Gifts & Parents

Logan sighed as he opened the front door to his dorm on Beacon's campus as he had just got back from Vacuo. He was mentally tired from dealing with the Stonemason's complaints about moving their village to Shade. Logan was glad that at least Lapis could handle most of it, but he still had to help with guarding them as they traveled to Shade. To him, they had more than enough manpower to make the trip. But since Logan is the only Huntsman that is endorsed by all four kingdoms, his presence during the journey made them all feel safer.

.

But, now that was all behind him. Logan now had the chance to meet his wife and child once again after so long away. The dolls and more appropriate gifts were in a bag on his arm while the more, indecent, ones were in his [Inventory] for later as he had an idea of what Glynda may have planned.

.

As he opened the door and entered inside, Logan was surprised to find Salem there with Dorothy in her arms while on her way out.

.

Salem: "Logan, good to see you've returned." Salem greeted as she shifted a sleeping Dorothy in her arms. "Glynda just left for a staff meeting about next semester almost an hour ago."

Logan: "No problem," Logan spoke after setting the bag down. "She might have a few things planned, so you and Oz may have to watch Dorothy for the night. I would entrust her to RWBY, but I doubt they would know what she would need at times."

Salem: "That's why I'm here." Salem giggled. "She felt how close you were through your connection and asked me to watch her for the night."

Logan: "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Logan asked with a wry smile.

Salem: "I recommend buying some energy drinks or making some of your coffee." Salem said as she walked out the door. "You're gonna need the extra boost. Have fun!"

.

As Salem left, her giggle sounded like the personification of evil to Logan. Logan went to his [System: Store] with a gulp and bought the strongest energy drinks he could find. The cans said they could guarantee a full three days' worth of energy from one can which Logan doubted but could do nothing about since he could feel Glynda on her way back to the dorm. With a sigh, Logan quickly got to work so that he could surprise Glynda when she got back.

{With Glynda Goodwitch nee Scarlett}

.

Glynda sighed as she made her way out of the meeting room. The next semester was already planned for ahead of time by them but the point of the meeting was to go over the finer details of it and make any small but much-needed changes. Only Port had needed this since he always just told stories for his classes, much to the vexation of everyone else.

.

Glynda: 'It's a miracle that he's lasted this long as a Professor.' Glynda thought as she walked. 'I guarantee that it's only due to tenure that he's still here.' She huffed, scaring a few freshmen students nearby, 'Just one more year girl, one more year. Then I can slack off a bit.' Glynda thought as she rounded a corner. 'Wait, I forgot that Logan takes half of the workload when he's here. Next time he's going somewhere, I'm going with him. I need a break from Port or I'm gonna strangle him.'

.

Glynda's thoughts were sporadic as she made her way back to her shared dorm. Not noticing that Logan was already here and inside their dorm planning a surprise for her. As Glynda entered inside, she found a present waiting for her on an ash pedestal. Inside was what only could be described as a bikini that barely covered her private parts in her size and a note.

.

Glynda: " 'I'm waiting in the bedroom~' " Glynda muttered as she read the note. "Oh, Logan~ You naughty, naughty boy~

.

They ended up getting a noise complaint...

Logan: "Here you go, honey." Logan spoke after waiting for her PT conference to end. "Dark-roast coffee, just the way you like it." He said as he handed out a thermos.

Glynda: "Thank you, I needed it." Glynda sighed as she took the thermos filled with coffee from Logan. "That Parent was extremely worrisome about their child."

Logan: "She had red hair right?" Logan asked as he remembered seeing someone that looked like Pyrrha.

Glynda: "Yea, Athena Nikos, Pyrrha's mother." Glynda sighed. "She asked for a PT since she was worried about her adjusting. With the busy schedule of the Second years' and add-on to the fact that they are all adults, she was worried that Pyrrha wasn't able to balance her school work, personal training, team training, and her social life all at once."

Logan: "Well, you have to understand. After her father passed away, Athena only had Pyrrha and vice versa." Logan pointed out. "It's normal for them to care for each other so much. They're all they have for the family with Athena being an orphan and Pyrrha's father being an only child. Her grandparents already passed long before she had a chance to meet them too."

Glynda: "I know, but the amount of worry she held was astronomical." Glynda told him.

Logan: "Just be happy that you haven't met Jaune's sisters." Logan shuttered. "There are a few I rather not deal with."

Glynda: "Coming from you, that's saying something." Glynda was shocked to hear that from Logan

Logan: "Trust me, be glad you haven't met them yet." Logan shuttered again.

.

As they were talking, Salem walked in with Dorothy awake in her hands. Upon seeing them, Dorothy cooed and waved her short, stubby arms at them. Logan and Glynda chuckled when they saw that and Logan took Dorothy from Salem.

.

Logan: "Salem, I was just about to come to see you." Logan spoke as he played with Dorothy. "How was she? Did she give you any problems?" He asked as he scratched Dorothy's chin lightly.

Salem: "She was fine, Logan. Dorothy slept most of the time and had very few 'accidents' while Ozpin and I watched her." Salem explained to them. "Though this morning she did want one of you."

Glynda: "Sorry about that and thank you for watching her." Glynda responded to Salem while Logan was preoccupied.

Salem: "Oh, she was fine." Salem dismissed the thanks. "She was an angel the entire time she was awake. I'll gladly watch her again when the two of you want some alone time~"

.

Glynda and Logan blushed when they heard Salem's comment about their nightly activities. Dorothy, having no idea of what was being said, just giggled and cooed while grabbing at Logan's hair that was dangling in front of her. The two broke out of their embarrassment when Dorothy got a hold of Logan's hair and yanked causing Logan to shout in surprise and her to giggle at his reaction which meant more yanking.

.

After Logan managed to distract Dorothy with a bit of his ash, she let go of his hair and started going for the ash floating in front of her. Salem and Glynda had a good laugh at Logan's misery as they watch what happened. Logan sighed in content after getting Dorothy to let go of his hair as he looked back at the two women.

.

They chatted for a bit longer as Logan rocked Dorothy to sleep since she was getting tired. Salem left not long after and Logan sat with Glynda while helping with any paperwork she had; Dorothy was given an ash cradle to hold her while Logan worked.

.

Logan pushed aside Jaune's sword strike with his own sword as the two dueled with just their swords. The two went back and forth as they both struck at each other and deflected or parried the attack aimed at their person. A strike parried and a slash given back only to be blocked or deflected skillfully as the two went at it. Uncaring of anything else at the moment.

.

Soon, Jaune feinted a thrust at Logan's chest which he fell for, and caught the bottom of Logan's sword's crossguard, sending his sword flying out of his hand. Logan retaliated by grabbing Jaune's outstretched arm and threw him over his shoulder while disarming him. Jaune rolled away and over to Logan's sword and grabbed it as Logan grabbed Jaune's. The two then clashed with Logan slightly overpowering Jaune.

.

Suddenly, Jaune let his knees buckle and rolled onto his back while sticking his foot into Logan's chest. Logan followed through with what Jaune was doing and threw himself with the roll. Rolling himself and coming up onto a knee, Logan hastily blocked Jaune's jumping, overhead strike. Jaune then let off and backed up from Logan with a smirk dancing on his lips.

.

Jaune: "Looks like I won." Jaune said with a shit-eating grin on his face.

Logan: "Jaune, I'm proud to say you did." Logan scoffed as he rolled his left shoulder where Jaune's strike landed, a smile adorning his face. "You also managed to disarm me as well, something I didn't expect. You've grown a lot."

Jaune: "I had a good teacher." Jaune simply said as the two exchanged their sword, giving the swords back to their respective owners.

Logan: "Just don't get cocky, you've still got a long way to go." Logan told him as the two headed for the showers.

Jaune: "What now? Are you gonna teach me how to shoot?" Jaune asked, having gotten lessons from Logan for so long, he was curious as to what was next.

Logan: "Ask Ruby or your girlfriend for those. Ruby had better overall accuracy than me and Pyrrha has better snap-shot skills." Logan informed him. "I'm good, but I'm not the best. There are other things that people can do better than me."

Jaune: "Please, I've seen you outshoot Ruby and Pyrrha on numerous occasions." Jaune scoffed.

Logan: "Yes, you've seen me beat them a few times." Logan spoke. "But, more often than not they beat me handily in those respective areas."

Jaune: "Logan, you are THE best Hunter." Jaune nearly shouted at him. "There is no one better than you. The fact I just won in our spar is crazy enough. Why do you always put yourself down?"

Logan: "Because I'm not perfect." Logan said simply as they entered the showers. "I have my faults, problems, issues, and things that make me far from perfect. That's why."

.

Jaune just sighed at Logan's answer as the two stripped down and entered the stalls. Logan kept quiet and washed the sweat from his body as did Jaune. Jaune's mind raced to figure out why Logan was like that but soon just choked it up to Logan being Logan. Logan finished first and left soon after, knowing that Dorothy will wake soon.

.

Logan sighed as he walked back to his dorm after the shower, always having kept a set or two of clean clothes in his [Inventory]. As he walked, Logan noticed that Jaune's parents were just arriving and heading off toward the Professor's offices. Sighing, Logan sped up and got to his dorm and grabbed a still sleeping Dorothy before heading towards his and Glynda's office. Knowing that they would most likely want to talk about Jaun's performance lately.

.

Once Logan got to his office, Logan found Jaune's parents and Jaune there waiting for him. Keeping from sighing, Logan apologized for the wait and let them into the office while Jaune's mother cooed over Dorothy. Jaune's father, on the other hand, wanted Jaune to stop trying to be a Hunter and come back home. Jaune was adimently against going back since it would mean going back to the farm he grew up on. Logan was on Jaune's side since he came far from when he had first started but Jaune's father was determined to have him return.

.

Logan sighed and replayed the spar he and Jaune had done an hour before they got there. Logan explained while they watched that Jaune was talented with a sword and he had personally polished that talent to the best of his abilities. From Longsword, short blades, daggers, claymores, and more; Logan laid it all out with what he did to train Jaune on top of teaching him leadership skills. Pointing out that Jaune was far from what he once was and is still growing both as a person and as a Hunter.

.

Jaune's father wasn't having any of it and still demanded for him to come home as Jaune was the only male heir in their family. Logan sighed as he pulled out the final card he had up his sleeve. Logan pointed out that it was up to Jaune and Jaune alone since Jaune was a legal adult. Nothing Jaune's father could do would be able to make Jaune buckle do to that very fact.

.

After a lot of arguing between Jaune and his father, Jaune's father angerly stomped out. Jaune's mother, however, told him to follow his dreams before leaving out after her husband. Logan and Jaune sighed as they watched them go. Jaune thanked Logan before heading off to blow some steam off.

.

Logan just shook his head and picked Dorothy back up, who slept through it all, and left. Heading off to find and spend time with Glynda. Not caring about Jaune's plight since it wasn't his problem.
