[There's a few of these things he didn't know, admittedly, but if he were in person he would still roll his eyes. He's especially unimpressed with "The things I don't have control over right now scare the hell out of me, Qrow."]
yeah well join the club i've spent my whole life being terrified of things out of my control and having to find ways to do something about them anyway
[The angriest possible way to tell someone about your Semblance without actually telling them anything of substance? Check.]
but you'll have to forgive me if i don't exactly buy that you're suddenly soooo concerned about ruby's well-being now
Enlightened Self-Interest, Qrow. I don't actually want to hurt Ruby right now, but I'm not interested in going out of my way for her. We're not friends because of what's happened, just not enemies. But the meager hope I have of being happy in my life for the first time in years depends on me getting this right. So, no. This isn't because I suddenly care so much about her. This is about me caring about myself and Emerald more than it is about her.
But, forgive me. I think we've chatted enough. The bottle's on your porch. Hopefully I don't see you around for a long time.
