc, and about Weiss and animus here. But I want to talk about their arcs because they are complimentary, and really encapsulate how to write anima and animus pretty perfectly.

So let's go over it. What is anima? What is animus? How is Jaune one of Weiss's animuses? How is Weiss one of Jaune's anima? And what does this mean thematically for their arcs and the work of RWBY as a whole?

Jungian Archetypes

I have a whole meta on Jungian archetypes in RWBY. But I just want to quickly go over some of them because I'll use these terms in the meta.

Persona: the part of ourself we present to the public. It's usually somewhat fake, or at least societally acceptable.

Shadow: the part ourselves we repress because we do not want to acknowledge the parts of us that are selfish, hurting, weak. End goal: integration with the shadow and accepting that these are parts of you. In literature, the shadow is often negative or antagonistic if embodied in a character, because facing it requires facing character flaws. However, only by integrating with the shadow do we start to heal. It's necessary to become a complete person. Associated with the Black stage in alchemy, and with Blake.

Anima/animus: the feminine/masculine within ourselves. This can overlap with the shadow in some ways (for example, men often don't want to admit that they're weak). Anima/animus can be positive and negative. Associated with the White stage in alchemy, and with Weiss and Jaune. You don't have to interpret it as romantic, but it often is.

Self: The Self is the end goal of Jungian psychology: achieving individuation, or the fullness of being who you are and knowing your role in the world. Associated with the Red stage in alchemy, and with Ruby.

Syzygy: the union of anima and animus.

Lastly, I want to disclaimer about the terms "masculine" and "feminine" here. Jung was writing at a time when gender binaries and roles were very much a thing. Of course they apply less today (and RWBY deliberately plays with some of these, as we'll see). But when I use the term "masculine" or "feminine" in this meta I mean in the traditional sense Jung is talking about. Masculine=bravery, physical power, fear of the weak. Feminine=beauty, emotions, kindness, etc. Please note this is clearly oversimplified and I am not endorsing this, just explaining a pattern that Jung pointed out in regards to literature.

Jaune and Anima

Between anima and animus, anima is more likely to be romantic in fiction. That's because Jung associated anima with something he called Eros (Greek for romantic/sexual love). A man's anima is also almost always one person at a time. This is not the case with animus, as we'll see.

Hence, the two women associated with Jaune's anima are Weiss and Pyrrha.

The previous meta I did on Jaune's arc makes a strong argument that Pyrrha firstly embodies his anima. She almost perfectly goes through the first three of four stages of anima in regards to how Jaune views her, which are:

Eve (mother)

Helen (romantic interest)

Mary (religious devotion)

Sophia (wisdom, guide to the inner life)

I would also argue that Pyrrha embodies Sophia too here, but the living Sophia is also Weiss. Sophia is Greek for "wisdom," and both the official RWBY Twitter account and the show itself make the connection explicit for us, with the Curious Cat calling Weiss "wise Huntress."

But it's also deeper than just stages here. Jaune's entire arc is about the rejection of toxic masculinity and the embrace of his own role as maiden. Only through becoming a Maiden (in other words, embracing the feminine within) can he become a Knight (the man he was meant to be).

Jaune As The Maid of Orleans

Jaune's allusion is, of course, Jeanne d'Arc. He has a feminine allusion, which tells us to expect his integration with the inner feminine. Joan of Arc was also know as three things:

A spiritual guide to France in wartime

A soldier/knight

A maiden

In real life, Joan of Arc was dismissed because she was just a girl... until she started actually winning battles and her predictions came true. God or not, there's something really powerful and intriguing and eerie about her story. Joan of Arc referred to herself as "Jeanne la Pucelle," or "Joan the Maiden."

But what is a Maiden? In Joan's time, it literally meant "virginity," because there was a prophecy that France would be restored by a virgin. In other words, her virginity was a strength--spiritually, at the time period, her going to war with men yet maintaining her virginity was seen as a sign of righteousness (yes, it was very anti-sex).

In RWBY, a maiden is also hardly a weakness. No, a Maiden is a specific type of power.

It's also associated with martyrdom.

Jaune has had special relationships with several of the Maidens in the series: firstly, Pyrrha, who chooses to kiss him (a nice pro-sex commentary honestly) before dying as a Maiden even though the power had not been transferred to her. Pyrrha ends up a martyr like Joan of Arc, but her legacy, like Joan's lives on. Pyrrha embodies what Jaune should become.

Penny, of course, dies as a martyr too. She is stabbed by Cinder and there isn't time to save her. Jaune, who defines himself as a healer thanks to his semblance, has no choice but to kill her so that Penny stays in control of her destiny. It's tragic, but like Pyrrha, it isn't empty.

Of course, Cinder has now killed Jaune's first love interest, tried to kill another (Weiss), and then made Jaune into a killer via stabbing Penny. Hence, Jaune and Cinder are also linked, and the message of what a maiden should be, and what destiny is--the message Pyrrha carried, the message of choice embodying destiny that Penny carried--is something I suspect Jaune will give to Cinder before the end.

Still, all of these incidents, the three big alchemical deaths of the series--Black Death, White Death, and Yellow Death (Crocea Mors)--involve Jaune and specifically switch the gender of what you would expect from a hero.

The Knight is supposed to protect the Maiden. Instead, the Maiden kisses Jaune and locks him away to save him while she fights Cinder. Jaune is supposed to protect the Maiden, but she (Weiss) gets impaled precisely because he couldn't get over his previous failure to save Pyrrha. This time, though, he saves Weiss.

The thing is, though, that healing is traditionally a feminine attribute. Hence, Weiss lives and Jaune heals because, symbolically, of his ability to embrace the inner feminine.

Lastly, the Knight is supposed to save the Maiden. But instead, saving the Maiden looks like becoming the monster himself, like becoming his shadow (which Cinder is). It shatters his sense of self, as we've been seeing throughout Volume 9.

If a Knight is also a dragon killing a maiden, who is he?

Jaune As The Rusted Knight

Jaune's sword is broken, and he intensely clings to this persona of "knight who saves" the entire volume. But by intensively insisting on saving the Paper Pleasers, he doesn't realize he's repeating what Ironwood et al did to Penny: refusing to allow them their own right to choose their destiny. He also fails to save Alyx.

Jaune's "knight who saves" persona has been a key part of his character since the first season. He cheats to get into Beacon because he wants to be a hero and carry on his family's legacy. He's embarrassed to be so weak, but the only way to become strong is to rely on women. Team RWBY, Pyrrha, even Nora and Ren (who don't fit gender stereotypes themselves).

Pyrrha literally trains Jaune. Notably, whenever Jaune relies on male advice, he fails. In fact, his knight persona is precisely why Weiss doesn't like him at first (not just romantically; like, at all.)

Weiss: (separating the two) Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?

Jaune: Not in the slightest, snow angel.

Jaune: I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong? (accepts Ruby's offered hand and uses her to lift himself back up)

Yang: "Snow Angel" probably wasn't the best start.

Jaune's confidence and understanding of women coming from his dad instead of like, actual women, means he's going to make an arse of himself. And he does. At first.

But, Jaune starts to integrate with the feminine through not just Pyrrha training him physically, but also through doing things like dressing up as a princess and going to the dance like that to honor his word to Pyrrha. He gets closer to Weiss by talking to Neptune about feelings rather than by impressing her through feats of strength. He then saves her life via delving into a traditionally feminine power. And in the end of Volume 9, he is restored to his young self via Alyx, the girl he thought he couldn't save.

Weiss and Animus

Oh boy, animus.

Okay, so... Jung did not write nearly as much about animus as he did about anima. Supposedly that's because he's a dude and recognized that he could not actually experience animus. Fortunately, his wife Emma wrote a lot about it, as did some direct colleagues (like Marie-Louise von Franz) who specifically applied animus to its portrayal in fairy tales.

Animus differs from anima in a few key ways. The centrality of the concept--that it's the masculine within a woman--remains the same. However, animus:

is not usually limited to just one person at a time like anima;

doesn't follow stages nearly so neatly (they exist but are a bit... debatable)

is not inherently based on Eros, or a romantic understanding. No, instead animus is based on Logos.

What is Logos? Logos is literally "word" in Greek, but the actual usage is more akin to "mind" or "spirit." Weiss, of course, is a mind character. It can also refer to the principle of the matter. In other words, a woman looks for her masculine traits in a principle she holds dear.

Jung himself said:

The male personification of the unconscious in the woman — the animus — exhibits both good and bad aspects, as does the anima in man. But the animus does not so often appear in the form of an erotic fantasy or mood [as the anima often does to men]…even in a woman who is outwardly very feminine the animus can be an equally hard and inexorable power. One may suddenly find oneself up against something in a woman that is obstinate, cold and completely inaccessible.

Weiss as Princess Snow White

Weiss starts off possessed by her negative animus, the Logos or principle.

What is animus/anima possession? It's specifically a negative manifestation of the animus (or anima) wherein someone behaves overwhelmingly like their masculine side--but in a negative sense. In other words, for Weiss, this looks like a persona of toxic masculinity.

Possession caused by the anima or animus presents a different picture... The animus is obstinate, harping on principles, laying down the law, dogmatic, world-reforming, theoretic, word-mongering, argumentative, and domineering.

I kinda do think this sounds like early-volume Weiss. But it also sounds like... Jacques Schnee.

See, the animus is also often a reflection of a woman's father. Even though Weiss is determined to prove herself without her father's influence by the start of the series, we also see that she is in some ways behaving like him. Of course she's not nearly so ruthless or bigoted, but she does maintain some prejudice about faunus, maintains entitlement (demanding to be leader of RWBY), tells off Ruby for accidents, etc. She's denying her femininity.

But then her development starts, and with this, her animus changes. Who are her animus?

Well, as I said above, animus has multiple presentations, and for Weiss they're specifically unique... because some of them are women. Make of that what you will, shippers and headcanoners. I'm not just going off of nowhere in saying that I think some of Weiss's masculine animuses are women, either; I'm specifically talking about it in regards to Weiss's allusion of Snow White.

You can find numerous fairy tale analyses with animus/anima interpretations. Snow White is one of the most obvious ones. But Weiss's Snow White is genderbent... mostly. Except for her.

See, in the Grimm version of the fairy tale, Snow White's father is alive. He just does absolutely nothing to stop his wife from abusing Snow White. In this story, Willow, Weiss's mother, is the absent one, doing absolutely nothing to stop Jacques from abusing her children. As a result, we have the Shadow develop--in the fairy tale, the Shadow is the Evil Queen. In Weiss's story, it's Jacques. He is who she doesn't want to be, but does have similarities to especially in her persona.

Snow White then meets nine other men. Yes, there are a total of ten male characters, and they are all aspects of animus. In the original Snow White fairy tale (reference this analysis), we can break it down as such:

Absentee dad

Huntsman

Seven Dwarves

Prince

In this, we can see slow progression of Snow White's integration with her masculine side.

Firstly, it's denied to her (she's completely out of balance) because her father refuses to take any action and is never mentioned again.

Secondly, the Huntsman takes action and spares Snow White from the queen, but also doesn't exactly help her. He sends her off into a dangerous forest to fend for herself.

Thirdly, we see reciprocity finally appear. Snow White helps the dwarves, but they also help her. It becomes a mutual relationship in which she learns from all seven of them.

Lastly, Snow White is revived thanks to the prince, who marries her as an equal.

When we compare this to Weiss's arc, we see similarities. Willow is absent, denying her what she needs. Then, Winter play the role of the Huntsman, helping Weiss forge her own way to a degree but still leaving her to rely on herself when she could maybe use a bit more help.

Thirdly, Weiss meets RBYJNPR: her seven dwarves. She learns how to be herself, learns who she is, in great part because of them.

Lastly, this volume we have her developing an attraction to Jaune, whom she knows and who has revived her. She gets to be fully Prince and Princess.

What About Stages?

The stages of animus, when they exist, are loosely defined (as in Jung himself didn't actually say this, but is often attributed as having said it) as:

Tarzan: physical power

Byron: man of action or romance

Lloyd George: man as a professor or orator

Hermes/Mercury: man as a spiritual guide

If we look at this through the lens of Weiss's arc, we do see traces of these. The physical power Weiss is attracted to is embodied in Winter and Pyrrha. I mean Weiss specifically calls out Pyrrha's physical strength when she meets her:

Weiss: So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself! Weiss: This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!

The man of action/romance is embodied in the Rusted Knight persona, and in Neptune, who is notably a giant flirt.

As a professor or orator, I would actually say there are many here. Klein, of course, reminding her who she is. Then there is Robyn, who is probably the most obvious orator in the story. Also Ironwood. Basically, thanks to Robyn having the election stolen from her, Weiss helps take down her dad. As a result, her mother returns to her (the feminine returning) and she is able to get Whitley to help save them all (integrating the masculine).

We also see a little bit of this later on with Jaune, in that Weiss expressly says she admires his maturity.

The technique of coming to terms with the animus is the same in principle as in the case of the anima; only here the woman must learn to criticize and hold her opinions at a distance; not in order to repress them, but, by investigating their origins, to penetrate more deeply into the background, where she will then discover the primordial images, just as the man does in his dealings with the anima.

We're not quite there with Hermes/Mercury, and I would bet that Jaune won't fully become gold or a spiritual guide unless he, well, has something to do with saving Mercury Black. The allusion is too literal not to be used.

Weiss as Knight

Weiss has always been a knight in addition to being Snow White, a maiden princess. Weiss defeats a knight-like creature (Arma Gigas) in the White trailer, and then goes on to be able to summon Arma Gigas as part of her semblance thereafter.

She's exceptionally talented in combat. In fact, the person Jaune calls to save Pyrrha when she's gone to fight Cinder is Weiss. He begs her to save Pyrrha, and Weiss promises him she will.

Sadly, just like Jaune in his attempts to be a knight, she can't, but not for lack of trying.

Later, in Volume 5, we see Weiss receive a power up that comes from her soul (another word for anima). The knight imagery becomes even more part of her semblance, as @aspoonofsugar has written. Notably, she summons Queen Lancer (literally referring to both the maiden-princess and knight archetype) after Jaune heals her in Volume 5. In other words, it's part of her integration with Jaune.

Then, Volume 8 happens, and Jaune again tries to rely on Weiss. He insists to Penny that "Weiss will buy us time" to heal Penny. And she would have tried (and probably died). But Penny tells Jaune that he's the one she needs to do something brave. It's his time to be a knight.

Weiss similarly expresses confidence that Jaune would have done the best he could after she arrives at the Ever After, unaware that he's fallen, too. Even as they go through the Ever After, Weiss affirms her Logos: herself, which is defined by her heroism and her failures.

Weiss: I don't know who you think you are, but let me tell you who I am. I am the granddaughter of a hero and the child of a villain. I am a citizen of a fallen kingdom and an heir to nothing. I will not be defined by my name because I will b e the one to define it. I am Weiss Schnee, and I am a Huntress.

And then we have the finale of Volume 9. Here, Weiss is the one to give Jaune words of wisdom, to encourage him after the Paper Pleasers return as jewels and Jaune realizes that he was not only holding them back, but holding himself back (literally, Jaune, despite being older, has not grown at all emotionally; he's stagnated. He's not a 40 year old in a teen's body; he was a teen in a 40 year old's body). Weiss tells Jaune what she told her younger self:

Jaune: I wanted the rush of rescuing someone, and I got that here.

Weiss: I think you're asking too much of yourself. We've been telling ourselves that failing means we're no good. But I can guarantee even the best Huntsmen in history? They've all lost. But they were still incredibly brave. And good.

In response to this, Jaune starts to cry (a traditionally feminine trait!), and Weiss asserts again what her Logos is: being a knight and a maiden, being brave and good, even when that means you can't save everyone.

So then they fight together, again.

But it's another reversal. The princess, instead of being saved by the knight, almost kills the knight with fire in a scene that comments on what happened with Pyrrha, Jaune saving Weiss, and Penny.

Integration of Knight and Maiden

What's interesting about the Pyrrha-anima-animus connection is that it is Weiss who introduces Jaune to Pyrrha in the first place. Weiss wants to be Pyrrha's partner, actually. She deeply admires Pyrrha, as shown as she says about her and Pyrrha in that first meeting:

Nothing can come between us now!

What immediately comes between them is Jaune. Literally.

But it's not Jaune coming between them in an icky two girls can't get along because of a boy love triangle way. No, instead it's the three of them united because of their relationships with each other.

In that same scene, the very first, we have Weiss literally asking Pyrrha to intervene and get Jaune away from her by throwing her spear... which she does. The symbolism of Weiss asking Pyrrha to throw her spear into Jaune is uh. It's Freudian. Let's leave it there.

In fact, Jaune's feelings for Pyrrha start to develop as a result of her training him physically and encouraging him about his crush on Weiss. Hence, Weiss has been a part of Jaune and Pyrrha's relationship since the start of it; all three of them have an inextricably intertwined relationship.

Then, when Pyrrha says goodbye to Jaune and kisses him, it's right before shoving Jaune into a locker, the same as the ones she met him in front of. This time, when Jaune's in trouble, he calls Weiss--understanding that he needs someone else to save Pyrrha, and trusting that Weiss can do it. Jaune calls Weiss, because she's a knight. Unfortunately, she can't save her.

In Volume 5, Jaune saves Weiss precisely because his grief over Pyrrha contributes to Cinder impaling Weiss. Pyrrha is central to Weiss and Jaune's bond. Pyrrha and Weiss have always been intertwined as Jaune's anima, and if they do end up going with romantic White Knight, they would never have happened if it weren't for Arkos.

While I often see early-volume!Jaune's feelings for Weiss dismissed as shallow, I don't think they actually are. I think they're immature, sure, but look at what he tells Ren about Weiss:

It's Weiss... I'm completely head over heels for her, and she won't even give me a chance. She's cold, but she's also incredible. She's smart, and graceful, and talented-- I mean have you heard her sing? I just wish she take me seriously, y'know? I wish I could tell her how I feel without messing it all up.

Jaune clearly always did see the actual Weiss, not just her beauty, physical strength, or name. Yes, he was initially attracted to her persona, but the undercurrent was always real. Even Snow Angel.

The problem is that Jaune could never be with Weiss if he remained in his Knight persona, expecting her to take the princess role. No, instead, they both have to be knight and princess.

Knight and maiden have never been more clearly integrated than in Volume 9's portrayal of Weiss and Jaune. Jaune is the legendary "Rusted Knight." But, he turns out to still be a Maiden literally waiting around a tower/house for rescue in the form of Team RWBY.

When the Jabberwalker comes, Jaune and Weiss fight together just like Bumbleby fight together; this is explicitly paralleled. (Also, Weiss kind of ignores her fighting partner, Ruby, which contributes to Ruby's feeling lonely; this isn't inherently wrong because they like, needed to stop the Jabberwalker, but it still, well, is, and is also emblematic of Ruby feeling left behind).

During this fight, Jaune tosses his sword to Weiss, who expertly wields it despite it being broken and then gives it back, therefore symbolizing that Weiss can be the knight, that she can be the masculine one, and letting her do so is actually not emasculating for Jaune. Instead, it's realization of his potential in being both knight and maiden.

(And, let's not get into the very very basic Freudian symbolism 101 of a woman using a man's sword.)

The Maiden, instead of being saved by the knight, almost kills the knight with a baptism of fire.

In fact, in Jung's own writing on the philosophical tree (yes, really), he notes this:

The lapis signifies the inner man... the natura abscondita which the alchemists sought to set free. In this sense the Aurora consurgens says that through baptism by fire "man, who before was dead, is made a living soul." ... The genuineness or in-corruptibility of the stone is proved by the torment of fire and cannot be attained without it. This leitmotiv runs all through alchemy.

What is funny here is that Jung uses "lapis" here to mean the philosophical stone, which is most commonly called a ruby. But it can be a sapphire, or apparently a lapis lazuli. Go google the color lapis and tell me that that is not exactly Weiss's dress color.

Like Joan of Arc, Jaune is consumed by the fire. He is coagulated after the dissolution of the Paper Pleasers. But instead of coming forth as ashes, he comes forth as gold... with some growth still ahead and with some white streaks in his hair, symbolizing integration with the feminine (white=feminine in alchemy and Jung).

So where do Weiss and Jaune go from here? Jung provides a clue:

“Just as the anima becomes, through integration, the Eros of consciousness, so the animus becomes a Logos; and in the same way that the anima gives relationship and relatedness to a man’s consciousness, so the animus gives to a woman’s consciousness a capacity for reflection, deliberation and self-knowledge.”

C.W. Vol 9. Part II: Aion. The Syzygy: Anima and Animus

Both Jaune and Weiss have done this for one another thus far, and will continue doing so. Neither Weiss's nor Jaune's arcs are entirely over, either: Jaune still needs to fully embody the spiritual guide, and Weiss needs to embody wisdom and they are both so close but still have a bit more to grow.

Firen Lhain: Chapter 1212: You Can Dance If You Want To: Part III / III

Jaune ended up next to Earnest Chauvin by the punch as his wives danced it up on the dance floor. "Just so you know," Jaune said to him, "since you're a farmer, they're probably going to try and tap you to be the heir."

"After you abadoned your family." Earnest harshly said to him.

"What did you say?!" Jaune asked.

"You abandoned your family!" Earnest exclaimed.

"Leave." Jaune said with tranquil fury.

"What did you say?!" Earnest asked him.

"Leave!" Jaune replied.

"I'm a guest!" Earnest exclaimed.

"Not anymore." Jaune stated.

"I'm with my wife."

"She can leave, too." Jaune added, and his father turned towards him.

"Have you lost your mind?!" Djed asked.

"One - day!" Jaune exclaimed, "One - fucking - day, you can't be proud of me?!"

"You don't get to!.." he tried to say, when Yang stepped between them.

"Except, yeah, he can!" Yang said, her skin, eyes, and hair glowing. Jaune gently placed his hand on her shoulder and lightly squeezed it.

Weiss then stepped between the two. "This is OUR wedding, and you cannot be happy for us, then I must ask why you are here?"

"Does that include me?" Whitley called.

"Quiet, you." Weiss replied, and Ruby Petal Burst beside him.

"You don't really mean that, do you?" Ruby asked, and Whitley shyly looked down.

"But he does." Jaune said, looking his father in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Penthesilea said with tranquil fury, "But if you cannot be happy for us, you cannot be here."

"Am I just supposed to stand here and take this?" Djed asked.

"No." Blake stated, "You're supposed to leave."

Djed rushed towards Jaune, only for Jaune to easily toss him aside.

"I really don't know what he expected to get out of that." Yang stated.

Djed struggled to get to his feet, "I won't be talked to by my..." he said, only to have Winter knock him out from behind.

"I suppose you won't" Winter stated.

"Thank you, Sister." Weiss said to her.

"You deserve to be happy on your wedding day." Winter replied. "Though, I hope you will do me the same favour for mine."

"Pardon?" Weiss asked, as Selena walked up.

"Take your husband and go." Jaune forcefully said to her.

"You can't..." she tried to say.

"GO!" he bellowed at her. Earnest, Saphire, and Selena picked him up, and they hurried to leave. Jaune then turned to the rest of the family, "Anyone who agrees with him can go, too."

With this Stella went to her husband, and turned to leave, followed by Sylvia and her husband. Sapphron just looked Jaune tearfully in his eyes.

"You too, Saph?" Jaune asked. "Do you think I betrayed the family?" And she just started crying, being consolded by Terra. Jaune leaned forward, and sighed.

"Is he asking too much?" Sophia asked.

"Enough of the hating." Shantae stated. "This is big bro's wedding. We should be enjoying ourselves."

Jaune glared at Shantae and she nervously looked back at him. "Who are you, and what have you done with my sister?"

"I..." she tried to say as Jaune's frown turned into a smile and he pulled her into a hug. He kissed her on the top of her head before letting her go.

Weiss then nervously looked at Whitley before quickly pulling him in for a hug, "Despite our frequent conflicts, and a few betrayals, I do not hate you."

"I don't hate you, either." Whitley replied.

"I did worry for your wellbeing, though barely could comprehend the needs of my own." Weiss stated.

"You were worried about me?" Whitley asked.

"It seems a certain someone was the centre of our conflict." Weiss stated, "I feared you falling into the predations of his vices."

Whitley stood there for a moment, "And whom else do you suggest I model my behaviour from?" he asked, "I find myself soon to be in charge of the entire Schnee Dust Corporation."

"The answer is obvious." Weiss stated, and the two strongly looked each other in the eyes.

"You have always admired him."

"With good cause." Weiss stated.

"Perhaps?" Whitley asked.

"If there is any hope for you, you will see the wisdom of his actions."

"And you think you've patterned your life after his?" Whitley asked, "The founder of the SDC abandoned his birthright?"

"He was the one that founded the SDC." Weiss stated, "At the very beginning, they had a single hole in the ground. He was able to get the capital to turn it into a business empire."

"You are creating an empire of your own." Whitley stated.

"I originally became a Huntress to turn my name into something positive."

"But?" Whitley asked.

"But, now that I have fled my guilded cage, I realize that my life is my own."

"Something I do not have the choice in." Whitley stated.

"Nah." Yang stated, "You might become the boss-man, but that doesn't mean you have to be your dad. I mean, seriously, my dad was the team coward."

"What?" Taiyang asked in the back ground.

"She means it in the loving way." Qrow stated.

"Your cowardous was what kept the rest of us alive." Raven added.

"But, I'm the fire cracker." Yang said, with an assertive nod. "But, we're both Huntresses. Huntsmen. Huntressessmen. Shit."

"Hm?" Whitley asked.

"It is just that our beau has forbidden that word." Weiss stated.

Whitley stared at her for a moment, "I am curious as to what the punishment is."

"You'll just have to worry about that on your own." Yang stated. "But, just remember, both me and my Dad are here to fight Grimm. Both of us helped to take out. You know? We both love Ruby and Uncle Qrow, even if we do this differently."

The words seemed to sink into Whitley's head, as it slowly nodded. "And how am I to pull this off, under Father's watchful eye?"

Ciel stepped up, "Salutations, Ciel Soleil." She held out her hand. Whitley reluctantly held his hand out and they shook.

"Whitley Schnee."

"Yes." Ciel stated, "Now, the most logical solution would be to play the obedient progeny until your chance to form your own path arrives."

Whitley thought this over. "And what should I do right now?"

"Do as your father would do." Ciel stated.

"Go home." Weiss stated, "Send the family lawyers to get Father out on bail."

"But, you hate Father?" Whitley asked.

"I still have hope for you." Weiss stated, "And even if you did not, it would be less than a day before someone else did. I have full confidence that Father's many sins will come to life. Simply do as Father would, and stay in the shadows for the trial. Do not obstruct the investigation."

"As if Father would leave such important matters alone?" Whitley asked.

"He would also never risk personal involvement." Weiss stated.

"All I will have to do is eagerly receive the vague reports on the investigation." Whitley simply stated. "To think I have learned so well to mimic Father's sociopathy."

"He was trying to raise you in his image." Weiss stated, "With myself and Sister..."

"You were openly defiant." Whitley stated, "While I played the good progeny, ever dutifully in my father's shadow."

Willow stepped up, obviously drunk, though holding herself up well, "I am so happy to see you two spending time with each other."

Whitley sneared and turned to walk away. He pulled out his scroll to call for his limosine.

"It is... good... to see you... mother..." Weiss said to her.

"You don't have to pretend." Willow stated, "I know I have failed..."

"Mother!" Weiss harshly admonished.

"You don't need to lie to me." she stated, "I honestly have not lived for most of your lives..." she sorrowfully added. "I don't now what I can do to make it up to you."

Weiss breathed in deeply. "I do not know, as well."

Ciel stood upright, "Perhaps I can make an observation?"

"Shoot." Yang stated.

Ciel quickly, mechanically turned towards her. "Have I done something wrong?"

"No, wait, what?" Yang asked.

"That was your substition for another, more pejorative word." Weiss said to her.

"Oh, wait?" Yang asked, "No, I meant shoot, as in, keep talking."

Ciel turned towards Willow and Weiss, "You have sacrificed your time with your children for a self-agrandized lifestyle." Ciel stated, and both eagerly looked at her, hoping for her to continue.

"Go on." Yang stated.

"Oh?" Ciel stated, "Then perhaps reverse your previous decision? Our subterranian guest quarters have been completed. She could aid with the chores around the castle."

Willow looked excited for a moment before nervously looking down, "If she knew how." Yang stated.

Willow looked back up with a determined look, "I'm not too old to learn." she said, with as much firmness as her crapulence could muster. "What do you children drink?" she asked, and they simply looked at her blankly.

"We do not." Ciel simply stated.

"What?" a confused Willow uttered, "Well, I assume you would not be drinking the finest wine, but you still drink wine, don't you?"

"We do not." Ciel stated, and Willow went white with shock.

"How... how could?.." Willow asked.

"Well, for one mother, I saw you disappear into a bottle every day, and vowed to never follow you."

"And we got plenty of things to help us blow off steam." Yang said. "If you wanted, we could use a..."

She was silenced by Weiss slapping her butt.

"Pardon?" Willow asked.

"She was simply being uncouth." Weiss stated.

"You know you like it." Yang said. Weiss developed a mild blush along with a light blue flush.

"It really depends on the current circumstances..." Weiss nervously stated.

* * *

Jaune stepped onto the centre of the dance floor and strongly put his foot down, to balance himself for dancing, when the floor cracked below him. He immediately loosened himself up, wobbling around like a noodle. Penthesilea slid up to him and held his hand to steady him, giggling all the while. Blake did a backward cartwheel to land beside them, and looked over to Gog dancing with Saphron and Terra, along with Sarah Arns. Summer was playing with Adrian in the background.

"He doesn't seem to be having any problems?" Blake asked.

"Yeah?" Jaune asked, "But he's a giant. Wait, wouldn't that make it harder to dance? I mean, tall people already have trouble dancing."

"Penthesilea doesn't seem to be have any trouble?" Blake asked.

"Well, yeah, but she's... you know?" Jaune asked.

"You just need to learn to relax." Blake stated, as she moved it and grabbed his other hand. "Just relax. you don't have to dance, just flow with the music."

"If I make the ground break, I'm blaming you." Jaune grumbled, as she both loosened and balanced himself, flowing with the music.

"You can punish me later." Blake stated.

Sophia and Shantae moved out to dance beside them.

Good-Bye, Heather.

Freeman walked out of the door, closing it quietly behind him. He turned and saw Heather standing outside the lobby door. He walked up to it and stood staring at her before motioning for her to get back. He punched in the code to unlock the door and let himself out before she could try to push past him.

“You’re not even going to invite me inside? Or send your kid back out here to lie to me and say that you no longer live here anymore like I’m stupid or something.”

“Heather.. That kid is 19 years old. I’m 26. I would have to of been like, seven years old when I Fathered him.”

“Oh.. ok, well.. Who is he then? Your friend? Your girlfriend’s son?” She crossed her arms defensively.

He shook his head. “No, he’s the new Property Manager.”

“Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously. Louie has been the Property Manager here for the past. Almost 5 months now.”

“Oh..” She frowned, looking down at the sidewalk. “Ok, but.. I mean, why haven’t you returned any of my text messages?”

“Because I blocked your number.”

Her eyebrows shot up and her mouth made a pop noise as her jaw dropped way. “Why?”

“Not that I need to give you a reason, but it was because you wouldn’t stop calling me after I told you I was done. And then you had the audacity to speak to my daughter. Who the fuck do you think you are? You are not my wife, you are not my girlfriend. You had no right, NO RIGHT, to speak to my daughter.”

She flinched as he shouted the words in her face. “I-I’m s-so sorry, Freeman. You’re right, I had no right to speak to her. I-I have nothing to offer you in terms of an excuse on my behalf.”

“I don’t want excuses, Heather. You crossed a line.” Freeman started walking towards his jeep and could hear her heels clicking behind him. He stopped in the middle of the parking lot and turned around. “Are you pregnant?”

“W-what?! Why would ask you me that?”

“It’s a logical question. You look like you haven’t properly cared for yourself in weeks. Your face is gaunt, your hair is unwashed and looks like it hasn’t seen a brush in probably more than a week. You’re also dehydrated.”

“What are you a doctor?”

“No, I’m a Father and it’s also my job to analyze what I see in front of me.”

“Your job?” she air quoted, rolling her eyes, snickering. “Right.”

“I am a FBI Agent for the BAU.”

She started laughing, but when she looked up at him she realized he was not kidding. “And FBI Agent? Seriously? When?”

“Awhile. Heather, what is all this about. I thought you understood that I was done. I thought I made it clear from the beginning I wasn’t looking for serious.”

“I know, I just.. I miss you. I needed to see you. You’re all I think about, I- I’ve fallen in love with you, Freeman.” She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. He put his hands on her shoulders and gently, but firmly, pushed her away from him. His lips still pressed in a thin line.

“You don’t want to kiss me? Maybe if I-” She reached out to grab at the waist of his jeans and he deflected.

Freeman sighed, closing his eyes. “No, you’re not in love with me, Heather. You want to be in love with me, but you’re not really. You’re still in pain over the loss of your ex. I sympathize with you for that, but … you really need to talk to someone about all this. For your health. Mentally and emotionally.”

Her eyes teared up as she nodded her head. “How can you be so sure that I’m not in love with you. I feel like I am.”

He pulled her into his arms and hugged her. “How does this make you feel?” He asked as he rubbed her back and smoothed the back of her hair that was wrapped at the nape of her neck in a bun. “Does this make you feel good. Calm?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“This isn’t love. This is need. This is.. This is just you trying to fill a void.” He pulled back away from her and wiped her eyes. “It’s loneliness and I know that better than most. It will get better, but this.. This isn’t healthy, Heather.”

She nodded her head, sniffling. She tried to smile, but it was weak. “Come on, I’ll walk you to your car.” He guided her back towards her little red corvette and opened the drivers side door for her. “You can rest here for awhile if you need to. Louie won’t mind.”

“It’s alright, I’m fine.”

“It’s ok to ask for help, Heather.”

“I know.” Her brow furrowed. “I know.. I’ll-I think I’ll go to my friends house. Thanks Freeman.”

“Sure.” He patted the top of her car and stepped away, allowing her to back out of the parking space.

He watched her shift into first before she turned and smiled at him. She rolled down her window and beckoned for him to step towards her. He did so, but was cautious. He placed one hand on top of her car and leaned down. “I just wanted to thank you for everything. I hope she realizes what a great man she’s missing out on.”

“Thanks Heather. I hope you get what you’re looking for, too.”

She smiled then took a deep breath and turned to face forward. He stood and watched her leave before he turned and climbed into his Jeep. He pulled out his cell phone and called Julian. He answered on the second ring. “Hey, Jules. Do we have any dogs retiring from the force? I would like to adopt one, yes another one, but it’s for my sister. Her house keeps getting broken into and I feel like she would feel so much safer knowing .. exactly. Great! I’ll be over there in the morning. 8:00 good for you? Awesome, I’ll meet you there then.”

Freeman smiled and put his phone in it’s dock and pulled on his seatbelt. He was turning the keys in the ignition when he felt like he was being watched. He looked around and didn’t see anything, or anyone, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t someone there. “Aida?” He whispered out loud to himself. Then shook his head. “Naah..” he shook his head. She wouldn’t come back if she knew he wasn’t there. She wasn’t stupid. He looked at the manilla envelope he’d tossed onto the passenger side of his jeep before taking a deep breath and putting the car into reverse. He’ll look at it once he was home and could focus all his attention on it.

He pulled out of the parking lot of the apartment complex and headed towards the small diner to pick up some food to go. His stomach was grumbling and he knew he’d end up with an ulcer with all the coffee he drank on an empty stomach. He shoved the manilla envelope into the glove compartment before jumping out of the car to pick up his usual. When he stepped back outside, it was pouring down rain. He took a deep breath. He did miss that smell. Summer Rain in Simveda was amazing, but it also brought back memories of Faye and good times that still were made him feel bitter and sad. He sighed and hot footed it to his car. He placed the food on the passenger seat and high tailed it back to home which was 45 minutes out.

He was stopped at the intersection just before the on ramp he needed to take to get on the freeway that would take him out of town and headed towards his house when his phone rang. He pressed the button on his steering wheel, “Rodriguez.”

“Hey, it’s Jules.”

“I’m driving, what’s up?”

“I’ll make it fast. So, there were two dogs being retired out. One is already spoken for by his partner and the other is Ruby.”

“Really? Ruby is being retired out? She’s amazing, why?”

“I have no idea, but it’s stated she’s to retire out. Maybe because her handler passed? They sometimes do that if the dog can’t bond with another person.”

“I see, well I’ll take my chances. I’ve worked with Ruby before and had no issues with her.”

“Great, I can bring by the paperwork now and leave it in your mailbox that way we just have to process it in the morning and you can take Ruby then.”

“Is anyone else interested in Ruby?”

“Mm.. well, no, but no one else knew she was being retired. Why?”

“Well, I just don’t want someone to get her before me. I’ll come by there and fill out the paper work and then process it. Shouldn’t be more than 15 minutes, right?”

“Less, probably. No one’s here but me. I’m just typing up my report for my case load and then I was going to leave. If you’re on your way you should bring food.”

“Done. I stopped by the Diner.”

“Ahhh, was my girl working?”

“She’s always working.”

“Awesome! Okay, great. I’ll get the paperwork ready and then Ruby can go home with you tonight. Bishop will be excited.”

Freeman hit the button on his steering wheel and flipped the signal to alert the cars behind him he’s turning. He pulled off onto the shoulder and waited for the vehicles to pass him. When it was clear, he flipped a bitch and headed back towards Simveda’s Police Station. It took him only 10 minutes to get there and less than five to get the paperwork filled out. They bullshitted about work and friends and their new partners (well Julian’s new partner and Freeman’s new team) while the paperwork was processed and approved. Once it was finished they walked over to the kennel and with the new red leash he purchased from Petco, along with a new bed and some toys and dog food he knew they fed the dogs here and that Ruby was used to that was now in the backseat of his jeep, he lead Ruby out to his Jeep and opened the front door for her to jump in which she did so gladly. He shook hands with Julian before walking around his vehicle and climbing into the drivers side.

“How about we visit our ole friend, Bishop? What do you say, girl?” He asked Ruby, who barked twice in response, making Freeman laugh. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

He pulled out of the parking lot and headed back towards the freeway in which he just came from, heading home.
