On the ship ride to Solitas, Sun cheerfully shows everyone how he and Blake passed time on the way to Menagerie, trying to get everyone to play games with him. Ruby and Nora gleefully join in, Ren joins because Nora, Yang joins because Ruby and because she's amused, Jaune joins because why not, and Ruby makes Weiss join.

Honestly, I'll actually be kind of upset if they don't change Sun's outfit for the trip to Atlas because I can't imagine having his shirt open would be very comfortable in the tundra. They should have him at least button up his shirt and maybe have Blake button up her jacket.

They get to Atlas, and Qrow tries to talk guards into getting Ironwood to let them in, like "Listen, I'm, uh, 'buddies' with Ironwood, okay? If he doesn't wanna let us in, tell him we have the elic-ray of owledge-knay." Okay, I'm joking about Qrow saying "Relic of Knowledge" in Pig Latin to get Ironwood to let them in.

I still wanna hold onto my headcanon that Sun is the child of a Human and a Faunus and that he grew up with his Human parent, surrounded by Humans, and that's why he needed Blake to explain the White Fang and Faunus history to him. Just until we get his actual backstory, which probably won't come until they go to Vacuo.

I also would very much like it if, when they go to Vacuo, we get a world building thing where Nicholas Schnee had promised Vacuo that his company would not open mines within Vacuo's kingdom borders, due to the fact that mining would make it harder for them to try to restore their environment to a better condition. But then, after Jacques took over, the SDC slowly started opening mines within the kingdom's borders anyway. One of the things Weiss had in mind for when she took over the SDC was that she would shut down the mines within Vacuo's borders and honor her grandfather's promise. Now she feels guilty for losing her heiress status. Plus, it would show what Qrow said in WoR: SDC about Jacques caring more about money than people - he opened mines in a very Dust-rich area, at the cost of making it hard for the inhabitants to improve their quality of life by fixing the environment. Buuut I'm pretty sure Miles and Kerry won't do that.
