The type of Kindness that was needed far too much and you are not welcomed here!

Exu arrives in Patch in the dark of night and picklocks Tai's home quietly and goes in the first thing she sees is Tai gearing up as the Golden Lion. They silently stare at each other and Tai punches Exu in the face and she takes it.

"..." Exu continues staring at Tai not once looking away even after taking such a strong punch. She goes over to the cabinet and pours herself some Vodka and lifts her mask enough for her to drink and takes big gulps.

"You hurt my daughter badly! She is in the hospital recovering just so you know!" Tai glares at Exusiai and her fingers tremble as they trace around the rim of the drinking glass. Tai sees the tremble and his gaze softens a little.

"Exusiai... Why are you here?" Tai pours himself a cup of Vodka.

"I wanted..." Exu whispers and Tai heard it.

"What is it you wanted?" Tai drinks his Vodka in the awkward silence as Exu stopped talking and can't form any words right now.

"It doesn't matter... I was wrong... I should have been gentler... I found out who my dad is and was in a state of hysteria and harmed your daughter. So the secret's out no need to conceal it. I at least got to see what a home is actually like... Now I can just... Go back to what I'm doing..." Exu gets up and walks toward the front door and intends to leave.

"HEY! Sit down! And... Eat something." Tai is an old-fashioned man and when he sees someone that oozes that much gloom he can't take it and so tries to help by showing something called Human decency. Tai has overflowing kindness it's why Raven and Summer fell for him Raven was too cowardly to stay for reasons she can't control but Summer was there until she wasn't.

Tai makes a wholesome homemade meal that was made with love and Exu who has never known the taste of such food sobs. Tai's homecooked meal had immense kindness in it so much so that it caused Exu to cry and her eyes which were always dull and lifeless now became very bright.

Exu's Mask clattered to the ground "Why didn't anyone try to help me!?" Tai comes over and hugs Exu and says consoling words. Exu always told of her experiences in that hell but they were always told vaguely.

"They cannot hurt you now... You are alright." Tai and Qrow know what she has been through and know she was beaten raped starved all manner of things that belong in horror stories. Exu's traumatized mind simply couldn't handle so much kindness and her emotions were brought to the surface like a great dam burst open.

Exu is just a broken person that needed this type of kindness. Not shallow kindness like Cordeva but true kindness that came from the heart. Cordeva adopted Exu just for her own selfish desires it may have been kind but not this type of kindness.

Exu's vision becomes blurry not from tears but from too much stress and falls into Tai's arms unconscious. Exu doesn't understand why but she felt safe here and in Tai's arms, she felt even safer. somewhere safe was never something that existed in her life and now that she experiences it for the first time she felt warmer instead of colder.

Tai smiles at the sleeping Exu and carries her to the guest bedroom and tucks her in.

'You are safe here Exusiai and always will be. Whenever you need a safe place my door is always open. I hope you one day can be comfortable enough to make this guestroom your own.' Tai decides not to start his Vigilante duties tonight. He was going to find Exu and talk some sense into her but even he would have never predicted that she would just come straight here.

Exu wakes up with a gasp while shivering... She felt that last night was something that was too good to be true and thought it was a cruel dream giving her what she always wanted but was nothing more than an illusion. She sighs in relief when she sees last night wasn't a dream. She gets up and goes to the living room Yang drops her spoon and out comes Ember Celica her weapons.

"HYA" Yang shoots at Exu. Exu displays incredible mastery over her body by doing Acrobatics even the greatest athletes would be jealous of. Exu leads Yang by the nose and Yang continues biting the bait and is like a bull in a glass house destroying everything.

"You are not welcomed here!" Yang yells. Tai arrives just in time to hear this and sees Exusiai's lips tremble lightly. Exu grabs her mask and bursts through the door and runs as fast as she can and was out of sight within mere moments.

"Damn it, Yang!" Tai glares at his daughter but then sighs in defeat.

'I knew it! It's all just a cruel joke! I hate you all! You aren't family!' Exu runs while her tears fall down her face. Exu finds herself in an abandoned warehouse and cries her eyes out.

Qrow arrived in time and Tai explained what happened Qrow rushed after Exu as if his life depended on it. But he lost her and she is nowhere to be found the poor middle-aged drunk falls on all fours and wails in despair.
