I'm super sure! Are you doubting that I could fend off Weiss? Me? Your loving big sister who changed your diapers and dropped you off at school? How could you betray me like this?
Ruby, you literally picked this kid up like he weighs a couple of grapes, took him to our backyard, had a really intense conversation, and you guys kinda held hands. That looks like a whole bunch to tell to me.
[ don't be like your sister and waste time, rubes. go! get! that! boy! ]
I can't help it if he's super light and having a rough time. Have you been watching this whole time!? YANG!? There's not. Really. Super normal stuff going on here.
I bring them up because you keep forgetting your sibling loyalty!!
Sorry, sorry! It's hard not to watch when a boy shows up in the middle of the night! So you'd do normal stuff like that with Jaune? You know, totally normal friendship stuff?
Tell him the chef is on it. Hopefully, he likes chicken noodle.
How am I supposed to be loyal when you hold bombs like that over me all the time!?
YANG We have TV, Yang. You could have been watching TV instead! No! Jaune would throw up all over the hammock and then I'd have to explain that you and we wouldn't have a hammock anymore. Do you want that, Yang? Do you want to not have a hammock anymore???
[Just deflect. Don't talk about any weird feeling stuff and she won't circle back to it. Right?]
Here's hoping. Who wouldn't like Yang's specialty chicken noodle soup? It comes right out of a can.
You guys were having a whole real life soap opera moment out there! It's way better than anything on TV! We could always buy a new hammock! Or we could make Jaune pay for another one! They're pretty cheap! It wouldn't be too bad!
[ ruby rose's dastardly plan to throw yang off the trail with a dumb sibling argument is working. somehow. ]
This soup's solved everything before! Just don't tell him the secret ingredient is an extra pinch of pepper. Otherwise, he'll blab.
There was no soap or opera involved. There could have been a good game show on TV! That's still a whole new hammock. Aren't you attached to the one that we've got?
[Phew. She's just gotta keep this up.]
It's been with us through thick and thin. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's a squealer. We don't need anyone losing any kneecaps for squealing.
What game show is going to live up to the drama of young love unfolding in real time? It's like Ninjas of Love but real! Sure, it's cozy, but I got it at the thrift store. There's about a dozen more where that one came from.
He won't lose any kneecaps tonight, anyway. Tomorrow? No promises.
I GOT BORED AT HOME WHILE RESTING UP AFTER BEACON OKAY IT WAS JUST THERE AND IT'S A GOOD TIME KILLER DO YOU KNOW THERE'S SEQUELS?!
If/when Weiss gets back, I'm going to show them this conversation so you know you love her as much as you love thrift store furniture. Then I'm going to record her reaction. Just so we have it on the record.
YEAH there's like 4 of them Sais of Passion, Star Crossed Shurikens, My Sweet Samurai, Slave to the Sword.... And oh, my gods, they're all really bad, but you can get through them pretty quick! I don't know how Blake can read them with a straight face.
I would and will do it! I'll make sure you're across town or something so you've got a good 20 minute headstart.
Oh my gosh. THOSE NAMES. They say it all. You know I had comic books in my room, right? You could have read those, right? I mean maybe Blake never actually read them? Maybe it was a clone the whole time and it was all a trick to get you into them?
I can already hear her saying "Ruby Rose" in the most weissiest way possible.
I've read your comic books like a thousand times. I needed something fresh! Something exciting! Something I only had to skim 20 pages to know the whole plot! No way, she totally read them. I can tell the clone from the real thing from a mile away.
"Ruby Rose, what's this supposed to mean?!" ....brrrrrr, it just got 20 degrees colder in here.
But you only just start to appreciate them when you start the 1001 time. ...But I guess that's okay. I should have bought you new ones before I left. But then I probably would have taken them with me. How do you do that? They look exactly the same??? What's the secret?
Oh gosh, I read that in her voice. It's handy in the summer by any other time of the year. No thanks.
You didn't have to buy me anything. Besides, going into town got me out of the house. Both me and Dad were pretty grateful for that. Blake and her clones have got their differences! However, I can't give any of them away. I've been sworn to secrecy by the Partner Oath.
Yeah, we can't do this in the winter. Otherwise, we'll turn into Weiss-icles.
Okay. Yeah. Being stuck in a house with Dad all day, every day would get kind of ridiculous. Zwei's cool but even he goes out for walks every now and again.
WOW. Partner Oath should not trump sister oath! I call shenanigans!
So you want me to stay right here and watch you make googly eyes at the boy? Got you covered, Ruby!
Well, you've made it apundantly clear you don't appreciate my elevated sense of humor. Guess they'll have to be expunged from our conversations which stinks since there's a pundle of them I haven't gotten to try out yet.

Are you sure about that???
We've played video games.
Fire is weak to water.
It's not tactical.
We're a team effort. We're both the best around.
No one's ever gonna keep us down.
???? What are you talking about? Sure.
There's not much to tell.
[Conceal. Don't feel.]

YANG THAT BOOK IS FILTH
WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS!
I can't believe we've been through thick and thin with this hammock and you just want to replace it. It's like family.
Okay. He said he'd rather lose his left leg if he had to choose. I asked ahead of time. He's attached to his right one.
