(During the night, Krystal's POV)

Night and I went outside again. I sat down on one of the benches, near of the fountain and Night lay down with her head on my legs, reaching out for my hand to run through her hair. We were looking at the stars. Not because we couldn't sleep, just because we wanted to spend time together.

"Say, Night ... What are you thinking about doing, when you'll get your Huntsman License?" I asked him.

"I think I'll go all over Remnant to protect the people. Not just from Grimms, but also from criminals. As long as I can prevent families from being destroyed, that's all that matters," he replied.

"Personally, I will make sure that the faunus are finally treated equally, but with different methods than those of the White Fang." I answered him. He sneered.

"We recognize a faunus fanatic. It's noble of you." He told me. I looked further, and saw a crow land on the edge of the fountain.

"Well, good evening sir Branwen." Night told him. We saw the raven turn into a man. It was the one who had provoked Corporal Schnee.

"You can call me Qrow." He told her before pulling out a flask of whiskey and drinking. "You two are cute together, ya know?" He asks us.

"We were never told." Night answered him. Qrow chuckled.

"Do you go out often?" He asks us.

"Together, not very often. But Night alone, several times a week." I answered.

"It's a little against the rules, that." He tells us.

"I know"  Night answers him.

"Tell me, Night. How did you know about Cinder?" Qrow asks him. Night sighed.

"Mr. Qrow, I don't think this is a good time to talk about this ..." I told him.

"It's okay." Night told me.

"So ?" Qrow asks him.

"Let's say I understood as soon as I saw her." Night replied.

"To me, that doesn't mean anything. What I'm asking you is from when did you realize she was planning an attack?" Qrow asks him.

"Right from the start. I've known her longer than you think." Night replied coldly.

"I see." Qrow sighs before drinking. "What about Emerald? You seem to really care about your sister, if you don't want her imprisoned." He said to him.

"This is the last family he has left. Do you understand?" I said.

"Her family, huh? That's a very strange way to behave. It's nauseating to see a girl talking about her family and pretending her own brother doesn't exist. Believe me, I know that." Qrow told me.

"Did your sister deny you too?" Night asks, straightening up.

"Yeah. She divided our team on her own." Qrow replied. "I still think you had the courage to try to open her eyes, despite her situation." Qrow told him. Night and I exchanged a look. Qrow chuckled.

"Yeah, I saw you arguing, near the fountain. You have a hell of a big mouth" Qrow told to Night.

"What are you doing here ?" Night asks him.

"It's confidential, kiddo." Qrow answers him before drinking.

"Do you often watch the academy at night?" I asked him.

"About three hours a night. Since your boyfriend has declined the identity of our enemy and Ozpin had no intention of doing anything, I decided to watch, in case something happened" He replied

"I see..." Night sighs.

"How about you talk about yourself? How did you know Cinder and why you hate her?" Qrow asks Night, started to look at him coldly.

"Ok, that means no." Qrow sighs before drinking. "If it's a touchy subject, I can understand." He said, putting his flask next to him.

"But... What did Cinder want? Why she wanted to destroy Beacon?" I asked him. Qrow sighed.

"I would have liked to answer you, but I've no right to divulge this information." Qrow explains to me before getting up.

"Why ?" Night asks him.

"You know, in this world there are things people better not to know, and things that some people would like to forget. The reason Cinder came to Beacon falls into the first category. is all I can tell you. Even if I had the right to tell you about it, it would be a long story. " He explains to us before leaving.


(The next day at noon, Night's POV)

I was with my whole team at the grill stand where we had eaten with the team MOTN.

"So Qrow knows why Cinder came?" Resare asks me. Me and Krystal took the time to explain the situation to them and tell them about our discussion with Qrow.

"Apparently." I sighed.

"It would have been interesting to know." Dragon told me.

"Look, I wish I knew too, though it wouldn't do much for me. Cinder is in jail, she'll cause us more trouble." I answered him.

"That's right. Now it's all behind us." Krystal tells us.

"Yeah." Dragon sighs. "Say, We have a free afternoon, you want to go and watch a movie?" He asks us.

You're buying?" I asked him.

"I'm buying. If we leave around 1 PM and half, will be back to watch the tournament "confirms Dragon.

"It's cool !" Resare told him.

Yeah, what do you want to watch? "He asks us.

"Personally, I don't care, as long as it's not a musical." I answered.

"Rhaaaa... Please, not that ..." Complains Resare

"Yeah, no, I had rather thought of an action movie" Ricane Dragon.

"That interests me." Resare answers him.

"It's not my favorite kind of movie, but that's fine with me, too." Krystal answers.


(In the evening, after the cinema)

We had just left the cinema, and we were going back to the academy.

"So, what did you think?" Dragon asks us.

"Frankly? Not that great." I answered.

"Yeah, we agree." Dragon sighs.

"Yeah, that was boring ..." Resare adds.

"The main character was overplaying all the time, it was rubbish." Krystal tells us.

"I agree. Besides, the antagonist didn't have any charisma." Add Dragon.

"Sure, the tournament is a lot more entertaining than this movie." Resare tells us.

"Yeah." I answered.

"So, are we going back to the festival?" Krystal asks us.

"Yes boss !" We all responded in unison.
