" Sure. " Max said.

"Can I ask...how you got your wings?" Kenda asked.

" I was born with them. " Max said and told Kenda about The School and her siblings.

"I thought there was something off about you, no offense. Still...to have to go through all that, how did you and Carly survive?" she asked, now genuinely curious. But if Max didn't want to answer then she wasn't going to pry.

"'We managed. But meeting Alex and the others helped us. Though I still haven't found my siblings yet. " Max said.

"I'm sure you will," she replied, not realizing that Max was taking care of the wound while they were talking.

" All stitched up. Though the bad news is that you'll need to stay here until they need to come out. " Max said.

"I do hope so. " Max said. "Your arm is stitched up, but you'll have to wait till it is healed. " Max said.

"What? No, out of the question," Kenda quickly said. "I'll be a sitting duck here!" she shouted as her anger tapped into her inner energy which summoned her mace as well as charged it with electrical energy.

" We have plenty of people watching out for that jerk. We have Team RWBY here and Bullseye wouldn't get past them. " Max said.

"Team RWBY?" Kenda asked curiously, wondering what Max meant.

Max grinned and explained who they were. " All of us here will make sure you are safe, because that's what we do. "

"...Thanks, I think. Though if you tell anyone I just said that," she said while crossing her arms.

"You know...that pride of yours will be your downfall one day," a feminine voice said from behind them. Before Kenda could do anything, the cat faunus introduced herself to the avian. "Name is Blake, a member of Team RWBY that Max just told you about," she said with a light smirk.

" And I'm Ruby. "She said having followed Blake.

(Have you seen the new World of Remnant Video for volume 3 yet?)

"Ruby, I thought you weren't going to be speeding around indoors," Blake said with a light shake of her head. Sometimes her leader could be such a pain...

( not yet. )

" All I did was slide down the bannister. Won't do it again I promise. " Ruby said.

(kk)

Kendra couldn't help but smirk lightly as she heard the confession. "You know what kid...I think I might be able to like you," she finally said after hearing the banter between Ruby and Blake..

" Really?" Ruby said with a grin. " Would you like to join us all for dinner? We are having meatloaf. "

"Oh god...you're encouraging her," Blake said with a light moan already having an idea of all the craziness that the two would cause.

Kendra was going to refuse dinner, saying that she already had to repay Artunia and Max for helping her and didn't want any more debts added to her name. However, that changed when her stomach rumbled lightly. "I guess dinner wouldn't hurt..." she muttered, though hated the fact of having more debt to her name.

Carly smiled. " I'm glad. " She said.

"You are?" Kendra asked, curious as to why...Carly, if she remembered the name correctly, was glad that she was doing okay now.

" I am Kenda. " Carly said.

"Why?" was all that she asked.

" It shows you are willing to trust. " Carly said.

"No, it just means that I acknowledge the fact that I owe you and the others a debt," Kendra replied as she fell back on her street smarts. "Trust is earned, not given. And I still don't you three yet. Not fully"

" I understand. " Carly said.
