You observe Ruby carefully, and when she start looking down to pick up ammunition you walk near her and look around

Where is this fucking creepy woman!

You suddenly see the snow glowing blue a bit

I'm starting to like you

You get to the spot and while Ruby isn't looking you pick it up

You look at it, and it's beautiful

How can a lamp be so mesmerizing... Anyway, now's not the time

You place it on your belt, under your coat

Yang, trying to move her bike: Great. This is just great. We're stranded

At least we're not dead, 'cause you know? Dead. Stranded. No? Guess you're not that much of a gamer then

"We lost a third of our party. And we've gained... a defenseless old lady!"

She fall after moving her bike

The 'old lady' is being helped by Oscar

Maria: "My name is Maria Calavera. And I am not defenseless! I'm just a little hard of hearing. And, blind, without my eyes" she tap on her mechanical eyes "that are in desperate need of repair... Okay. I'm starting to see your point"

Qrow: Yang. Knock it off, will ya? If we loose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm

Blake: Does that even matter? Apparently we've been attracting Grimm since we left Haven

Yang: Oh, and how can I forget about that? What happened to no more lies and half-truths?

Oscar: Yeah. I think it's time we got an explanation

His eyes change, and Ozpin's here

Ozpin: I did not lie to you

You're going to be roasted so much when Ruby will ask Jinn abou-- Wait. Who has the lamp?

...

Weiss: Well you certainly didn't tell us everything about the relic

I

Ozpin: Please. Now is not the time

Am

Yang: No we're past that. I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything

So

Ozpin: It is true that the Grimm are attracted te the relics, it's faint but undeniable. I believe it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure

Fuuuuuuuuuuucked!!!!

"Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add more anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option"

Weiss: You know, I'm getting real tired of people choosing what's best for me

Yang: Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?

Ozpin, getting a bit angry: "Yes. As a matter of fact" he begins walking away "I believe the kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed Leonardo deserve to be remembered for his lifetime of service. And not the unfortunate missteps he made in his final years"

'Deserved better than the truth'... How Orwellian is that?

Yang, angry too: Missteps?!

Ozpin: What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently. But does just one lapse in judgment truly negates all of his good, do we not all have regrets? You may have met professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him
