Trees - June 2135

Summer let out a sigh as she reached for the cabinet, her fingers scraping over the bottom. Oh, for fuck’s sake, it was like the dorm was designed for giants! She knew the average height of a woman in Vale was around 5’8” with men being 5’11”, but this was ridiculous! And there wasn’t a stool anywhere to be seen!
“Something wrong, Summer?” Qrow’s voice made her turn around and she nodded, reaching for the cabinet. She just needed to grab a container for her sandwich, but Raven had put them up
way
too high. It was infuriating beyond words she couldn’t even reach the damn cabinet, let alone its contents.
He reached over her head and opened it, looking down at her. “Whatcha need?” She reached for the sandwich boxes and he grabbed one for her. She snatched it up and puffed her cheeks out. Ozpin really needed to have the damn dorms fitted with lower cabinets or at least provide a
damn stool
for vertically challenged students.
“If you need help getting something in the future, just ask. I’m sure none of us will mind.” There wasn’t any condescension in his tone, but she just stuck her tongue out. She could deal with things on her own; she’d survived on her own this long.
Qrow rolled his eyes and picked up the box, holding it over his head. She jumped and reached for it, not even able to reach the bottom. His expression flattened and she stuck her tongue out again. “Not everyone’s a damn tree; now give me the damn box or I’ll make sure your socks are soggy for the next month!” He just gave it to her. She stuck her tongue out again before putting her sandwich inside.
He’d still have soggy socks.
