Mistral, Agrus, Train Station.

""WE'RE FINALLY HERE AT ARGUS!" Nora yelled, inhaling the crisp air of the train station.

"I smell hotdogs," she remarked with a grin.

"Calm your stomach, Nora. We already had breakfast," Ren reminded her.

"You called that breakfast? Pfft, whatever," Nora scoffed jokingly at Ren.

"We're now at Argus. We have the entire day to ourselves. What do you guys wanna do here?" Yang asked the group, and all eyes turned to her.

"Well... Since we're here, I'd like to visit someone first, and I want you guys to come with me. Wait, where's Ruby?" Jaune raised his hand as he spoke, a curious look on his face.

Everyone glanced around, realizing Ruby was probably still on the train. They were also curious about Jaune's plans and who he wanted to visit.

Ruby was the last one to get off the train. As she stepped out of her compartment and walked through the hallway towards the exit, she heard grunts coming from another room.

An old lady was struggling to reach her bag from the top of the cabinet. Ruby, showing her characteristic compassion, used her semblance to grab the bag for the old lady.

*Fwoosh*

"What the-?" The old lady was startled by the sudden rush of red petals that zipped past her.

Ruby landed gracefully on her feet, turning to face the old lady. "Here, I thought you needed a hand," she said with a friendly smile, handing the bag to the old woman.

"Ooh! Thank you, young girl. I appreciate you helping an old hag like me."

"Hehe, it's alright. Here, let me help you carry it!"

"It's fine; I'm not that weak. Something tells me that you're a huntress, correct?"

"You're not entirely wrong-I'm just a trainee..."

"Hmph. I also couldn't help but notice, you have silver eyes."

"Oh-hehe, yeah. I got them from my mother. My mother had silver eyes too."

Engrossed in their conversation, they almost didn't notice they had reached the exit.

"Oh-we're already at the exit. Well, good talk. What's your name, silver-bright?"

"Name's Ruby!"

"What an adorable name. You can call me Maria. I gotta go now, kid. It was fun talking with you, but I still have work to do."

"Okay! Take care!"

Ruby waved at Maria and quickly found her team as they ventured further into the city of Argus.

Half An Hour Later

The gang followed Jaune, navigating through the streets for quite some time. As they finally arrived at their destination, they found themselves facing a house that Jaune seemed to know well.

Jaune pressed the doorbell. Soon after, they heard footsteps approaching, and the door opened to reveal a blonde lady.

"Oh-JAUNE!" the lady shouted with enthusiasm as she hugged him tightly.

"Heh, hello sis!" Jaune embraced her hug. Ruby gasped in surprise.

"That's... your sister?" Yang was a bit surprised, as were the rest of the gang. They noted the similarities: almost the same face, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

'Yep, they're siblings,' everyone thought simultaneously.

"Oh, my baby brother came to visit me today, huh?" Jaune's sister teased, grabbing his cheeks.
