"The truth isn't always scary."

Sheena blinked at the sight of Oum sitting still at the center of his room.

Now, normally, they slept in one room, but during extremely busy work days, they tended to sleep at where they worked. Since Sheena did, indeed, have her own line of work and businesses, she did not mind having to avoid Oum while he worked. After all, they did spend time together whenever they rested or ate something.

As of recent days, Oum had grown quiet about talking about his show. Despite its currently good reception, the animator never really said anything about it at a certain point during the development of the episodes. She found it strange that he would not think about sharing ideas to her.

She found it even stranger to see four small children using Oum's body as a playground.

A red-haired midget tumbled onto Oum's lap, only to climb up his right arm and repeat the action endlessly. Meanwhile, a dark-haired girl lay still on his head as she slept quietly, while a snowy heiress was chasing after a blonde brawler that stole a piece of her cookie.

Oum sat still, with four tiny things using his body as if it were a jungle gym.

He had called her up to apparently inform her of something, and now, she sort of understood why he called with such a serious tone.

"…"

"…"

The silent squeals of two hyperactive sisters and the cries of one angry Schnee were the only sounds that filled the room.

Soon, the Huntresses seemed to notice Sheena, for they soon stopped playing. Ruby fell on Oum's lap one last time before staring at his wife with curious eyes, while Weiss only managed to take note of Sheena only when Yang stopped running and bumped right into her. Three small Huntresses stared at the woman as if she was the one of the most amazing things they had seen in their lives.

Oum remained in his position with his eyes closed.

Sheena remained standing with a plate of fruits in her hands.

To prevent herself from dropping the plate out of sheer surprise, the woman carefully put it on the long worktable before taking small steps towards Oum. Each step she took, the Huntresses' eyes seemed to grow wider and wider.

The woman soon found herself standing close to her husband. Crouching gently to not look harmful to the girls, Sheena stared with her knees near her face as she crossed her arms around them.

Silence took over for a short moment.

Then, as if she realized that silence did, indeed, take over the room, Ruby squealed as she leapt over to Sheena. The red Huntress jumped from Oum's knee to Sheena's knee.

A Ruby to the knee felt surprisingly soft.

Climbing up to stand on Sheena's knee, Ruby straightened her legs as she looked up at the wife of the man who created her. After remaining still for a few seconds, the girl burst into a fit of curiosity and fascination, as she soon began to wave at Sheena with a wide, open smile.

Sheena glanced at Oum, her eyes pleading for something. Oum opened his eyes very slightly, as if he knew what she was thinking, and slowly nodded before closing his eyes again.

The lady stopped hugging her knees as her hands reluctantly raised themselves in the air. With great caution, Sheena carefully picked Ruby up, making a cup with her hands for Ruby to stand on. She stared at the Huntress with gray eyes, and Ruby stared back at the woman's hazy blue eyes while waving fervently.

Oum could tell that Sheena just wanted to hug the living life out of Ruby, but he knew that she had self-control. With that in mind, he opened his eyes just in time to see his wife looking as if she were about to die out of Ruby's innocence.

Needless to say, he wondered how on Earth he managed to remain sane during the Huntresses' stay at his place. In fact, he was surprised that his wife began to play with Ruby without even questioning on where she came from. On a first glance, it seemed unrealistic, but then again, even he himself experienced the confusion of wondering where the small girls came from.

Perhaps it was the magic of Team RWBY's colorful members?

The sight of Sheena petting Ruby with an amazed smile did confirm two things.

She was the first person to meet the tiny miracles other than himself. And she seemed outstandingly happy about carrying Ruby in her hands.

The next day, she bombarded him with endless amounts of questions about the tiny miracles that appeared in his room. Oum did not know how to answer most of her questions, but he did know about the many interesting interactions the miracles made.

Never did he feel so relieved to find Sheena accepting the small Huntresses with a truly excited demeanor.
