[Listen Qrow is not nearly a prude but this is about Ozpin okay. Why this. Why.]
But ... he's a grown man, and all, is it really our business if he wants to -- y'know. Have fun out there? I mean, they're broken up, right? Not like he's hurting anyone.
[Not that casually banging Vyng before he and Clover were ever officially together didn't cause Problems but looking back, maybe a solution like Oz's would've prevented the whole situation.]
[Look, just be glad you didn't see it first hand, Qrow.]
No, no. I know. He's an adult and everything, and if he wants to, um... you know. Then he's free to... you know.
[Nope. She's not going to say it. She just sighs.]
But come on. He's clearly unhappy. He's acting kind of - well, kind of like he did last year, when Salem turned up.
He's out friend. We should try to help.
[She pauses, and suddenly realizes she maybe needs to clarify.]
Not - not with the, uh... looking for Night Walkers! I mean, he kinda clearly knew what he was looking for there - I mean with the other stuff. The unhappy stuff.
[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.
[Willow had already discounted the idea of Salem actually being back with the lack of Grimm lurking around, and generally not wanting to entertain the possibility. Oz being extra shifty, at least, doesn't seem to apply only to extreme circumstances.
On the upside, dying at Salem's hands means she is blissfully unaware of Qrow's teenage crush.]
Ohh, trust me, I know there's no making Oz talk about things he doesn't want to, but there's still other ways we can try to help. Maybe try to get him back out of his shell a little? I don't know.
[He mentions the blood issues and immediately her mind goes to exactly two other people she knows who are Vilebloods - Tara, and Maul, and the latter takes her to an even more frightening visual place that she does not want to consider.]

No. No, it definitely can't be a blood thing.
