Rock, Weiss and Ruby watch as Winter Schnee, escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's, as she exits her airship.
"Wait... Your sister?" ruby asked as rock played a record scratch sound effect
Weiss, cups her mouth "Winter!" the two then run up to the elder Schnee as she turns to see them, as rock slowly made his way over "Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh..." suddenly curtsies "Your presence honors us."
Winter looks around she she approaches them "Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different."
"I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder." ruby said
"Well- she's- not wrong-" rock said finally catching up to the two
Weiss punches Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her sibling "So, what are you doing here?"
"Classified." winter said
Rock played another sound effect
"Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?" weiss aaked
"Classified." winter said again
Rock rolled his eyes
"Of course." weiss nods and smiles in understanding
Ruby looks pensively around in the silence "Well... this is nice... I think."
Rock leaned over to her and said "don't- force- it-"
Weiss excitedly said "You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas!" she discreetly whispers "Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-"
"I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came." winter said
"Right! I'm sorry!" weiss apologized
"Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter." insulted winter
