A/N: Hello again everyone! I'm back, sort of. I don't think I will be able to do daily chapters for a while, but I will be aiming for a chapter every other day or so. I hope you all are doing well and are having a good weekend. Enjoy the chapter and let me know what you think. Rhino out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sara: "You're back early Topaz, who is this?"
Topaz: "Hey mom, this is-"
Sienna: "Sara? Is that really you?"
Sara: "I'm sorry, do I know you?"
Sienna: "Should have figured you wouldn't recognize me. It was a very long time ago after all."
Sara: "When exactly did we meet?"
Sienna: "Sara, it's me, Sienna."
Sienna proceeds to lower the hood she had covering her head to show herself to Sara completely.
Neo: "Good to see you again Sienna."
Ariel: "Hi Sienna."
Sienna: "Hello again you two."
Sara: "Sienna?! Gods, it's been so long!"
Sienna: "It has indeed been too long."
Topaz: "Wait, you two know each other?"
Sienna: "We met every once in a while, when she was first in Menagerie. It started off badly, I will admit, but Sara here was pretty easy to get along with after a while."
Sara: "Started badly is putting it lightly Sienna. You did try to cut my arm off the moment you saw me."
Sienna: "Well Menagerie was supposed to be a safe place for us faunus, and you were a human. I will admit to overreacting, but it's not like anyone got hurt."
Sara: "Your partner's nose was shattered."
Sienna: "He's fine now, it's all in the past."
Sara: "He tried attacking again the next time we met up."
Sienna: "Yeah, but you weren't hurt."
Sara: "My husband dislocated his shoulder for Oum's sake Sienna."
Sienna: "Ok, so maybe some people got hurt."
Sara: "No, he was the only one to get hurt out of all of that."
Sienna: "Maybe that's why he tried to kill me when Adam took over."
Sara: "He what?!"
Sienna: "It's a long story Sara, and I'm more than happy to tell you. But first I'd like to catch up with you. You suddenly stopped coming to our meetings and I worried something happened to you."
Sara: "Well in a way something did. I had a kid."
Sienna: "I would love to meet them sometime."
Sara: "You already have Sienna."
Sienna: "I have? When?"
Sara: "I don't know when you did."
Sienna: "Then how do you know I've met them then?"
Topaz: "Uh, hi Sienna."
Sienna: "Hi Topaz? Why are you saying hi?"
Sara: "Sienna, Topaz is the child."
Sienna: "Really?! Looking at him closer, I do see the resemblance between him and you and your husband."
Sara: "I'd like to think he takes after me more than Alex."
Sienna: "Of course he does, he has your good looks and desire to help people. He's saved my life in more ways than I've been able to keep track of."
Topaz: "I really didn't do much Sienna."
Sara: "Well, no matter what you did or didn't do Topaz, thank you. Sienna was probably the only friend I made while I lived in Menagerie because of how things were, so I'm happy to know the two of you have already met and are on good terms, and proud of you for helping those who needed it."
The door to the house opens and Haley runs out and jumps at Sara, hugging her legs.
Sara: "Oh, hi there Haley. How are you?"
Haley: "I'm good mommy, who's that?"
Sara: "This is Sienna, a good friend of mine."
Haley: "Sena?"
Sara: "Close, it's See-en-ah."
Haley: "Sienna?"
Sara: "That's right! Good job Haley."
Haley: "Hehe, I did it!"
Sara: "Sienna, this is my daughter, Haley."
Sienna: "She looks just like you Sara. Hi there Haley."
Haley: "Hiii~."
Topaz: "Neo, Ariel, come on, let's let those two catch up. Let us know if you need us mom."
Sara: "Will do Topaz, you behave yourself."
Topaz: "Maybe."
Walking away from the others, Topaz leads Neo and Ariel back into the forest and back to the clearing he met Sienna at. Once they arrive, Topaz lies down in the grass and enjoys the serene atmosphere. Ariel sits against a tree off to his right, and Neo stands off to his left.
Topaz: "I was not expecting to find Sienna here."
Ariel: "I was surprised when you came out of the forest with someone following you."
Neo: "I was sure it was another girl for you to distract yourself with."
Topaz: "Neo, that hurts. You two are more than I'll ever need."
Neo: "I know Topaz, I'm teasing you."
Ariel: "I don't know Neo, he does disappear for weeks at a time sometimes."
Topaz: *sigh* "I'm sorry Ariel. I don't mean to be gone so much."
Ariel: "I know, I'm teasing as well."
Topaz: "You may be teasing yes, but I am still gone much more than I should be without you two."
Neo: "You will just have to make it up to us. I for one, am up for anything."
Neo slowly walks towards to lake, looks over her shoulder, and gives Topaz a flirty wink. Ariel stands up and walks over to Noe, turning back to Topaz and sticking out her tongue. Chuckling to himself, Topaz stands up and makes his way over to them. He gives each of them a kiss on the cheek before turning to the forest, where he hears a branch snap. Not too long after, Qrow walks into the clearing with a smirk on his face.
Qrow: "Well I hate to interrupt the three of your private time, but Summer wants to see you Topaz."
Topaz: "Sure thing Qrow. I take it everything went well with dropping him off?"
Qrow: "Nothing out of the ordinary. The stick up James' ass has grown in size so I would recommend you stay away from there."
Topaz: "More paranoid than usual?"
Qrow: "Much more. Hell, walking around Mantle is like walking through a prison. His robots walking the street making sure the citizens are obeying every law, a mandatory curfew that if broken leads to arrest. It's honestly ridiculous."
Topaz: "Gods, it sounds like it. What about Ruby and the others?"
Qrow: "They're doing fine, they're working in conjunction with the ace ops and are coming into their own. I'll be going back later today to keep an eye on them though."
Topaz: "That's probably a good idea. Just make sure you also stay out of trouble."
Qrow: "When do I ever get into trouble."
Topaz: "…"
Ariel: "…"
Neo: "…"
Qrow: "…"
Topaz: "Do you really want me to tell you?"
Qrow: "No, I get it ok, I do a lot of stupid stuff while drunk."
Topaz: "You're always drunk."
Qrow: "Yeah, your point?"
Topaz: *sigh* "Nothing Qrow, let's head back."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer: "There you are Topaz. Thanks for getting him Qrow."
Qrow: "No problem Summer. Alright, I'm off."
Summer: "You're leaving so soon?"
Qrow: "I want to get back to Atlas to keep an eye on the girls. James is being James, more so than usual."
Raven: "My idiot brother finally decides to visit."
Qrow: "Raven? What are you doing here?"
Raven: "Well, I live here now."
Qrow: "Pfffffffft, HAHAHAHA! Oh Raven, I needed that laugh, thank you."
Raven: "What's so funny?"
Qrow: "The thought of you settling down somewhere quiet is a joke in itself."
Topaz: "Uh, Qrow. She's telling you the truth."
Qrow: "Yeah, and I'm sober all the time."
Summer: "Actually Qrow. Raven decided to move here a few weeks ago."
Qrow: "Why would you suddenly decide to settle down? You didn't when you had a kid, what on Remnant could possibly make you change your mind?"
Raven: "Ironically enough, another child."
Qrow: "You got knocked up again?"
Raven: "No you idiot. I adopted a little girl."
Qrow: "You… adopted another kid. Even though you were never around for Yang. Wow. Mother of the year."
Raven: *sigh* "I know I messed up with Yang, and I honestly regret what our relationship is, but I will not do the same for Yue."
Qrow: "Wow Raven, you're just going to do that to Yang?"
Raven: "Look Qrow. Yang and I spoke when she and the others came for a visit, and we talked it out. We are going to try, but it won't be easy."
Qrow: "You know, that's surprisingly mature of you Ray."
Raven: "Say that one more time and I will cut off that thing that hangs between your legs."
Qrow: "Fine, fine. I'm off for Atlas again."
Raven: "Would you mind telling Yang I said hi?"
Qrow: "Whatever, see ya."
Topaz follows Qrow outside the house and waves goodbye to him as he jumps to the air, turning himself into his crow from, and flying off into the distance. After a little while Summer comes outside as well and stands next to Topaz.
Topaz: "So, what did you need me for Summer?"
Summer: "Well… about that."
