Commander Ghost wrote: what i find funny is how the people that are claimed "paranoid" always knows that something big is gonna happen It seems like the big players have a sense that something big is brewing. Ozpin is cautious and suspicious; whether before or after Qrow confirmed 'Queen has pawns'. He seems to be gaining intelligence and planing his moves; relying on not playing his hand and falling into a trap or showing the enemy what he knows. Ironwood has the sense things are going on behind the scenes and seems to be searching for the threat to take it down and stamp it out by force before anything bad happens. (Both sides have good intentions, though their methods conflict with eachother.)

It's the outsiders and higher ups that seem to know more about the overall state of things, yet they want to avoid panicking the kingdoms and for now will continue to try and uphold the illusionary 'status quo' that they're still in a 'time of peace'. (Which is technically true until something major happens.) Ozpin is much more adamant about upholding this; again, because he doesn't want to let the enemy know that he thinks he knows what they're up to until he knows what they're up to.

This is why new 'outsider' characters like Qrow and Raven are intriguing as they can bring a new angle to the overall state of affairs in Remnant. Maybe the whole 'we have a lot to talk about' line Raven says isn't the 'I'm your mother' talk most of us think it is, but rather a 'you need to be more careful because this is what's really going on' type of talk. This would mirror Ozpin's warning of team RWBY's meddling and that though they've done well and had teamwork carry them far, the outside world is still something to be cautious about taking on at their current state.
