"Hey there! Yang here. Or... not here, as you probably figured out.
Anyway, leave me a message and I'll get back with you soon as I can. Later!"

[ It's their turn to exchange the briefest of glances as Yang turns her interest toward the handle on the door behind Weiss, to her side. Definitely a good idea they didn't have this discussion in the hall.

After both of Weiss's statements, Yang lets out two tiny tufts of dry laughter. ] Haah.

...hah, uhhm. [ There should probably be an apology in there somewhere, again, but honestly? She doesn't feel too sorry. She had that impulse, and acted on it, and for whatever reason Weiss had done the same. And. Technically, Weiss had started it. So, there???

Assigning blame for that just seemed to be a silly notion entirely. It made her feel momentarily like she was a kid. "She touched me first!" "She's on my side of the room again!"

The thought brings with it a chuckle. Yang drops her hand, to reveal a lopsided smile. ] I'm sorry for, uh. Morning mouth.

[usedglaciate]

[That's one of the last things Weiss was expecting to hear, and it's enough to make her laugh. She fully intended to apologize and leave, but instead, she manages an embarrassed smile.

Nobody had seen anything, and if this is the worst thing that happens all week, she's all right with it.]

N-no, you didn't. Not really.

[yanginthere]

[ Yes, this certainly was awkward, but all told things could have been much more so. ]

Heh. All right. Good. [ Good? Yang cleared her throat and settled that hand of hers on her hip. ] I mean, I've got an image to maintain, so it's good that it ... went smoothly. [ God, what was she saying? Things were fine before she went and opened her mouth a second time. She could have just. Let it go. ]

[usedglaciate]

[Weiss gives Yang a look that's a combination of a raised eyebrow and minor confusion.]

If we're talking about maintaining images, then I suppose mine must have just gone out the window. 'Ice Queen', indeed.

[There's no small amount of sarcasm in her voice.]

[yanginthere]

[ The implication that Yang was talking about her own skills in kissing may have gone over Weiss's head, judging from that look. Or she got it and blatantly set it aside. ]

Anyone who calls you that obviously doesn't know you. Not half as well as I do, that's for sure. [ Let's please forget, for the moment, that Yang used the exact same moniker for her, to her face, not that long ago. Because it seems Yang herself has certainly failed to recall that detail. ]

[usedglaciate]

[Oh, she got it, but it's been set aside.]

...you do realize you're one of the people who's called me that, right?

[Yang may not remember it, but Weiss certainly does.]

It's been a while, but still.

[yanginthere]

Oh. [ Said in that tone of "me?" before recognition kicks in. Then guilt. ]

Right. I didn't mean I thought you fit the bill or anything. It was just an, uh, example? [ Smile smile maybe it'll sound more convincing that way. Buying into other people's gossip was a bit of a problem with her but Weiss did shut Jaune down pretty hard that day. Week. Whatever. ]

[usedglaciate]

[Is it a day that ends in Y? Then there is a fairly high likelihood of Weiss shutting Jaune down hard.]

Sure. Right.

[She's just going to turn towards the door.]

[yanginthere]

[ Yang had been doing so well, despite everything else, right up until she decided to see what her own foot would taste like. Though she fires off her opinions quickly there is still more forethought put into them than she was exhibiting currently. She can't fully blame it on the earlier weirdness, but it wasn't helping neither.

And while Yang could have put this more eloquently, all that she can blurt out to reinforce her initial statement is: ] If someone said that about you now, I'd deck 'em.

[ She pounded her fist into a palm once, smirking. ] That goes double for me. [ What a strange admission of guilt. It's barely an apology. Though if her opinion of Weiss had not evolved for the better, that dating profile would have turned out a whole lot worse. ]

[usedglaciate]

I guess throwing myself at a volcano in the arena was enough to melt that persona?

[She's at least trying.]

You don't need to go that far. I really don't want to have to explain to everyone else that you gave yourself a black eye defending me from yourself.

[Weiss is well aware of that fact.]

Okay?

[yanginthere]

[ That comment about the volcano got a chuckle and a smile out of her. The act had meant a lot to her, of course, and not just because it had propelled her into the finals for the singles matches at the cost of Weiss's own participation... ] Heh. If you had tried any harder, it would have done a lot more than just thaw you out a bit.

[ Yang nodded. ] Okay, okay. I'll lay off the public embarrassment.

[usedglaciate]

Don't I know it. I'm lucky I didn't do more damage to my voice than I did, much less anything else.

[She still doesn't feel like her voice is back at 100%, but that's neither here nor there. It's not something she's going to bring up, at any rate.]

Good.

...things aren't going to be weird going forward, right?

[yanginthere]

It doesn't have to be. [ She rubbed the back of her head a moment, then shrugged. ] I mean, for starters, this place is weird enough as it is. We don't... have to add to that.

[ Yang closed one eye; she wasn't winking, she was actually rubbing at it since it was still early and she felt some gunk in the corner of it. ] Not like I'm going to go blab about this to anyone. [ No, not even Ruby. People don't have to know what went on in here this morning. Especially since the explanation for it is still out of her grasp. ]

[usedglaciate]

No, we don't. Definitely not.

[That's met with a smile, even if it is a little sheepish.]

Then that's a deal, right? Neither of us go making a big deal out of it or discussing it with anyone else.

[yanginthere]

[ Yang nodded once, sharply. ] Deal.

I'll see you — and everyone else — at breakfast later? I'm gonna go ahead and take my shower. [ The timing of which was not implicit of anything; she just always did it while everyone else prepared for their day, since she took quite a long time in there. ]

[usedglaciate]

All right. I'll see you later, then.

[She waves, then heads on out.]
