So it's something corny like you're the shadow to his light, even though he sounds like a walking headache or the worst kind of person. Let me guess? One of those people who are like [ She puts on the most chipper smile, animatedly moving around and waving her hands. ] "Oh everything is going great, ha ha ha, I'm going to worry about things like playing games and cute girls and be upbeat despite the obvious reality of everything being horrible unless it happens in front of me, in which case I have the right to condemn someone else's actions when I don't understand them." [ and then it breaks and she rolls her eyes. ]
I know the feeling. I've never met that Battler, but he sounds like the kind of person I can't stand. Before Cinder's plans for Vale happened, she had me pretending to be friends with Team RWBY-- that is, your ex-girlfriend's team. I can't say I blame you for wanting to strangle all of them. I almost wish I could've been there, though I couldn't have done anything.
[ Even with Cinder in prison back then, it was still reason not to disobey orders and cause trouble. Not if she'd wanted to get her out. But now.. ]
I'm happy as long as they aren't, I don't have to do it by my hand. That's not how I work, even if I wasn't trying to keep my head low and bide my time back then.
[ Cinder's gone. Her name disappeared from the devices. Emerald didn't know what the hell she was doing besides sticking to Mercury like he's the last thing she has. Probably because he is. ] If I had you wouldn't have a place to hide anyway.
[ Emerald goes and sits down on the floor, shrugging. ]
I'm sure you would've found some place. There are hundreds of good places to squat, keep warm, stay out of peoples' way if you know what you're looking for. Though you might've had to change into something less flashy.

Yes, that is exactly it. He just wants to fool around and never takes things seriously... ahhh.... how I would love to strangle that moron.....

Isn't it irritating...? So frustrating...? To pretend to... care... when all you want to do is harm them. You get it Emerald, you understand...
It sure was an amazing experience, if only you had been there.

[battler shrugged.] I would have been out in the open... and I'm sure they would have found me.

[since it sounds as though she knows what she's talking about.]
If you think my outfit is flashy... then you would have been blown away from what the other magical creatures from my world would wear.
action;
They probably need some help going to the store if they're that bad. Yours is flashy within reason.

[time to just rest up yupyup.]

[ She waves and turns toward the door, but adds almost as an afterthought: ]
If you think anyone's snooping around here, call me before you're caught. I'll take care of it.
[ She doesn't wait for a response, instead walking out like it's none of her business. ]
