"I suppose I should be glad that the others can enjoy themselves, even if it's from the stands." Letting out a short sigh, he winced in pain from the sudden movement of his chest. Sapphire seemed to have a calming presence, Oswald noticed. It might have just been the fact that she happened to be the one to show up both times he was wallowing in self-loathing after his missions, but few others had ever had an effect on him before. He briefly wondered exactly why that was before mentally shrugging. "I doubt my parents will end up coming, if they somehow get the message to my village anyway. The only time people really leave are with trade caravans every season, and for them it's about a two week journey. Unless Ozpin spares a Bullhead to bring two people, I'll just have to wait for another opportunity to see them. Considering my condition....that might be for the better. I'd hate to make them worry about me when there are much more pressing matters at hand." [i]Like that kid from a few days ago, for one...[/i] "Hey, Sapphire, remember that kid who showed up, covered in scars and shit? What do you think happened to him after he disappeared? What do you think is going on? There's no way everything that's been happening lately is a coincidence. A trap by rampaging Huntresses, some kid with weird torture scars shows up out of nowhere, then vanishes just as suddenly?" It all smelled of something darker. What exactly that was, however, Oswald couldn't be sure. Not yet.
