Whilst having a pleasant conversation, in which Neutrino asked most of the questions. He began thinking about the world above and if he should go aboveground for the first time in a millenia.
"...and while facing those 20 beowulf's by myself. I fire behind me with Crescent Rose to gain a burst of speed into a flurry of swipes where I sliced and diced 6 of the grimm on my way through their pack. I'm sure I bisected 2, decapitated 1, and crippled the other 3 by slicing off their arms and legs while firing at another 3 trying to flank me from both sides and behind..."
As Ruby continued on about her grimm slaying adventures Neutrino listened and found it interesting that these creatures had a semblance of intelligence and moved in groups. Although he believes it better to ignore them as from what he gathered they wouldn't be able to keep up with little Ruby and what she calls her 'semblance,' but it seems she likes to challenge herself to increase her experience.
"...then I left the battlefield victorious over the pack of beowulf's, I then celebrated by eating 4 plates of cookies and a glass of milk!"
"It seems your life is full of energy little Ruby, and to be able to battle multiple enemies at once while so young is another achievement in it of itself. As well as a wonderful and creative way of using that scythe of yours, although I believe less fancy moves and you could have finished them quicker without being knocked down all those times."
While talking to Neutrino, Ruby begins getting a little restless about her curfew as she has been outside for a while and her father would start to worry for her safety.
Taking a lull in the conversation to make an escape Ruby said, "Um, Mister Neutrino I do have a curfew set by my father to be home by so I'd like to excuse myself."
Neutrino listens to Ruby explain that she has a time she should be home by. So he tells her it is fine and she should be safe on her way out, "That is fine little Ruby, go on home since worrying your old man wouldn't be so good."
Turning around to leave Ruby pauses before turning around and asking, "Mister Neutrino, um, how do I leave this place? I mean, I know there is a hole to come down but..."
Seeing Ruby fidget about how to exit his little hole in the ground, Neutrino chuckles to himself that he indeed has no entry or exit other than this hole, which she has fallen through.
"Well it's simple little Ruby..."
Seeing her looking at him with seriousness and hope while being cute all at the same time he smiles and explains, "...all you have to do is go up the hole you came down."
Ruby hears Neutrino say she just has to go up that Oum knows how deep hole to get back outside, to go back home. Figuring how long it would take to go up the hole and including the fact that it is extremely dark makes her lose a little bit of glimmer from her eyes.
Seeing Neutrino is amused by her circumstances she is not happy with how easy he is taking her predicament.
"Hmph, alright I'll go up the way I came in..."
Taking this chance to leave she heads for the sloped hole and begins to climb. A gust of wind helps her on her way after she began to climb up.
-------
Neutrino watches as Ruby goes to the world above and sighs in his heart, 'Huu, really how long has it been since I had last talked to another sentient being or seen the surface of this world?'
Taking a moment to recollect himself, Neutrino once again enters a state of meditation to give himself one more try at the vague and mystical fog in the way of his path to godhood.
-------
Whilst going up this hole and accompanied by wind, Ruby wonders about the mysterious man who she found sitting below the surface this far down. Thinking about his identity didn't help her as she knew nothing about Mistral other than they like to wear weird clothing, although not as weird as some Vacuo citizens. Throwing the thought to the back of her mind she sees a light at the end of this literal, tunnel? Well it's more of a hole.
Exiting the hole and landing on the solid forest floor along with the crunch of some dead leaves she gets up and dusts herself off. While taking a look at the sky and noticing the sun had already set and the shattered moon of Remnant was shining in its leftover glory. Ruby began her trek home without using her semblance.
-------
A blonde haired man with a scruffy beard could be seen standing outside the door of a log house; wearing a dark tan shirt with a red collar along a brown vest barely covering his upper chest, along with orange-brown pants rolled up to below the knees, an orange band on his left arm around his bicep, an iron pauldron on his right shoulder, a brace around his right forearm, a glove covering his right hand, and some brown work shoes.
An even scruffier bearded man with black hair stood to the right of the blond; adorned with a red cape, wearing a white and gray vest shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black collar, black cuffs, and black pocket linings, black pants and a pair of black boots with an inch added below the heels balancing a greatsword on his right shoulder, began speaking.
"Well Taiyang seems to me that Ruby might have gotten lost in that forest again."
"Qrow how can you say that? I mean Ruby has gotten lost more than once but this time she is on a path she goes all the time."
"Listen when you are lost on the path of life..."
"Stop that it isn't funny the first time neither is it now."
"Oh c'mon I stumbled in drunk and naked one time without a place to stay and this is how you treat me?"
"You smelled worse than a Vale Industrial District alley, and you began snoring loud enough to wake both Ruby and Yang"
"You exaggerate how loudly I snore."
"Maybe, but you still came in drunk talking about, 'Being lost on the path of life."
"Ugh... anyway looks like Ruby has found her way back, which means I can go raid the fridge for some booze!"
"Don't you dare!"
-------
As Ruby makes her way back in time to see her Uncle Qrow going into the house and her father shouting at him not to drink all of his alcohol, she considers explaining to both of them what she found while exploring the forest but decided it wasn't worth the time and she was tired, maybe tomorrow or after some cookies.
"Dad I'm going to bed, and sorry for coming later than usual you know how the grimm are."
"Huh, oh, well then get inside quick and get a snack before bed I made you a plate of cookies and the milk is already poured. Goodnight my little rose."
Watching her dad make his way inside she gets giddy about eating cookies and zooms past him with her semblance. Getting the cookies and saying hello to her Uncle Qrow as he downs a bottle of Char's Coal and coughing while trying to respond, she giggles and goes up to her room with a plate of cookies and cup of milk in with both hands. Nearing the top of the stairs she hears her father reprimand Uncle Qrow about how he is wasting the alcohol and spilling it on the floor making her giggle more.
Seeing Yang is already out like a light she scarfed down all the cookies gulped the milk and took a shower before getting into her pajama's and landing on her bed, while closing her eyes ready for her weekend off after school tomorrow.
-------
Exiting his fruitful comprehension session, Neutrino begins to stretch for the first time in the last decade. Getting to his feet smoothly and without problems after having sat lotus for the last 10 years. Craning his neck upwards while stretching his hand out infront of him and rocking back and forth from the balls of his feet to his heels, Neutrino looks at the hole which Ruby had enterned and exited his home.
'I guess it's time to go out after all this waiting'
Taking one last look at this 9×9 meter room where the cracks on the walls haven't opened any farther since he dug out this home of his. The white glow pulsating from the cracks in the walls giving him a sense of the times long gone. Reminiscing about his times with his family and wondering how they held after his departure, he decided it was time to resurface.
Using the wind around him to hover over the floor he approached the exit to his home and entry into the world. Taking the scenic route on his way up, which wasn't much with how dark it was. Closing his eyes and sensing himself nearing the surface a few kilometers above him having a few high expectations about the surface world.
TRRRR-!
The walls of the hole he is going up begins to tremble on his way to the surface. Feeling a presence but no soul within them he wonders what he will witness as his first experience upon reaching the surface. Hopefully it'll help him stretch his fingers a little after a millenia of asceticism.
