A Very Serious Request
"Holy shit Lena!!" Yang said between laughs after hearing the story, "You just crushed the guy! Was it word for word?" She asked curiously.
In response Lena shrugged, "I missed the part where I called him a Q-Tip." She said getting Yang to burst out laughing again.
Nora put a hand on Lenaa's shoulder, "You need to teach me how you come up with these insults." She requested with a wide smile.
Just as Ren was about to tell herno, the food they ordered arrive, "Here you go." The waitress said, handing the respective dishes, "First time there were so many orders coming from a single table." She commented as Lena payed the bill, prompting her to go back to other tables.
"I have to admit, this stuff looks a lot more appetizing than what you were drinking last time..." Blake commented, remembering the glass she drank.
The rest of Team RWBY shuddered at the memory, making Team JNPR confused, "What did she drink last time?" Jaune asked.
Weiss made a grossed out face thinking about it, "A glass of blood and gore..." She explained making everyone else except Lena grimace in disgust.
"I regret asking..." Jaune commented as he focused on hi plate to try and ignore the disgust he was feeling.
As they ate, Winter entered the building, "It looks different from what I had in mind..." She said and it was heard by the group.
Winter was recognized by Weiss and Lena, "Sister?" Winter said questioningly to make sure it was her.
Hearing that, Winter turned to look at her, "Weiss? What are you doing here?" She asked confused.
"They wanted to show their friends the place." Lena explained for Weiss, "And I'm treating them to lunch." She added for the sake of context.
Looking at the tabe where the food was, Winter nodded in understanding, "I'm here for one of two things: Either managing to get some political connections to the guild or at the very least gathering information from the library." She explained why she was there.
Hearing the 'political connections' part made Lena laugh outloud, "Y-you're serious!?" She managed to say before starting to laugh again.
This outburst made everyone else look at Lena confused, "Why are you laughing?" Blake asked, wondering what the uproar was.
Soon after Lena stopped laughing, although she was still hiccuping out some laughs, "Look, if you want to make a 'deal' with the Mistress, you better be ready for stuff!" She warned before starting to giggle.
"I think this might be the wine." Yang said, looking at the five empty glasses in front of Lena, "Should we bring her back to her home?" She asked.
Not even a moment later, Lena passed out and fell face first on the table, prompting the waitress to look at her, "I heard you talking about bringing her home, if you could please..." She requested with a small bow.
Moving a little to poke Lena, Pyrrha nodded, "It's the least we could do for her paying for our lunch." She rationalized.
"In that case I should probably go talk to this... Mistress." Winter said, "It might take a while for this, but when you brought her, send me your location so I can give you a ride back to Beacon." She told them.
Weiss nodded while Ruby and Yang tried lifting Lena, to not much of an effect, at least until Blake, Nora and Jaune started helping, "We'll be off then! See you later!" Ruby said as they went out of the guild to Lena's locomotive.
Watching them go, Winter went to the reception, "Hello, I would like to have an audience with the... Mistress, Lena called her." She requested unsure.
The Reception Lady nodded, "You can find her office on the upper floor, it's the white door." She directed before going over to a tube, writing a letter and sending it through it.
"She'll be expecting you." The Reception Lady informed making a hand motion, pointing to the stairs.
Since there wasn't any reason to delay, Winter went up the stairs, and saw the white door at the end of the hallway, walking towards it she noticed that the other doors had labels, one said storage and another said kitchen.
Getting to the white door, Winter knocked and was met with a "Come in." Prompting her to do as such and enter the office.
Looking around the room, Winter realized that there was no one in there, "Hello?" She called out trying to see if there really was no one.
"Up here girl." A voice replied from above, causing Winter to look up and see quite an unexpected sight, a woman with giant metal legs coming out of her back (think of the long legs from pikmin) taht keep her anchored to the ceiling.

Akira used her metal legs to get down to the floor, each step making a clicking noise, "You must be one of the otherworlders that reception tld me about..." She said as she got down on the legs of her human portion.
This weird sight made Winter gulp, "Y-Yeah... That would be me..." She confirmed, looking a bit creeped out by the blood stained clothes.
This clerly anxious replye made Akira giggle, "That's the normal response, so why are you here?" She asked, using her metal legs to bring herself closer to Winter's face.
"I came here to make some political connections." Winter explained, trying to keep her composure at her personal space being invaded like this.
Hearing that, Akira took a few steps back towards her desk and thought about it, "Hmm... Guessing you're not the highest authority in your world..." She deduced quickly, "Alright, I'll accept the offer on a single condition." She informed.
Winter was surprised by how easy this seemed to be, "What's the condition?" She asked, wondering how difficult this could possibly become.
"I want you to become my personal assistant." Akira stated firmly catching Winter off guard, "What's in it for you if you accept?" She said predicting one of the possible responses Winter could have given, "Well, for you it's ownership of a house with all expenses paid for by the guild, a pay of 10.000 stallons a week and a 30% discount on any service given by the guild." She explained, waiting for Winter's answer.
This offer seemed a bit too good to be true, "How do I know you mean that?" Winter asked, "If I were to accept, how would I know you would keep your part of the deal?" She continued her question.
In response to this, Akira rolled her eyes ande exited the office, coming back a moment later with the receptionist, "With Adelere here as my witness, I promise I will keep my end of the deal." She stated, with Adelere holding a crystal, which she poked, replaying what was just said, "Okay, you can go back to your duties now." Akira instructed, prompting Adelere to go back to reception.
"I see..." Winter said, thinking on what to do, "If you don't mind I'll have a call with the general to discuss the course of action." Winter informed.
Akira nodded in agreement and watched as Winter made the call, waiting to hear the result.
