Every time I think of Fiona, I just hear Lily James talking like she did in cinderella yet I also kinda hear her with a soft Irish accent (which I will make her have!). Also, don't judge me for watching that, I've been stuck with watching my cousins while they watch almost ever movie on Disney+
anyway! back to the new story!

The J of team ORNJ was walking around mantle as he had finished his job of walking children to their school. However, that wasn't the real mission, it was a ruse. Ironwood wanted Jaune undercover to keep an eye out for Robyn Hill and Her Happy Huntresses. However, Jaune really didn't want to as he had heard what they stood for, not to mention Jaune didn't much like the general as he was becoming a bit unhinged, Jaune assumed that it was because he might actually lose to Jaques Schnee, However, General Ironwood was the lesser of two evils and everyone was trying to make sure that Jaques didn't win. He had heard storied of the man and didn't like him, one thing Jaune hated about him was that he was smart, and he used his wits to his advantage and got away with all sorts of crimes. Jaune didn't like people like that, he hated people like that.
Jaune didn't like people who lead with an iron fist. Jaune always looked at the battle like a chessboard, and right now, the chess pieces were in disarray, the problem with knowing the movements of Salem and her faction was that they worked in the shadows, so Jaune was going to do just that, Jaune didn't care what orders Ironwood gave him, Jaune only had one goal, keep his friends alive and don't let Salem win. Ok, that might've been two goals but whatever. Sure Jaune was on the same side as Ozpin and his little circle, but Jaune had now learned not to trust a word out of Ozpin and Ironwood's mouths, they both thought they were better than the other and both lied so much, even to their own friends.
One of the reasons Jaune was walking around was because he was looking for a certain person that may have dealings within the small underground of Atlas and Mantle. However as he turned a corner he had crashed right into someone, he was fine but noticed that the person that he crashed into, who was a woman, was falling, Jaune acted quickly and grabbed the woman's hand and helped them back on their feet.
"Sorry about that" Jaune said with a nervous smile
"It's quite alright" Replied the woman
Jaune got a closer look at her noticed her white hair along with, Sheep ears? she also wore a pin on the left side of her chest, which was that of a Robin.
"I should've looked where I was going," the woman told him while scratching the back of her neck
'cute' Jaune thought, but he shook his head, "no it was my fault, I was in deep thought" Jaune replied with his tone becoming awkward
The woman held out her hand, "Fiona, Fiona Thyme!" the woman, Fiona, introduced her self with an awkward smile
"Jaune Arc" Jaune replied as he shook her hand
"Jaune Arc huh? Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, Lassie's must love it" Fiona said with a giggle
Jaune smiled and chuckled, "funny, I actually use to say that" Jaune replied
Fiona giggled again, "I think ya should use it more Laddy"
"Really?" Jaune asked
"Aye" Fiona replied, "I think it works"
Jaune smiled, "So... Fiona, would you like to get something to eat?" Jaune asked awkwardly
Fiona's expression was shocked before she smiled and nodded, "why not, I could eat almost eat a horse"
Jaune smiled and he walked with her to a local fast food place that he had seen nearby. As they were walking, both were worried that if they said something awkward it would ruin a conversation, Jaune was worried he might trip over her words while Fiona was worried that she would embarrass herself, she was never good at talking, especially with someone she just met, but she was gonna try. She took a deep breath in and let it out before speaking
"So, What do ya do for a livin' Jaune?" Fiona asked
"Oh, I'm a huntsman" Jaune replied
"That true? I don't think I've seen ya 'round Mantle before" Fiona asked
"I just barely got my license and my first assignment was here in Mantle" Jaune told her
"sucks for ya then, not a lot of action here in Mantle" Fiona replied
"Actually, I like this assignment" Jaune replied
"Really? an' here I thought every huntsman was inchin' to kill some Grimm" Fiona replied
"Killed enough of those before coming to Atlas" Jaune replied "I actually like that I don't have to fight any at the moment"
Fiona smiled, "so what's the job ya got?" Fiona asked
"walking children to school" Jaune replied
"wow! Imagin ya train to kill Grimm and then you're assigned to walk wee lasses and lads to school" Fiona told him "If it were me, I would've been angry"
"Well, I'm sure my team was bummed out but I really don't care what jobs we get" Jaune replied "I just like helping the kids, not to mention they're very sweet kids"
Fiona nodded with a smile "Aye, I bet"
"So what do you do Fiona?" Jaune asked
"I'm a proud member of the Happy Huntresses" Fiona replied
"Oh, the group that works with Robyn Hill? isn't she the same person running for council right?" Jaune asked
"Aye, that's the one" Fiona replied
"That actually sounds pretty cool," Jaune said with a joyous tone
Fiona nodded, "damn right lad!" Fiona said with pride
"Well, I'm sure working under Robyn is pretty cool, I like what she has planned for Mantle" Jaune replied
"She's a hard worker and I ain't got a doubt she'll win!" Fiona said
"Also, if you don't mind me asking, your accent, you wouldn't happen to be from western Vale, would you?"
"Born and raised, came from a small town called Charmington" Fiona replied, "why do ya ask Lad?"
"No reason, in particular, I'm from the southwest of Vale originally, grew up in a small town called Paris"
"that so!? I've got me a cousin in Paris" Fiona replied
"Really? Which district does she live in?" Jaune asked
"The shopping district I believe" Fiona replied "I haven't seen me cousin nearly a year"
Jaune smiled, "same, I haven't seen my family in over two years," Jaune told her "so when did you move to Mantle?" Jaune asked
"right after I turned 18, came here to become a huntress, had training back in Vale and wanted to see what made Atlas academy so special"
Jaune nodded, "so what made it so special?" Jaune asked
Fiona's expression somewhat saddened, "nothing, not a damn thing made it special. I realized that everyone up there, in Atlas, they don't give flying fuck about the people down here" Fiona replied "So I finished my training there, and then I abandoned my team, bunch of asshats they were, only worried about killing Grimm and Bandits, never looking back and seein' how much pain both Soldier and Huntsmen caused Mantle, so I came here and decided to defend this place along with Robyn" Fiona finished
Jaune looked to her and nodded. In truth, it was the same way with Ozpin, He had caused the people of Vale and the students of Beacon pain... all because they wanted to keep an enemy secret. Jaune hated how arrogant both sides have been. But, as the saying goes, what's done in the dark, will be brought to the light.
However, the two arrived at the fast-food place and Jaune opened the door for her
"After you," Jaune said with a smile
"Why aren't you a charmer lad" Fiona replied with a giggle
The two walked in and were going to order food. Things were just begging between these two dorks.
