[Ruby is pretty glad she's already went through this once already. It's definitely something that would have taken her longer to wrap her head around if she had just been caught on this end of the conversation for the first time.]

Yeah. You know- I said the exact same thing to Yang and Blake when we showed up here.

It's a more than a little confusing and I don't get how it works.

[She does her best to stay calm and level. It's hard to fight off that bubbling feeling as it rises up to her chest though.

For now she'll just keep a firm grip on Penny's hands.]

Why don't we go sit down, and you can explain to me what happened.

I'm guessing- If Cinder was around it probably wasn't great.

...And why was I the one sending the message?

[She had a feeling in her gut she knew why. It was the same reason she hadn't told Ironwood the truth in first place.]
