Her daughter's affection barely even phased her, an amused chuckle and a pat to the head being her only reactions to being treated basically as a jungle gym.

She let Ruby's babble wash over her as she guided her into the kitchen for cookies (naturally, the oven beeped just as they arrived to announce they were done, because Summer was Just That Good). As she took the tray out, she decided to respond to the most important sounding points.

"So Oz hasn't updated his test since my Beacon days, hmmm? Well, I suppose if it isn't broken, don't fix it, right?" Even if Ruby's own response to that appeared to be "if it isn't broken, you can't kill things with it fast enough", at least in terms of weaponry.

"But the Schnee heiress! That would be little Weiss, right? I've met her sister a couple times, but Qrow's worked with her far more." A little hint, perhaps, that her Uncle might be a good source of information on her teammate, should she need it. "Don't let her prickliness get to you, Ruby. My own partner threatened to cut my head off... at least five times, but we ended up working together beautifully. I can't count how many times we saved each others' lives out there."

Of course, then she'd left them all behind to rejoin the bandits, but... well, there were circumstances behind that. "I'm very proud of you for becoming leader, of course, but that's a big responsibility. Your team is going to be counting on you, Ruby. Your sister, your partner, and..."

Hmmm, Ruby hadn't mentioned the last member of her team. Must be the "B" in RWBY. Summer raised a curious eyebrow at her as she got out plates for the cookies.

Well, now Summer was very curious about this Blake. Of course, it would be wrong to pry at her daughter for more information, but perhaps Yang would have more she could actually say about her partner. It sounded like the girl might be in some kind of trouble, and if nothing else, Summer would like a little forewarning.

But it was obvious that there was another subject to tackle here. Summer's lips quirked up at how her daughter described her partner. Ah, young love. That brought back memories...

"Ice Queen, is it? Not exactly big on showing her emotions, I'm guessing?" She nodded sagely. That made sense, given what she knew of the Schnees. "You sound like you're getting along well regardless, though."

That's her daughter. Worming her way into even the coldest hearts. Summer reached down to scoop up Zwei and stroke the little pup while her daughter concerned herself with the results of her baking.

"I meant her real emotions, dear. Unless all she feels towards you three is anger and exasperation, I rather doubt that what you're describing qualifies." If anything, it sounded like she was covering for something. Affection, most likely, but that might be Summer being optimistic again.

And then Ruby brought up that subject. Summer hadn't anticipated it, and so she turned to her daughter with a frown and a searching gaze.

"There are... a lot of ways to take that question, Ruby. Is this about what Oz said to you when he let you into Beacon?" Subtle, Ozpin. Real subtle, that comment.

"I can tell you a few things, but you'll need to tell me more about why you're asking for me to make them useful to you." She poured herself some tea and put a glass of milk next to Ruby before sliding into a chair next to her daughter for this conversation.

"Ohhhhhhh." Well, that explained what she actually meant, and as it turned out, this might not actually be that much of a change of subject from talking about her partner. Given family history, and how smitten she sounded talking about her.

"Well, as a growing girl, you'd have some of those feelings anyway, sweetheart. For you and I, they're just... a little harder to ignore, if you catch my meaning." Harder. Tai and Yang would be proud of her.

"Do you know how to deal with that when it does happen?" She'd told her girls the basics a long time ago, but a crash course in masturbation hadn't really been in the cards, and Ruby might be a bit adrift in trying to care for her... unique body.

“Well Ruby, the first thing I have to tell you is that just ignoring it is... Not really an option. Not long-term, anyway.” And if she’s been trying to do that this whole time, she must be a mess inside by now.

“Your body is going to demand some sort of... satisfaction. I expect it already is by now. Fortunately, it isn’t that difficult to provide that for yourself if you can get a little time alone. I recognize that might seem difficult when you’re sharing a room with three other girls, but you’re a clever girl, Ruby. I’m sure you can do it.” She’d gone to some remarkable lengths herself, during her years there.

“Of course, that brings us to the subject of doing so in the first place. This may feel a little awkward, but I’m going to explain as best I can how to... please yourself.” Awkward indeed, but who else could possibly explain this to her? Yang had largely sorted things out for herself, but Ruby was clearly not going to be able to do that.

Really, topless Yang was just being mean. Not just to poor Ruby, but to anyone who was at all attracted to women.

“Alright. We’ll start here. “. Summer drew her hands up to gesture at her breasts. “A little attention to the chest works wonders for most women if done right. It won’t be enough to take care of things on its own, but it will definitely put you on the right track.”

She cupped her own breasts through her top and rolled them in her palms, trying not to think too hard about her daughter watching her do this. Even if it was sort of the point.

Though embarrassing, the fact that Ruby couldn’t help but stare at her was encouraging as well. Summer was getting into her demonstration, warming to the subject.

Then Ruby reached out to touch her. That hadn’t been part of the plan! She quickly moved to catch her daughter’s hand before it could reach its destination.

“I’m trying to show you how to please yourself, dear heart, not a partner.” Hmmm... bad choice of words there. “If you’re going to touch someone’s body, shouldn’t it be your own right now?”

"It's alright. Just try to relax, let your body tell you what it needs. It'll feel a little strange at first." She can't pluck at her nipples the way she usually does with her top still on, so she just slides her fingers across them and toys with herself a little more, letting Ruby get the general idea down.

"Don't try to follow my movements exactly. Go with what works for you, and it's okay if it takes you a little while to find out what that is. Just don't think too hard about it. Your mind can get in the way sometimes." That was probably part of the reason Yang had never come to her with this problem, aside from the obvious biological issue Ruby had. The elder sister wasn't dumb by any stretch of the imagination, but she was very good at turning off her brain and throwing herself into the physical.

"Focus on your nipples when you feel them start to harden, Ruby. But be careful. It's a thin line between making yourself feel amazing or like someone just put part of you in a vice."

"Yeah, it usually does at first, especially if you aren't in the mood just yet-" Summer cut off as she realized what her daughter was up to. That... hmmm, she couldn't really blame her for doing that. Hadn't she just been lamenting her own top getting in the way?

"Ruby?" It was probably a bad idea, what she was going to ask, but on the other hand, she might need to, in order to really help her poor, suffering girl out. "Would... this be easier for you if we took our clothes off, do you think?"

"That is natural, if a little excessive..." But then, if Ruby was taking after her all the way (and she usually did) then finding out she had an excessive drive for this sort of thing wasn't really that much of a surprise.

With her cloak already hanging up since before Ruby'd even gotten home, it was easy enough for Summer to deal with her own clothes. She didn't have a corset to worry about like her daughter, so she just bent down to tug off her shoes and stockings, then went for her shirt, exposing her bust. And the white, lacy little number encasing them.

She'd wanted to feel pretty today, and nice underwear helped with that. Now it felt like she was showing off... to her precious Ruby, at that.

Summer's hands were moving to her skirt when she was distracted by the sound of her daughter in pain. Everything else immediately stopped mattering anywhere near as much as soon as she heard that. Her eyes snapped immediately to her girl's face, then moved down to see what could be causing-

Oh. Yes, of course. She should have expected that, really.

"That can be difficult, yes. We may need to buy you some looser underwear. Boxers, or such. I'm used to tucking it-" Her skirt fell, revealing a pair of panties to match the bra which were... actually laying flat against her body, which was rather strange given what she'd just said.

"But you're still new to this sort of thing. Let it loose, Ruby. It's only me here, after all." The idea of forcing her to keep the thing stuffed into those tight undergarments was simply unacceptable.

It was hard not to wince at the state of Ruby's shaft. It was angry red, rising up like a tower out from between her legs, as though it was trying to make its fury at being bound up and ignored for so long obvious. She clearly needed as much help as Summer could provide.

"If it being least convenient is usually when you're near a lovely young woman or two, that's hardly surprising." After all, what else would it be responding to?

Summer reached out and laid a reassuring hand on her beautiful girl's shoulder, rubbing gently. "I know, it's frightening to think of anyone finding out. But it'll be okay, Ruby. Things will probably be awkward for a while, but if I made it through, I know you can too."

Her eyes looked down at the hard, throbbing length her daughter's been trying to deal with for so long, and her free hand reaches out, not to touch it directly, but to guide Ruby's hand to it. "Wrap your fingers around it, Ruby. Not too tight, especially not when it's like this. Just enough that you can feel it."
