HEY GUYS. SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER . I promise its worth your time. Anyway, my friend's finally done with the chapter! And I'm gonna tell you. His writing is fucking amazing. I'm really impressed. Well. Not in that proud, "I'm higher than you that's why I'm impressed" kind of impressed but. Yeah. Woah he's good. So anyway. Before I start talking too much again, this chapter will be more focused on Terra and Weiss. So yeah. Hope you guys enjoy!
The voices of potential Hunters and Huntresses filled the air. Youngsters from all corners of the world, gathered in the hall, hoping to be future, successful, examples of the schools teachings. The heiress slowly walked through the large entrance, with her porters behind her, she gazed at her surroundings, it was as if she was in a trance. She turned with her whole body left and right, unlike her but she did it, moving forward with amazement, excitement and awe at the same time.
The Heiress stopped, "Okay you guys can leave the suitcases, I'll handle it from here," The Heiress said as she stopped twirling and turned to face her porters, in a swift motion.
Her porters looked at her, both worried and hesitant,"Uh you sure, kid? Uh I mean..Miss Schnee? Some of these bags are pretty heavy". The porter looked worried, even though it wasn't his job to care for the young girl. Just to pick up, carry and transfer bags. He was supposed to just follow orders and collect his money when the job was done.
"No, no, it's fine. I can handle them," She took out some money from one of her cases."Here", she gestured the large wad of cash towards the well dressed men, in other words porters." Your job's done. Take the money, you can go now." The heiress insisted that they take the money and go.
"Kid uh I mean Miss Schnee,...seriously", the porter said with much emphasis on the "seriously", gesturing towards the large trolley of suitcases behind him."These bags are really heavy...just let us take them to your room-".
"Please...just take the money and leave!", The Heiress interrupted mid-sentence,"Please just go... L-Look, people are already staring at me", the heiress said while looking at her surroundings with insecurity but still trying to look assertive at the same time. "I-I don't want people to see me like this... P-Please just take the money and go!" The Heiress was urging the porters, borderline begging them to accept payment and leave.
"Come on, man". Another one of the porters urged his fellow steward, placing his hand on his shoulder."Lets just do what she says...I mean if its what she wants..come on man, lets just take the money and get out of here." The worried steward took a short moment to think.
"Well okay kid...if that's whatcha want, I can't stop ya..its your money anyways." The porter replied nonchalantly, giving in to The Heiress' wishes, hesitantly and with caution. "Just be careful okay...these suitcases are really heavy!" Emphasising on the words, "really heavy".
"Okay I got it". The Heiress said, annoyed. "Don't worry, I got it!...Now just go!" The Heiress said it loudly, almost yelling. She tossed them the stack of cash and turned to pick up the suitcases.
"I hope you know whatcha doin kid." The porter said softly as he turned away from The Heiress and walked towards the exit of the hall. Walking away from the seventeen year old girl, trying to pick up heavy suitcases, all just to appear like a normal person, all to make friends. The porter guessed it was understandable to do things people wouldn't normally do to make friends, how they change for people's attention and acceptance. The porter could understand that.
"Hm. How hard could they be?" The Heiress asked herself, sounding rather arrogant. She reach down to grab the one bag that was on the ground and not on the trolley. As the Heiress pulled the suitcase up, she immediately felt the weight, which she was warned about, pulling her arms. The suitcase was barely off the ground.
"Okay...I guess that guy was right. These things are pretty heavy." The Heiress said to herself as she tried to hold onto the medium-sized, but heavy, suitcase. While trying to keep her balance at the same time. It wasn't working.
The Heiress was losing her balance. She was moving left and right, trying to reach an equilibrium. The weight would move from her left to her right. It was something out of a comedy skit. All the moving eventually led her to move back. The Heiress continued to move back, unbeknownst to her that the trolley, carrying the other suitcases, was right behind her. She continued to move, she didn't stop. She banged, back-first, right into the trolley, causing it to shake and causing the other suitcases to fall onto the ground, causing some of them to open and herself following them.
A group of boys saw everything, The Heiress' attempt to carry the suitcase, her attempt to balance herself while carrying it and the failure of her attempts which ultimately led to her knocking over her other suitcases, ending with everything and her being on the floor. The boys laughed, there was no empathy towards The Heiress. They just laughed at the misfortunes of a seventeen year old girl.
One of the boys, he appeared to be the "leader" of the group. He had burnt-orange hair that was combed backwards with a slight peak at the front and indigo eyes. He wore a silver-gray armor with gold trimmings. His chestplate sported a bird with its wings outstretched. Underneath the armor, he wore a black shirt with red trimmings and black pants with a red belt tied around his waist. He was also very tall, taller than most people his age. He stood at least a head above the rest of his friends. The boy was named, "Cardin Winchester."
The other boys, they weren't the most unique bunch of people but were different enough to tell them apart. One boy was a slim, average-height boy. He stood at the same height as all of his friends except for Cardin. His head is shaved with a light-green mohawk on the top of it and wore a hoodie with the sleeves cut off, and two bracers on his arms extending from the wrist to just below the elbow which had a silver-colored crescent design printed on it. Another one, had light-brown hair that was combed to the left. He kept his eyes closed to tiny slits and wore tan-colored armor with a belt that bears a dove on its buckle. The last one, had blue eyes and long dark-blue hair that was combed back and wore dark-gray armor with light-gray edges as well as vambraces of the same style.
The Heiress sat on the floor, face filled with red and bottom filled with blue and black. She face what was in front of her, but the angle of her eyes were towards the floor, refusing to see the onlookers of her embarrassing situation.
The Heiress let out a heavy sigh "Great way to start your first day Weiss." She said to herself sarcastically.
"Need some help?" Said a young man as he offered his hand to help the little lady up. His voice was familiar to The Heiress. His voice, worried and sincere, yet calm at the same time.
The Heiress looked up, to see who offered her their kindness. She looked up and to her surprise, the familiar voice she heard, it was that of Terra Excall. Her eyes widened, she took a small pause before saying with surprise,"Hey!" Feeling slightly even more embarrassed.
"Hey yourself." Terra said as he smiled towards The Heiress, to him, Weiss. "You need a hand?" Terra asked again, his hand still offered towards Weiss.
Weiss slowly took Terra's hand and he gently helped her up. While wiping some of the dust and dirt from her skirt, Weiss noticed the group of boys, Cardin and his friends, still laughing and making fun of her. She looked at them, giving them a look of anger and resentment and at the same time folding her arms, trying to hide her embarrassment.
The laughter of the Cardin and his friends came to an end when Cardin noticed Terra looking at them. Terra looked at Cardin and his friends, face filled with hostility and seriousness. Cardin's face immediately changed from a face full of laughter to a face full fear and caution.
"Come on guys, let's go somewhere else." Cardin said to his friends as they all slowly, cautiously backed away from the scene, turned around and walked away. Terra's face was all that was necessary to convey the message to Cardin and his friends that they should stop, telling them to back off, before something happened to them.
"Don't pay attention to those guys." Terra said, looking on as Cardin and his friends walk away. "They're just a just a bunch of assholes with nothing better to do". Weiss remained silent.
"You okay Miss Schnee?" Terra said, turning to face Weiss and asking her. Weiss looked down and stayed quiet, looking sad and embarrassed at herself.
"What's wrong?" Terra asked Weiss, voice filled with sincerity and worry.
"Great start I'm going through." Weiss said sarcastically, voice filled with sadness, taking a short pause. She turned around, kneeled down and started picking up the items which fell out of the suitcases. "Not even pass orientation, and I'm already running into problems." Weiss said as she angrily grabbed the items. "Whether it be arguing with an irresponsible girl with in a red hood, arguing with my 'porters'." Making quotations with her fingers as she said it and continued to pick the items. "Falling on my back, knocking all my bags...and now being laughed at by a bunch of jerks." Weiss angrily tossed on item after another into her suitcase, venting her anger.
Terra walked around to face her," Hey, come on." Terra said as he kneeled down on Weiss' left side, voice filled with reassurance. "You're doing fine." Terra tried to reassure Weiss. Weiss angrily threw a piece of her clothing that she picked up into the opened suitcase in front of her, folding her arms, hoping that what Terra had said was true. Maybe it wasn't so bad, maybe she's just focusing on the negatives than the positives. She took a small pause and looked at Terra, she gave Terra a look full of doubt in what he said, questioning whether it was true.
"Look you're just having," Terra took a pause to find a good way of summarising Weiss's situation.
"A rough start." Terra grabbed Weiss's suitcase.
"Let's just take a look at what we can take out to make this lighter...okay?" Weiss nodded slightly.
Before proceeding to organise Weiss's suitcase, Terra turned to Weiss,"Hey...you're not doing so bad...look on the positive side, your day isn't so bad. If you didn't know already, there was this one guy...he puked on the ride here." Weiss gave Terra a shocked look.
"Yeah I know right?!...Skinny guy, blonde hair, puked right onto the floor of the hovercraft we were on." Terra imitated the person vomiting, trying to be funny.
Weiss gave a small chuckle and smiled. "There it is, there's a smile." Terra said, smiling with Weiss.
"Well, I guess there's nothing we can take out of this." Terra said as he closed the suitcase, another failed attempt to try and make Weiss's suitcases lighter. Terra turned to face Weiss. "Sorry." Terra said while shrugging, looking at Weiss.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to try and push the cart." Weiss exclaimed, followed by a hefty sigh as Terra stood up.
"I got a better idea." Terra said after contemplating for a solution. Terra quickly approached the suitcases, intended on carrying them. Terra reached down, knees bent, arm outstretched.
"Hey wait they're-" before Weiss could caution him, Terra had already lifted up two suitcases, one in each hand. Terra lifted both suitcases with a heavy inhale and exhale. It wasn't easy for him, to carry two suitcases of that nature. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but I was still no small feat.
"-Heavy." Weiss finished her sentence with a face full of impression as well as shock and awe. "Wow...he's pretty strong, and I thought he was just for show." Weiss thought to herself and Terra walked over and placed the two suitcases onto the trolley. "Wow...you're stronger than you look." Weiss said to Terra, voice toned with impression.
Terra continued to move back and forth, picking up Weiss's suitcases. Each one with a deep inhale and exhale."Yeah well I'm sure that, thats the same case with you...Am I right?" Terra said just as he placed the last suitcase onto the trolley, looking at Weiss, one eyebrow lifted, trying to be cheeky.
"Of course it is." Weiss said, crossing her arms, giving a confident and assertive tone and pose. "I'm a Schnee, we Schnees are always the strongest." It was almost like she was trying to impress him.
"Hehe...right...of course you are." Terra said as he made sure the suitcases were properly stacked, humoring Weiss. "Okay then. They're all good." Terra said, finishing the check.
"Now what?" Weiss asked, taking a few steps forward closer to the trolley. "Its definitely going to be hard to push this."
Terra took a deep breath, outstretched his hand and brought his fingers together. All of a sudden, small stones suddenly appeared and placed themselves onto the trolley, beginning to cover it. It was like the trolley was a giant, strong magnet and the stones were small pieces of metal, all being drawn by the magnetic force that was the trolley.
The trolley was soon completely covered with small stones, with the exception of the suitcases, which were completely untouched. "How's he doing that? Its not possible-" Weiss thought to herself, face filled with surprise a second time, confused at how someone would be able to do such a thing, until she remembered,"-Oh right I forgot, he's an Excall. Excalls have a history with having semblances that control the elements. That's how he's able to do that. Hence his name, Terra."
"Okay now let's find a place for this." Terra said, looking at the the trolley, trying to concentrate. "Where to, princess?" Terra said, turning to Weiss.
Weiss looked at her surroundings, trying to find a place to leave her suitcases. She saw an opening, a space available, near the side of the hall. "Over there?" She pointed in the direction pf the space. She turned to Terra, to see if he was alright to move there.
Terra looked at Weiss. "Well...ladies first." Terra said, gesturing his head, in a gentleman-like fashion, for Weiss to move forward. Weiss started walking, Terra followed her suit. Weiss looked behind to see the trolley, being pulled by Terra, not with his strength, but with the little stones covered around it.
They cleared through the crowd, not exactly pushing but there was need for some physical persistence."Okay." Weiss said as she and Terra approached the wall with trolley following behind them. "I guess you can just leave the trolley over here." Weiss said, pointing to the wall.
"Okay sure, no problem." Terra said nonchalantly, moving the trolley against the wall. "Well, I guess that about solves that." Terra said proudly, wiping his hands.
"Okay you can go now." Weiss said in a rather high-and-mighty tone, gesturing her hand to tell Terra that he could go.
"Uh, hello?" The Earth-bender said, feeling neglected and unappreciated.
Weiss turned around. "What?" Weiss responded, not understanding why Terra reacted like that to what she said.
"Uh. Don't I get some kinda acknowledgement?!" Terra asked loudly, shrugging and raising his arms to further emphasise his anger.
"I did acknowledge you, by saying that you could go. " Weiss replied, rather arrogantly, trying to justify her action.
"Uh no no no no no." Terra responded, shaking his head and hands vigorously. He chuckled a bit to try and not take Weiss's words too hard. "I mean an actual acknowledgement. Y'know something like a simple *thank you* would be sufficient."
"Okay fine." Weiss said, conceding the argument before it could get worse. "Thank you." Weiss raised both hands, gesturing that he could stop arguing with her. "There, happy?"
"No I'm not." Terra exclaimed, not willing to accept Weiss's "attempt" at being "nice", chuckling as he said it to make the situation a little less serious. Terra said to Weiss in a friendly but serious tone, "Come on...I mean a real *thank you*. Weiss turned around, rolling her eyes as she did it, irritated. "Come on...try again, I know you can do it." Terra insisted Weiss give a proper thank you, to the much annoyance of her.
"Ugh!" Weiss groaned, turning around, angry and annoyed. "What's the point of saying thank you? When I've already given you an acknowledgement by acknowledging that you're here with me."
Terra looked at Weiss, one eye cocked up, questioning what she was said. "Wow...you really don't know how to handle people do you?" Terra said, in a somewhat condescending tone, but didn't mean for any bad intention.
"Excuse me?!" The Heiress bursted out, folding her arms in anger and shock. "What did you say?!" Returning to her more assertive and demanding person than a nervous and embarrassed one.
"You heard what I said." Terra responded, putting his hands on his waist. He walked a few steps towards Weiss. "You, Miss Schnee," Terra looked Weiss dared in the face, attempting to be as frank as possible. "-are horrible with people."
"Ugh!" Weiss became even angrier at Terra. You could see the look in her eyes. Those eyes, beautiful yet menacing and intimidating. "How dare you!?"
"You can't stop me from saying the truth." Terra said, trying to justify what he said, in a professional tone, not trying to bring any emotion into the situation. "Get angry with me if you want but I'm just saying this so you can try to understand, maybe be a little nicer to people and maybe handle people better, thats all." Terra said, raising his hands in a defensive pose, to emphasise him supporting his motive and showing to Weiss that it's not personal and just a matter of his morals. Some of which he too sometimes breaks in times of weakness.
"I'm perfectly fine with handling people." Weiss declared, trying to argue against Terra's claim. Her arms folded, she said it rather confidently, confident that Terra was wrong and confident in her skills in handling people.
"Really?" Terra asked in disbelief, one eye cocked up. Terra thought to himself that maybe he should let The Heiress see for herself. "Okay then Miss Schnee, let's see you and your people skills in action." Terra looked at Weiss, confidently, challenging her to put her money where her mouth was and display her so called "people skills".
"What?" The Heiress responded, pretending to be confused and not understand what Terra meant.
"You see that guy over there?" Terra said as he pointed at a fellow hunter in training. Terra didn't want to make it too hard for Weiss, so he picked the seemingly less intimidating looking person that was among his vision, or maybe that was the other way around.
The hunter Terra chose didn't look like the brightest banana in the bunch but, he looked decent enough to have someone approach him and not be completely terrified. The hunter in training looked muscular, though it was hard to tell with his blue jacket covering him, but the broadness of his shoulders gave it away. He had his arms folded, probably just looking at surroundings, taking it all in. Understandable, we all had our little moments to live in. His skinned was slightly tanned, brownish, looked like a piece caramel candy, though that may be an exaggeration.
By his feet were two luggage bags, though it was obvious that the second one wasn't his. To his left, next to him, was a girl with bunny ears. She was cheerful, jumpy, kinda the opposite of what he was, serious, motivated, kinda scary. The bunny girl was hugging him and laughing. The Hunter would occasionally laugh with her too. So to Terra, it was safe for him to assume that the bunny eared girl was the hunter's girlfriend. It was no surprise, opposites usually attract. Terra wondered if that would be the same case for him, would he find a girl that was the opposite of him. Though only time could tell.
There was also another girl, another faunus next to the hunter in training. She wasn't as perky and cheerful as the bunny eared one, nor was she even the same species of faunus, but she looked similar to the bunny eared girl in certain ways. While the bunny eared girl and her boyfriend chatted and laughed, the cat faunus , with glasses, stood there reading a book. She was pretty in her own right, in the intellectual, smart-girl type of way. She did look like the type of person who would be a straight A student. Leaving everyone in the dust, but at the same time, wouldn't have much time for fun, nor would she want to, if she even knows what that is.
"Go over to him and say one nice thing about him. Could be anything about him, hair, eye colour, the way he looks, the way he smells, the way he sparkles in the sunlight, anything." Terra instructed Weiss.
He was eager to see Weiss attempt to talk to the hunter in training. The thought of Weiss talking to the hunter and failing made the Earth-Bender smile. Even though it seemed like Terra just wanted to watch the Heiress embarrass herself even more, that wasn't his true intention. He wanted to help the Heiress. There was something about her, something about the Heiress that made Terra feel like he wanted to keep her safe and in good character. He was drawn to the Heiress, like a fly drawn to a bug zapper. Though he hoped that the end result wouldn't be similar to that of a fly to a bug zapper, metaphorically and literally.
Weiss looked at Terra with disbelief. "You can't be serious?" Weiss asked, putting her hand on her waist and leaning her head to her left side.
Terra saw this coming. He knew the Heiress would try and use excuses to get out of the challenge. Though she was right, there was no real point to her doing it. Terra just wanted to mess around with The Heiress.
"Come on...what's there to worry about? A beautiful girl like you coming towards a guy like him. He'd be thanking the lord for granting him a beautiful girl to talk to, if he wasn't already taken." Terra said, trying to reassure Weiss and at the same time squeezing in a small complement for The Heiress. He gestured his hand as he tried to reassure her, gesturing to all of her and then to all of the hunter.
"Ugh!" The Heiress said as she threw a small fit. She was extremely reluctant to go over to him. Reasons could vary, from not wanting to give Terra the satisfaction, to just plainly not wanting to go. "Why is he making me do this? I really don't want to go over there." The Heiress thought to herself, feeling pressured. On one hand, she didn't want to look wrong in front of Terra and on the other, she didn't want to embarrass herself again.
"That guy looks scary. Ugh! What's the point of all thi-wait did he just call me beautiful?" Her thoughts paralleled the words coming from her mouth, "This is ridiculous! You don't honestly expect me to go over there and pay him a complement which has no real poi-"
The Heiress stopped midway through her sentence, as she did in her thought. The following motions of her all happened in a flash. Her eyes widened, realizing what Terra had said, slightly blushing, she could feel the redness in her cheeks rising to high levels. She tried her best to hide it, and she managed to, though she could still feel her heart pumping, surprised she even had one.
Weiss looked at Terra, giving him a fascinated and curious look. She was anxious, you could tell by the sound of her voice. What Terra had said clearly affected her. Whether it had affected her positively or negatively was yet to be known. "D-did you just call me beautifu-"
"Look the guy's girlfriend and the other girl are going off somewhere, now's your chance. Go, go!" Terra quickly interrupted, purposefully drawing her attention from his complement, pointing towards the hunter.
Weiss turned back around to face the hunter in training. She was hesitant, she approached him with small steps, clearly showing her reluctance and anxiety. She slowly approached the hunter, "Uh...hello."
"Hi..." the hunter replied Weiss as he turned around and gave her a quizzical look.
Everything in his surroundings slowed down in his mind. His mind focused most of its power to find the reason why The Heiress approached him. The hunter in training looked at The heiress with curiosity and confusion, wondering why a random person would suddenly approach and try to engage in communications with him.
"Does she like me?" The hunter thought to himself, though that wouldn't make sense since they hadn't even met before. "That can't be it. I've never even met her before." That was one among the many reasons he had thought of. Everything in his mind came and went within a flash. In between fractions of time.
"I'll just keep it cool." The hunter thought to himself as he left his own world and back to the real one. Time returned back to normal as he "re-entered" the real world.
"Yeah...hi. The guy behind asked me to come over here and talk to you." The Heiress explained as she pointed vaguely towards Terra. "Well...specifically to come over here and..." She took a big sigh before continuing her sentence. "complement you."
"Okay..." The hunter said, one eyebrow cocked, looking at Weiss like she was a couple of cards short of a full deck. Wondering why someone would do that and why she would allow herself to do that which was against her preference.
"Yeah...so..., I'm supposed to pay you a compliment." Weiss said awkwardly, playing with her hands. Both her and the hunter looked at each other, waiting for either one of them to continue the, already cringe-worthy, conversation.
"What's your name?" The hunter asked Weiss in a casual, friendly tone, trying to break the silence, and the ice.
The Heiress scoffed and folded her arms as she did. "You should know who I am." The Heiress stated in her usual confident and arrogant way, thinking that her identity was was obvious.
"Uh...actually, no I don't." The hunter replied, truthfully not recognising the identity of the girl he is communicating with.
The Heiress scoffed a second time. "You can't be serious." The Heiress said in a complacent tone.
"Sorry. I don't try to learn the names of people I've never met." The hunter replied, trying to be funny.
"Ugh, I can't believe this!" Weiss exclaimed absurdly, full of shock. "I should get the recognition I deserve!" Weiss exclaimed arrogantly, as she usually does, folding her arms.
"Well sorry." Skar replied, shrugging as he said it.
The Heiress sighed as she rubbed her temple, giving up on trying to use her social status to her advantage. "It's Weiss, Weiss Schnee."
The hunter nodded, acknowledging her. "Skar." The hunter said, out stretching his hand for a formal handshake. Weiss took a pause and was hesitant but she finally shook his hand.
"So who's uh...who's the guy that asked you to come here?" Skar asked as he moved his head to look behind Weiss, trying to find a guy that looked ridiculous enough to send her over here just to pay someone a compliment.
"Oh its...that guy, over there." Weiss said casually, pointing vaguely at Terra again.
"Guy over where?" Skar asked, still moving his head to see behind Weiss.
"The handsome one, the one wearing the fedora." Weiss said, surprisingly without a hint of irony, pointing in Terra's direction.
"And why are you doing this anyways?" Skar questioned Weiss, cocking one eye.
"Well its because the guy over there decided had the audacity to say that I didn't know how to handle people...and I begged to differ." Weiss explained to Skar, fairly angry as she did it, folding her arms. "So he finally decided to challenge me to do this...which I think is a complete waste of time."
"Oh, so you're doing this to appease your boyfriend?" Skar asked, not trying to be funny but genuinely asking due to his assumptions about Weiss and Terra.
Weiss scoffed. She laughed, not out of comedy, but out of absurdity...and out of embarrassment. You could hear the nervousness in her laughter.
"No. He is NOT my boyfriend." Weiss stated defensively, acting casual, trying not to feel embarrassed and also trying not to let her cheeks reach all kinds of red. She smiled trying to act nicer and also trying to hide what her face truly wanted to show, a face of embarrassment.
"But you guys are dating right? Skar asked, Trying to get something out of the Heiress.
"No, we're not dating." The Heiress stated defensively again. This time with a tone of much urging.
"But you want to be, right?" Skar asked, somewhat interrogating her.
"N-...no. No I don't want to date him." Weiss said assertively and somewhat defensively.
"You hesitated there." Skar said, questioning the reliability of her defense.
"No I didn't." Weiss claimed. In an argumentative tone. Folding her arms.
"Uh...yeah, you did." Skar argued back.
"No, I didn't." Weiss argued further, increasing her emphasis on her words.
"Yeah, you did!" Skar replied with enthusiasm equal to, maybe even more than, that of Weiss.
"Well you hesitated too!" The Heiress stated, hoping that her statement would gain her victory in that one sided argument.
"Well that's just how I talk." Skar retorted, in an argumentative and defensive tone, similar to Weiss's when she was talking to Terra.
Weiss paused for a short time, speechless, looking at Skar. She tried to find words to reply with. She soon just repeated the same thing she said in the beginning, this time without hesitation, "No...I don't want to date him!" She looked at Skar, face full of seriousness.
"Really?" Skar looked at Weiss cheekily, one eye cocked.
"Oh my word! I, I just met him 15 minutes ago!" The Heiress exclaimed, in an argumentative and defensive tone. Clearly irritated by the constant barrage of incredibly embarrassing and personal questions?
"The heart wants what the heart wants." Skar said romantically, trying to be funny this time around.
Weiss groaned, putting her right hand on her face and her left hand on her waist. She groaned out of irritation. She figured it was no use making sense to Skar. Weiss's irritation caused Skar to chuckle, not at her, but at the situation she was in.
"Look, I'm not here to argue about my personal life and who I date. I'm just here to pay you a compliment and go." Weiss stated angrily. Urging Skar to just stop arguing about her personal life and just let her complete her pointless, and albeit troublesome, task.
"So let me hear it." Skar replied, somewhat challenging Weiss to pay him a compliment, doubting that she could do it. He gestured Weiss towards him, implying her to pay him the compliment.
"Okay then..." Weiss said as she scanned Skar...looking for something to compliment. "Uhhhhhhh...let's see...uhhhhhh..." Weiss pondered for a while, looking head to toe at Skar for something. It actually wasn't that hard, though for someone like Weiss, we can imagine the difficulty.
"Come on, it ain't that hard." Skar urged Weiss to hurry. Somewhat pestering her.
"Just give me a minute!" Weiss suddenly said, rather loudly, snapping at Skar the second he said something. "Its harder than you think! So don't break my concentration!" Weiss exclaimed, ordering Skar to silence himself.
"You have nice shoes?" Weiss said, in an unconfident, awkward and all around unsure of herself tone. It was much less of a compliment and more of a question. The Heiress was not in her natural element. Obviously paying people compliments were not in her nature.
"Okay thanks." Skar said, accepting Weiss's attempt at complimenting him. Smiling as he did it, though you could clearly see that he was rather disappointed.
Weiss's eyes widened. "Really? It worked?" Weiss asked in shock, surprised that her, somewhat effortless, attempt was accepted.
"Yeah it worked." Skar said, unimpressed with Weiss's attempt.
"It didn't even think it sounded like a compliment." Weiss stated, eyes still opened wide.
"Well to be honest you said it more like a question than a compliment but, I can tell that paying people compliments aren't your strong suit so, I'll take it." Skar said, disappointed.
"Frankly, I don't even think it matters whether I accept it or not. I mean, technically, you're boyfriend over there said to just come over here, pay me a compliment and go. He didn't say that I had to accept it." Skar explained.
"Huh..." Weiss said, smiling and folding her arms, satisfied with herself. Her arm position quickly changes to it be on her chin in a contemplating fashion as she says, "Yeah you're right, it doesn't really matter if you accept it or not. That makes it much easier for me.-he's not my boyfriend!" Weiss said in one quick, fluid, transition from being impressed and satisfied to angry and annoyed...again.
