[ Vyng notices the shift in Qrow's demeanor. But he barely registers what he just said, much less why it might hit a nerve. Because he was more concerned with the feeling behind it.

A sincere sentiment, in other words — clumsily packaged inside a careless, offhanded phrase. ]


You're selling yourself short, buddy. If I had to pick a guide, it'd totally be you. Hands down. Wouldn't even think twice about it.

"Someone" like me? More options?

[ A flat tone creeps into Vyng's voice too. Partly because he doesn't exactly appreciate being called one — but the majority of it comes from feeling like he missed a step in this weird dance they've got going on: Stay away. Let's be friends. Not too close, now. One two three, one two three...

But people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And to be honest, Vyng would rather figure out where the misstep happened to begin with. Because he clearly did something wrong. ]


Care to explain what you mean there, pal?

[ Unseen on the other side of the call, Vyng props his chin with his hand...and gives a thoughtful hum. When he speaks next, the flat quality from before has already melted away like a thin patch of snow. ]

Okay. So maybe you're kinda like a cactus. And I lean more toward the jade-plant side of the succulent spectrum — the succ-trum, if you will. But we've got plenty in common too.

[ Puns always take the sting out of things! That's one reason why Vyng throws them around at even the most inappropriate times.

As for their similarities, their shared ability to shapeshift is probably the most obvious one. But it's only skin deep. Transmutation magic is a separate beast from druidism — technically and philosophically — and so there's little overlap to speak of.

So, instead, Vyng tries to highlight what he's learned or observed about Qrow since first meeting him. ]


We're both family men, for one thing.
