["Sometimes bad things just happen." "Never stop moving forward."
Qrow's advice hasn't stopped echoing in her head since Beacon fell, but the nuance of the words keeps changing for her. And she wants to put the past behind her more than anything and just never look back again ever but it's...difficult.
Regardless, Yang nods quietly, a soft smile on her face.]
Yeah...I know.
[And she's going to make sure her sister knows how much she loves her back this time.
Something else Pyrrha said has piqued her curiosity though and she's eager to get off the subject of herself.]
Soooo...what have you been doing here? Do you...fight monsters here?
[Pyrrha probably had interests and hobbies outside of being a Huntress but damned if Yang can recall any of them right now so monster fighting it is.]
[ Yang is clearly pushing for some sort of subject change and Pyrrha is more than happy to oblige, going along with it. At the question, she laughs pleasantly. ]
Oh, we sure do. Jaune, Nora and I have taken on a few mercenary missions since arriving. The Beastmaster Hunting Guild is always looking for capable Huntsmen and Huntresses - [ even here, she still uses those particular terms, ] and they pay pretty well. It helps pay the rent.
[ Even without her gear, it's helped her feel like herself. Later, she'll show Yang her shitty replacement weapon that she bought for, like, 5 sylv. ]
Aaaaand... I've also gotten a part time job at Steambucks.
[Seeing as her skill-set is still very much, "Punch the hell out of stuff"-leaning.
...Although her people skills aren't bad either at least.]
Wait, really, Steambucks?
[It's less the franchise and more that she'd never in a million years have thought Pyrrha would be interested in a run-of-the-mill customer service job? She's honestly surprised.]
[ Her gaze drops somewhat, as if Yang's surprise makes her shy. It certainly is a step down from being a brand ambassador for household cereal. She hasn't forgotten what Weiss said about service jobs either. An honest day's hard work couldn't legitimately be beneath her, could it? ]
Yeah... I thought it was important I contribute to the household rent as quickly as I could.
[Less beneath her and more Yang just always figured jobs like that were, well, dull? It's surprising to her that Pyrrha'd want to work a normal, every-day, non-exciting job instead of something more thrilling but uh...then again maybe it shouldn't be. Yang did kinda spend several months just doing chores around the house or otherwise being a couch potato.
That train of thought and hearing Pyrrha's own reasons has her smiling warmly.]
Makes sense.
I'm gonna go job hunting as soon as I can too.
[The remaining sylvs she got from the Welcome Center got pick-pocketed after all, so she's really gotta find some money and fast.]
