Air Docks -> Dorms -> Infirmary
With the decisions made, Ozpin turned his attention to another student and left the three to talk amongst themselves. Though she had been quiet before, Sand was the first to comment on her joining their team officially. A soft smirk grew on Trad’s face when she remarked about running past them in the forest.
”Can’t say I saw that coming either. Nevertheless, it’s good to have to you on board. Let me be the first to welcome you to team...team…” Trad trailed off as he tried to come up with a name. They weren’t Redingot anymore, and with Robert’s leadership suspended it wasn’t clear whose name would take the front, so they were left with T, G, S, and maybe R in any order.
”Well, I guess the name’s pending. No matter, I’ll show you to the dorms. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to kick back a bit without having to check the walls for creeps every few minutes.” With that Trad signaled for the others to follow him out of the air docks.
Walking the familiar halls of Beacon was an excellent change of scenery. The solid walls, the intact doors, everything was secure and comforting to the hunter who for the last few days had only seen ruin and desolation. He didn’t have long to dwell on it, however, as his thoughts were disrupted by the frantic buzzing of his scroll. Now that they were in cell range all the messages sent to him were just now coming in. There were only a few worth noting, one from the school itself talking about some sort of parents day, and one from his pal Diamond:
From: Bad Habit Partner
Yo. Are you guys back yet? Are you in one piece?
Using the rest of the time walking Trad quickly replied to Diamond while making sure not to run into anyone or anything.
To: Bad Habit Partner
Just got back. Most of us are but, things didn’t go well for us. I’ll tell you more later. How’s everyone on your end?
Just as he hit send they arrived at their destination.
”Well, here we are.” Trad said as he opened the door and held it open for Sand.
”Not sure if it compares to the dorm you had at Atlas but I’m sure you’ll agree it’s better than bedrolls in a ruined fort.”Trad continued the mock tour pointing everything out for the new member,
”Bathroom is over there by mine and Grane’s beds, if you need to study we have a few desks right here by Robert and Delta’s…” Trad stopped mid sentence as he heard what just came out of his mouth.
Up until now, Trad had simply looked upon Delta’s death as a casualty of combat. A loss that while great was all part of the job. But at this moment it finally hit him. The boy was gone. He hadn’t been close, they had only really known each other for a week, but Delta’s family, his friends, they had lost him forever.
”Well, I guess it’s your bed now…” Trad finally forced out after his somber moment of realization. It was then he knew he couldn’t relax without knowing they wouldn’t lose another.
”If you don’t mind, I think I’m going to go check on Robert, see if they know the extent of his injuries.”After dropping his equipment off on his bed Trad hastily left the dorm heading straight to the infirmary.
