In Beacon Academy's courtyard at dusk, Weiss and Ruby are running up the main avenue towards the docking bays.
Ruby: Weiss! What is the big deal!? Who is it? Who is she!?
Weiss soon stops and smiles at the sight of someone.
Weiss: Winter.
They see Winter Schnee, who looks like an older version of Weiss and more...top heavy... being escorted by crimson-colored Atlas Soldiers and Atlesian Knight-200's as she exits her airship.
(Author: Pfft, I love the early volumes' transcripts sometimes. XD)
Ruby: Wait... Your sister?
Weiss: Winter!
The two then run up to the elder Schnee as she turns to see them
Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... *Suddenly curtsies* Your presence honors us.
Winter looks around as she approaches them
Winter: Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different.
Ruby: I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder.
Weiss punches Ruby in the shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain before turning back to her sibling.
Weiss: So, what are you doing here?
Winter: Classified.
Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?
Winter: Classified.
Weiss: Of course.
She nods and smiles in understanding while Ruby looks pensively around in the silence
Ruby: Well... this is nice... I think.
Weiss: *excitedly* You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! *discreetly whispers* Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-
Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came.
Weiss: Right! I'm sorry!
Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter.
Weiss: But, we won!
Winter: Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed.
She turns to her security
Winter: Leave us.
The AK-200s obey, walking two steps backwards into formation as she sighs and smiles a little more warmly at Weiss
Winter: How have you been?
Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm-
Winter's hand as she slaps Weiss, leaving a massive bump on her head
Winter: Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?
Weiss: Well, there's Ruby.
Ruby giggles as she pushes the lump back into Weiss' head
Ruby: Heh, boob.
Winter: I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.
Ruby: Uh... Thank you!
