Is anyone else starting to get a bad feeling from Ruby's uncle, Qrow?

After episode 16 (which was one freaking AWESOME way to end a volume), something didn't feel quite right and I went back to re-watch the part where Qrow messaged Ozpin. "Queen has pawns." This message kind of had me uneasy. I mean, Ozpin's dull response of "Hmmm" also has me questioning what they're talking about.

Now, needless to sayI feel the "Queen" Qrow was referring to may be Ruby. Now, this may be a "no shit Sherlock" for some, and for others it may be "that's not necessarily true." All a matter of perception. But the bad feeling I'm getting is that if it is about Ruby, why?

From day (episode) one, we've all been specualting about Qrow. His name, heritage, relationship to Ruby. Possiblity of being a faunus. Etcetera etcetera. But this episode made me question who Qrow is and his motives. We all know he's Ruby's scythe teacher, her uncle, and knows Ozpin somehow. But aside from that, we don't know much else, sans that he will be voiced by Monty (Mother F*cking) Oum himself.

Anyhow, ranting aside, I hope I'm not the only one feeling a bit uncomfortable about this. This might have some kinda major impact later. And likely, if the message was about Ruby, it will shed some light on some things we have all been wondering about. What was the meaning behind Ozpin specifically noting her eye color during their first meeting? Does this have anything to do with Ruby's past? What seperates Ruby from every other teenage girl wanting to become a huntress (aside from the fact that she is undeniably freaking adorable and cute)?

Okay, sorry for the rant, but this was bugging me all night, and even making sleep difficult. Since I know this wiki can get creative with theories and such, I'm kinda hoping that if anyone else thinks like this, or even otherwie, they could help me fill in a few places to try and make sense of it.
