Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Mistral.)

The airship set down at Haven. Ruby allowed the others inside first. Qrow cast a gaze at his daughter only for her to look at Azul. Ruby sighed and started to walk inside. Qrow sighed and walked inside, he wanted to give Ruby a moment to collect herself.

"Ugh…" Azul muttered out with a groan of pain. Azul blinked as he slowly sat up.

Ruby turned to him while the Faunus blinked and hummed. He titled his head.

Ruby rushed Azul, petals flying from her cloak like a hurricane. Azul wasn't even able to stand up before Ruby tackled the Faunus to the ground. Ruby wrapped her limbs around Azul, raining her fists on her boyfriend's back as tears exploded from her eyes.

"DON'T YOU EVER WORRY ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! EVER!" Ruby bellowed as Azul cringed at her screams.

He noticed the half nightmare enduring, half belated look Ruby gave. Azul blinked once more; he then patted his girlfriend on the head.

"Uh, you mean fighting Tyrian?" Azul asked while he hummed and looked around. Azul tried to get up, Ruby refused to detach herself from the Faunus who rolled his eyes.

"Rubes, your crushing my ribs." Azul said while Ruby only nuzzled her head deeper into her boyfriend's chest.

"You're not going to let me get up, are you?" Azul asked before he sighed and slowly returned the hug.

Azul wasn't mad at Ruby, he loved the girl, and this was clear proof she felt the same. Still? Azul did want to stand up and Ruby was hugging him tighter than a King Taijitsu.

"Ruby, I love you." Azul said before he pushed himself to his feet with his remaining hand. "Ok, screw it, I'll carry you." Azul muttered.

Azul grabbed Ruby's ankles as she clung to his back. Azul rolled his eyes and supported her on his back. He piggyback walked with Ruby inside.

"So, what happened while I was gone?" Azul asked before he opened the door and sighed.

Ruby didn't answer. She didn't want to answer about her battle with the Nuckelavee, Azul would have lost it if he knew about it.

"We got an airship ride to Haven." Ruby stated to Azul who rolled his eyes. He hummed with amusement.

"I can see that, did the ship also fly?" Azul asked with a smirk as Ruby flicked him in the side of the head. "Ow, that really hurt, Rubes," Azul stated sarcastically.

Ruby rolled her eyes, now she knew Azul was back to normal. He had just become more of a smartass then he was back in Vale.

Azul finally felt Ruby climb off his back as they stepped into the foyer. He cracked his neck and felt several of his joints ache.

"Ow, my back is killing me." Azul stated before letting out a yawn. "I'm not becoming an old man, am I?" Azul asked before Qrow rolled his eyes.

"Glad to see your up too, kid." Qrow said while Azul hummed and blinked several times. "You've been out cold for a bit." Qrow stated, Azul hummed and nodded.

"Ok then, I've been in need of a shower." Azul said before he turned and rushed up the stairs.

Qrow looked at the frowning Ruby. She crossed her arms and looked at Qrow as she climbed the stairs.

"You didn't tell him about the fight, did you?" Qrow asked while Ruby sighed and looked to the side.

"I can't tell him, he'd flip." Ruby said while Qrow rolled his eyes with amusement. "I just told him that we flew all the way to Haven." Ruby added into this silent discussion.

Qrow knew Ruby wanted revenge on Cinder for what she did to Vale. Qrow also knew his daughter wasn't going to rest till she got payback on Cinder for this.

But he wasn't stupid, lies didn't make bonds work. They caused doubts in relationships since people questioned each other.

"Ruby. I know your mad at me." Qrow said as he rubbed at his chin. "But you need to tell him. Azul isn't going to trust you if you don't tell him." Qrow stated before moving inside.

He was angry of course, but he dropped his cynicism since that wouldn't help fighting Cinder. He knew what Cinder was, and how dangerous it made her.

Ruby didn't understand and if he wasn't around? She'd be dead within a week. Qrow would be damned if he lost his daughter in this war, he had been helping Ozpin wage.

Ruby said nothing. But it was clear she was a little fazed by the idea of Azul finding out. Ruby didn't regret her battle with the Grimm but she didn't want Azul to find out.

"Just don't tell him, dad." Ruby stated before she left.

Qrow sighed while walking to his room. He was going to have a long
