JAUNE ARC POV

"So you are Pyrrha's partner." Pyrrha's mom said as she served them refreshments in their living room.

"Yeah." He said, feeling strangely nostalgic and determined. He didn't know this woman but he made a promise in his heart and he won't allow her daughter to die this time. "Pyrrha told you about me?"

"She did. You're her boyfriend, yes?"

He coughed and spluttered as the coffee he was drinking went down the wrong end.

Pyrrha patted his back and gave him a handkerchief to clean himself.

He wiped his mouth and turned to look at Pyrrha's mom "Sorry about that. Yeah. I didn't know that she told you about us."

"As if my daughter can keep such a secret from me." She said and looked at Pyrrha who blushed and looked down at her hands.

That was… strangely endearing. To see Pyrrha act like a child in front of someone else.

There was silence after that as he sipped his tea and waited for her eventual questions about him, his family, his intentions toward Pyrrha and so.

That was why he was so surprised by what she said next.

"I'm glad." Pyrrha's mom said.

He blinked at her.

"You are?" he paused "I mean… I'm glad that you're… glad… for your daughter. But I…"

"Expected that I'll give you the third degree."

"Yeah. Kinda. Isn't that how it always happens in movies?"

"It does." Pyrrha's mom nodded with a mischievous smile. "Don't about it though. When Pyrrha's father returns home, he'll give you all the 3rd degree to see if you're worthy of our daughter or not. But for now, I'm just happy that my girl isn't lonely anymore and has someone to rely on."

"Mooom" Pyrrha said with an embarrassed smile and he chuckled.

"So…" Pyrrha's mom said as she turned to look at him with a kind smile "I've heard a lot about you from my daughter. But I do want to hear about yourself from your own mouth." She crossed her legs and looked at him with interest "So… tell me about yourself."

—————

An hour later, Pyrrha's mom was showing him Pyrrha's photos from when she was a toddler, much to Pyrrha's embarrassment, when the doorbell rang.

Pyrrha's mom left the two of them to answer the door and returned back a moment later with a tall burly looking man with a scarred face and a stern expression.

Judging by the way Pyrrha's mom was holding his arm, he must be Pyrrha's father.

"Father." Pyrrha said as she stood up from the bed and went to hug him.

He put an arm around Pyrrha and for a moment, his stern expression softened. But then the man looked at him and the stern expression was back along with a scowl.

"And who are you boy?" Pyrrha's father asked.

"I'm Jaune Arc sir."

"Jaune Arc?" Pyrrha's father paused and his eyes narrowed in concentration "Any relation to Joseph Arc."

"Yes. He's my father."

Pyrrha's father nodded with a slightly nostalgic look on his face "I see. I knew Joseph Arc back when I was young. We weren't close but we worked together a few times. He was a good man." Then the man looked at him, his eyes not as stern as before. "Do you know how to use that blade boy?" he asked while pointing at the sword in his belt.

"Yes sir."

"Good. Meet me at the training ground in five." With that, he turned and left.

He looked at Pyrrha in confusion and she looked away in embarrassment.

Well, at least he now knew who trained Pyrrha.

Five minutes later, he fought Pyrrha's father and defeated him in a 1vs1 battle much to his shock and Pyrrha's mom's amusement.

Pyrrha's father then turned to Pyrrha and said 'You chose well' and left.

And… that was how he met Pyrrha's family.

Yeah.
