4th Aura | Video

[When the video starts Jaune just looks tired. Tired and aggravated, and it's apparent in his voice.]

I can't believe I have to say this, but since there's nothing stopping people who have committed murder here from running for City Guardian, apparently I do. You shouldn't vote for actual murderers like Reiner Braun and Roman Torchwick unless you like the idea of trusting an entire city to someone who either admits they murdered someone and does a bad job of even showing any regret or someone who's questionably claiming they're redeemed after...a few weeks? Even if he does claim he's trying to make up for his mistakes, you don't just suddenly lose all of your bad habits like criminal acts in a short amount of time and try to take on that kind of position without an ulterior motive.

This whole thing is stupid. It's stupid. I'm done talking about it. Just...if you want to know more about the crimes they committed while they were here, I can answer your questions. I doubt I'll convince other murderers unless they want the position for themselves.

I have no idea what's going on when we play that game, it doesn't count.

[ Look. She just. That's not melodramatic it's something we don't talk about here Jaune because otherwise people will think she actually wants to take peoples' children from their very arms shhhh. ]

You get this really unsettling expression that makes me wonder if you have some other plan you can't talk about when we play the game. It's like... [He tries to mimic the expression he remembers, but he just looks like he spilled ice cream and isn't very happy about it.]

I could teach you! It would be kind of fun to watch you beat the others.

[ Let's be real. Every last one of them gets too intense about games. ]

Jaune, no offense but I don't trust your ability to protect the people of Vacuo using paper cards any more than my own.

[Pretty much. Poor Ren and the library. Hand on hip.]

Hey, Weiss, remember how badly you lost at the game?

Yeah, because I listened to Yang.

[ Yang was just tricking her like a horrible horrible cheater person it was just an excuse to look at her cards!!!! 8| ]

That doesn't make you better at it.

That was your first mistake. You should never listen to your enemies in a war.

[he looks way too pleased with himself that he's lecturing Weiss instead of the other way around.]

At least I didn't walk right into a trap.

[ Yeah she doesn't like this. Jaune isn't allowed to talk this way to her. ]

That doesn't make it any less dumb a game.

[this is probably a bad idea. like a lot of his life decisions.]

If it's dumb, why'd you have such a hard time?

Because I'm not dumb.

[ Duh. ]

Neither is Blake.

[Then again, she quit. He might have just unintentionally called Ruby, Yang and himself dumb.]

Uh huh, and look how that turned out.

[ he definitely did and that's how Weiss is interpreting it.

granted it was for entirely different reasons but jaune doesn't know that]

With me beating you.

First of all, it doesn't count since I was already losing when you started. Secondly, do you really want to be proud of one of the short list of things you're good at being wasted on a board game you already admitted is dumb?

No, not really. But I'll take what I can get.

[ Okay, okay. She knows she's being mean. ]

At least fighting finally made it on that list, so that's at least five things I can think of.

[and practically his whole body perks up from the praise. even if he doesn't fully believe her.]

Stop, Weiss.

...There's really five?

[ She holds up her left hand and numbers them off. ]

You've gotten to a point where your fighting is acceptable, you can dance, you're good with pets, and you're good at board games.

Huh. [he rubs his arm, unsure of how to respond. he wants to hear the praise but simultaneously doesn't know what to do with it. though it helps a little that weiss is more matter-of-fact with it. so he just redirects the subject.]

So does this mean I can stop writing sword reports now?

[ And that's why counting isn't on Jaune's list. Praise be. ]

Did you pass my exam yet?

Edited 2016-06-21 04:07 (UTC)

[Four is still better than he thought.]

If we go by my standards, I aced it.

[ She does have a fifth one. His head would just explode if she said it out loud, same as Ruby's would. ]

We're going by my standards.

[Weiss probably doesn't want to deal with Ruby or Jaune explosions.]

But Weiss standards are so high! I don't know if we're going by those.

So when you meet them you know you'll be that much better than anyone else.

[ Pop quiz time now that he brings it up. ] What kind of sword has an extended handle that allows it to be used with two hands?

What's that like, Weiss? Does being the best get lonely? [She said when. Meaning it's an actual possibility.]

The uh... [He looks like he's thinking hard.] The naga...something. There's another a in there.

[ She's not going to answer that beyond looking irritated. ]

The Greatsword, you dunce. Question two: when forging your own sword, what color does the metal turn if it's too brittle and can be smashed by a hammer?

[ He has to get at least one out of three or she's going to completely fail him. ]
