TG: this is going to be fucking stupid isnt it

[want to get in touch with Dave? you can leave a TEXT, VOICE, or VIDEO message — or alternatively, he shouldn't be too hard to track down in person.]

[Qrow arrives holding two things badly wrapped in shiny paper. He holds them out to Dave. One is vaguely bottle-shaped, and the other kind of could be a container maybe?]

Merry Candlenights, kid. Figured you could do with these.

[When Dave opens them, he will find in the bottle shaped one a juice that is, in fact, apple, looking somewhat pulpy because it was handmade and strained. The container will show what happened to the strained material: it is applesauce.]

[this is the second time it's been a holiday or a birthday that Qrow's given him apple juice, and this is the second time that Dave is slightly caught off guard by it — and this time around, it's because he doesn't have anything to give in return.]

[that is to say, there are a number of gears turning at the moment.]

[.....]

Thanks.

[it's not tentative, or even confused anymore. it's as sincere as Dave Strider is ever gonna get.]

You're really pretty good at looking out for all of us, huh.

[And now it's Qrow's turn to be caught off guard. He looks physically taken a back, drawing away with surprise.]

Eh, I just figured you'd like it. Really looking out for you guys isn't really my thing. I mean it is my thing, I'm a Huntsman. I'm great at being a Huntsman. Just not so much in a being responsible for people, except for being responsible for keepin' 'em alive. So that kind of responsible, sure. But not the other kind.

[Stop him he's rambling]

[oh geez. maybe if Dave also rambles they'll cancel each other out?]

I mean, I dunno if you've been keeping inventory on literally everybody that universe hopped their way here, but "responsible" ain't really a word I'd use to collectively describe us.

So the fact that bein' responsible is apparently what you're paid to do as a Huntsdude already puts you like. At least a couple rungs above the rest of us on that metagorical ladder. [Jesus Christ he said metagorical.]
