Alister internally sighed he disliked it when he had to be the peacemaker to these two. He was a ex serial killer for Dust's sake. He was the worst one to be given the role for moral judge. But he had to do so because Sapphira wasn't here and he rather eat warm sugar donuts at a bakery later than deal with this.
So Alister walked in between the two and shoves a reindeer plush to the both of them and animated the plushies to hug the two. "Are you two done with the arguing? Persy said something careless but she means well. If it was any other person Ru I'd see your anger to be a little more valid but we know Persy. She's our friend, she knows how hard it is for us. So I'd expect you to be less hair trigger for her." Alister said to Rudolph with a frown, to help get the point across that this was not a fight to pick. He then turned to Persy and continued his chidding. "And Persy though I know your intentions are good we expect you to be more sensitive about it because we know you know. And though both of you guys have your own faults on this let's not something small spark up and hurt our friendship. Fighting like this is what causes people to go and think the way they are now. Violence breeds violence as how kindness breeds kindness." Alister then smiled as he hugged the two together. "Now can we all just kiss and make up?"

Rudolph, Alister, and Persy were taking the day to stroll around town, window-shopping. It all seemed quite routine, but as they were walking, they had stopped to get some shaved ice on the street. The vendor had been a lynx faunus with rows of braids tied into a bun behind her head and feline ears studded with earrings. Only after they started enjoying their treats did someone speak.
“She was very pretty, for a faunus,” Persy commented off-handedly, taking a small bite of her sour apple ice cone. “Such a shame she’s chosen to live behind a booth. I’m sure she could go places if she tried.”
Rudolph stopped and gave her an odd look. “… There are couple things wrong with what you said.”
Persy blinked at Ru, genuinely confused. “Did I offend you, darling?”
Rudolph wanted to fold his arms, but he looked at the treat in his hands and just grimaced. “Yes. For one, she was pretty. Not for faunus, just pretty. You’re pretty, for a human,” he snarls. “Does that feel good? Why separate?” Persy flinches, but Ru wasn’t done.
“But that is just first part! You think she is choosing to work there? You think she is happy to be servant, making little money to survive? You assume she hasn’t tried. You do not know her.”
“Oh, and you do?” Persy huffed. They had both turned their bodies to fully face each other, staring each other down and temporarily forgetting they had a third party with them.
Alister was about to go blow a gasket. Then again he wasn't one to judge. He had fucked up... a lot. But at least he doesn't push away what little friends he had in his life. When one familiarises oneself with death too much they start to realise how Life with all it's pain, and suffering, and bullshit. Was worth living for. He sighs as he goes to let Ru stew, better that he let's him get it out of his system. Persi needed him more right now.
"Hey Persi? How about we go and have a little chat. Maybe get some coffee or something.. it helps when these things happen. Tu sais que tu es devenu mon ami quand tu n'étais pas obligé. Votre ma dame chevalier. You are my friend, you are our friend. Maybe it sounded like you... well it was a misunderstanding, but still. Ru didn't have to go and be so harsh. I love him but he's still a little red all over. Remember our promise back then? Even if Ru fell in love with one of us or with someone else we'd still friends. And especially now when Ru is acting like a dum dum I'll absolutely be your friend. Now.. Coffe and Cookies?"

"I don't know maybe the cafe sells stock cookies. But if we go to one of the hipster cafés that we normally go to. You know the ones where the barista has a beanie. Haha~ don't worry I am sure it will be fun. But I am happy that your thinking of improving on your own choice. Me and Gabriel weren't the best of friends when we first met in the Orphanage, hell back then I hated her. But she kept at it and here we are now with me being the Godfather to her twins. Look what I am getting at is the more trials you go through together as friends the stronger your bond becomes. So stop being a negative Nancy or I'll start poking your face like no tomorrow." Alister pouted as he joked. Laughter is the best medicine after all. Besides making others laugh is a skill he finds himself good at.
"Were friends. Nothing about you being human and me being faunus is going to change that. Me having bunny ears doesn't change the fact that I have thoughts, feelings, and opinions. And all those things matter, many others would go and think otherwise but you do think they matter. That in itself proves to me your my friend. And the fact you could have gone out of your to hate and hurt me back then but you didn't. You befriended me, you comforted me, and as your friend I will do so with you as well. Even if you say I am annoying so there! Whew that was cheesey I need coffee and cookies. To a Hipster 'Fanfic' worthy Coffeshop we go!" Alister takes Perci's hand and starts walking to the coffeeshop.
