Last time

Blake:no. Just...just give me a couple of days, and I'll face her. And whatever she had to say to me.

Now

*True to her word, Blake was walking to see ruby.... Ok she was all but forced, and her friends locked her out of the house until she at least talks to ruby, but still! She was gonna talk to her today. Blake could see the store getting closer and closer, Her palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. She's nervous, but on the surface she looks calm and ready. She shook her head, before she starts singing, and with one big calming breath she walked inside the building*

Moments before

*Just like last time we saw her, we see ruby fixing another weapon, this one was for some sort of raptor, rumored to be the new leader of the white fang. And just like last time she was singing as she worked*

Ruby: Where these bitches at? I'm in the V with the tints Got the FN on my body and the clip on hollow tips
Niggas say they gon' rob me and they still ain't do shit Catch her waitin' in the lobby, and I'ma give her this dick

*The radio turned off, as the jingle of the door was heard. Ruby sniffed the air, and froze. Since she knew that smell. And she knew it well. With a shaky breath, she remembered what her therapist told her*

Ruby"if I keep running, I'll never get better"

Ruby:..... What are you doing here?

Back to Blake's perspective

*Blake heard Ruby's voice in the back of the store, she shouldn't be surprised that with her nose, ruby could smell her. Blake felt like vomiting her mom's spaghetti from last night, but she powered through*

Blake:I....I came to talk, so... please don't kick me out

Ruby:......

*Blake started rubbing her arm, not listening to ruby speak, she heard a sigh at the back, and the sounds of wheels spinning towards her, and there she was. Ruby rose in her wheelchair, looking at Blake with a neutral expression*

Blake:......

Ruby:.......?

*They remained silent, ruby raised her eyebrow waiting, since she knew Blake would start to nervous talk right about....*

Blake:s...so, I uh...I like your wheelchair

*Now, timed it perfectly. Ruby nodded, and wheeled past her, outside the shop, she kept the door opened for Blake*

Ruby:look, if you want to talk, let's go to a cafe or something. I'm hungry, and there's way to many weapons in my shop, that I'm tempted to use on you

Blake:oh, uh yes. Yes. I know a great bakery close by, that also makes sandwiches

*Blake said with a bit of a hopeful look behind her eyes as she walked out of the shop, and ruby hated seeing that look in Blake's eyes. Well that's not completely true, it took a lot for ruby's golden retriever heart to hate something, at most it really annoyed her*

Ruby:....is it the lucky rabbit?

Blake:oh, you go there too? We were so close to meeting so many times.

*Blake said, she whispered the last sentence, but ruby heard it, she decided to just ignore it. Blake was already feeling less nervous, just having a normal conversation, even if both were ignoring the big metaphorical elephant in the street with them.*

Ruby:yeah, aunty winter takes me there any time she visits, I also go there by myself some times, the owner velvet is such a kind person

Blake:yeah, I know. She's actually a friend of mine

*Blake said with a small smile, ruby nodded and closed her shop, making sure it was closed completely she started wheeling herself to the bakery with Blake walking next to her*

Ruby:small world I guess. Let's get going. I'm starving

Blake:oh, uh sure. Let me help you

*she walked from behind her, grabbing the push handles of the wheelchair, and started pushing ruby away from her shop. But ruby didn't look happy, she looked back at Blake with a scowl*

Ruby:do I look like I need any help?

Blake:n..no no of course not, it's just....w..well I just want to help, get us there faster

*Blake said nervously, bless her heart. She was trying her best, but she just didn't know how to act, with a person in a wheelchair. To save them time and since ruby didn't argue, she just let it happen. They remained quiet for a bit till Blake started to nervously talk again*

Blake:so....read any good books recently?

Ruby:a few. You wouldn't like them, they're all fairy tale books, not porn book like that ninja book you read so much

*Ruby said, with a ghost of a smirk, Blake blushed embarrassed and couldn't help but get defensive of her favorite series of all time*

Blake:n..ninjas of love is not a porn book!

Ruby:the latest book got banned from being sold on bookstore

*Ruby said, with the ghost of a smirk becoming so much more noticeable. Blake scoffed crossing her arm. She flinched and stopped doing that, grabbing back Ruby's wheelchair handle, since they were crossing the street, and ruby started wheeling away,  ruby looked back at Blake annoyed*

Blake: s..sorry. a..and anyways! that's not the books fault, that people can't appreciate the nuance of the writting

Ruby:.... Isn't one couple of that book 21 and 15 years old respectively

*Ruby asked, moving the conversation along, from the fact that Blake let go of the wheel chair, while they were in the middle of the street*

Blake:ok yes. But you gotta look at it through context, Mira and lores are in a arranged marriage, by the wishes of there grandmother

Ruby:so not only an age gap, but incest too. Wow I was right before, calling that series filth

*Ruby said with a sigh, shaking her head. The blush on Blake's face was becoming much more noticeable*

Blake:it's a lot more wholesome than people give it credit for!

Ruby:ok, even if it is. Your defending a book about arrange marriage, a minor getting married, and incest. You really want to keep digging that hole?

*Ruby asked, looking back at Blake with a raised eyebrow. Blake coughed a bit, and put on a serious expression, tough the blush on her cheeks wasn't helping her case*

Blake:yes. Because it's so much more than that, it's a story of learning to love, it's a story of appreciating your loved ones, it's a story which makes you think that maybe you don't know your family as well as you should've

*Blake kept on her lectures, and honestly ruby preferred it that way, kept them from addressing the metaphorical elephant walking next to them. And....and a small part of her did miss, hearing Blake speak so passionately about literature*

Scene change

*They made it to the lucky rabbit, and made it inside. Both got a whiffed of the freshly baked goods, that velvet made. Blake looked at ruby*

Blake: I'll order for the both of us, what do you want?

Ruby:the pastrami special with ice tea. And some peanut brittle.

*Ruby said wheeling to her usual table, and waited. Blake walked to the register, where the giant known as Yatsuhashi Daichi, was smiling at her*

Yatsu:hello small cat, I didn't know you were an acquaintance of the small dog

Blake:it's... It's a long story. But what are you doing here? Did Coco bully you into working here again?

*Blake asked with a small smirk. The small bit of sweat coming down his forehead was all the answer she needed*

Yatsu:s...so, what will it be

Blake:oh yatsu.... Well better you than me. Anyways I'll have 2, pastrami specials 1 ice tea, 1 hot tea, 1 peanut brittle, and a fish donut

Yatsu:coming up, you can go to your seat little cat, I'll bring the food to your table

*Yatsu said, Blake nodded and went with ruby, who was on her phone, reading something by the looks of it*

Blake:reading anything interesting?

Ruby:not really, just reading a fanfiction to pass the time. Come on. Sit down, and let's get this over with

*Ruby said, trying her best to act civil, but it was hard. Blake forced a smile and sat down*

Blake:s..so. what uh, what have you been up to, since...the last time we met

Ruby: depends, if you mean when we met a couple of weeks of ago, hiding from you, and going to talk with my therapist.

*Ruby said looking out the window, Blake flinched, and her smile became a lot smaller, she started drumming her fingers on the table, nervously*

Ruby:if you mean after I ran from sienna, Adam, and well you? Can't complaint. Got adopted by ironwood, got an education, and got my own business

Blake:yeah, I've been meaning to ask. How...how did ironwood adopt you?

*Blake asked, trying to keep the conversation light, sadly she choose that wrong subject*

Ruby:you sure you want to know? Since for that story to make sense, you'll need to know what happened to me, after I ran away

Blake:.....yes. it's only fair that I know, what my mistake caused you. Even if I can already see it...

*Blake muttered the last sentence, but again ruby heard it, hell she saw it when Blake glanced down, again the nubs that are what remains of Ruby's legs*

Ruby: fine. So after I ran away.....
