In my experience, [he says, with a tone of back in my day, as he pockets the bell to deal with later] it's always more or less the same. Just...different flavors. Like ice cream.
[That made sense, okay. Shhh. He's following behind her at a relaxed clip now, the last of his earlier gloom lifted like the fog.]
Did you have to run from security? That was always the most fun part. ...Heh, there was this one time Raven punched out a mall cop. It was hilarious.

Summer acted like she was all mad later, but I saw her tripping the asshole manager on our way out.
[ qrow, that makes literally no sense, but he is the one funding this expedition. best to let him talk. she rolls her eyes but offers no further commentary on the botched comparison, opting to flip through the options on the nearest rack instead. ]

[ for once, thinking about either of them doesn't trigger an avalanche of grief. ] And yeah, we did have to run from security, thank you very much. The librarians at Beacon might not sound as vicious as mall cops, [ yang shoots him a smirk over her shoulder, ] but they were scarier than a pack of Ursa.
