The scene opened to a shot of Beacon Academy's courtyard at dusk, with Weiss and Ruby running up the main avenue towards the docking bays.
Ruby: *runs to catch up with Weiss* Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?
Weiss: *stops and smiles at the sight of..* Winter.
The camera then cuts behind Ruby and Weiss watching Winter Schnee, escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's as she exited her airship.
Ruby: Wait... Your sister?
Weiss: *cups mouth* Winter!
The two then ran up to the elder Schnee as she turned to see them.
Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... *suddenly curtsies* Your presence honors us.
Winter: *looks around as she approaches them* Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.
Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.
Weiss punched Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her older sister.
Weiss: So, what are you doing here?
Winter: Classified.
Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?
Winter: Classified.
Weiss: Of course. *nods and smiles in understanding*
Ruby: *looks pensively around in the silence* Well... this is nice... I think.
Weiss: *excited* You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! *discreetly whispers* Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-
Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.
Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!
Winter: 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.
Weiss: *puzzled* But, we won!
Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed. *turns to her security* Leave us.
The AK-200s obeyed, walking two steps backwards into formation as she sighed and smiled a little more warmly at Weiss.
Winter: How have you been?
Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm-
The camera cuts to Winter's hand as she slapped Weiss, leaving a massive bump on her head.
Winter: Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?
Weiss: Well, there's Ruby.
Ruby: *giggles as she pushes the lump back into Weiss' head* Heh, boob.
Winter: I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.
Ruby: Uh... Thank you!
Winter: Greetings, Ruby Rose. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister.
Ruby: Oh! Uh, yes, of course! *attempts to salute and curtsy* The honor is in my... court!
She nearly lost her balance with this gesture, waving her arms until she could get back up.
