action for jaune; lunchtime
[ Jaune and Weiss had been getting along for some time now. After their last real fight, it'd taken a while but they were honestly better than ever. And now, she was on her way to go patrol and peeking into his office while he was doing paperwork (or holowork, that she put him up to doing- you know, whatever). ]

You know, I wouldn't mind some company to patrol sector 5 if you want some fresh air and lunch.

[ She knows he doesn't do well with 'homework' for too long at a time. ]

action for jacques; evening
[ After a hectic afternoon with Jaune, it had taken every ounce of her patience when she got a call from the mayor's assistant that she needed to meet with him. Something about securing an event or something along those lines. Weiss had half a mind to just post-pone but given her current relationship with her father, the last thing she needed to do was aggravate it. She'd just.. have to try to keep her hands to herself. Wear gloves. That would solve the problem, right? ~~It wouldn't, but she isn't aware of that.~~

So Weiss shows up wearing a dress and a jacket despite the weather not being cold, and light gloves, peeking her head through the mayor's office door tentatively. ]

Hyperbole! It means a non-literal exaggeration.

[ The Jaune Dictionary expands again. ]

You haven't made one big enough yet for me to give up on you. [ Sometimes she wonders if she's too forgiving, but then she remembers that somehow Mercury hasn't murdered anyone since she started working with him instead of against him. It's working out. It's the people who surprise her who are usually the problems. ] Because I knew everyone who was participating likely had no idea how to perform actual fencing. It's not a show of skill if there are very few people who actually have practiced the skill being asked for, and it's not straight combat.

But aren't most exaggerations non-literal? That's why they're exaggerations. [He thinks. He's confused.]

Right. I-- [He hopes not. Weiss has given him too many chances already. It may not have directly been something to harm her, but he's sure this wasn't the Nova City she wanted. He failed. And now he's just waiting for the floor to drop beneath him.] None of us knew how to fence, but I wouldn't have minded losing to you.

That's not the point. The point is that if you're competing against a bunch of people who don't respect or understand the style, all you end up with is a bunch of sore losers. Winning wouldn't prove anything because they'd just undermine it and say that my craft is worthless instead of congratulating me on a skill well executed. [ And the people here are terrible sportsmen tbh. Way too much pride going on about combat. ]

That's when you do that [He draws a circle with his hand, then goes in a downward diagonal direction.] thing and take them down. But I guess it wouldn't be worth hearing them whine. [The elevator stops and he starts to head out.]

And they'd still say I used something other than fencing to take them down. I'm a proud person, but I'm not prideful to the point of self-torment.

[ She has enough people giving her headaches as is than to want to antagonize more into it. Weiss follows him, turning to her car once they're in the parking lot. ]

I'm sorry they suck.

[Now that they're at her car, Jaune bites his lip, looking from Weiss to the car while debating.] ...Will you let me drive now?

It's fine. More time to focus on actual work, anyway. And we still won shock ball. [ She sounds proud of that, for sure. ]

Is your name on my car insurance?

Right because it's not like you focus more than enough on work already. That's true.

Anyone's name can be on your car insurance. Do you need help spelling it?

I actually enjoy my work, is that so wrong? [ If you aren't going to enjoy fighting bad guys and doing the right thing, why do it?? ]

I'm not putting your name on my car, Jaune. The only one who drives my car is me unless someone needs to drive me to a hospital, in which case I only ask that you put a blanket down first so that I don't bleed on the interior.

I enjoy it too. But other things like getting shocked in the ba-- shockball and dancing and stuff are also fun.

Don't say stuff like that.

Are you going to be okay after that? I mean, you seem like the kind of person who wants no fewer than four little ones someday.

[ She's just saying, he seems like a big family kind of guy. Not that she's thought about it in depth, but Jaune has the kind of 'crazy household' vibe she'd expect having watched TV sitcoms once or twice. ]

It was a joke. Sort of. It's a realistic joke because history shows it very well could happen, but until then, don't touch my drivers' seat.

Four-- I'll be fine?! The doctor said I was good to go...eventually! Just because some guys can't take a hit doesn't mean we all can't. [He learned this from the Dream Docks. Flying into that boulder was not fun.] Why are we talking about that anyway?

I'm glad you're worried about your car. Maybe I'll just get my own.

It's more than that? I know you have 7 sisters Jaune, but you don't have to be your parents. [ Is he trying to claim that he has stronger balls than other men?? She's not going to ask that, it's too ridiculous. ] You brought it up.

[ She's gonna get in the drivers' seat now. Thanks. ] You can spend your hard earned money on whatever you'd like as long as you leave my Bentley out of it.

I'm not. Just because I'll someday aim higher than them doesn't mean I'm doing it to follow in their footsteps. [You know he could say something about that...but he's not gonna.] It was an accident.

Maybe I'll get my own Bentley and upgrade it.

So you don't want kids then? [ Look she's just wondering. Scientific inquiry. ] Obviously.

[ whatever bro she's turning the car in and driving over he's in. ] And that's fine because you'll have a license and it'll be your car.

I mean yeah. Kinda. Later. [The fact that his parents managed to have that many kids in their world, outside of the kingdom, is an accomplishment. Unless they're octuplets...] If it's obvious why give me a hard time?

Right. Because I have a license. Wanna play any music? [He's reaching for the radio or whatever the Bentley equivalent is.]

Because that's what friends do. [ have you ever met the rest of rwby Jaune, teasing is bonding. ]

The way you said that didn't sound suspect at all. [ it did. ] I will let you select the music, that's fine. [ unless it's dumb. ]

If that's the case I'm going to get you wet again. But I'll wait until we're done eating waffles.

No it didn't? [He's not lying about this he would never lie.] Cool. [He ends up selecting this because he just unironically really likes Taylor Swift okay.]

That's physical and that's different. It's like how Ruby calls me BFF and I tell her no all the time and Yang says my jokes are terrible and Yang teases Blake with a laser pointer which I think is kind of racist, but I'm not really sure I have the right to say that or not. But I wouldn't grab Sun's tail and pull it and you shouldn't keep trying to spray me down. [ Because saying he's getting her wet doesn't sound right!! ]

Let me see it. [ Someone with a license would know you're not supposed to look at anything but the road when driving! It's a trap. She's okay with TayTay. ]

[Snorts.] Whatever you say, Ice Queen. To be honest, I haven't thought of that before, but I guess that would be like me asking Velvet to be part of my magic trick.

Oh! Uh. Right now? [He's eying her suspiciously. He knows it's a trap but how. Is she okay with Jaune trying to hit those high notes though.]

I think that depends on if it involves a hat or not. If you tried to saw her in half, it'd probably be okay since that isn't typically involving rabbits. [ A beat. ] Right? [ Help her check her privilege fellow human. ]

[ She winces when he does and just turns it down. It's not half as fun to sing to the radio when the music isn't loud, she's hoping that will deter him. ] We are talking about it right, what other time would I mean?

But it's still the whole magic theme. I think. [He looks so appalled.] Why would you saw a rabbit in half?

Don't turn it down. [He reaches to turn it back up.] I don't know, it just seems kind of out of nowhere...

You wouldn't, which is why it wouldn't be discriminatory.

[ Weiss reaches over to bat his hand away from the volume. Which is when all hell breaks loose and unless Jaune can stop the car they are definitely crashing because of this body swap. ]

Yeah but--

[Jaune doesn't know what exactly happens. One moment he's about to attempt to fix the volume again, the next the car starts swerving and he moves to do something but suddenly he's hitting the side window instead of the steering wheel that he was aiming for and the car crashes to the side. Thank goodness for Aura. He tries to ask Weiss if she's okay but he stares, completely stunned, because he's looking at his own body and where the hell did Weiss go.]

[ For the first time, "Jaune" was screaming like a girl because there was one inside of him. Weiss was easily startled on a normal day when she's not in combat-mode already. She's immediately got her knees up and both hands covering the back of her neck, like she was bracing for impact, though a few seconds after the car already crashed. At least she's still got good reflexes, Jaune's body or not.

God she felt weird. Why did she feel weird? A car crash shouldn't have made her feel oh god she's way bigger and taller and there are nerves where there shouldn't be and this feels weird and once she stops freaking out about the crash, she immediately pulls the visor down to look in the mirror. ]

This is a nightmare. The car crashed and I'm in a coma. [ Obviously. ]
