RWBY: The Years Before: Shadow of Grim

Curve stood before Ozpin, his arms crossed, his everpresent unamused glare plastered across his face. "Curve, it hasn't even been twenty four hours, yet I find you in my office again. This time you actually did something." "I did something last time." Curve growled, shifting his weight to the other foot. A look of confusion crossed Ozpins face. "You wanted the person who beat up the other team. I didn't do that. I broke one of their fingers." Ozpin sighed and laced his fingers together over his desk. "You're telling me to discipline you for that as well?" "No," Curve replied, "Nor can you. Given the fight that ensued afterwards, it's miraculous none of them broke a limb. Any injuries the students have were automatically assumed to be inflicted by Sward. Seeing as Sward was forgiven, and now lies hospitalized himself for more serious matters, you cannot force disciplinary measures on either of us for that incident." Curve inspected the calloused knuckles on one of his hands. He may be a thug, and he may have a temper, but he'd read the book, and the law. He was clear.


Ozpin shook his head. The kid had a point. But the rules were rules, and Curve had broken them. "Well Curve, physically assaulting another student is a pretty serious offense. There will be reprocussions." Curve stopped inspecting his fist and ran a hand through his hair. "Well Ozpin," Curve mocked his tone of voice, "Hurting one of my men is a pretty serious offence. There were reprocussions." "Enough. My academy is not the streets of Vacuo. You cannot fight anyone you like for any reason you like. I and the other teachers are in charge and our authority needs to be respected." Curve slammed his fist down on the table. "NO!" Curve's tattoos glowed dimly, "You are right, figting my fellow students is wrong. But under this circumstance, it was neccissary. You have appointed an incompitent leader, who has only moderate combat ability, who has no reguard for others safety! Sward was wounded! I refuse to cooperate when my safety, my teams safety, and all of beacons safety is jeapordized by one weak link!"





Ozpin sighed, wiping off his glasses and leaning back in his chair. "I understand your frustration. But Curve, tell me this. Have you ever done anything that led to the death of someone you cared about?" Curve cracked his knuckles on one hand before answering. "No." Ozpin rubbed his temples. "Are you lying?" "Am I?" Curve raised his eyebrows abrasively. Ozpin held Curve's dark gaze for a few seconds before he replied. He didn't break eye contact, although he wished he could. "Well that time will come. And when it does, you need to be prepared. Locke knows what it feels like. And the reason he's the team leader isn't because I was too busy to make a new team, it's because he is supposed to teach you some level of empathy. Curve snorted. Empathy. A fools emotion. There was no room for empathy in his life, not with his career. "Now I understand that this must be foreign to you. But having a student like you is also foreign to me. But judging by your encounter in the woods today, you know know just as much as I do about the 'situation' you described in Veil." Curve gritted his teeth. At that moment, his phone decided to ring. Ozpin motioned for him to pick it up. Curve answered it and stuck it up to his ear. "Boss, we're here. We made it." Curve nodded. "Mmmhmm. I trust we'll meet later tonight? There's much to discuss." "Gotchya boss. Seeya then." Curve hung up. "One of your friends? Ozpin asked innocently. Curve did not respond. "Curve, I hope you realize that I can find it out on my own wether you like it or not." . "You can try," Curve growled, "But. One thing I know, is that there are organized grim. Organized, fucking, grim. And if you won't, or can't do anything about it, I will. As soon as possible. Before it becomes a problem." Ozpin shrugged. "Or you could be forbidden from leaving the school. Curve turned on his heel and claBmp-ed his way out of the office. "Just try and stop me. I dare you." Curve left the door open on his way out.

Kuro had taken a great defensive spot during the fight with the Grimm, who seemed to be trying to dodge and evade his shots. These beasts were smarter than the average Grimm. He noted that for later. Each time a Beowulf or an Ursa tried to climb up the tree he took a position in, he shoved the barrel of one of his weapons in their face and blasted it back down to the ground. He also saw a new kid enter the fight, one who spread ice across the ground and froze the Grimm in place. He appreciated that, as it made shooting them a bit easier since they were immobile. Their numbers were thinning, and it helped that OJ, Sward, Curve, and Locke were there. If it was just the first year groups, they might've been in trouble. Then, everything fell apart so easily.


As the Grimm turned and fled (( I'll edit that if it's wrong )), an arrow came out of nowhere and pierced Sward's leg. He fell to the ground, clutching his leg. Kuro scanned the area for whoever was responsible, then found Locke, bow in hand, with a shocked expression on his face. It was an obvious accident, but Kuro knew that Curve was going to be pissed. And he was right. Curve then visciously attacked Locke, which caused Kuro to hop down from his perch with guns trained on the tatooed student. Glynda came at just the right time to separate the two and get everyone to start back towards the school, but Kuro still held a glare on Curve. His trust with the transfer student just shortened significantly. It was an accident. It wasn't like he did it on purpose.


Kuro saw Azure and Mel and went to meet up with them, but he also saw that new kid with the ice powers with them. His eyes narrowed. No one told him about this kid, like they announced when Curve and Sward transferred. He must be the new member of their team, since their fourth member just up and left Beacon. Kuro seemed to have horrible luck with finding people to complete the team, but it seemed like this kid would stick around for a while. He approached his team, a bit of sweat from the activity shining on his forehead. He arrived just after Mel's statement, which he didn't quite catch.


"You guys missed quite the party. I'll fill you two in on it later, because I think it's something we really need to talk about. As for you," Kuro said looking at the newcomer, "what's your name? You been placed in my team?"

The young lad, who was much younger than everyone else in the group, looked at Mel with his the disapproving look he always wears. He only ever showed three emotions disapproving/disappointed, angry/annoyed, and unamused. With the exception of embarassed that came out every so often. He blinked those blank brown eyes at the blonde female,"You couldve jumped in and 'show off' at any time," he retorted. Then Kuro appeared. Carter remained in place. His head was still slightly turned in Mel's direction but his eyes were locked on Kuro. He watched the other male. The way he presented and carried himself suggested he was the team leader. Not to mention that he was the first to ask for a name. Carter raised an eyebrow, looking at his new leader up and down,"You know, its polite to introduce yourself first before asking for a name...." he sighed and closed his eyes,"but I suppose Ill let it slide considering i already read short backgrounds on each of you." He put a hand on his chest, with his palm open,"I am Carter Greyson, others at Signal called me Grey, but seeing as how we just met I dont think thats appropriate yet."


Azure looked at him with adoration. She always loved younger students, so naive and inexperienced. And his young face was just so cute she wanted to pinch his cheeks. But she refrained from doing so. Its too soon... Instead she smiled and waved cheerfully, ears perked and tail happily wagging. How ever part of her knew he isnt just an average student. He was awfully young to be in beacon.


Carter looked at the fluff ball beside him, who was bouncing joyfully in the corner of his eye, he pointed to her,"You must be Azure, the faunus," he pointed to Mel next,"Melania," then moved to Kuro," And Kuro, the leader." Carter gave a curt nod,"Yes i am your temporary replacement, dont know how long but i over heard them considering i stay permenantly," he looked at Ozpin's tower in the distance,"Guess this is a trial run..."


The faunus nodded when the new kid got her name right, and she clapped with encouragement when he recited all their names. She placed her thumbs between her chest the straps of her backpack looked at Kuro giving him a nod, suggesting they get moving as Glynda instructed. They can get to know eachother on Beacon's grounds. Carter watched Azure speak silently, that was something he would have to get used to. He sighed again, he'd kill to just be sleeping some where right now. Carter didnt quite understand the whole team thing. Its not that he couldnt, he just didnt want to. Being put into small teams isnt something they do at Signal, and quite honestly he liked the solitude. No one bothered him. But here at Beacon, he had to work with people, real people! And he had to...talk with them.

With everyone doing something, Boomer came into the building, he stood in the main entrance, and looked around. He knew no one here, and he held a letter that Invited him to attend Beacon. When he looked over the letter, he was confused as to why they wanted a street rat like him to attend what appeared to be a school of higher standards. "Why would they want me here? Why me, of all people?" he asked in his mind as he walked further, and into the halls. Though other students glare at him for a second, they return to what they were doing. "Just as I thought. I am with a bunch of snobs. Yeah sure, Don't mind this Street rat." he said as he saw Carter, Azure, Mel, and Kuro. he stopped, and stared at Azure. He happened to be fond of Faunus very much, since he was raised by a Faunus couple. He nervously walked up to them, and spoke calmly. "Hi guys..... My name is..... Boomer Thorson.... what are yours?" he asked, feeling chills run down his spine as he began to feel incredibly nervous. @theManCalledSting @HoneyBear\-Kat

The petite faunus walked happily ahead of the group. She left the others behind to chat and mingle amongst themselves with the new addition to the group. She didnt mind. Azure was a daydreamer. While she walked she wore a smile, and her eyes roamed from other students to trees and statues and whatever else was near her. Her mind was elsewhere, not present. Thumbs still tucked between her backpack's straps like little school girl, the fox stopped when she collided with an obstacle in her path,"Oof!" she mumbled. She staggered back a little and regained her balance. She looked to see what it was. Her eyes started from the bottom, at a pair of shoes, then trailed up to a face. Her smile disappeared and she looked up at the stranger taking a few steps back closer to the rest of the group. She backed into Carter who was right behind her and the boy instantly looked down at her. At first a little shocked but then he frowned,"Get off..." He said through gritted teeth and nudged her away with his forearm. Azure was slightly pushed away but she ignored it, instead she moved closer to Kuro and Mel. Slightly between them she eyed the tall stranger cautiously, her nose twitched when gathering his scent, and her tail stood frozen. With Mel and Kuro on either side of her, her small hands moved to grab Kuro and Mel's sleeve for security.


Carter however stood in place and crossed his arms,"Boomer Thorson," Carter repeated, acknowledging him,'Theres someone who knows how to introduce himself first,' he glanced at Kuro briefly then looked back at the stranger,"Im Carter, nice to meet you." However something was off about this guy, he seemed jittery and anxious. Carter carefully studied him with a raised eyebrow and narrowed eyes, trying to get a feel for the guy.

Curve had made his way to the infirmiry and taken a seat next to the sleeping Sward. His juicebox he'd left was gone, so he assumed Sward had drank it first as to not deplete the ever present supply he had stuffed in his coat some way or another. Curve never really could figure it out, but Sward knew how to manage his space. Once, when one of their team members from Shade was wounded, Sward had pactched her up with a first aid kit he'd stuck in an altoids can.


Sward began to stirr. Curve, who was relaxing in the chair next to him, straightened his posture and adjusted his tie. "You're up." He stated. Curve had brought with him a sub from the cafeteria. He offered it to Sward, he must have been hungry. "How's your leg holdin' up?" Curve had looked at it before, nothing too terribly bad. Mostly it was just a flesh wound and a second degree burn, blisters running up the back of his leg. Curve figured Locke's bow had some sort of shock element to it, maybe even glass. Maybe a combination of both. He didn't care. The initial shock from the bolt fired from the bow was probably what had kept Sward from walking too well in the first place. Now he was better, and on the road to recovery, but did the incident still warrent a punch to the face? 'Yes,' Curve thought, 'Yes it did.'





Bringing himself back to reality, Curve stretched, moving his hands upwards and over his head. With a loud breath, he relaxed again. "I will be leaving tonight for a little bit. Some of my people from Vacuo are here. You remember Junior right? That time I took you, Riley, and Noir to the club?" Now that right there was a story to tell. Perhaps not the time now, though. "He's one of them. You haven't met the others yet. If you want to, you can come, I'll be seeing them alot more than just once, but until you're healed, I want you to stay in bed."

"And from the streets," the new newbie added after mentioning that it was nice to meet him. Only it wasnt. Meeting Carter was never a nice thing. They boy doesnt have a filter, he says what he wants. Not to be mean but to be honest and frank. Carter wasnt the type to 'beat around the bush' as they say, he charges through it not really considering what the other person may feel or how he/she will respond. "I didn't exactly ask but thats good to keep in mind," he said. You can tell in his voice he was younger than Boomer, or Kuro. He was slightly tall for his age but his voice wasnt as matured quite yet, nor was it scratchy.


Suddenly, Boomer's attitude changed. He folded his arms over his chest, a confrontational or serious gesture. Carter looked at him, still with unchanging, unimpressed eyes. "I hope you dont rub me at all," he started (take that as you may),"I have eyes, Im entitled to stare if I want..." he said monotonely. He wasnt trying to be a smart ass...he just was one, naturally. He simply is a smart ass. The young lad shruged,"If you dont like it then dont look at me..." he blinked at the taller male in seriousness,"or you could have politely asked me not to...like a civilized person."


Carter could feel tension spiking up from the stranger in front of him and it was Carter's natural reaction to not react at all. If he got upset too, all hell would break loose. And after the encounter woth Curve and Locke, it was safe to assume no one wanted that. "In which case I would have gladly complied..." there it was, his boring logic that always came out. His logic also (at times) came off as being a jerk.

"You sound like a total jerk, Kid... No offence obviously," pointed out Mel with bluntness to her voice before she shifted to a very apologetic demeanor, "I mean... Why can we talk about something else? Like what you think of your teammates? First Impressions are everything, you know," she tried to change the subject awkwardly and hoped it doesn't turn her to the target of her young teammate's teasing... She knows how kids act, and she hates that.

Boomer chuckled, and pats carter's shoulder. "You're funny. I was simply kidding around." Boomer said as he looked at Mel. "And what is your name?" He asked in a much lighter tone, feeling as if he was slowly becoming friends with this group. @theManCalledSting @HoneyBear\-Kat
 
Carter Greyson

​



"You sound like a total jerk, kid..." Mel informed Carter. Oh but he was fully aware. The boy turned his head slightly to look at her,"Oh?" he mocked a shocked expression, with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. Then he returned to wearig his his normal, emotionless mask,"I wasn't aware that 'pleasing Melania' was anywhere in the job description," he paused,"Im just here to do what i was told, and that is to fill in your fourth spot, and get rid of grimm," he informed her.


Then Boomer pat Carter's shoulder (aghhh physical contact), making the boy whip his head around to look at him again. The young lad instantly scowled, now he was giving him a look. And with every pat he'd tense up from thw shoulders and grumble under his breath. His jaw clenched and he spoke through his teeth again,"I do no like to be touched..." well...it was more of a mumble, quiet enough to be missed.


For the sake of sanity (and keeping his crap together) he bit his tongue and let it slide this time. His lower lip formed a subtle pout as Mel introduced herself to Boomer, resisting all urges to let his short temper get to him.

[QUOTE="Emperor Of Embers]"Hi melania." Boomer said as he took his hand away from carter, and looked at azure. "You remind me of someone.... Someone I once knew....." He said as flashbacks of his Parents' deaths ran in his mind, since his adoptive mother was a fox faunus as well. @HoneyBear\-Kat @theManCalledSting

The small faunus watched as Boomer interacted with the rest of the group. She felt a little nervous when Carter spoke though, but luckily, Boomer didnt take it to heart, or get mad. She did agree with Mel, however, he was a little rude. Not purposefully mean, just rude. But the fox couldnt be upset with the little guy.


Mel introduced herself next to the strange guy that approached them. The petite girl let go of Mel's sleeve as she did so, not wanting to distract her or draw attention away from her. Even though it seemed like she did with out even trying since Boomer directed his attention toward herself next. Still gripping Kuro's sleeve (maybe even tighter now that theres attention on her) she stool a small step closer to him, feeling especially secure near their team leader. "You remind me of someone..." he said to her, with studious eyes. Azure looked up at him and blinked then looked away. "Someone i once knew..." she could hear the curiosity in his voice. Her heterochromic eyes shifted back to him. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth like she was going to speak but instead shut it quickly, looking away once again. Little by little she was inching further and further behind Kuro, in attempt to hide.


What Mel said about herself afterward made Azure a little sad. She earned a soft, gentle, and comforting pat on the arm, followed by a head shake with a concerned look to protest that it wasnt true.

"Goodness, Azure are you okay?" asked Mel with concern in her voice. She then turned to the strange man and said, "I do apologize, Azure's shy girl, but she's a sweet heart when you get to know her," she explained with a bright smile. She then returned to comfort her teammate, Azure, "It's okay, sweet heart, if you're not ready to introduce yourself, it's fine."

THE VALE DOCKS


Jackal listened to his scroll a bit before he was absolutely sure the connection ended. He sure didn't want to accidentially hang up on the boss, especially in this important of a situation. The last guy who did got the snot beat out of him. With a sigh and a stretch, Jackal stuck the scroll back in his pocket.


The youngest of the group spoke up almost immediately. "Well? What did he say? What's happening next? Drug trafficing? Property distribution? Extortion? Whoring? Territorial gains? Illegal gambling rings? A fight club? How abou-" "Enough of yeh jumpin about Romie," Fudge spat his cigarette out on the ground, grinding it under his heel. Much like the boss, He favored shoes with heavy soles, but instead of boots, fudge wore loafers. It wasn't wise to make more noise than the boss. "Jack'll tell us what 'e wants when 'e's good an' ready." Fudge drew himself to his full height, only to scrunch his shoulders about him. He was taller than the others, but incredibly lanky. And pale. Almost slenderman-like. Fudge pulled out his knife and spun it in his hand. Unlike the others, he was one of the only members of the gang in the higher-ups who prefered traditional weaponry. No fancy-shmancy swords or gunchucks for this guy, a knife and a pistol was all he needed. The pistol did shoot tranquilizer darts as well as bullets though. Double barreled. Aww hell, Fudge wasn't too conventional.


"Well boys." Jackal said, wringing his hands a bit nervously. "I'm guessin by the tone of voice that it wasn't exactly a good time for the boss. What I can tell by the amount of money he's wired us is that he wants us to buy a place. Junior?" Junior, who was practice swinging his bat at one of the poles on the docks, looked up and smiled. "How 'bout a rundown warehouse? Schnee corp pretty much leaves them all over the place. Get it for almost nothing, make it a party place." Fudge laughed, lighting another cigarette. "Heh! Dis guy..." he laughed, tossing the lighter to Roman. That was the signal they used to tell him it was ok to talk now. The grownups were done pitching their own ideas for now, Roman could talk. "Well, Junior does have the right idea." He said, lighting a tobacco product of his own, taking a short drag and puffing out smoke, "It would be perfect. Once we get the deed, we can furnish it just like Juniors club back in Vacuo. But here's the catch... Roman paused for dramatic effect, picturing his vision with his hands, one holding his cane, the other his cigar, "Secret... Ass... Rooms! Eh?" Fudge smiled goodnaturedly, as much as someone with his demeanor could (which looked more like he was going to eat Roman) But Jackal nodded, Junior stroked his stubbled chin.


"I get it, like a false wall in the back, where we can just put shit back in there. Like rooms for the gang, storage and all that." Roman nodded, glad that the leader of their current group had approved his idea. Now this, this was good. The amount of money Curve had wired Jackal was more than enough to get started here. Junior would be able to start up his business and rake in even more. In time, they'd have even more people in their cartel, and take over enough territory to call themselves an international power. Being in Vacuo, and Vale, and all. Curve really knew what he was doing, and Jackal did not want to be the one to disappoint the big man.


All was going well, until Fudge noticed a cloaked figure watching them from a particularly dark spot in the shadows. "EY! Emo! State yeh reasons." Fudge pointed his knife at the claked figure.

Kuro stood with his arms crossed as the new arrival approached, who identified himself as Boomer. Azure ran into the kid as she scurried away towards the dorms. She then, startled, ran back towards the group and hid behind himself and Mel. Carter kept looking over to Kuro as he spoke with Boomer, which probably meant that this kid had a problem with him. This would have to be addressed later.


As Mel continued to chat with Boomer, Kuro shifted in his spot and finally decided it was time to go. It might've been a bit out there for him, but he needed to have a serious discussion with his team. He approached Boomer and Mel.


"I really hate to break up such a nice conversation, but I really need to talk with my team back in our room. My name's Kuro, by the way, Boomer, and I wish you good luck. Team, meet me back in the dorm as soon as you can. We need to talk," he briefly stated before starting a brisk walk back to their room.

"Oh goodness, I'm so sorry, but it is getting late, but it was a pleasure to meet you," Mel said with a smile as she rushed to Azure's side, "So Azure, are you feeling okay, dear?" Mel said as she continued to stick to Azure like glue. "If you need any help with your homework, then don't be afraid to come to me, okay? I'm always happy to help!" she said as she gave Azure a warm welcoming smile.

As soon as kuro came up, he felt saddened to have the conversation cut short, but alas, it had to be done. "Nice to meet you too, kuro. If you guys have business to talk about, then I will leave." he said as he walked away, leaving the team to their business. "That did not last long at all. Welp, how about we head down to the forest, eh?" he thought as he was heading there anyway. There will be nights where he was watched as he beat down a pack of Beowulves due to the fact of blowing off steam. Despite being a student now, he was up to his old habits, and felt like kicking some tail. When Outside in the forest, he unsheathed LightBreaker, and took a deep breath. "They should be coming soon. Remember that huge pack we took on a week ago? there should be a bigger one now." He thought as he readied himself, for he had a lot of repressed anger to release. He could also feel someone watching him closely, ready to stop him if needed. @theManCalledSting @apoliseno @Alstromeria (If you wanna do Glenda and Ozpin for this, that is fine. I am limited on time, since I am going to be busy in a few minutes.)
 
"Ohhhh... That's just hurtful." Jett walked out from where he was hiding. The light was reflecting off of his mask, as well as his gigantic sword. "Easy there. Do you not know the old saying... Don't shoot the messenger?" Jetts footsteps seem to echo but it was most likely because he was the only one walking. "Gentleman.. I have come to you with a modest proposal. You see you are trespassing on my turf. Don't you gangsters still follow the honor among thieves code? No? Well any way back to business. Your arrival here did not go unnoticed and I'm here to lend a hand of friendship. All you need to do is to just stay out of our way and there won't be any bad blood between our groups. Most of the underground organizations are under my boss's control, and you see he isn't all that for competition. So allow me to summarize it. You either join us, or go back to where you came from in a hearse." Jett then flinged a tiny card that hit Fudge's dagger. Jett then turned around and unsheathed his blade which he then used to cut open a dark pocket dimension and calmly stepped into. "My card. And please don't forget we have eyes and ears everywhere. Oh and next time try using a more secure line to make your calls and please tell your boss that I said hello." And with that he snapped his fingers and the space closed and Jett disappeared without a trace.


@Alstromeria


Sward woke again to see his friend Curve. He knew he lived a secret life and always wondered about it but Sward respected Curve's privacy. As Curve left to visit his "friends" and Sward was all alone now. Sward felt a lot better than he did earlier. He then tried to stand and stumbled for a second but caught himself. He looked outside noting that the storm had stopped and was getting dark. As he tried to get to the door the Nurse stopped him and forced him to use a sheath that can turn his weapon into a cane in a sense so that he could get back to his dorm room. As Sward stepped out he was wearing different clothes that was given very generously by the nurse. As he walked to the dorms he could hear whispers from the other fellow students who commented about the way he looked. As he heard their comments one though went through Swards mind. "Oh that can't be right." Apparently he looked like a younger version of Ozpin with a helm on his head. He had the walk and clothes since the nurse made him take off his armor which was stained and slightly torn. Ah well it didn't matter. As he made his way through he saw Kuro along with his team and some other students.


@Everyone


Locke stayed in the arena a little longer and then followed Oj. It was a tough day so far. He would take Glynda up on her offer and skip the rest of his classes. As Locke was talking to Oj in the dorms he spotted he Kuro and his team acting how a team should be. A dark swelling built up in Locke, but he had to still fight on. He then walked over to them for a nice chat until he saw what appeared to be his Headmasters come walking towards him. (Locke is still so depressed he can't tell that Sward is walking towards him.)

The faunus listened as Boomer apologized. He wasnt a bad guy, she figured. She looked at him while he explained that she reminded him of his mother. Azure felt a tinge of guilt for hiding from someone that softhearted. She came out from hiding, slowly, but surely. The fox gave a warm and gentle smile when Boomer admitted he was rambling. Azure opened her mouth, about to speak, when Kuro cut them short. She closed her mouth and looked at her leader with a scowl, a little upset she was inturrupted but her face softened. Kuro wanted to talk, and by the sound of it, it seemed pretty serious.


After instructing the team to randezvous at the room, Mel instantly took action on sticking with the petite vixen. Mel offered help with homework but Azure shook her head with a nervous smile. Azure never had much trouble with homework. She was bright, just quiet. Then she looked at Boomer with her different colored eyes and smiled. She waved, saying her goodbyes, and walked past him, not exactly behind Kuro but not too far either.


Carter, who kept quiet, bowed his head as he passed Boomer, acknowledging him and saying goodbye in his own way. He moved after Azure and Mel did, lingering in the back of the group, he preferred it that way. Kuro, of course, led the way, and a few feet behind him were the girls, and feet behind them was Carter.


Azure continued her way through Beacon, through hallways and past buildings. And as they passed through a particular part of the campus, her semblance notified her of a familiar aura near by. She stopped in her tracks, ears perked and eyes alert. Down a little ways was Sward. She had breifly mistaked him for Ozpin, but his visible aura and distinct juice scent gave away his identity as much as the helmet did. She watched him get closer, and noticed the cane he was using. She frowned, and silently hoped he was alright. The concerned and worrisome faunus took 2-3 steps in his direction before stopping again. This time she felt another aura present. To her side, Locke was making his way to them, in their direction. She looked between the two, not really knowing who to check up on first. She worried for Locke's emotional state and she was concerned for Sward's wound. Azure was the nuturing type, and seeing people in trouble or having difficulty (whether it be in a physical or emotional sense) switcjed on her motherly instincts. She wasnt sure what to do except wait till all three parties crossed paths...
