"Hi,  Jaune Arc here!  ...Except that, I'm actually not here right now.  Or  maybe I am and I just re-discovered decent comic books but I mean, I'm  probably not ignoring you.  So leave me a message.  Unless you were  trying to call someone else.  Then you should call them.  Smiley face."

Because there are some things I've been taught from birth and speaking properly is one of them. It isn't as though it's easy to overcome things like that overnight, try as I might with many of them.

[ "Unlearning" is sometimes just as important as learning, but far more difficult. ] If I thought such negative things about you, I don't think even my other half would've stuck around you or trusted you to leave me here. I mean what I said.

[ That's a difficult thing. ] I recognize them and I try to improve on those mistakes. But I don't think I'd ever consider doing the right thing a mistake, even if it didn't end the way I wanted it to.

[aurabble]

Properly. [He scoffs.] It doesn't matter how educated you sound, an insult is still an insult.

[He keeps staring, before finally his gaze strays to the ground.] Funny. Her and you had very different things to say.

She might forgive herself, but I doubt she'd forget me if I let anything happen to you. I can't do that. I can't let you leave. Not yet anyway. I'd offer to go with you, but... [Shrugs. They both know his track record of looking after friends.]

I know that, but it doesn't make it any easier to knock something I've had drilled into me since I was a child. That's why I said if that's who you are and how you want to speak, it's okay. But I did notice you only do it when you're angry or upset.

[ She watches him as his gaze turns away from her. ] What did she say?

[ Weiss doesn't like being told that he can't let her leave, a little concerned about that. ] What happens if I try to anyway? The Jaune I know wouldn't let someone saying no stop him, especially me.

Well, I'm certainly not upset now. I'm happier than I've been in... I don't know. Longer than I can remember.

That I'm an idiot who doesn't understand the meaning of the word "no". [He folds his arms, shoulders tense.] It doesn't matter now. I like you more.

[He finally looks back at her.] You're right. I have to keep you safe, Weiss. You might not be happy about it, you might even resent me, but I'm just asking you to trust me. It's better than the alternative.
