[ she's only keeping the donut because it would be rude to let it go to waste okay ]
[He'll still recognize it as a gesture of some sort, and then he nods sagely.]
I see! So, it will be like a beginners course. Very well! I will gladly teach you, Weiss-san, and I look forward to when the time comes!

[ she wrinkles her nose a little at the use of 'beginners' but it's not like she can really argue with him now... ]
Yes, yes, fine. The next time our classes line up at the gym, we can meet up briefly afterward. How's that sound?

[Whoopssss. Lee goes on, unaware of his mis-step. And he gives her a thumbs up.]
That sounds nice! I have no argument at all... I will look forward to it!

Perfect.
You can go back to... whatever it was you were doing, then. [ she makes a vague gesture with her hand. she assumes it's just more running. ]

[He nods, and his smile sparkles.]
Ah, very well then! Please, feel free to resume your own activity, Weiss-san! I apologize for the collision once more... Please take care!
[And so, he runs off on his way...]

[ rude rude rude ]
It's a nice sentiment, that's all.

Give it a chance.
A real chance.
And you might just enjoy it too.

PHASE II
[ all things considered, things weren't so bad. sure, it was cold as ice outside, you could barely hear each other over the howling wind, and good luck trying to see past two feet ahead of you, but so far they hadn't come across anyone gravely injured, and that's always a good thing, isn't it? ]
Maybe we should check the network again!
[ weiss attempts to yell her suggestion over the wind, but she can't be too sure the blurred red and yellow smudges a little ahead of her had heard her or not. ]

[... Yeah Ruby's not even paying attention, mostly because she can barely hear them too, and what she yells over her shoulder is--]
Guys, I think I found some--
[thing.
And then she trips over said something.
Looks like someone already managed to mess up one of those sleighs, because she sure just tripped over it and faceplanted into the snow.]

[ but what part is snow and what part is weiss, tbh... gd her aesthetics.
did someone just fall? weiss peers through the wind and snow, and — yep — sure does look like that black-red blob plopped down. ]
Ruby Rose! [ she stops her way over, taking larger steps in the snow. ] Now is not the time to be playing in the snow!

LATER ON IN PHASE II...
[ so her day officially sucks. not only is she still stuck out here in the shitty snow storm, but she's also separated from her friends, and sporting what feels to be a pretty impressively twisted or broken ankle. any attempts to walk on it had certainly been met with a strangled noise of pain, a frustrated grunt, and a plop back down against a broken, overturned sled.
some christmas this was turning out to be...! ]

[ as far as yamamoto is concerned, cereal is giving christmas a bad rep. especially with the murder sleigh and everything; isn't christmas supposed to be family-friendly? maybe it's a cultural difference or something. in any case, yamamoto's bundled up against the snow, head bowed against the blizzard as he makes his slow trek towards the mall.
knowing visibility is an issue, he has jirou out, his blue flames providing a marker against all the white. it goes on like that for a while, jirou keeping a steady pace in front and yamamoto following behind him. at least until the dog barks a few times, darting forward as yamamoto calls out to him and tries to catch up, ]
Did you find something, boy?
[ weiss will find one shiba inu lightly nosing against her leg and then her face, checking to see if she's okay. ]

[She's just spluttering snow for a few moments, forgive her.
And when she manages to stop spluttering, she blinks up at both of them.]
...Sooo. What did I find, exactly? I'm--
[She squints at it.]
It's covered in snow-- [TIME TO START BRUSHING IT AWAY.]

[ weiss arrives just in time to see ruby going at it, hands on her hips with a look of irritable uncertainty on her face. ]
It looks like one of those things in the amusement park. [ it hadn't been an entirely pleasant experience, t b h ]

[ she may or may not have dozed off, a little, too cold and immobile for too long to gather and retain enough warmth in her body. she'd heard the barks, but hadn't really processed them, but there's no real ignoring the cold, wet nose nudging her cheek.
she stirs, albeit slowly, blinking groggily at the excitable dog. then its owner. ]
...Mention this to no one.
[ priorities. ]

[ weiss, please. yamamoto recognizes her as that girl whose charm he saved back at the ball, crouching next to her and shedding one of his jackets to give to her. ]
No worries, your secret's safe with us.
[ meanwhile, jirou takes the opportunity to nudge himself against her side, licking her face. hey, he's warm at least. ]
You think you can stand?

[ the fact he's so calm and amiable about it all just rubs weiss the wrong way even more, tbh, but at this point there's likely no winning with her.
she makes a low noise of distress when jirou starts licking her face, apparently displeased about it, and yet her hands come around to bury themselves in the dog's soft, warm fur anyway. talk about mixed signals! ]
If I could, I would have already, obviously.
