Are we finally gonna see Mercury and Emerald back in action? They took a major backseat role in Volume 4 after being so involved in Volume 3, which was great may I add. In Volume 3, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were the centre piece of the plot pacing and it worked really well. But in Volume 4, they appeared in only 3 episodes and Mercury didn't even get a line. All we saw the last volume was scared, concerned, Emerald and pouting, pissed, Mercury. The two have a really fun dynamic together and I'd like to see it again. More smug Mercury and more cynical Emerald would be refreshing to see again.
Dread in the Air (V.5, E.2) told us that Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were going to be heading towards The Branwen Tribe with the Spring Maiden to discuss Salem's peace terms. Weiss is currently being helded captive with Raven, Yang's searching for her mother, and Qrow & Crew are bee-lining to retrieve the Spring Maiden so would they all arrive at the same time and instagate a huge fight? Would Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald be in and out or are we finally gonna see some more action from our favourite black girl with gun scythes and her kicking friend?
