Had this little headcannon I first posted on tumblr but I think I want to share it here too.

I do recognise this is quite a hard situation to force since Ruby is badass after all, but if CRDL targets and torments her to the point of tears, it may cause Velvet to crawl out of her shell. Cos really, picking on the baby of Beacon, two years younger than you? That is a new low after the ear pulling.
