For Ruby

"I swear, Ruby. I'm not kidding about the bad luck thing."

Oscar had relented to Ruby's request that he join her while she set up anti-burglary traps in her shop after a recent break-in. Why anyone would want to burglarize Ruby Rose was beyond him, but he was always glad to keep her company-- except this time.

"I'm not even carrying either of the gifts that Dorothea gave me, and it's not like Uncle Qrow is around for any of it," he continued, babbling on at an anxious pace. "First Peter and I got snowed in a weird abandoned shed and he was just wearing these thin tennis shoes, then Ange's sister-in-law tried to ask me to be a third in her arrangement with Battler when we were matched during that Speed Dating thing."

He groaned at the thought. It wasn't that Beatrice herself was unpleasant, but he had no desire to get too caught up in the source of the problems within the Ushiromiya family. Staying friendly was only a sound decision. Going further... was dangerous.

In a different way than anything on Remnant could be.
