Fame means nothing to me nor does money, since I didnt exactly have much to my name after I joined the Gae Ceann. The Vale is the same when it comes to Hunters and Huntresses, but some help in different ways. Some fight crime, others fight Grimm and some build Weapons to fight Grimm. I tinker, I build and I help by letting my creations fight the Grimm. Dust allows me to utilize each weapons strength and weaknesses. I want to go on the Dust mission simply because I can better serve my team and my fellow people better when I have access to the Dust. What good am I if both my Gauntlets are useless and out of ammunition?" She asked with level face, trying not to sound a little annoyed. Thinking she was in it for fame or money, how dare she! Ruby didnt care for money or power, she wanted to help others. Things in Eis were worse she knew and agreed especially since survival was given by the lifeblood of supplies. They would be subjected to the Grimm and the Elements of this frozen hole in the ground.<br/><br/>She took a deep breath as she continued "On the subject of the Grimm, I think we can both agree they will come after both parties. However, it is my firm belief that if they do come, they will come harder on the caravan for the Dust. There is no land travel, only a ferry meaning more people will be needed to guard the boats. Even if I do not get to help Professor West with his research, Ill still be useful. Granted I could also be useful with the supplies, that still doesnt mean the Dust would mean their survival as well. Think about this, with the new Dust, the Hunters and Huntresses in Eis have a new weapon against the Grimm. A stronger offense is a better defense and while supplies are useful, so is something that can possibly obliterate the Grimm. Gwen you know I wouldnt ever turn my back to you or Rai, I am loyal as a bulldog but this is something I cannot move on. The possibility for advancement of technology and defense is too great. More then likely Professor West would set up a lab there. I mean, we dont even know how to handle this new Dust. It could be extremely volatile or dense, its weight could take three cranes to lift"<br/><br/>Ruby would breath for a moment or two as she tried to catch her breath. Man she was really a chatterbox today as she slid the last Dust shell home into her clips and then began to work on the Lightning rounds. Each round sparked a little as she laid her fingers on the crystals and loaded them into the special circle like belts.<br/><br/>As Rai entered and spoke, Ruby took in every single word he spoke and while Ruby did not like it, he made perfect sense. The immediate aid to the people of Schwartz would be useful in the short term, it would offset the long term: Where Ruby had her head firmly planted. Maybe there was a chance Professor West would set up a Lab out there, or maybe there wasnt and they lost the mines to the Grimm. All in all though, she knew one of them was going to happen. Ruby let out a long and dramatic sigh while rubbing her temples "Just...give me a few okay? Im gonna go for a walk" She said, locking up her Dust and slid it back under her bed and placed the Dust belts into their cases as well before heading out the door of the Dorm Rooms.<br/><br/>It was hard, very very hard to make this choice. Teammates over Scientific advancement. Perhaps there was another who might help her figure out a choice.
