Good afternoon,

I’m Winter Schnee and I’m in need of assistance. This is not a D.A.R.T. matter or related to public safety, it’s a personal matter. I need to know if there is anyone that has information regarding the care of a Warg. For the most part I’m familiar with the diet she had previously, but I’m not certain about the frequency or the amount of exercise and training that I should be providing for her. And I’m doubtful of some of the answers that she has provided me.

In addition, I’m in search of a plumber and carpenter to take care of damages that were recently sustained to our house.

Finally, for anyone that was attempting to reach me in the past weeks, I am now monitoring the network once more and will resume my usual responsibilities at this time. If there is a matter that requires my attention please notify me as soon as possible.

Perhaps you should have this conversation with Qrow then, he can be stubborn, insensitive, idiotic, and a drunk. But he cares deeply about his family, it is likely his only redeemable quality.

Though it's also proof that the instability of that house is in need of the incense far more than I am.

[Winter takes a sip of tea from her cup. This is why you kept things professional, why you didn't make it personal with those that you worked with.]

Being too close can be just as hard given the effects of some months.

[ She groans. Mostly at the suggestion to go talk to Qrow about it. After all, he seemed so set in his entire idea that Ange sincerely doubts the man would listen to her if she tried to talk it over with him.

It's what makes this conversation so difficult too, she thinks. No matter how close she has grown with Ruby, there's still a barrier between her and all the people important to Ruby. All the people from Remnant. Winter, too. Ange is still an outsider, and it feels like there are lines that she can't quite cross because of it.

Still, just leaving Winter alone with that thought feels.. wrong. But what can she do about it?

What would Ruby say or do, if she had been here? ]

I bet there are people worried about you though.

Not that I'm aware of. Other than Rei most of my contacts here have been limited to the job. Weiss has been gone for a long time, even when Clover was here we barely spoke, and Penny returned home a long time ago as well.

[Winter was still capable of fighting, she had not been injured or her ability to perform her duties compromised, so why would they worry?]

The only person that I communicate with regularly is the former director of FEAR, Vira-Lorr.

And Iris, but she seems to be more irritated than worried.

.. you don't think Ruby is worried about you? You know how much she cares about people.

[ To a surprising degree, really. It's exactly what Ange likes so much about the other girl - but it also makes for a very convenient cover right now.

It's easier than saying 'I'm worried about you,' after all, when Ange's dumb emotions are so worried about seeming overly invested in someone she might not know super well. She doesn't like showing just how soft she is. ]

And with everything that's happened..

[ With Rei leaving, Ange mostly means, though is tactful to not mention that directly. ]

I can't imagine there's no one thinking about you.

I know how much she cares about those who deserve it. If she's worried about me, then she shouldn't be. And her time and thoughts are best spent on more important things.

[And with everything that's happened, the only reason any of them should think about Winter was how she failed to stop Cinder. How she failed to save any of them. How even in Deerington she'd been on the General's side of things.]

Not many knew outside of her friends and those who Ruby might have told. And Usagi is busy missing Rei for her own reasons, she hasn't even been able to come by and claim a few of Rei's things she wanted.

[A small ring of frost formed around the edge of Winter's cup, stemming from the handle where she held it.]

No one should worry about me. I'll be fine, we had a plan for if this happened. We had accepted it was a possible outcome.

[It was just that Winter never expected for Rei to be the one to leave.]

[ Yikes. That ice on the cup? That can't be good. It's such a small thing, but Ange immediately notices it. Perhaps it's because she's so sensitive towards small signs, usually being the type to hide away everything.

But it's a sign that maybe Winter is already too far gone into her own misery to take advice from someone who might as well be a stranger. Maybe someone closer to her would be able to do more, but.. really, what can Ange do here?

Probably not much. ]

.. maybe we could make a deal?

[ Ange knows it's a bit of an odd thing to say now, so she quickly continues. ]

I can bring her stuff over to Usagi's place. [ She's been stopping by there a few times ever since Rei disappeared anyway, to check up on Usagi. ] In return..

[ Ange clasps her hands together, and as they glow with a golden light, she opens them slightly, only to let a small butterfly made out of golden light fly out of the gap. ]

Could you let my little friend here hang around? I know you have Iris, but this will also help warn you about danger. [ And - maybe more importantly - it will also give Ange a heads up if something is wrong with Winter. Or, well, more wrong than right now, anyway. ]

[Winter noticed as well, though she didn't mention it and simply covered the cup with her napkin. Something similar had happened with the sink, only it had frozen and burst the entire basin and pipe. Winter took a deep breath flexing her fingers a little, they were stiff.]

If you'd like, I could put it in a box to make it easier.

[As for the butterfly, Winter watched it. It seemed harmless enough, but she wasn't entirely certain.]

What does it do? Is it for surveillance or does it have some form of warding?

[ Ange nods at the mention of the box. That ought to make things a little easier to move around, especially since Ange isn't exactly the strongest person around..

But it's the other thing that she actually verbally replies to. ]

It's a little bit of both. [ The butterfly floats down, landing on Ange's hand. ] It can keep an eye on the surroundings of your house, and it'll let you know if anything resembling a threat is approaching. It'll fly over to you in a way that seems urgent.

Alright, I can accept that. Though I don't that will be an issue, if it will ease your mind a little it's a precaution that I'll take.

[If it didn't have a way to send information to Ange or record Winter's activities then it wasn't intrusive, and having an additional set of eyes wouldn't hurt in securing the perimeter of her home.]

Thank you.

.. it will.

[ Ease her mind, she means, though Ange is hesitant to say as much with as many words. She's just too easily embarrassed by displays of feelings to say that, so this is the closest she can get to admitting that.

She releases a breath, and then nods at Winter. Finishing up her drink, she stands up. ]

Please take care.
