WHO: Weiss Schnee & Sun Wukong.
WHAT: Sun visits Weiss at work while they're both depressed about half of Weiss's team going home. They're going to have some friendship.
WHEN: Sometime in the afternoon on Sunday
WHERE: Geraldi's Pizzeria
WARNINGS: Weiss being Weiss, Sun's abs being incapable of being covered for more than 20 minutes without the shirt literally catching on fire. Those are both things that need warnings right?

[ Honestly? Weiss had not been having a good day. Or week. But she wasn't about to admit that she was depressed just because two of her best friends and teammates who tended not to admit they were actually friends but she knew better had disappeared. They weren't here anymore, that was for sure, and honestly? Even with Yang still in the apartment it felt.. empty. Lonely, even. And yes, certain things had been going pretty well, like getting to go on a date and that party she threw a bit ago had pretty fair success, but it didn't really make Ruby and Blake being gone better.

Neither did not getting anywhere near as many tips as usual because she was being kind of a snippy waitress because of her mood. Sure, she was still doing everything perfectly, but as usual it was her attitude that was getting in the way.

Weiss took a deep breath and let her coworkers know that she was taking her break, then headed outside to just outside the side of the building for a moment. She knew how to fake this no matter what mood she was in, she just hadn't had to in so long that it was a little harder than it used to be. Since she was off on the side of the building, she figured no one was looking and started pacing back and forth while she tried to force herself to smile. Which one said "excellent customer service" and not "Ruby and Blake are gone and that was roughly 50% of the people who considered me a friend" best..? Definitely not the first two. ]

It's fresh and moist, but it'll be warm when you get it so if you order a la mode, make sure you eat the ice cream fast or it'll just end up a pile of mush. It's also more on the heavy and rich side than the light and fluffy side, so a small slice goes a long way.

[ Which she supposes some people like, but when she says it, it sounds more like a critique. ]

[monkeystowaway]

I'll take the cake, then. I think that's a good way to top off a delicious meal.

[whiteas]

With the ice cream, right?

[ She doesn't need to scribble it down, but she does just in case. Very neatly. ]

[monkeystowaway]

With ice cream. Vanilla ice cream, if you all have it.

[whiteas]

Of course we have it!

[ She's looking at him like he's crazy for even thinking they wouldn't. She turns then and heads back to the kitchen to go get some cake for him. ]

[monkeystowaway]

[They could have been out. He didn't know how much of it they kept in stock. He sips on his water while waiting.]

[whiteas]

[ She brings him a plate with a nice scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a slice of chocolate cake, ready for the eating. She brings him a couple of extra napkins too, in case he makes a mess. ]

There you go.

[monkeystowaway]

[Pft. He's no messy eater.] So how much longer is your shift?

[He immediately digs in.]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss doesn't particularly take care to watch his eating habits at all hours. Especially since she usually sees him eating fruit anyway.

Either way, Weiss takes her scroll out briefly to check the time. ]

I've got about 55 minutes left. [ And she's putting it back away. ] Why?

[monkeystowaway]

Just wanted to know so I could decide if I was going to hangout here and wait for you to get off or not. [55 minutes wasn't all that long.]

[whiteas]

Are you?

[ Weiss wasn't objecting, at least. ]

[monkeystowaway]

Yeah, I think I will. I don't have anything else to do anyway. Unless you are ready to throw me out. [He noms on the food some more.]

[whiteas]

I have some books in the back if you want me to bring them out.

[ Textbooks, but hey. It's permission to stay. ]

[monkeystowaway]

What kind of books? [He noms on a little more of his dessert, already finished with the ice cream that was on it.]

[whiteas]

A Chinese beginners book or an economics book.

[ It isn't like she carries a library with her, after all. ]

[monkeystowaway]

I think I would rather sit here and read the menu over reading that.

[whiteas]

What sort of things would you read?

[monkeystowaway]

Something more entertaining than a book about economics. Maybe something with some action in it, something that could at least hold my attention rather than put me to sleep.

[whiteas]

You mean like the novels Blake read?

[ They lived in the same room at Beacon, she's seen some of them before. She won't mention the titles of.. some of them. ]

Ninjas of Love or that one about the man with two souls?
