[When she first arrived she might not have been able to do something like this. But her time in Deerington had helped her open up about the things that distressed her, knowing Oz's connection with her family line had helped too. She was... more comfortable talking with him about things like this.]
If you could that would be great. He might be more comfortable talking with you too. After all of this.
...I want to build him a new leg when he's ready. or do what I can. I know you've got some skill when it comes to building weapons, and I've got Ironwood's information on prosthetics.
[ Build him a leg. Yes, that is only logical, for all that it is still an uncomfortable pang to know that it will be needed. They are not all like James; the recovery will be slow and painful. Oz can help just as he could guide Ruby through bowling, in a sense, but...
It will not be easy.
As for the project itself, there may be more qualified individuals within Deerington. But it is not, ultimately, a bad idea. He has not been an engineer for lifetimes, but he was at one point an engineer, and he owes something to the both of them. He would like to make good on that. ]
Yes, Ruby, if you would like my help in engineering something, I would be glad to help. We can at least review the information that General Ironwood provided.
I'd like that. A whole lot actually. I think Oscar would appreciate it too, if we worked on something like that together. He's kind of taken to your aesthetic a little lately. Or at least he's less defensive about it. We could try and work that in a little? Make it a kind of uh... family project?
For a moment, Ozpin is rendered speechless. He cannot remember a time he was open about the origin of silver eyes. Most like her never learn of their true connection, and no one— much less a young Huntress who has been put through so much on his behalf, survived so many of his worst mistakes— has ever learned the full truth and been glad.
He cannot fathom why she would want to claim him as family, after all that he has done. And yet here she is offering an entirely undeserved olive branch.
He will take it. ]
I would be honored.
Yes, let's.
I would be glad to meet you in your workshop whenever seems best, Ruby.
