[It actually takes a minute for his brain to click from "things like what" to "who Ruby was dating", and even longer to parse why that might be a problem. At first he actually thinks maybe it's because Ruby's not a rich girl like Ange, he remembers Break saying something about how that was why he couldn't be with Shelly openly, but then -- it strikes him that they're all living in this huge house and maybe Sayo doesn't even realize that back home their house was a cute little log-cabin in the boonies with raccoons in the attic. So, that just leaves...]
Huh.
[He doesn't spend much longer reflecting on that. Even though that sort of thing being an issue doesn't make a lot of sense to him personally (he grew up around bandits, after all; who someone fucked was the least of their concerns), he's already getting the absolutely most rancid vibes about where she's from, so it seems best not to risk picking at any further scabs right at the moment. He shrugs.]
I'm not worried. Those two've been through a lot together, they'll be fine.
[Sorry for accelerating ur bi crisis here tho, Sayo. It's only going to get worse when she finds out about all the other gay couples in this house o o p s.]
[Let's hope that accelerationism makes this bisexual crisis less devastating. Her last one had a bodycount.]
I'm... I'm sure they will. Ruby-san seems to, um, care for Ange a lot, based on what she told me...
[And if Ruby breathes a word about Sayo's crush on "Milady" to ANYONE in this household but especially Ange, Sayo will visit a reckoning upon her unlike anything this city has ever witnessed.]
[Please don't blow up the whole mansion for your crush this time, Sayo. Think about all the ink you'll need to clean up when everyone turns into squids again. Not to mention the whole existential crisis round two electric boogaloo.]
You've already met Ruby, huh? [He grins, a little conspiratorially.] Well then, you're definitely a friend of the family.
[Ange may be a more reserved personality, but Ruby? There is nobody not qualified to be friends with Ruby. Except Salem. And probably Cinder, at this point. But you never know.]
[Ozpin should count himself lucky that Sayo's trigger finger is slightly less itchy in a few days, really.]
I...
[She sighs. Sayo can't really argue with that, after what few interactions she's had with what amounts to a human version of Clifford the Big Red Dog.]
I'm pretty sure as long as nobody immediately tries to murder her, Ruby would make friends with them. And maybe not even then. So I don't think that's a particularly impressive achievement on my part, haha.
Oh, I can tell you from experience, "not even then" is accurate.
[There is a reason Qrow maintains roughly civil interactions with Neopolitan, and 100% of the reason for that is that is Ruby Rose and her saint-like capacity for forgiveness.]
But it's not supposed to be an achievement, anyway. It's just how it is.
[Perhaps it might be difficult to believe, given her experiences with men in life, but Sayo will come to find that Qrow values family over and above everything else.]

You, uh, doing okay over there?
no subject
I'll- I'll get over it soon, don't worry!
[oh god ruby is into girls too that means sayo is in a much worse predicament than she thought]
