Coco led the way to Professor Ozpin’s office, having been called there once or twice in her time at Beacon.

The elevator doors opened and Yatsuhashi stormed out, closely followed by Coco. Fox lingered in the doorway. He was bothered that Velvet had been singled out for their failure in the village, too, but he didn’t think storming the headmaster’s office was going to make the situation better for any of them.

“What’s going on in here?” Yatsuhashi stomped toward Professor Ozpin’s desk. Velvet turned.

“Yatsuhashi?” she said. Her eyes were red and her face was wet with tears.

“Are you all right?” Yatsuhashi asked.

Professor Goodwitch moved swiftly to stand in front of Ozpin, smoothly drawing her crop and pointing it at Yatsuhashi. He levitated off his feet.

“Whoa.” He flailed his arms.

Professor Goodwitch flicked her crop upward and Yatsuhashi zipped all the way up to the high ceiling.

“It wasn’t Velvet’s fault,” Coco said.

Fox slowly strode into the room and stood next to Coco. If this was happening, it was going to happen to the whole team.

Professor Ozpin rose. “We were just having a conversation.” Then his voice lowered and became ominous. “To which you were not invited.”

“You need to have some respect for this office,” Professor Goodwitch said.

“Guys, just stop,” Velvet said.

“They shouldn’t have brought you here by yourself,” Yatsuhashi called down from above.

Coco folded her arms. “As team leader, I take full responsibility for everything that happened in Lower Cairn.”

“We take full responsibility,” Fox said.

“As you should.” Professor Ozpin rose. “Let him go, Glynda.”

She glanced at Yatsuhashi and then pointed her crop at the floor.

Yatsuhashi thudded to the floor. Professor Goodwitch stepped back.

“I deserved that.” Yatsuhashi winced as he got back on his feet.

“You okay, Velvet?” Coco asked.

“I’m fine.” Velvet was a little shocked, and a little embarrassed at her team’s overreaction, but she was also happy that they had come to her defense.
