Disclaimer: Guess what? I own nothing in here. Big shock, I'm sure.
So I found some comic art illustrating this scenario, and I couldn't help myself. I laughed my ass off when I saw this. So I thought to myself that in the spirit of the holidays, I would share with as many people as possible. It's nowhere near the length of anything in Bloody Arc; shameless plug, I know.
Summary: Taiyang isn't the only member of his family with horrible taste in jokes.

The now officially named team RNJR left the village that hired them to kill a Geist. The payment for said job was Jaune's upgrades in weapons and armor, both practical and aesthetic. Ruby had to admit; he cut a much more striking, confident figure.
As they walked down the road, the village behind them now gone from sight, Ruby got bored and walked up next to Jaune. "It's really sweet that you merged Pyrrha's armor with yours."
"You think so?" He asked, voice tinged with emotion both happy and not.

"Even in death, she's still all over you." In their time at Beacon Academy, even she noticed the late Spartan's feelings for the dorky knight. She kept walking with a small, tinkling giggle from nostalgia, but her companions had stopped. Turning around, their reactions were not what she had expected. Ren was as taciturn as ever, but having travelled with him for so long, she noticed his eyes were slightly widened at the unexpected attempt at humor.
His opposite, on the other hand, stared open mouthed in shock, silently screaming 'what the hell is wrong with you', with many, many exclamation points. Nora's gaze shifted back and forth between Jaune and her. Speaking of which, his face looed frozen similarly to Nora's, but with far more horror and despair before his once proud posture slumped to what it had been for most of their journey outside of battle.
She didn't really understand why. It wasn't that bad of a joke. She heard stuff like that all the time at home. "What, too soon?"
