Catching up with her Knight, Weiss found him fiddling with the straps of his armor. She'd always wondered why he had bothered to keep it even after she offered to get him a new set after seeing how beat up it was upon arriving in Atlas. He'd managed to convince her how sentimental the armor was to him, but that didn't stop her from buying up every last Pumpkin Petes hoodie just for him, to which he begrudgingly agreed. Seeing as he wasn't getting any closer, Weiss decided to grab the leather strap and buckle and finish the job for him.
"Thanks" He said sheepishly.
"Under the watchful eyes of my father I always assumed I'd be helping straighten my boyfriends suit and tie, not his armor plating and hoodie" She said finishing the buckle "But this will do just fine" She said with a smile, putting her hands behind her back.
"So what are our plans for today?" He asked.
"I thought we were discussing those in the bedroom earlier? Or were you thinking of something else?" She asked coyly
Jaune grabbed Weiss's chin with his thumb and forefinger shaking it "Ha ha, very funny" He said letting go and strolling with her. "How could you know what I was thinking about unless you thought the exact same thing?" He asked.
Weiss could feel her ears heat up slightly "Dolt" she said.
"Aww you're cute when your mad" He teased causing Weiss to turn an embarrassing shade of red.
Jaune and Weiss walked the palace for a bit, buying time for Weiss to cool off and recollect herself. Jaune had gotten used to the rhythmic clacking of his hard boots against the floor before Weiss spoke.
"So what do we really want to do today, other than tease each other" She asked.
"Hey don't ask me, I'm just the bodyguard" He said shrugging
"That act may work on anyone else around her, but certainly not me" She stated
"Well there's a lot of things I want to do, including you, but having someone walk in on a kiss was bad enough" He stated, eliciting a sharp punch from Weiss.
"Glad to know teasing me is still on the list" She said.
"Oh that's the first one to get checked off on most days" Jaune said grinning slightly.
Just then Jaune's scroll buzzed in his pocket. Reaching and typing back quickly he seemed to have a slightly surprised face on. "How's going to the local Hunters outpost sound?" He asked, clearly hiding something.
"Sounds fine to me, why?" Weiss asked trying to figure out the boys schemes.
"No reason, no reason at all" He said.
"Jaune Arc, what are you hiding from me?" Weiss asked indignantly
"If I was hiding something you wouldn't even know because it would be on a high shelf somewhere, now let's get going" He said grabbing her and halfway dragging her out of the mansion doors.
Arriving at the Hunters outpost in the town, anyone would've thought it was just a three story hotel and bar scene, not a meet up and staging building for the toughest fighters mankind had ever trained. Compared against the brilliant whites and grays of Atlas, the old building looked a little more than out of place. Though the image on the outside portrayed a stark contrast to what lay inside. Inside those walls lay some of the most advanced technologies on Remnant, pair that with the multiple lifetimes of Hunter and Huntress knowledge that flowed through the walls with each person that visit, and you had one of the most unique buildings in the entire city of grays and whites to sit in. Not to mention the bar selection wasn't terrible either.
Weiss walked into the ruff looking building, drawing the attention of the many patrons of the building.
"This ain't a place for princesses" Said one of the older looking Huntsman standing up.
"You're right" Jaune said, stepping in behind Weiss "Now take a hike buddy."
The bar level of the building went deathly quite for a few seconds before sounds of laughter and cheering erupted. The man who'd called the girl out gave Jaune a pat on the shoulder and a slap on the back before walking out with his drink. Jaune had come to love the outpost, seeing that it was his and Weiss's escape from the confines of the mansion and upper class life. Jaune looked around at his second home, taking in all the stark contrasts to Atlas. The deep stained wood that lined the booths and made up the bar stools along with the rich red leather tacked onto the sets and the encompassing windows on the first floor allowing the room to flood with light from street level.
Weiss was busy talking with the bar tender and some patrons while Jaune grabbed them a corner booth. While Weiss was busy chatting, Jaune received another message from his conspirator.
"You two still there" The number asked.
"Of course, wouldn't miss this show for the world" He replied
"She doesn't know anything still. Does she?" The number pleaded
"Of course not" He replied back, shutting his scroll.
Weiss came back with two shallow glass cups of some dark liquid Jaune wasn't familiar with. Yet anyways. She sat down and scooted into the corner booth closer to him. Being in such a rough area, it was easy to convince people in the bar with the bodyguard ruse and thus was easier to be closer to Jaune.
"So, what exactly did you drag me here for?" Weiss asked.
"Correction, I didn't drag you, I pulled you." He said "And the reason I brought you here was because someone wanted to see you"
"And who might that be?" She asked, before she was cut off.
She could hear her before she could even see her.
Her name being shouted.
A gust of wind.
A streak of red, and suddenly a much smaller but faster weight collided with her own in the booth.
Weiss shot up ready to berate whoever it was that had embarrassed her, before she meet the silver puppy dog eyes of her former team leader.
