Neon stands near the Docks, watching as a Bullhead Lands. Jaune gets off the Bullhead, Followed by Ilia, Flynt, and Winter and walks from it to her.
"The army?" Neo asked them
"Just crossed. They'll be at the walls of Vale in two days" Jaune replied, "How is she?"
"She hasn't seen anyone since we returned. Hasn't left her chambers, hasn't accepted any food" Neo replied
"She shouldn't be alone" Jaune cried
"I understand you're worried for her, but she just lost her Uncle and one of your friends has been taken by Salem" Neo replied "We both know what she's about to do"
Jaune Pauses, he looks to Neo,
"You don't know that"
"I do know. I've seen people be changed because of loss. How much has she lost Jaune?" Neo asked
"AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!" Jaune yelled "and that's her decision to make. She is our queen" Jaune replied,
"that doesn't mean we have to agree with burning down a huge populated city!" Neo cried
"and why not!? we know that civilians have been taken to a safe place while the entire vale army is in the city!!" Jaune yelled, "what do you want from her!?"
"I want her to make the right decisions! If we burn vale to ash there will be no home to go back to Jaune" Neo cried
"I want the right ruler on the Throne, Neo, and Yang is the best option at that, and I'll help her" Jaune told her
"so you're taking a gamble on this? you're hoping to flip a coin in the air and hope it lands on what you want?" Neo questioned
Jaune sighed, Neo looked at him, "I don't know how her coin will land... But I'm quite certain about yours Jaune"
Jaune looks at her with shock and horror
"what? you think Joan only told Oscar and you?" Neo asked
Jaune shook his head and pulled back "I don't want it. I never have" Jaune told her
"do you know how many men and women would kill for your position? how many would betray their friends for a crown?" Neo asked him "Seeing as how you don't want it, you not wanting the fame or the glory anymore, you will do the right thing. Like you always have"
Jaune shook his head and began to walk away before turning back to Neo
"She is my queen. Now and Always"
Jaune continues to walk on, alone and Neo sighs.
Winter heard about her father's death and cried. she didn't understand why now of all times, that whatever god was up there would allow him to be killed, Just as he was beginning a happy life. Whitley looks to his eldest sister and looks at what is in his hand. It was Qrow's necklace. He composed himself and headed to Winter
Winter, hearing footsteps, whipped away the tears and looked to the door to see her brother.
"what is it Whitley?" she asked
He walked to her and opened his hand. Winter looked to see Qrow's cross necklace.
"This was all He had back here at Beacon" Whitely replied
He hands the necklace to her. Winter looks it over, masking her pain, She then undoes the chain and puts it on herself.
