[Text; Locked to Jaune's friends]

I think Pyrrha Nikos is gone.

[People are bound to find out on their own if they haven't already, but it needs to be said.]

[Action | Nova City]

[It's possible to run into Jaune in Nova City. He's not paying attention to his surroundings, and he might not notice someone he recognizes at first. And if he doesn't recognize them, then there's a disheveled teenager who looks like he hasn't shaved, much less changed his outfit in a week wandering around.]

[ooc: if your character is on good terms with Jaune, he would have included them in the text. if you need me to clarify it further, feel free to pm me!]

[whiteas]

Sure.

[ She pauses for a moment, pulling out her keys and grabbing the one for the old house. At least if he's there, she knows that he's safe and she can find him if she needs him. ]

Do you want me to clean up while you're out?

action

[aurabble]

Thanks.

[He finishes and faces her. He doesn't have much.]

No, I-- Maybe. I don't know.

[whiteas]

I won't throw it out. I'll put it in storage, for when you're ready. I had to go through Zuko's alone, I'm not going to make you do it.

action

[aurabble]

...Oh. Right. [Of course Weiss wouldn't throw it away. There was no reason to feel the sudden panic he had. Not only was Weiss his friend, but she had been Pyrrha's too. She wouldn't just throw her belongings away.] Why alone?

action

[whiteas]

I went to sleep with him and woke up to an empty bed. I didn't want to believe what happened, so I went to go check his apartment. The landlord recognized me and told me he was gone so I should clean up his things if I wanted any of it, otherwise he'd throw it out. It was so early in the morning no one else was even really awake yet... he always rose with the sun, so when I felt he wasn't there I started looking for him pretty early. Besides.. he wouldn't have wanted anyone else going through his things. It had to be me.

action

[aurabble]

[This place is so messed up. People just leave, with no warning or explanation. Jaune still feels bad for having to go be alone, because of how much Weiss has been through herself.]

If anyone had told me like that I might have lost it. I'll text you once in a while.

action

[whiteas]

[ She knows why though. She gets it. The one thing she hadn't wanted to do after losing Zuko was hang around everyone feeling sorry for her but not really understanding what it was to lose someone you were that close to, not understanding what it was like to know that they weren't in a stable situation back home, that they could be killed any time, that even if they came back they might not remember you.

Pyrrha would always have feelings for Jaune whether she remembered her time here or not, but there was one thing for certain- Pyrrha was dead. That was something Jaune finally had to accept. No more dancing around hoping Genessia would make it less real. Weiss didn't know how to help him come to terms with that. So she knew why he had to be alone. ]

You'd better. I'll send you dog pictures.

action

[aurabble]

Send me all the dog pictures. [His expression softens before freezing up again. Dogs were one thing that seemed stable about Genessia. He can't take care of Snow with the way he is now though. As guilty as he feels about asking Weiss to look after him, maybe it will help her too.]

I'm sorry.

action

[whiteas]

I know.

[ She wasn't going to say that he didn't have to be. They both knew that she wasn't feeling great about this. She didn't have to say that much. But she knew she wasn't the only one hurting, and that was part of what she had to deal with. Jaune should know that. ]

I'll live. Worry about yourself for now.
