[And as the shape comes to light a bit better, Ruby tilts her head, thoughtful.]
It's kinda weird, isn't it? [There's just something off about this entire situation, but she can't....quite place her finger on it...
maybe the fact that they're nowhere near the amusement park??? maybe that.]

[ beside her, weiss settles a hand on the hilt of myrtenaster. ]
In my experience, these things usually came with that fat robot in red.

Are you guys trying to jinx us--
[Just... just saying--
But she doesn't actually get to finish her question, because then there's a bloodcurdling shriek of something inhuman, and then there's another sleigh swinging by to try to avenge its fallen comrade.
Or just to murder them.
You never know.]
Whoa! Look out, evil fat robots in red!

Because it's mean and hurtful!
Now give me a real answer.

[ let's be real, ruby, their luck is pretty awful enough on its own already — they don't even need to try and jinx themselves.
case in point.
with a startled shriek, weiss jump-dives out of the way, nearly skewered by the sharp edges of the sled's runners. ]
This is terrible Christmas spirit!

Is this even really a holiday?
[Ruby's just skidding in the ice, before slamming the point of her scythe into the snow to stop herself--at which point she swings around to fire a few shots at the sled, speeding right on past them.]
Aren't holidays supposed to be full of fun and joy and things that aren't deadly?

[ jirou, on the other hand, gives a happy sounding sort of bark/snort combo and curls closer to her. yamamoto smile turns sheepish at her response, but is otherwise undeterred. ]
Right. My bad, haha. [ tries again... ] If you don't mind, I can give you a lift. [ he reaches over to jirou and takes out the three sword hilts attached to his harness. ] Better to find some shelter before the sleigh comes around again, yeah?

[ omg you guys this is what happens when you don't read weiss' pamphlets! >8'(((
right around this time, weiss is getting back up on her feet, spitting out a few bits of snow that she unwittingly swallowed in her jump-dive. ]
None of this is part of it, obviously! [ weiss is just plain insulted now.
as the sled seems to pivot mid-air in an attempt to veer back towards them, she slashes her sword through the air, sending a few streams of ice dust its way. ]

[ ................................. snrk. ]
Bravo, Jaune.
Did you come up with that one all by yourself?

I actually don't think I would be.
But, fine. I may as well do my civic duty and take the bullet for the rest of the town.

[ weiss looks doubly sullen when her cuddle-buddy is suddenly taken away from her. ]
What kind of "lift?"
[ really, though, weiss is in no position to be picky about her rescues... and yet. ]

And if all it does is make them dislike you?
What then?
What then?
Good to know!
[ But Weiss' pamphlets are usually so long, and really, Yang doesn't think that reading them would have properly prepare her for this, anyway. Right now, she's pushing herself up, shaking a cloud of snow from her hair and sending one fist forward for a fiery shot. Setting the thing on fire (or fiery ice) seems like a sound idea. ]

[ruby might have doodled on it--
Fiery ice, huh... Ruby skids to a stop, using her scythe to keep herself in place, and inspects the battlefield (as best she can in this blizzard, Weiss in particular blends in well). But she's gotta give some sort of direction, so after a moment, she grabs her scythe more tightly and--]
Weiss, candy canes!
[As if their stupid battle codes aren't dumb enough, but at least this one is properly holiday themed? Either way, she reaches out for Weiss, and as they planned when they sat down and chatted about these dumb code names for combo attacks, she'll launch her into the air (in a spiral sort of way) so Weiss has a better vantage point to take the thing down.]

[ weiss knew that was you, ruby rose...!
at her leader's command, though, weiss bites down any other criticism she has with regards to this place's bad form, and glides along the snow towards ruby through the use of one of her glyphs.
once she reaches ruby, she coils her body up, a spring ready to be sprung, and spares just a moment to meet the other girl's eyes before turning her attention back to the wild-flying sled.
alley oop! ]
