"They did what?!" Weiss bellowed. "Unbelievable! I bet they did it just to get out of work!"
"Come on Weiss, I'm sure they had a good enough reason to leave," Ruby hypothesised. "I mean, they just got married!"
They continued to stare at the note left in Blake's crumpled sheets.
Hey guys, me and kitty cat have decided to take
some time off. We've gone… traveling and should
be back in a few days. Don't worry, we already
cleared it with Ozpin. And don't wait up for us!
~Yang
"I, for one, think it's kinda cute." Ruby chuckled.
"No, Ruby, it isn't cute! Now we're stuck here without half our team and we still have assignments and missions that need to be done!"
"I wonder if Ozpin'll let us off them, seen as we're down two members…"
"We can't ask him to just let us off you dolt! It's our job as huntresses! We have to keep the Grimm populations around here low." Weiss retorted. She was obviously discontent with half her team running off and skipping school, as it meant she would have to do their work too.
"I was just wondering…" Ruby shrugged off the insult. "Well I'm happy for them, getting married and all."
"Yes, that's all good and well but it still doesn't give them an excuse to just run off like that!"
"Oh shoot we're gonna be late!" Ruby glanced up at the clock. "We can't be late! I hate that glare I get for being late!"
"Is that your only reason for not wanting to be late Ruby?" Weiss gave her a sideways look.
"No! Well, maybe…"
"Ugh you're so childish sometimes."
For the most part, the rest of their day was fairly ordinary, save a few questions as to Yang and Blake's mysterious disappearance. The duo simply relayed what they had read that morning, and it was met well by everyone. Everyone, except Weiss.
"I still can't believe they just left us like that…" She mumbled on the way back to their dormitory.
"Chill out, Weiss. She said they'd be back in a few days!" Ruby replied.
"That still doesn't excuse- Oh!" As they rounded a corner, Weiss ran right into Jaune, knocking them both to the ground. "Hey, watch where you're going next time!"
"Sorry!" Jaune stood up and offered Weiss a hand. She declined the offer and pulled herself to her feet. "So how's things without Blake and Yang around?"
"It's nice to have some peace and quiet," Ruby piped up before Weiss could say anything. "But it does get kinda boring sometimes. At least me and Weissy have some time to get to know each other, eh Weiss?" She nudged her teammate, and was rewarded with a glare.
"Well, enjoy your 'alone time' you two."
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!?" Weiss flared.
"Nothing, Nothing!" Jaune raised his hands in surrender, and backed away slightly. "See you two later then." He turned back down the corridor and went into his room. Ruby and Weiss followed suite, returning to their dorm.
