[ Sorry Jaune. They'll have to get to blowouts (and, despite her sass when she first got to Beacon, getting her nails done) later. Because that's kind of huge. Before she says anything about it, he's already taken the words out of her mouth- that he put everyone in danger, that he cheated and was being stupid and didn't realize what it meant. He recognized what he did wrong instead of just expecting her to be okay with it. it took her a while to respond. After he got through that strange 'friendship' with Cardin he had for a little while, he seemed to have buckled down on improving and by the tournament, he'd been good enough that Weiss had even noticed he could hold his own. ]

I can see why you didn't tell me back home. I would've had you expelled within a day.

[ That doesn't sound encouraging. But she continues before he can say anything else. ]

Most of us have done things in the past that aren't exactly.. acceptable, Jaune. I spent an entire day trying to convince Blake that Faunus were garbage people who belonged in trash cans when we first met Sun because I grew up blaming the Faunus for everything I'd been through with my father. Blake has her own past that's not my place to speak about. Zuko, back when he was here, did a lot of terrible things to entire nations and families before he realized he was wrong. Ruby used to eat cookies in bed then sweep them off onto my bunk and not tell me so I would lay down in them right after I took a shower before bedtime. The one thing we all have in common is that we recognize that what we did was wrong and we're working to make it right and be better people. Don't do something like that again, do things the right way and learn from your mistakes, and you and I will be fine.
