[ Another 2-6 AM shift down, Jaune can be seen disembarking the bus that came from the Pleasure District. He's wearing a suit, although he looks fairly unkept and tired from working all night, complete with a half untucked shirt and a loose tie. When you do what you do several times on a night, let alone a week, you kind of stop caring about how you're presenting yourself. All everyone seems to care about is what's underneath the clothes, don't they? And sure enough, they'll be coming off again soon.

The sun has already come up on his hour-long ride home, which means the residents, including Pyrrha, should be waking up to start their day soon. All he had to do was walk a few more blocks to reach his apartment, sneak inside and catch some sleep until noon. It's as much a routine as it is with what he does at work by now.

With his remaining (yet slowly fading) determination, he starts pressing his feet against the pavement, slowly one at a time. ]

[ He gulps when she makes herself clear… why is he such a pushover?! But she seems determined to go either way, and he would rather she not wind up as a pole dancer… because somehow that’s what Jaune imagines would happen to her if she goes on her own.

Weiss as a pole dancer…

Ack!! He quickly shakes off his thoughts before they get out of hand. ]

Alright… I don’t know why you’d wanna see where I work, but… at least stay near me so they don’t think you’re alone.

[ she's hardly a damsel in distress, jaune (let's not forget whose scores are better than yours in, oh, just about everything), but she seems too impatient to even throw out that little remark. ]

I don't see your feet moving, Jaune Arc.

[ Ah, but who displayed finer leadership, Weiss?? ]

I don't either... [ You know, because of all the textbooks he's awkwardly carrying. He does, however, begin to drag himself back to the bus stop. He promised himself that he wouldn't mess up this friendship, and by some miracle she's still talking to him after all this... perhaps it would be best to keep his mouth shut for the rest of this trip.

More than that, once they're on the bus, maybe he can even shut his eyes for a little. That would be nice. ]

[ the bus ride is a painfully long one. weiss can feel her anger continue to boil the longer it goes on, realizing just how difficult it must have been for jaune to make this trip day in and day out.

jaune arc, you absolute idiot.

to her credit, though, she keeps her anger to herself. and though she never once glances towards the boy sitting beside her, she is noticeably quiet the entire ride there. as if someone aware of his droopy, sleepy head. ]
