[ The assignment is a simple one - a half-day field trip to collect scattered dental pulp and skin tissue from Grimm bones, all under Oobleck’s watchful eye. Every student on the trip has been given a small box with very precise equipment for dealing with minuscule samples—namely, tweezers and scalpels and the like. It’s nice, she thinks, to get out of the classroom for a few hours and enjoy the fresh air, despite the uncharacteristic work. The scent of damp grass and pine needles cloy the air, filling her lungs with dew. Breathing it all in is invigorating, almost lovely.
Ren and Nora are, as ever, only an arm’s length away, with the young man serving as a tepid - but content, with a subdued smile to indicate - minder for the hyperactive young woman. Pyrrha casts them a glance and a smile, warmed by the presence of her friends, before her eyes divert left. ]
Jaune.
[ As ever, she slides in by his side. It’s not a spot she’ll be able to stay in forever, after all. But, for now, it’s where she belongs. ]
Did you find something?
[ He sure seems to be scraping something off a rock with vigor. She doesn’t have the heart to tell him that it’s only moss. ]
but yeah that's about... all he's been able to find. he wants to be a better leader though, and a warrior, so of course he won't say that he actually doesn't have a clue what he's doing. the blonde turned to pyrrha suddenly, laughing nervously and scratching at the back of his head.]
Oh just uh... testing out... them 'ol tools...
[yup. he put the rock down now!!] Say uh Pyrrha... for these samples we have to find- um don't we have to be really quick about it? I mean, I know a lot of them just end up disappearing after you kill them so... yeah. Ehehe...
[he more so means she might have to be the quick one and get a sample before a grimm would disappear entirely. but then again.... professor port does have several grimm heads mounted on walls... how did he even manage that?!]
[ Smiling, she kneels down beside him. Her gaze drifts between his working hands and his crooked smile, paying polite attention to both in equal measure. Jaune’s question gets a gentle answer; in contrast to him, she’s learned on the subject matter and able to explain to him without hesitating. ]
Doctor Oobleck wants us to preserve the samples in saline.
[ Reaching into his box, she pulls out a small test tube labelled DENTAL. Giving it a tiny shake, the liquid inside bubbles. ]
That’s the only they’ll last long enough for his study.
[ Pyrrha takes Jaune by the elbow and gently steers him to a fresh patch of dirt a few feet away. A tree’s shadow throws shade over their heads, blotting out the worst of the midday sun. ]
It’s not necessary. Look.
[ Kneeling down, she beckons for him to do the same. ]
There are dead hair cells left in here. [ Plucking one up with a set of tweezers and showing it to him. ] Remember what Dr. Oobleck told us in class?
