"I have undercarriage plating!" Halle roared back, and fired a volley of Dust at Suzune. "I have things to conceal, and if anything more since I have to hide structural weaknesses!" She staggered to stand under Suzune's perch. "And you heard my reason, I wanted to see if Nat was lying! There was no deception! But you excluded me anyway!"
When the began to fly her way Suzune quickly recoiled from her perch, and took Mjolnir from its resting place on her back, "How were we suposed to know you were not working with her! Look at it from our point of veiw, your actions were highly suspect!"
The gynoid took a brief second to survey what was happening below, then jumped down the hole in the floor, joining every one else.
Blinking at Selene's comment, James just looked away.
"...y-you heard me m-making that stupid outburst, I-I'm guessing. I mean, i-it makes sense and g-gives you more of a r-reason as to why..." he stopped himself and just looked down. "...s-sorry...I'm r-really sorry..."

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Selene gave James a light punch in the gut. Enough to make an impact, but not enough to actually truly hurt. "That's for being an idiot."
Then she gave him a hug, caring and sisterlike. "And that's for being so kind to my sister."
She broke off and looked him up and down. "She's really nice you know. Caring. Talented in her own way."
Near the MISN Dorm
Yan was already wearing his disguise when he marched up the MISN Dorm and saw Johann there.
"Hey, what are you doing?! Running off ahead of me!" he said. He checked the door. "Shit, it's barricaded already."
Yan ran off to find another way in.
MISN Dorm
Yan sat on the MISN Dorm's window sill. He hopped into the room, making sure to salvage some of the girls' underwear before it was destroyed. Then, he approached one of the holes leading down to the workshop below.
"Halle."
He was wearing his disguise, so unless you were really familiar with his face you probably wouldn't recognize him under the uniform and the black wig unless you already knew what his disguise was.
"I had no idea you felt so strongly about this. Is it fair that I can be gendered as a girl when I'm not even one and you can't when you are one?" he said.

Halle approached Suzune. "You could have trusted me! Why would I work for Nat after pounding her kidneys and challenging her to a duel?! Use that Tandy in your skull you call a brain!" Halle made a swipe for Suzune with her cloaked front legs. "And honestly Yan that's your own business. Unlike you I don't have a sex at all, but unlike Maren I have a gender. And if this was really Boys Vs. Girls I should have been working WITH THE GIRLS!"
Going even redder and trying to smile, James just nodded, wincing slightly from the punch but nodding.
"W-W-Well, it's...w-well...yeah, y-you're right. She's a r-really nice person, b-but she can be really s-scary. I-I mean, you p-probably know about w-what I'm saying, right...?"
He hid the page he'd picked up behind his back.
...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Workshop
Yan dropped down the hole into the workshop below.
"I'm not a girl, but ... I got your back. And hey, thanks for telling them who I am right off the bat and ruining my disguise," he said.
He waved the girls' underwear he had salvaged around, and then stuffed it down his blazer for safe-keeping. He cracked his knuckles.
"Come and get it."
Workshop
"Make me," said Yan.
He just walked, rather scarily, towards Iris, dodging some of the lasers and activating his Semblance full-body to protect himself from the ones that he simply had to tank through. This was damaging his precious female uniform as well as his Aura. When he finally made it in front of Iris, he wound back with a steely fist and aimed to punch Iris in the face.

Smiling a little, the human nodded.
"I-I wasn't r-really saying she's a t-threat. I-I mean, only if I-I seem to...talk to certain p-people, it looks like." He quietly replied, going even redder from the compliment.
"...w-well, um, I-I trust y-you. J-Just...i-it's complicated, o-okay? I don't r-really want to m-make you upset with m-my, um...issues w-with them..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Yan's punch connected, and Iris was slugged in the face, knocking her out of the workshop and onto the floor of the hall outside.
"....o-oww....", she weakly winced.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015"Don't worry about it." She said kindly, waving her hand. "I just want you to know that we nobles are not all bad. Some of us care. Some of us fight for what is right. I may be faunus, from my mother, but my maternal grandparents were human. My grandparents, nobles, adopted two faunus children. And then my mother fell in love with a fellow hunter, from a little academy village in the middle of nowhere."
She paused for a moment.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't know what nobles you had a problem with, but if they're the type to run to their mommies and daddies for personal problems, then they're pathetic, cowardly, and exactly the type I would love to deck in the face."
"I-I know, I-I know, I mean, Si...M-Miss Lena isn't bad...a-and you and Diana are r-really nice people. N-Not mention..." He just blinked at what he was thinking and went an even brighter shade of red, giving a shy smile.
"...w-well, I-I'm actually...w-well, I'm a-a lot more comfortable a-around faunus. ...A-And I guess t-those sort of nobles annoy me t-too, but...they're n-not the ones I have a major issue with..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day."Well... If you ever want to talk about it. Just come to me or Di. We'll always be glad to talk to you about it." Selene said with a smile. Her tail whisked to and fro. "Honestly I'm a bit tired... Rather done with this night. Problem is..." She looked around the dorm.

Giving a nod and smiling, despite blushing a fair bit, James seemed to be in a better mood.
"I-I-I'll keep that in m-mind. I-I mean, w-well, as long as I-I don't bug o-or end up being a-annoying." He paused and tilted his head. "W-W-Well, is it a p-problem I can h-help you w-with? Um, a-after all, y-you did s-sort offer t-to help me, s-so if I can be of s-some help..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Selene gave a long laugh at James's comment. "I was talking about the whole raid thing going on right now, silly. You know my mom and dad actually had their first kiss because of this raid tradition? Granted mom was unconscious at the time. Ooooh man and uncle Seth was about ready to rip papa apart!"
Poor James. Selene doesn't know yet.
...Well, Croire's reaction was an understandable bright red blush and fidgeting.
"...I-I-Is that...so...? I-I guess, um, s-silly...traditions a-and things l-like this bring...people t-together as well a-as them wanting to k-kill each other, huh...?"
...I can't tell her, I-I mean, it was an accident, but if I told her...
She'll hate you. Or support you. I'm sure if she found that note you left lyi-
The human just went even redder and looked to the side.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day."Well, I mean Uncle Seth was trying to kill Papa because hefelt papa had stolen a kiss. Uncle Seth was always a bit protective. Now that I think about it, murderous overprotectiveness seems to be a common trait in my family..." Selene was saying g this all so calmly, though she noticed the way that James blushed, she wasn't entirely sure what it was about.
Pretty damn dense when it comes to stuff like this. You can blame her mother for that.

Blinking and picking up a piece of paper, the boy froze and nervously turned around to face Selene.
"N-N-No, not at a-all, S-Selene. I was b-busy with trying t-to do other things, m-mostly because, w-well, the whole thing s-seems...silly."
Going bright red, he looked to the side, unable to look the cat faunus in the eye.
...W-Why is she talking to me, doesn't she hate me...?
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.
