[Oh good, he doesn't have to field another upset blond coming at him. Qrow relaxes a fraction too, even as he files away the different things Ryuji said. Past experiences, huh? It's nice to know Ryuji would have gone after him for it. It doesn't surprise him at all, just confirms who Ryuji has shown himself to be.]
Hey, if you were right, I'd agree that I had it coming. If you suspect something shady, it's worth taking the time to figure it out.
[Authority can't be trusted just for being authority. Qrow can't be trusted just because he seemed alright at their last encounters. Ryuji was not wrong to want to know.
At least Ryuji doesn't also call him old...
Qrow's eyes actually flicker away.]
Hey, I've known some decent teachers over the years. I wouldn't be where I am without them. [And that's the distant look: the teachers Qrow has known, people who are now gone. (People who would be so much better here in his place.) Qrow exhales, and like Ryuji has seen before, he brings himself back to the present.] This guy, though, doesn't seem like he's going to get himself added to that list.
