[Now that everyone is safely back from the Spirit world and Yang's gotten her latest Sanguis cycle over with, there's something she needs to do. Even if she's more conflicted about it than she's willing to admit, putting it off any longer just risks placing the people she cares about the most in danger.

Calling a meeting for this seems unnecessary and making a video post feels weird so instead she just sends a written message out to her friends and their allies through the network.]

Vernal wasn't the Spring Maiden. Raven Branwen is.

I don't want anybody to get hurt so please. Be careful around her. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner.

[There. It's done.]

[Yeeeeah...about that...]

She is. I saw her open the vault at Haven.

I wish I could say I had that same confidence in her.

[She just...does not trust anything about Raven anymore, least of all whether or not she'll hurt the people around her.]

[better_goodbyes]

I know that you relationship with your mother is . . . complicated. And she hasn't always shown to have other's best interest in mind. But I don't think there will be a problem, and if there is, then I'll step in and help to handle it.

But I believe that any misunderstandings can be handled by just talking to her.

[nailed_it]

Don't you think I've tried that?

[Perhaps a part of it is her innate stubborness but Yang's never been Ruby when it comes to forgiveness and understanding. You can only kick her so many times before she decides you're a lost cause. No, so far as she's concerned, if Raven wants to talk things out with her, then her mother is going to have to try to make it up to her. She's yet to prove herself.]

The only good thing she ever did was leave me with you.

[better_goodbyes]

And I'm grateful that she did because I had the chance to be there for you. To help teach and train you, and to watch you become the strong, and stubborn, young woman you are today.

[She had been there too watching, and Tai knew she had saved Yang once if only once since that was her rule. But he felt that now wouldn't be a good time to bring that up.]

Caution is a good thing, I'm not saying to trust her completely after everything that has happened. Just be careful not to make her out to be an unnecessary opponent.

[nailed_it]

[Oof, this is probably a conversation they should be having in person but then again perhaps not considering how suddenly Yang's anger spikes in response to that advice.]

She's the one who made an opponent out of me!

She's the one who treated me looking for her all my life like a damn game! She's the one who decided I had to take HER side or make an enemy of her. She's the one who tried to sell me and my friends out to the same people that destroyed Beacon.

I've never done ANYTHING to her.

[Except try to protect her?? For some reason???]

[better_goodbyes]

[If there was one thing that Tai knew it was how much of a hot head Yang was, and it was easy to see that she was ready to burst into flames. Really, she was just as stubborn and hard-headed as her mom, which meant that there wasn't going to be a way for Tai through to her right now. He'd have to wait and revisit the subject at a better time.]

Part of it is my fault. For so long I never told you anything about her, I didn't warn you about how she could be. But if that's how you feel, that she's someone you can't trust, I can understand.

Just know that I'll always be on your side.

[But Raven was for all of her faults, someone he had cared about and loved as well.]
