"Rae, I wasn't saying you were gonna ask for the bottle, I was asking you to get it for me. I'm going to need it. You're more than welcome to have as much as you want though. I meant you don't have to talk about anything you don't want. I just want you here." Summer that still sounded wrong...

"That is not at all what I was about to say, but whatever." The woman got up, walked towards the crate, opening it and already picking up two more bottles. Opening one of them and taking a biiiig swig before she returned to her chair.

Summer immediately took another sip, the bottle getting low, before turning back towards Raven. "Its fine Raven, you don't need to say it, there's another bottle in that crate behind you. A few actually. You're helping protect me by doing this, so thank you. Keeping me safe by alerting me..."

Her next sip was short... Very quick before handing it back. "Summer... I..." No, she was NOT going to say what was on her mind... the bandit just closed her eyes for a moment.

As soon as the bottle of wine was back into her hand, it had hit her lips. Drinking down a long swig of the wine before looking back at the dark haired woman. "There isn't a team STRQ, there hasn't been for a decade, I haven't been a leader for a decade... the world moved on without me." ++

She handed the bottle of wine back when she noticed Summer reaching for the glass. "It's fine, I will do it. But only because I also have my own reasons to want to find dust in Atlas. Also, what happened? Don't like the idea of being the leader of Team STRQ anymore? ++

"Scouting and spying are essentially the same thing and you know it. One is on a person one is on a place. Stop trying to let semantics get in the way. I just need to know if it's crawling with Grimm. Hell according to most reports she's up there anyway so by spying, you'll be scouting."

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · 6h ago

"Scout? First, you ask me to spy, which I only agreed to-" She cut herself short, rubbing her forehead. "Now you me to scout the lands of Atlas for you too? What's next? Will you call me at your house in the middle of the night to take you away and fight Salem on a one-way trip?"

"I figured with beacon falling there should be some abandoned mines around the school and its surrounding city. Atlas is a bit hot right now, especially if we don't... Actively... You could scout it for us... Seeing if the forces are still around Atlas as much as we think..."

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · 9h ago

"Vale, only if you are willing to steal. Just like Mistral, the vast majority of Dust there do have an owner. Atlas should be like this as well, in theory, but no one is insane to fight for it right now." Raven didn't care about cleaning it either, just taking another swig since it was her time.

Summer took a swig from the bottle as well before passing it back towards Raven. Not caring to wipe the opening or anything. "Atlas will be difficult. It's still swarming with Grimm and likely where she is based on our estimates... Vacuo is pretty sparse, maybe something in vale..."

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · 10h ago

She handed the bottle back. "Guess those old dust mines in Vacuo must have been mined dry by the other kingdoms, have you tried looking at Atlas' ruins? Very dangerous place but every time I do an expedition there, I can find a lot of dust."

Summer finished her own glass as she motioned for Raven to pass the bottle towards her. "I'm glad. I'll admit I haven't gotten a chance to relax here either, I needed this today as well. We've been scouting for other dust mines outside your area. Just to be safe"

The woman finished her glass of wine, picked up the bottle, and instead of filling her glass, she just took a big swig out of it. Manners, what are those for? "I guess we are already doing this, but sure... I won't mind. The thoughts of spying Salem again have been putting me on edge lately."

Summer took another sip of her wine. It was a very rich flavor, definitely overboard for the idea of a professional meeting. "It seems so? I'd love to hear more about what you're planning on doing or maybe just... Maybe I want an excuse to talk... And have some very nice food that I took..."

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · 13h ago

"Sure... If this is what you want to say." Raven grabbed the glass of wine and took another sip, she took her time appreciating it's quality and taste... It was very exquisite when compared to the thinks she can usually find in Mistral. "So are we just going to have a meal tonight?"

Summer did admittedly grab what at least looked good. Wanting to make a good impression and that they were in a good enough position to spare these sorts of foods for a one on one meeting, not exactly knowing what they were, just the quality.

"Since I'm here already..." She would lean over to pick up some cheese, tasting it... Was a lot better than what she would have expected from Vacuo... "Did you grab some premium food for this?"

Summer smiled as she showed off what they had. Mostly cured meats, cheeses, fruit, not much of a full dinner but a charcuterie board of sorts with the wine. It was a nice spread all things considered. "Good, let's eat a little, talk shop, let you relax from the pressure, then you can head back"

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · yesterday

Part of her wanted to lie, just to avoid staying for longer, but when she append her mouth... "No, I haven't yet..."

Summer couldn't help herself but to laugh softly, leaning back in the chair as she got more comfortable. "As much as I'd hoped you did, I figured you couldn't get anything yet. This was more making sure you'd actually show up, getting on the right foot, and dinner. Have you eaten yet?"

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · yesterday

She nodded her head, picking up the glass of wine, swirling it around for a bit before taking a very small sip. "Yeah… But about the spying… I'm afraid I don't have anything for this first week. It takes time to build up a network and dig up something."

Summer looked back towards Raven as she was caught out in her extremely poor attempt at some semblance of hospitality. "I... Yeah it's just me. But I figured I try to at least make it look official... Not just us meeting up. As for the set up..." Summer paused and tried to choose her next words...

The Bandit Queen@corvidmaiden.bsky.social · yesterday

The woman looked around for a moment, unsure of what to say… That palace clearly looked made for something more… official than just a clandestine meeting to send information… She then locked on Summer. "We? I only see you here… And what's all this?"

Raven would see the white cloaked woman sitting in front of the table, scroll in hand as she had a half drank glass of wine in front of her. Suddenly putting down the scroll which had some sort of game on it, Summer straightened up and tried to look more official.

which meant that by the time a red portal appeared near Summer, almost 15 minutes had already passed from the time they agreed upon. The bandit stepped out of the portal, mask on, hand on Omen… And looked around. . . . .

Friday night in Vacuo. In what would be a storage room near the perimeter of the city Summer rose began working. Moving crates and weapons racks for basic training weapons out of the way as she set up a small table. If this was a strategy meeting there should be a conference room and table.
