[ That's Qrow's voice. Oh god, is this the talk? He doesn't want to explain things. He hates explaining things. He's not good at it. He just had to deal with Will and Lion. His energy is so severely depleted. He's on his third package of instant ramen. He wants a nap.
He just has to accept whatever fate is throwing his way this time. He does a quick stretch first, trying to physically prepare for whatever mental shit is coming his way. Okay. Let's get this over with. He opens the door. ]
[Lying brat. Qrow rubs the back of his neck. He is not totally sure how to do this.]
I just.... So I said it wouldn't be a big deal, and it turned out I was wrong. That was my bad call. It might be a combat class, but the point is not to actually put you kids in danger.
[Minato is depressed into no affect, but Qrow is, often, an open book. A book opened to sadness on 9 out of 10 pages.]
I talked to Goro, and he won't be pulling anything like that with you again. But I get it if you decide you don't want to come to class tomorrow.
You want Bender's food, or something made by a person?
[The second costs money, but Qrow has more money now. Probably. Either way, he's heading out of the dorms, since whichever Minato picks, the food isn't here.]
[Hm, okay.] Bender it is. [With a shrug, he leads him off! There is walking! Qrow will not start a conversation if Minato won't, at least for now, so making a reasonable assumption, Qrow mostly stays silent, idly watching Minato to gauge his mental state. It is probably very hard.]
[ Minato has difficulty starting conversation on a good day and this has been a fairly bad one. He's had worse in terms of circumstance but it's up there in regards to socializing. He looks tired, which is normal, but his chipper attitude has been worn away by the long day. He feels like he's dragging his body around. ]
[Qrow gives him spaghetti! It's hearty and gives a strength boost. Qrow actually lets him eat in silence, just enjoying the spaghetti himself with some of Bender's magic whiskey.]
[ And eat in silence is what he does! He makes no attempt at conversation. He eats a bit slowly, still expecting a barrage of questions. It feels like he's in trouble with the school, or maybe a foster family that will send him back to the orphanage, even though he knows Qrow is another Reclaimer and his world doesn't exist anymore.
It seems the strength boost has acted like caffeine, giving him just enough energy to not fall asleep face first into the spaghetti. ]
[ This is starting to seem suspicious. Qrow wanted to "talk later" which of course means questions. Maybe it's something more sinister? Like drugging him to lock him away somewhere. Or to let Goro finish the job.
He can't bring himself to care at the moment though. ] Sure.
Literally all this thread will be is Qrow feeding Minato seconds while he plays a phone game on his Scroll (fantasy cell phone from home) and then escorting Minato back to his apartment. That's it. Minato gets quiet. And not murder.]
[ Good thread. Unfortunately there's only so much energy that a bunch of strength +1 spaghetti platters can give an exhausted and depressed teenage boy. About three quarters of the way through the third plate he falls asleep. Thunk! Here's your opportunity to do your worst. ]
[ He wakes up while being carried and notes the unhurried way in which Qrow is walking. Hm. If Qrow was kidnapping him wouldn't it be pertinent to gag him or tie him up or sack him or something? So if he's not being kidnapped and he's not being asked questions then what was the point of this exercise? He figures he should tell Qrow that he's actually awake now though. ]

[Qrow looks him over. Does Minato seem more tired than usual? Qrow can't tell.]
Is this a bad time?

... Will he be there?
no subject
[Willingly or otherwise.]

Okay.

With a sigh, Qrow looks at Minato again, but he really can't get anything off of him. Akechi's right: something is wrong with this kid.]
You hungry?
[When in doubt, try to shove food at a child.]
no subject
Well, Qrow wanted to talk. Might as well get food for it. ]
Sure.
[ He'll follow Qrow wherever, not paying attention to where they go. He's just following the body. ]

Okay then. Qrow will pick him up and carry him back to his dorm, apparently.
Why.]
