It's not. And he might have been. I could definitely see that considering the secrets he kept from us back home. I just- I just wish we were better at this whole thing when we're supposed to be all living together.
[She wasn't surprised to read that next bit. But it's not like he had told her about it either.]
I get it. You might want to try though. It might help her get the whole Oz thing too. And why it's splitting us all up like this.
yeah...well, at least we should have time to get better at it not like we're going anywhere, right?
but i dunno think it might make things worse honestly if she reacts like this about trench messing with someone how the hell's she ever going to accept that i'm just cursed
You've got a point there. How are you feeling about that, anyways? We haven't really had a chance to talk about that.
It could do that- I mean that's the risk you take with trying to trust anyone. But I think what's happening with Oz just hits a little closer to home for her. I think if she had some perspective from the other other side it might calm her down about that. You have to remember that you're awesomeness really overshadows things like that, Uncle Qrow. If she sees that you struggle with something like that too and manage it. It might give her a bit more faith in Oz.
guess not huh there's been a lot going on when you drop by we can chat about it over some cookies?
[And it'll buy him some time to actually think about it. Ever since they woke up on the beach, he's tried to bury the war and his last connections to Remnant and turn away from it -- it's the advice he'd given Winter, too, and he doesn't really know how else to handle the situation. Thinking on what they've left behind feels as bottomless a pit as the one Ruby and her team fell into, and he's not sure he ought to look into it.
...At the same time, now that she's asked, he doesn't want to just brush it off with something like hey don't worry about it, I'm fine He has been trying to do better than that, since Argus.
Somehow it's easier to address the latter, even as much as it's painful. Trust is not something he gives out freely; he's habitually cynical and paranoid, burned enough times that he expects fire around every corner, even as he puts on his most flammable clown shoes for others again and again.]
...maybe not so sure she thinks of me as particularly awesome right now, but i'll think about it
[It's a step up from a flat refusal, at least, which is a lot coming from Qrow.]
The noise my stomach just made. Of course we can. How busy are you right now?
[Look she has a one track mind and hanging out with her uncle and eating cookies sounds like the best time. Plus she's always a little worried about how he's doing here. Whether he's making friends or just finding a way to enjoy life despite their circumstances.]
No. Maybe not. But it might be the first step in becoming awesome. No pressure. I just think we need a little bit of that in the house right no. I appreciate you thinking about it.
