You're not at fault for the General's poor choices, Qrow. You should know that much. No one forced his hand, least of all you. It was never your responsibility to save him.
If he wishes to make amends, he's working on borrowed time now. Next move is his.
That's the thing. . you don't. Usually, there's some kind of cry for help. Even if they're unwilling, there's something that gives away that they want that help, deep down.
With him. . I don't know. I suppose I don't know him well enough, not like you do anyway. I couldn't say.
I get it. It's not easy to see the people you look up to grow to be what you despise. It was certainly a wake up call for me.
He's done so much that I. . Well, you get it. It's hard for me to find sympathy, but I can see that what happened at Beacon was hard for him. Everyone.
It sounds like you two were very close, although I'm sure I'm not even close to understanding the half of it.
I heard a lot of stories about James, mostly when I was attending Atlas. Despite my. . distaste for the military, I actually looked up to him quite a bit back then.
@LuckiestTops Mantle bars can get pretty rowdy though, you sure you're up for it?"
There was a teasing glint in her eye. She hoped it would make him less on edge, if he even was, to know she was willing to be more open & friendly.
@LuckiestTops "Seriously? Heh. Didn't think you'd cave so easily."
Admittedly, this would be strange. She'd thought of the Ace Ops as enemies for so long that she'd forgotten they were their own people too, outside of who they worked for. Perhaps it had been unjust.
"Oh, you know it. +
That's kind of you to say. . but could you really imagine ME with kids? Gods, siblings were enough growing up. Heh. I was starting to wonder about the hair. Lucky it suits you.
You know, I'm beginning to see the appeal. He makes it real easy.
You don't need to thank me for that, Qrow. I'd have it again, if need be.
Well, I suppose you're right. I don't envy you. . don't think I could ever be a parental figure of any kind. I'd go grey!
Oh, you can count on that. It's in his nature. You'll likely grow tired of me.
Me? You implying I couldn't survive without you, Branwen? Bold.
. .Not entirely untrue either. I've enjoyed your company, despite the circumstances.
Don't say that. About the kids. I can see they appreciate you being around. Just make sure you choose what's right for you, hm?

Selfish? Certainly not. When you consider the man he's working under, you stealing him away sounds like a golden ticket leading directly out of this nightmare.
So I've been told. Just think about it.
@LuckiestTops "We're not so different. We're on the same side, if you can look past all the other stuff. Both fiercely loyal to people and ideals we consider just."
In truth, it had made more sense in her head. However, she was committed now.
