[There is so much happening in this one comment alone. The comparison to when Salem turned up raises like every single hackle Qrow has ever had at once, because there's. There's no way she's back, right. It's fine. Probably. Hopefully.
...Needless to say, he's a distracted enough by worst-case-scenarios that he doesn't see that last bit coming before it smacks him over the head. He nearly aspirates the coffee he'd started to drink while thinking, coughing and spluttering for a good twenty or third seconds before he gets himself under control.]
No, no, definitely, nobody is doing that.
[screams. ok, ok, he's cool and fine. there definitely wasn't an extremely awkward divorced au they got thrown into shortly before the end of the dream or following any reveals about teenage puppycrushes or anything!!!]
...Anyway. If he doesn't wanna talk about it, nobody is gonna be able to make him. [He sighs.] Maybe Oscar, I dunno.
[Due to the whole...shared soul situation, and all. Still -- Qrow knows as well as anyone that there's a difference between not keeping secrets and emotional availability, and only one of those is actually feasible to ask for. Even if his relationship with Ozpin is on a much healthier footing now, he knows better than to ask Oz about his feelings in any serious way past teasing.]
...You sure it isn't his blood or something? There was that one month where we all had migraines, maybe it's just making him more, uh.
no subject
