[ Ford isn't sure what to make of the long delay, but he's not sure what to make of a lot of things lately. For once he manages to avoid overthinking it.
The message that he receives is longer than what he's used to getting from Ozpin, and appropriately enough it tells him a great deal.

The rest is actually easier to talk about. ]
