anyway how the hell did you wind up getting involved in them kissing??? i mean if there's ever a reason to shove yourself in a brain closet .....
[Ruby is asking him for advice on how to deal with this and he has no advice, only question marks and internal screaming. It did not help that this was the first he ever heard of this.]
oz no offense but lets never talk about your "experience" with this again
[he was gonna call oz out on not answering the question but now he just kinda lowkey wants 2 crawl into the floor and die?????? god. he has more regrets now than when he started this conversation.]
didn't we talk about not making other people's decisions for them anymore? even if she never wants to talk to you again afterward that's the least you owe her

There is a long delay while Ozpin is in utter despair. ]
2/2
I had absolutely no desire to be "involved".
Ruby made my presence known, at which point the situation became, as one might expect, something of a mess.
[ Yes, he intended to be a secret third party the entire time. Obviously. ]
no subject
cause she made it sound like you were talking to her the whole time
[which, again. why not brain closet? ??? ?????]
she's asking advice and this is SO far out of my league oz

general cw on this thread for uncomfortable proximity of old man to teen romance
I do have a concept of respecting privacy, difficult though such a thing is to maintain under those circumstances.
Perhaps I'll speak with Ruby. These situations are unfortunate and often unavoidable, but I do have a great deal of experience in this area.
[ normal statements that aren't uncomfortable at all ]

Hm.
Damn it. ]
I take your point.
You can tell Ruby I intend to speak with her about it.
And, yes, with Ange.
no subject
i think they'll both appreciate it
[Qrow certainly does. It's always nice, seeing him making an effort. Oz may not be the man he'd all but hero-worshipped as a child, but he is trying.]
