As professor Ozpin gave the prospective students their briefing on the Initiation Aeden Vesting just stood there on his designated platform wondering if he could ever get this stupid grin of his face. He had spent all summer looking forward to this but now that the day had finally arrived he did feel that feeling of nervousness growing with every second they were standing on the edge of the cliff. The night before he and his friends from Flare had discussed how to get assigned to the same team but Ozpin's brief had all but shattered that idea. Aeden spared a look to his right towards the headmaster at the end of the line of students, seeing a variety of students all at various stages of readiness, and one clearly listening to music.

As the brief concluded most students shifted on their platform and readied themselves for the jump. Aeden took his Skybreak out, blades folding out of the bipod and the stock extending to the full length of the battleaxe. for a moment the fear of his equipment being too heavy for a good launch crossed his mind, but by that moment the platform next to him launched his neighbour and he realized he just didn;t have time to worry. when the platform under his own feet sprang to life all the pent up tension in his chest released in a long wordless howl trailing into exhillerated laughter. All worries were gone, all plans thrown out of the window and all he could think of in this moment was the phrase "Sink or swim" and how terribly inappropriate it sounded for the moment.
