[Ruby knew it was more complicated then that. She could tell that Fern seemed to know words to use to try and cut at Varian. She knew from the way he smiled even when there was something eating away at him that he wasn't telling her something. She didn't expect to know everything yet. He certainly didn't know everything about her yet either.
It was not the first time she had experienced people hiding the truth from her. Her Uncle following her Mistral without telling her, knowing full well that she had a target on her back. Professor Ozpin and well... just about everything with that bag of worms. She didn't think Varian was doing this to hurt her or anyone here. From what Varian had told her about himself it seemed like he was trying to do what was right thing back home.
Her eyes glanced down to the lamp that hung from her side. Her own words echoed in the back of her mind. "What is Ozpin hiding from us?"
She didn't for an instant believe that something like that would be necessary here. Varian was already being more honest with her then Ozpin had been.]
Yeah. I had a feeling that might be the case.
I could say the same thing too.
You don't have to share with me if you don't want to. I'm not going to force you to say anything. I've seen how you act and I think your heart is in the right place.
How about I tell you some things about me? And you can jump in if you feel like it.
Or you can just ask me whatever you want. I'm game.
[Maybe if she gave a little. It might make him feel better about it.]
