If only Ozpin could see them now

Who: Jaune Arc & Weiss Schnee
Where: The Tavern
When: December 27th
What: Jaune and Weiss take a little trip to a place they never thought they'd go.
Warnings: Tipsy teenagers = PG13 ...but mostly PG.
Style: We know what we're doing.
Status: Closed


[so. in the midst of them still getting their ship and crew situation all worked out, jaune wanted to explore a bit more. he had mostly been in town, down at the docks, all over the place in all honesty. however there was one spot he wanted to check out, but he didn't want to go alone.

the tavern.

they were underage back in remnant, but here maybe it wasn't the case. not like jaune had ever had a drink before in his life, but he still wanted to see what it was like nonetheless! he would have asked ruby to go with him, seeing as how they were pretty close friends, but weiss was a little older. besides, he liked spending time with her, he still had a thing for the heiress after all.]


It won't be that bad Weiss!

[jaune gestured at the tavern in front of them, seeing as how they had yet to walk in.]

So stop worrying!

You just don't work as hard as I do! Which is completely changey- changeable, Jaune! Completely!
whiteas: (Look you.)

Just where do you think talent comes from anyway?! I didn't just wake up one day and decide I was good at this!

[ Even if she is really good at it, but this is time for drunken encouragement speeches! ]

Jaune, you might suck at a lot of things. You might even just plain suck sometimes. But if you work harder and you get the right direction, then you too can not... completely suck at everything!
whiteas: (Pissy.)

You--

[ Weiss considered herself to be a fairly reasonable person. She accepted Ruby as leader, she's trying her best to be a better team player, and she's put the situation with Blake behind her. She's even trying not to judge all faunuses just because they're faunus. Those are all things that involve other people still being decent people and her ideas being wrong fundamentally when it came down to it.

There was nothing in her that thought she was wrong about this though. The idea that someone she was supposed to trust had lied and cheated on what she had worked so hard on-- hard enough that she even got a scar despite knowing how to use her aura-- had just skipped ahead and got to a higher place than she had been as a leader was painful. That he was not only a leader and in the same school was bad enough, but he still had only just barely even thought about putting the effort in to get better before they'd ended up here. That... wasn't something she could abide.

Every part of her was screaming to punch him in the face and a bit too much alcohol with that.. well, Weiss wouldn't be finishing her pint. She'd be throwing it at Jaune's head before standing up to stomp off, stopping only to turn around and glare at him. ]


When we get back, I'm reporting you to the headmaster. Ruby got in because she had talent, even if she skipped ahead and has no idea what she's doing, and Professor Ozpin just happened to see her, but at least she didn't cheat. You are just a pretender and-- and I don't like you! I definitely don't trust you!
whiteas: (That sounds like a load of shit.)

[ Luckily for Jaune, she was having a bit of trouble with her balance so she hadn't gotten too far. Her "storm out" was more like a "light rain" out since she didn't want to fall over. When he started talking about explaining, she spun around again, putting a hand on a nearby support beam in the tavern to keep herself steady. ]

What could you possibly say that you think will make it up? Every single person at Beacon worked so hard that it nearly killed some of us to get in. Everyone but you.

[ She's this far away from telling him about his little 'win' against that Ursa. Weiss hadn't planned on telling him, ever, but that was when she thought he just needed confidence to get in the right direction. Apparently he needed integrity a lot more than he needed confidence. ]
whiteas: (I can't stand by this.)

[ Weiss listened while he spoke, keeping quiet as he went on about Cardin and Pyrrha and his big hardships in getting blackmailed for his own bad behavior. While Cardin was definitely in the wrong, Weiss didn't think that Jaune was undeserving.

Instead of coming up with some big long argument, Weiss only replied with a simple statement. ]


If you want to be a friend or a hero or even a leader, people have to be able to trust you.

[ She's going to turn to try to walk away again. ]
