At the sight of Sapphire formally bowing to her, Sangue promptly bowed yet again. Although Sapphire seemed to be a serious person, if she didn't have a heart, she wouldn't have spoken to someone as unimpressively outdated as Sangue.

[color=f7976a]"Thank you,"[/color] Sangue responded quietly as the blue-haired huntress departed.

And with that, she was left alone with Shiro. She felt it; the unfamiliar, yet familiar feeling of contempt behind the Faunus' words when he spoke with Sapphire. Something was sour in the tone Shiro had when he spoke with Sapphire...

Yet, all Sangue could hope for was the white-haired boy and the blue-haired girl to get along sometime. Nothing further than that- for anything further would simply be Sangue trying to butt into other people's relationships.

When Shiro returned to his cheerful demeanor and waved her goodbye, however, Sangue blinked.

Unlike the absolutely armed-and-ready Sapphire, Shiro looked like he was just going out on a walk. Why was that the case...? The red snake watched Shiro leave as she wondered what felt off about the student.

It wasn't like he didn't pack up his gear, right?

Putting down her blade with its sheath attached on top of a crate, the long-haired woman observed the weapon as she put her Claw next to it. She tried to think up of more ways to make her incoming upgrade better, but truthfully, Gren and Shiro probably knew more on what makes technologically advanced weapons actually effective. As these thoughts flowed down her mind, her stomach rumbled.

...

Looking around the armory for a bit, Sangue crept out of it...

...before heading to the cafeteria.

Much to her horror, a certain realization dawned upon her as soon as she arrived at the very entrance of the cafeteria.

If she went to pick up her sword, then she would have to sacrifice the food she wanted to eat earlier. On the other hand, if she ate the food, there was the chance of someone unknowingly taking her most important weapon.

And she wasn't going to be throwing food at Grimm and the like in potential upcoming missions, so the decision she had to make was obvious.

[color=f7976a][i]I'll... have food for a later time,[/i][/color] she noted solemnly as she turned back.

Instead of eating, she decided to retrieve her weapon and head immediately to the docks. She was not good with directions anyway, so going earlier than she originally planned would be a good idea for someone like her.
