Weapons experts.
Kind of without a weapon right now and not even sure if I should get it out of the stupid rock.
[His poor family heirloom. Even if it's probably safer in there than in his hands.]
I'm looking to build my own. It's a tradition where I'm from. I'm also wondering what made you choose yours? If it works for you, there must be a reason.
[Maybe not one of the more hopeful reasons he would have believed in the past. He's done with that. But one that makes sense.]
Stay on topic.

My answer is yes.

[ It's not hard to notice the "OH COME ON!" in the background when she talks to other boys... or the way he jumps to her defense any time someone talks shit or isn't paying enough tribute. ]
Yeah, I avoid letting my team take care of me because Ruby and Yang's solution for a stomach ache is milk and video games.
Re: action!
[What are you talking about Weiss, Jaune doesn't do any of that.]
Video games might help. It depends on the video game. Milk definitely doesn't.
action!
[ He hasn't in a long while, but he definitely used to. And Weiss kind of wants to make her point. ]
They're fairly useless at taking care of people who aren't related to them.
action!
[Point made.]
I'm glad they didn't try to take care of me on the airship. Or ever. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Re: action!
[ Humility in victory isn't one of her strong suits. ]
That's alright, I'm well aware that just suffering through it is the easiest way to deal with it instead of calling for help now.
action!
[Jaune slumps in defeat. Sun calls her "Weissy". He'll never move past that.]
What about Blake? She seems more careful. Maybe not caring.
action!
[ Look, it's been confusing and she just doesn't know what's going on and she can't really blame him if he doesn't feel like a relationship with anyone right now. She isn't sure she wants one ever again. ]
Blake's solution is probably tea and sleep, which is better.. but when I ask for medicine, I want medicine. [ Give her the good stuff. ]
Re: action!
I didn't talk to you about it because at the time I didn't feel like it, but a couple of months ago she dumped me. It was weird, because everything she said made sense. It hurt, but I knew what she meant. But later we got back together and it was like our whole conversation never happened.
I haven't seen her yet. I don't know if I can.
[She could have seen the video. What had happened, how he had acted, everything. He wasn't the same person anymore and he couldn't pretend things were the same.]
You're not one of those weird people who actually likes the taste of medicine, are you?
Re: action!
[ She's not trying to shove that in his face, she really doesn't get it. Because if he's over her, he should be over her. If he's not then they have some things to work out. ]
That's.. really odd. I can't ever see Pyrrha dumping you willingly.
[ She's pretty sure Pyrrha would die for Jaune. And not just in the literal die-for-everyone sense, but Jaune specifically. ]
I don't like the taste, I like how it actually helps me feel better.
Re: action!
[He fidgets uncomfortably, using whatever weak excuse he thinks of first. He's over her. He doesn't want to think about it too hard because that means having to explain himself or actually think about why he does certain things.]
She said she didn't feel loved. That I deserved better.
[He doesn't deserve anyone. He doesn't understand why anyone would like him. And he's tired of watching helplessly unable to protect anyone, because he's either in a position where he can't do anything, or the other person makes the choice for him.]
I'm not sure if medicine is worth it.
action!
[ Flirters gonna flirt and haters gonna hate, Jaune. Haters. Gonna. Hate. ]
That's stupid. "Deserving" has nothing to do with how you feel about someone. You either do or you don't like someone, and you're welcome to tell her I said that.
[ It's good to know Pyrrha can be stupid too though. ]
Why wouldn't it be?
action!
[He has an idea of what she means but he isn't going to say so aloud because this conversation could take a different turn very fast.]
I'm not going to tell Pyrrha she's stupid. It's my fault for how I was acting. I just feel like I almost hallucinated that and if she really feels that way nothing feels like it was resolved.
Because some of it tastes so bad I feel sicker than I was before the medicine.
action!
You were probably being stupid too. [ Both Jaune and Pyrrha are stupid with different things. It is a fact of Weiss. ] Hallucinated? What, like she's just not addressing it anymore or like Yang seeing Mercury attack her hallucinated?
[ She squints. ] Why would you taste your medicine? Just stick it in and swallow.
action!
Pyrrha's not stupid, she just doesn't have the best judgment all the time. I probably was. [He shrugs.] Like the second one but without thousands of people seeing it happen and not believing me.
Why wouldn't you taste your medicine? It's flavored for a reason.
Re: action!
Oh believe me, she can be stupid. Mostly about you. It's something that tends to happen when you love someone. As someone who's had an argument that started over orange soda that lasted for two weeks, I can vouch for the stupid things love can make you do.
[ Jaune... ] I buy pills like a grown up.
action!
She needs to stop. Being stupid. [He speaks abruptly, but he just ends up staring at Weiss like he doesn't know her anymore.] Wait a second. You, Weiss Schnee, had an argument over orange soda. Because orange soda is your favorite, or...?
[He groans.] But my mom always said it was okay to--nevermind. I buy pills too, you know. I just thought you'd be more into the liquid.
action!
Talk to her. Even if you have to start an uncomfortable conversation, figure out what you can apologize for, apologize for it, then ask about whatever's bothering you. [ She shakes her head. ] It was over orange soda, but it wasn't about the orange soda. I told you some things can make everyone do stupid things.
Why would I be more into the liquid? I have functioning taste buds. I didn't even like them as a child.
Re: action!
You're being very cryptic about orange soda. That just gives me an excuse to do more stupid things.
Yeah neither did I.
Re: action!
So why would you think I was?
action!
Because you like fruit.
action!
I don't know who labeled that flavor cherry but it tastes nothing like cherries.
action!
It's not as bad as the grape flavor.
action!
Which also tastes nothing like grapes.
