(Interesting ~)

Platinum broke off from the crew to go off to be by herself for a while, since she hadn't had this opportunity since before the trip. She wandered over to a food stall and bought two sandwich wraps for dinner, then slowly ate them as she wandered around the village. She felt like she had stepped through a portal and back in time a couple decades. The buildings were made out of brick and wood and the tall fence that surrounded the entire village looked like it could fall to one halfway coordinated Grimm attack, yet it had somehow served its purpose so far.

''A place like this... how long before it falls to darkness just like man's every other attempt to expand beyond the kingdoms?''

She pulled out her Scroll and was surprised to see that she had received several texts from her friend Fen throughout the day. Because the device had been on silent, she'd missed all the alerts, but she took no hesitation now in sitting down at a small circular cafe table ouside and responding.

Fen: So how's the job going so far?

Platinum: It's kind of a mess

Platinum: i'll give you the details when I get back.

Within seconds a reply had come up.

Fen: lol that sux :P

Platinum: it's pretty bad actually, some guy's hella pissed @ me

Fen: lol

Platinum: T.T

Fen: hey well Automne and I were thinking of going to the mall next friday afterschool, since the guys 'll be doing their own thing all weekend.

''Platinum: Sounds good, I really need a break. See you then!''

Fen: Seeya!!!

Platinum returned her Scroll to her pocket and not one second after heard a familiar gruff voice yelling from inside the restaurant she was sitting in front of. Having nowhere to go, she was forced to sit through Kreutznauer's angry tirade to a baffled Vert.

"Being slaughtered like a chew toy, huh?" She murmured. The guy was a classic Huntsman to the core, if he thought the biggest threat to humans was the Grimm. This opinion would have made a lot of sense about eighty years ago, but right now the dark beasts showed absolutely zero intention or ability of overrunning humanity.

But damn, he was shouting really, really loudly. She tipped her chair over slightly to take a quick glance through the open doorway, and saw that now the Huntsman was attacking head individuals in society. Platinum couldn't disagree with these points, but  saying "politically incorrect" things like this at the top of your lungs is not a great way of going about society. ''With a mouth like that, how has he not been fired already for insubordination? ''​Platinum was starting to think her hunch of him having anger management issues was actually a thing.

It was what he said just after this which set off anger within Platinum as well. ''Look, I never planned for the trucks to hit the Mares, it was the stupid driver who got freaked out! ''she wanted to scream back at him. But even as her face flushed she stayed put and tried to listen to the rest of his mad speech. After it ended she sat silently, but blood was pounding in her ears and she was thinking furiously of a way to approach this problem.

There are infinite ways to approach an argument, her father had said to her. U''sually the ones that involve your personal feelings aren't going to settle the matter cleanly. ''This quote and the reprimands she had already received on the trip for reckless behavior earlier made the girl stop and evaluate the situation.

She rose deftly and strode into the restaurant and before Vert and Kreutznauer, grabbed an open chair, and swung it in front her facing the two males. She sat down in it and leaned forward towards the elder Huntsman, yellowish-orange eyes blazing and ready to go full-on affluent intellectual mode.

"Look, I get it, you've got a problem with me because I'm reckless and I don't think things through, etcetera. But can you not blare it out to every living creature in a 50-mile radius? You wanted to discuss this issue once we got to a safe place, so let's do it now." She rested her elbows on the table, and noticed a shot glass resting on it. ''Is he drunk? ''she realized. Too late to go back now.

"So give it to me. I want to hear everything I've done wrong to my face, not broadcasted over a fucking speaker. And maybe we can work out a consensus so I don't become a bigger liability in the future."

She glanced over at Vert, noticing that he had always remained by the professor's side throughout th entire expedition. "You can go if this makes you uncomfortable," she told him. "it's something I'd like to settle between just the two of us."

She focused back at Kreutznauer. Ideally once he was finished with his criticism of her he'd be open to some about himself, but if he was anything like most adults this wouldn't happen. Most people simply couldn't tolerate their mistakes being pointed out by someone half their age.
