[Video: Locked from Sun]
I've....only read about them but- as unorthodox as this may be given times of crisis are amidst, I'm afraid I have to ask. What exactly happens on dates? Is there- a dress code like our school dance?

It's odd to ask such a question but- I've never exactly been on one before so I want to make sure I do this date thing right.

Thus far my endeavors in the library haven't really given me much to go by. There are still many more books to shuffle through but at least I'm able to read them.

I met a young boy named Luke who is here alone. Weiss, Yang, I hope you don't mind that I offered him to stay with us should he ever feel scared or alone. I wouldn't be right to leave him on his own...

Sun, would it be alright if he stayed with you on some nights? Only when he'd want to with your permission, of course. I'd be very grateful for any answer you can provide.

There's still much more research to be done. [Giving a small sigh, she rubs her eyes but thankfully they're not as dark and red as when she was fully suffering from her insomnia of stress.]

[ Weiss is pretty sure that Blake has gone from 0 to 60 here. Dates and adopting a kid. Give her a few seconds to process this. ]

For the date, if it's with who I'm suspecting it will be, he's probably going to wear the same thing he always does but you're going to want to dress up at least a little.

As for the boy, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with you going around pseudo-adopting strange children. [ Weiss is going to take a little convincing when it comes to picking up every homeless kid they meet. ]

I guess I don't mind that? It's what he's obviously comfortable the most in but in everything I've ever read, usually the girl dresses up rather nicely? I'm not sure if it still applies or if that's outdated.

It was only a pseudo-adoption. He was in the library one of the nights I went and he was all alone. But- [Shuffles through her stuff and takes out a hand drawn map of the areas.] He provided me with this. One he drew himself exactly like another he got from a Satsuki.

No, it definitely still applies. But the point is, if it's Sun then you don't have to go all-out for the first date unless he's taking you to a 5-star restaurant. I'd say something simple but cute, and maybe pin your hair back.

[ Blake looked best with her hair down, but if she pinned it back then Sun would be able to see more of her face and neck, which read as open and receptive during a date. ] And you can't bring your weapon because if you two are going sparring on the first date, then it's not a real date.

[ Later dates sure, first date? No. Who knows when Weiss became an expert on dating, honestly, she probably just feels like she is because she is dating someone... but with that came her ability to make it sound like she had authority on things even when she probably didn't. ]

He knows Satsuki? [ And she was giving him things. That bode at least a little well. ] Well.. I'm not agreeing to anything unless I meet him first, but I won't rule it out completely. [ Blake's her friend, she'll at least give the kid a chance. ]

I- honestly have no idea what he's planning. I think he said something about a place called- Tokyo? Which- for me that doesn't have much meaning, I'm afraid. The thought's still rather flattering.

[Listening, she blinks and looks down at her hair ends that she touches curiously. Tie it back?] What- about my bow?

[Dropping her strands, she nods.] Yes, he seems very knowledgeable already for someone who has arrived around the same time as I have. Of course I'll do an introduction. He's quite the little gentleman.

He must have found something really good in that archway if he wants to take you there.

[ Weiss went with him to the archway once, though it was definitely not a date and it mostly involved trying not to fall off of Tokyo Tower, bickering, and being hungry. ]

For the bow you have two options. One: you can just use bobbypins and keep the bow on, since the pins won't detract from your bow but will still keep your hair out of your face. Or two: You can just skip the bow since you're going to be in a place where no one even recognizes you and they've never heard of faunus, like 95% of the people here. [ Which is why she locked it from more than just Sun now, just in case Blake didn't think it was a good idea. ]

I'm not making any promises, but I'll meet him before I say no.

[Furrows her brows and thinks more and more on that. Could it even be that simple to comprehend anymore?]

I'm so used to having to hide them, to having to hide what I am or be seen as something less than what I really am. It's been nearly a lifelong paranoia but- could it really be so simple to realize that those oppressions don't happen here?

This is the only life we've known. Will people here really accept it? [Glances up towards her camera to her friend.]

You'd probably have to ask Sun to be sure.

[ Weiss decides to elaborate on that, since she knows it sounds like she's dismissing it, but she's not. ]

I'm not going to say there's absolutely none since I don't have the personal experience to know for sure, but from what I've seen no one's been treating Sun differently because of it. If anyone's treating Adam poorly here, it probably has to do with his personality more than his horns.

[Looks down in thought, weighing the options along with her teammate's words.]

Well, as a Bull Faunus he is rather stubborn.

But- maybe Sun would like it more if I went--"naturally".

I'm sure he'll like it either way. I was just saying you should keep your hair out of your face.

[ She pauses. ] Do you want me to find out what his favorite color is? Even if you wear black and white like usual, you can accent with whatever it is.

[ Or she can find Sun and make him dress up. That's also an option... ]

Alright alright, I'll try that.

Mm? His favorite color? If you think you can get it out of him, sure. Pretty sure whatever he wears will include an open shirt of some kind.

Not that it's bad.

Leave all of that to me.

[ Admittedly, it sounded somewhat ominous, but her plan to invade Sun's home to make sure that he was dressing appropriately for a date wasn't something Blake needed to know about until after she could thank her for it. ]

Blue and red.

Go with a dark blue accessory.

Huh, considering that sounds more like you should be going on a date with him than me, color wise.

Thankfully, there's a lot more to dating someone than color coordination.

(I think he just looked at his wrists and pants and picked the first two colors he saw.)

I wouldn't hold it past or blame them I guess. Black isn't exactly imaginative. I'll keep those in mind though.

Black and white are both incredibly classy.

Gotta go, Sun is trying to spy my phone. Later!
