[ birthdays, to ozpin, aren't so important to him personally. living for so long, the concept of celebrating a personal birthday is just a reminder of the fact that this isn't ending. but for the people in ozpin's life, that is definitely something to celebrate -- life is fleeting, for them, and therefore, it should be celebrated.
so it's for this reason that ruby finds a gift, at the house. it's packaged nicely, and contains (1) cartridge of bullets for crescent rose and (1) container of wax for the same doom scythe. there is also a note, with suspiciously neat handwriting (ozpin, it seems, has practiced his penmanship): ]
Ruby:
A very Happy Birthday to you, and I hope that you have a wonderful day with your family and friends. I hope you find these gifts useful, in your adventures and in your upcoming tasks. I have always found gifts of sentimentality outweigh pragmaticism, but I believe both fall neatly in line when it comes to your interests. Please avoid causing collateral damage in your pursuits.
However, I grant them to you with the hope that you will learn to expand your portfolio and learn how to effectively handle yourself in combat without your scythe, as you may not always have access to your weapons in the field. Hand-to-hand combat is just as useful as weaponry, and we must not be so reliant upon our weapons in this universe.
If you would like to learn, or otherwise chat, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
