[He's more than aware that Qrow died. Ruby having a complete emotional meltdown clued him in pretty heavily on that one. Still, this is Ruby's family, not his. He's left them be to deal with their own wounds- work through their own stuff. But he'd be remiss if he didn't check up on Qrow- especially with Yang gone.]
Hey. Checking up on you. October was pretty awful, huh?
[It's been awhile. He knows he probably should've checked in on this kid sooner, but it's been a long month and there's been an absurd amount of fires to put out. So when he gets a message from him a couple weeks after coming back from the dead, he's pretty quick to respond.]
somehow completely outdid july, which is almost impressive when you think about it i'm doing well enough though
[' Putting out all the fires' is pretty much how all of October has gone for Varian. He's pretty damn tired at this point. ]
Agreed. I never thought anything would be worse than July, but here we are.
I'm glad to hear it. I heard what happened, I'm sorry.
[Kind of hard to miss when your girlfriend is having a complete mental breakdown over half her family dying horribly. There's a pause before he replies, a few little '...''s dotting there as he figures out how to answer this.]
Not great. I lost a leg. But I'm doing about as good as I can.
[Ah. Qrow grimaces as he reads the last text, thinking on how absurd it is to die and come back without more than a scar where he was wounded while the kid's permanently maimed, but he says nothing on it.]
just life in deerington, i guess if you need anything, let me know
[He's not in great shape to be walking around doing errands for anyone but he can fly again without falling out of the sky so that's good enough.]
[Wow, cruel and unusual, Varian! He thought they had a CONNECTION. Reformed-slash-ing dumpster fires should unite shouldn't they???]
oh i don't know, varian you say that but i think you're forgetting the critical point that you're talking to the very bored uncle of someone you're dating just wanted to point that out, that's all :)
That's a very good point but equally you're talking to the boyfriend of your niece who would definitely do anything crazy at the drop of the hat with little to no provocation.

Just one of those things. It could have been worse.
I think you should probably focus more on resting. The death flu isn't fun and you'd only make yourself worse if you push yourself.
no subject
i've probably laid around more the last couple weeks than i have in the last ten years
[He feels like shit garbage but he also like .... wants to be useful...]
i can do a couple small errands at least
[He says, barely able to walk around the house keeping the incense lit without feeling winded.]

If you end up collapsed on the floor somewhere, don't think for a second I won't sell you out to Ruby. I know where my priorities are, there.

[Is he going to regret this stupid stunt he's pulling for the sake of his pride? Absolutely. Is he going to do it anyway? You bet your ass.]
no subject
No, I don't need anything. Just checking in, I know Ruby was worried.
