Sarah couldn't help but sigh as yet another argument broke out between the child she was sworn to protect and a boy who had been causing her no end of headaches since she had laid eyes on him, the spirit assassin choosing to let her attention wander as the two kids argued about something childish, Sarah having picked up on something about what kind of fruit tasted better.

It had been nearly eight years since she had arrived on Remnant to enjoy her afterlife, and things had only gotten more and more complicated as Safira started to stretch her wings, both metaphorically and physically. Gone were the awkward days of Safira not knowing how to talk to people, of a you girl who just thought of Sarah as her complicated imaginary friend. Now the young winged Faunus found herself in the constant company of two other friends...well, one friend and one person who just liked to argue with her a lot. Sarah could understand Blake spending so much time with Safira, as they were practically inseparable after having no one but each other to play with after so long, but she had been surprised to see Adam Taurus, the boy who would one day grow up to bring Beacon to its knees, constantly around Safira even after he gave her a lunch. Apparently Safira had managed to impress him with her heroics that faithful day in the desert, not that Adam would ever admit to it mind you.

As Sarah thought about the two children who had latched onto her winged charge she couldn't help but sigh again, the questions that occupied her mind during her sleepless nights returning in full force. When the young winged girl had encountered Blake Belladonna Sarah had been shocked into inaction, one of the few times when she had unintentionally let her emotions bubble over into Safira's mind. She now had irrefutable proof of what era she and her charge were living in, and it wasn't exactly the best time to be alive.

Granted, there wasn't exactly any quality time to be on Remnant, as the Grimm saw to that, but if Blake was already alive then that meant the fall of Beacon was on the horizon...not that she could do anything about that. Heck, the only time the shows had ever shown Blake during her childhood was a single still picture of the young cat Faunus waving a picket sign in protest, not exactly enough for the ghost to formulate any plans off of. Should she try to warm someone of the impending destruction? Should she try to get Safira to help Blake grow stronger so the cat Faunus would be better prepared? Should she encourage Safira to travel to Vale so they could directly affect the events to come? All questions that rattled around in her ghostly skull, the question of how much she should interfere in the lives of others.

That's even considering that I may never have a chance to interfere, Safira doesn't exactly seem too keen on the idea of going off to war against the Grimm, and I swore I wouldn't interfere in her decisions unless it was to protect her...God this is so much more complicated than just fighting. Sarah thought with a dark chuckle as she checked down below to see that the three kids had begun to move though the marketplace, Safira and Adam still arguing despite the fact that they now had to continue their conversation in between the legs of the adults who were walking around them. She had been surprised when the child's parents had put forth the question of going to a Huntsmen academy to the child barely even old enough to understand what the question meant...but if there was one thing that Safira's trip into the sands taught the spectral fighter it was that people on Remnant grew up fast...or they didn't grow up at all.

Speaking of not growing up at all...Sarah muttered to herself as she glared down at the black and red-haired boy, said bull Faunus shivering slightly at her invisible glare, There's the question of what to do about you, Adam Taurus. Since she all but confirmed she was in the timeline of the show, Safira had a difficult question before her. she knew what Adam would become, the damage he would go on to do not only to innocent lives but to Blake as well, the ghostly assassin having chosen to extend her ethereal protection to arguably the most important person to Safira outside of her immediate family. And since she did know this...would it not be better to end the problem before it became one? To cut away the cancer before it became malignant?
