[video]

[There's a girl with real cat ears on this screen. Her black shirt should be enough to give some estimate of her time back home for those, who know her back there and she ... really would just love to flip this video away or at least make it voice instead of a video, but she's also had enough of hiding and she doesn't want to worry any friends from home. Especially not her teammates. ...And she takes a while to say anything, she still has absolutely no idea of what to even say here!]

Blake Belladonna, never been here before myself but Ren filled me in on a lot already, so I guess some of you might know me even though I don't remember anything about this place...

[There. Baby steps to using this device and at least something for people to know, that she's here too.]

[action]

[And if anyone comes looking for her or just happens to be around, Blake is still near the bay and reading all the things that there are for new arrivals. While she seems to be focusing on them 100% as if nothing could take her attention away from whatever she's reading, she's carefully listening to anything happening around her.]

[Okay even with knowing that Weiss and Sun are older here, this monkey sure takes the cake on which one of them is more surprising to see. She could have stayed away back home for much longer and RWBY would grow older in that time without seeing each other at all but considering how much time she has spent with Sun back there recently... ummm... Blake just stares in surprise for a moment.]

...Well I just saw you back in Haven when your tail turned me around but I guess you can see me a lot from now on.

It's been longer for me, but you kind of get used to the timey weirdness here. [People coming from different points in time and all.] So what all have you heard?

Already trying to get used to them. [but that's possibly going to take a while.] I heard Weiss hologram and Ren explained some additional basics like why I don't remember being here before along with listing everyone who is here now ...He didn't tell anything about personal lives or histories.

I see. [Well, he doesn't know how she'll react to the news that he's going to tell her, but he'd rather tell her in person.]

Where are you now? I need to come speak to you in person.

[At least her reaction will be much better for telling her in person than it would be if she heard about it through these...]

Outside of a small cafe near the Bay. [Why explain it when she can show? Blake turns her new device around.] I'm in no rush to go anywhere, so come find me anytime.

[That makes things a whole lot easier! Since he's been here for so long, it will make the place easy to find.]

Alright. I should be there in maybe ten minutes or less.

[Video devices are great for that at, she should keep that in mind for the future too.] No rush, I'll be here.

[Waiting around somewhere, leaning her back on a wall and trying not to think about what he wants to talk about ...because she will never guess that one.]

[He shows up in a little under ten minutes, though she says no rush, he kind of wants to do this before he can convince himself to put it off. He gives her a smile and a wave when he sees her.]

Hey Blake.

[She could misunderstand the rush but it also really looks like he wants her to hear this from him before she can hear this from anyone else and she is really trying to avoid any ideas of her own for why he is doing this... Blake smiles and waves too.]

Hey, Sun. [Who still looks older than she is used to back home and seeing him face to face like this is still different than seeing him on screen.]

You've .... really been here for a long time. [Not that she'd think her friends would lie to her or use some kind of a phone app thing to trick her but sorry, this is still very new and confusing.]

[He knows seeing him in person makes things all the more real. It's easy to say you've been somewhere a long time, but it's easier to see a person yourself and see that there is a difference in age. If he was still back on there world, he'd be a full fledged hunter by now.]

Yeah..the years haven't all been good times either, though the good outweighs the bad. [He's experienced quiet a lot in his time here.] This is the 4th version of you that I am meeting.

I guess I wouldn't expect them to be, even in a place like this. [not that she has any idea how bad this place can be, sometimes, but maybe that's a story for later. Her being the 4th Blake that he sees here seems to surprise her a lot.] ...So I've been arriving and leaving a lot. Maybe I'll stay this time. Is this something about them? [What did she do to you???]

Somewhat, but..not entirely. [He takes a breath before speaking.] Your second time here, we dated.

[He won't go into deep detail about that, though.] And when you left, it really destroyed me. I barely wanted to go out or be around anyone. I was really depressed. And to really get of that I had to let go of my feelings for you. Like, you're still a really important friend to me and I will always have a spot for you in my heart, but to move on and be happy again, I had to let go.

It took a while before I dated anyone else. When you came back a third time, you started dating Yang, which made it even easier to move on. You never spoke to me once while you were here that time, though. [That's partly why he is coming to her and telling her this stuff. He has no idea who she really has feelings for.]

The biggest thing is who I moved on with and that's...Weiss. Who I am now engaged to as well.

Somewhat is still worse than not at all... [Blake looks worried but she wouldn't even try to stop him from explaining it all in one go.

And she goes right back to eyes going as wide as they can from surprise to hear, that she's been dating Sun here before. Wow, that's -- far in the past is how he makes it sound and she's still blushing but Blake doesn't ask about any details of it. Especially not after she hears what that Blake back then suddenly leaving did to Sun, that part's making Blake look sad and worried about him even now when it's probably been years from that for him. She's honestly glad that he seems to be doing a lot better than he had been back then and also for being so far in timelines from home herself, this whole thing could possibly go badly with some earlier point maybe... Maybe she has somewhat matured there recently. And being a friend with a special place in his heart to Sun makes her smile, that's at least good to hear and she should say the same to him.

She looks surprised and she's blushing again when Sun says that the next her dated Yang. Like okay pastselves, at least their dating options make perfect sense to this kitten too and she's glad it made it easier for Sun to move on after all of that. .... But why the hell wouldn't she talk to Sun at all while they're both here? That part doesn't make any sense to her, she feels like punching herself for that or maybe she'll let someone else punch her as if that's going to make her feel like she hit her past experience here for that.

So this all actually makes sense to her with an explanation like that, she would have moved on too if she had been him through all of that. It's --- an emotional rollercoaster somewhere behind her calm looks for sure, but nothing she can't handle even after possibly thinking that she had things figured out back home. Does she really have her feelings there figured out even after all this time?? All that time with Sun, now suddenly returning to her team so she'll see Yang again and then what Ilia told them about her feelings for Blake back home kind of sound like she may have a lot of feelings stuff to figure out there too.

Aaaaaaaand then Sun gets to the part about his new relationship in this place, that confuses Blake all over again before she really has any time to think about it.]

You and Weiss, what?!

[Sorry, she's ... this is a lot to take in and think about when surprises just keep coming. She'll get back to how she actually understands and feels about him moving on from her soon.]

[Sun knows it is a lot to absorb. There are memories that she couldn't possibly have, things that she'd done or said that she wouldn't remember doing. He hadn't ever experienced it himself, but he's seen enough people go through it to have a pretty good understand of the confusion that must has swirled up in her.

The most promising part of this all is that she doesn't seem to be angry or hurt at all by everything he said. Her reaction to what he'd just said about him and Weiss is..pretty much what he expected it would be. He really needs to just talk to Weiss about making some sort of info packet that they could just give to anyone from their world when they showed up here.]

Yeah. Me and her are engaged. I asked her and she said yes after she thought about it. We aren't rushing a date or anything, but we both know that getting married is something we want to do.

[It's so much to take in all at once and still she is glad that she hears about it so soon and like this instead of anything else. She is hurt, but that's just one of the huge amount of feelings that she's going through right now. Maybe it will get worse once this all really hits in and she'll really realize all of this once she has had time to think about everything. It's like her heart is breaking into pieces... but then it feels like nothing, that Sun has had to go through because of her here before. This is new; she has no idea how to handle so many negative emotions but still being happy for her friends at the same time??? Because she is and she is glad that everything they've had to go through here hasn't destroyed them...

They are going to get married??? Blake bites her lip like okay that's great for them and she should congratulate but she just got here and this is all overwhelming and that could have been her with him. But not here. Who knows how things will go back home but it won't matter here at all. She's really not as okay as her calm outside seems to be but would anyone even expect her to be??

Right, words. She should try those again. Deep breath before she begins, surprised even herself with how well-ish she is taking this at the moment.]

Look... I get it. I-- would have done the same with letting my feelings go if I had been in your situation back then.

And I'm not going to try anything or be a problem to your new relationship in any way, you don't need to worry about that or me despite everything back home recently. ...I'm not sure if my feelings are really clear even back there or how things will go there from now on but that's... there then.

I kind of want to punch past me here for never talking to you because why the hell would she do that? I'm still going to talk to you, this won't mean that I don't still want to be friends because you're also a really important friend to me and you have a special place in my heart too.

[As for him and Weiss... Well, both of them are people whom Blake considers as some of her best friends, she doesn't want this to be weird between any of them. At least some things are clear to her even when she knows she'll possibly be an emotional mess for a while before this stops being a lot of new things to get used to. She'll cry, she'll possibly scream (into pillows??) and it's really going to be like a rollercoaster to go through everything ever but she'll be fine!]

I'm ..... glad you were able to move on, I mean it sounds weird to say but it's also a relief compared to how you said you were before that happened.

[She smiles a little.] Weiss makes sense, when you've both been here for so long and gone through a lot together. [and they are both amazing people and it's not hard to imagine them together.] Congrats for the engagement, Sun, I guess I should say you better take great care of her but I know you will. [Which makes that smile turn into a smirk.]

[Sun has no doubt that things will play out different back home. Like, there is no way that him and Weiss will have a chance to get as closer as they are here back there. The two of them have endured a lot of rough times together from the loss of people they love to being injured to the various crisis. They’ve always had each other through it and their bond has just kept growing stronger and stronger. Sun knows he loves Weiss and that Weiss is the only woman he wants to be with. But if you take this place out of the equation, he knows its Blake that will be the one to receive his feelings.

He is happy that she won’t let this make things weird between all of them. She is Weiss’ teammate and she is also his friend. He knows the last thing that he or Weiss wants to happen with this situation is to alienate Blake or make her feel like they don’t want her around. Sun knows Weiss is going to be happy to have her whole team back together for the first time in a long time.]

I really don’t know why your past self was like that. I don’t think I ever pissed her off or said anything about her. She talked to Weiss and everyone else from what I could tell. [If he hadn’t been trying to let go of his feelings for Blake, he might have been seriously hurt by being ignored by her. It still did kind of hurt, because its like being ignored by a friend so suddenly and have no idea of what you’d done to deserve it. He never got the chance to interact with her, so he can’t imagine what he ever did.]

But thank you, I mean that. I know this all is going to take a lot of getting used to, but I’m here to help you if you ever need it. Weiss is too. We’ve been here for so long, I know we both know a lot of things that others might not. So don’t be afraid to lean on us.

I -- Sorry for her. [That past self, yeah she's apologizing for her and stupidly feels like repeating it because that makes no sense to Blake either. Well, as long as they both know that she's not going to do that not talking with him thing too.]

[There's a smile when he says thank you, tiny smile as it may be but it's there.] Honestly with how long you two have been here with the rest of us apparently coming and going and not staying around, I'd be surprised or even worried if there wasn't a lot to get used to. [Even though she wasn't expecting this but hey, it could be a lot worse. This won't even be bad after a while.] I won't hesitate to do that, surely you two know a lot that even books won't tell me. Also I really don't want to be like that past me was to you, so don't be afraid of this going back to that... [Meaning this is definitely not the last time when she wants to see / talk while they're both here, friend.] And thank you, seriously I mean it too because I'm sure my reaction would have been completely different if I had heard about all of this in any other way.
