Back in the dorm, Sapphire randomly walks around. Waiting for Arizona, Rita and Trevor, who are in Vale City, to buy her favorite desserts.

Sapphire: *hums a lullaby then sighs* ..... *thinks* Where are my desserts?

Phyrra: Oh! *bumps into Sapphire, who got tumbled down* Sorry! Sorry! *offers her hand*

Sapphire: *takes Phyrra's hand and stands*

Phyrra: Are you alright?

Sapphire: *shyly and weakly nods*

Phyrra: Ok. Hmm? *observes Sapphire*

Sapphire: *averts her eyes and hides half of her face in her scarf*

Phyrra: You're Kyrenia's friend, right?

Sapphire: *weakly nods*

Phyrra: Any friend of her is a friend of mine as well. *gasps in surprise* Oh! Sorry! I haven't introduced myself yet. *clears throat* Hello! I'm Phyrra Nikos. Nice to meet you. *extends her hand indicating a handshake*

Sapphire: *writes* "Hi! I'm Sapphire Ray. Nice to meet you too". *shakes Phyrra's hand*

Phyrra: I need to go. Bye! *leaves in a hurry*

Sapphire: *thinks* She's..... She looks confident, beautiful, and kind. I wish I could be like her.

???: Golden warrior wins. Total annihilation.

Sapphire: *hears the sound behind one of the doors*

Ruby: Aww. You win again.

Yang: Oh yeah!

Weiss: Ugh! Stop that racket. I can't focus in studying. Look! Even Blake's distracted.

Ruby: Yeah. I'm getting sick of it anyways

Yang: Awww. Killjoy.

Blake: *senses someone at the door* Who's there?

Sapphire: !!!!!!

Ruby: *opens the door* Hello! Can I help you?

Sapphire: *shooks her head then writes* Sorry! I just heard someone shouting.

Ruby: Oh yeah. Sorry, it's just the game.

Yang: Who's that?

Ruby: She's........ Uh What's your name?

Sapphire: *writes* Sapphire. Sapphire Ray.

Ruby: Sapphire!? You're like me! *eyes sparkle in joy*

Sapphire: *weakly reacts* Eh!?

Ruby: I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose. We both have diamond names!

Yang: Actually, it's gems but you do have something in common.

Ruby: Right!? Right!?

Sapphire: *nods in confusion*

Weiss: Stop scaring her. Can't you see she's at a loss. Hmm? *notices something and approaches Sapphire*

Sapphire: *hides in her scarf and writes* Y-yes?

Weiss: By your clothes, you seem to be a gypsy.

Sapphire:............

Yang: Something wrong with her a gypsy?

Weiss: Yes. They're vulgar scoundrels.

Sapphire: *frowns*.......

Blake: Hey! That was too harsh.

Weiss: It's a fact, like it or not.

Blake: But she's done nothing bad to you.

Weiss: They're are all the same.

Blake: Weiss, you need to stop.

Weiss: I will when she leaves.

Sapphire: ........ *writes* S-sorry to have disturbed you *bows then leaves*

Yang: Hey! Wait! *groans* Weiss!

Weiss: What?

Yang: Apologize to her when you meet her again.

Weiss: No!

Blake: Weiss!

Weiss: I refuse to apologize to a petty thief.

Ruby: She doesn't look much like a thief.

Weiss: That's what gypsies would want you to believe. They'd use their tricks, acting and charms to manipulate you then steal your money or things.

Blake: But she hasn't stolen anything.

Weiss: Hmph! Say what you want. But if you got conned, don't blame me for warning you.

Blake: Ugh!

Ruby: You were still rude though.

Yang: Forget it. She won't budge.

Ruby: *frowns* I almost made a new friend too.
