[ sadly so, jaune. and that much is made evident when a voice suddenly calls out through the small but cozy space— ]
You're blocking the entrance!
[ cue weiss stepping into view, wearing something she surely would never live down back home. the weiss schnee, parading around like some lowly servant! actually... serving! but weiss had already had her moments of indignation; she refused to succumb to ceres' bait. if they think they can break her through humiliation, they've got another thing coming!!
hence the almost defiant look she gives jaune as she steps forward, hands on her hips, chin tipped up. as if daring him to say something, to make fun of her, to laugh. ]
[ He gasps dramatically the moment Weiss comes into view! Between her and all the other waitresses, he doesn't really pay attention to anything else she's said. ]
W-Weiss..!! That... that's so... So cuuuuttteeeee~!!! Did you take photos of yourself yet? Let me take a picture-- we'll send one to Ruby, too!
[ CLICK. Ah, but he already took it, Snow Angel... ]
--Sorry, what? [ And apparently he wasn't listening again. ]
Aw, man, your job is so cool, Weiss. Think they would hire a guy like me? I think I could pull off a dress, hahah--holy dust, check out the girl in the pirate costume!
[ He's still a little overwhelmed. It's best to take control of the situation before he causes another scene. ]
[ He laughs, since it doesn't take much effort to keep it out of her hands, considering their height difference. ]
What, not gonna send one to Ruby first? Heheh.
[ He does eventually let her have his phone. He didn't come to ruin her day, after all. ] Here.
Just... be careful not to delete the other things!
[ Like his embarrassing selfies to and of Pyrrha, or pictures of doughtnuts or funny clouds. Some of the photos are just screencaps of Taylor Swift lyrics, of junk mail that claim he got an inheritance of a distant relative. It's all absurd stuff, really. ]
[ relax, jaune, she's not going to delete the photos of your precious oblivious love affair. though she does pause a little upon seeing the sheer number of them in the folder...
(she gets that weird, prickly feeling in the back of her neck again, the same feeling she got when she first spoke to ruby and yang here. that overwhelming, dreadful feeling that there's something big she's missing here.)
but she says nothing and simply deletes that last photo of herself (your thumb was in the corner btw, gj) before quietly handing his phone back to him. ]
As Ruby happens to be my roommate and partner, it's only logical she's already seen me in this uniform. [ pls. she's got nothing to hide from her friends, hmph. ]
[ she only nods once at his compliment, because of course she looks nice. if she's going to demean herself to this sort of servitude, she'd at least look good doing it! ]
Anywhere that's free, but please try to contain yourself... I'm fairly certain they'll throw you out if you make too much of a commotion.
[ of all the free things, it's straws he chooses to stock up on?
she sighs, just waving him down to his seat. ]
Just be quiet and still for thirty minutes, okay? [ she's actually forgotten why she invited you over in the first place... but she doesn't bother to linger, already turning on a heel to wander back towards the counter, pulling his order up quite easily. despite never having worked a day in her life, let alone in the food service industry, she seems to know her way around the business fairly well. of course that's all mostly due to her unwillingness to look like a fool, given she'd overprepared for both jobs.
when she comes back to his table, she supplies him with all that he'd requested for... and a single slice of angel food cake. ]
[ Sitting still for thirty minutes, it's a tall order but Jaune did promise to behave himself. When she returns with his order and the extra dessert, he's oddly touched. ]
Weiss... [ It's one of those rare times he doesn't know what to say right in the moment, so he only looks up at her from his seat. He's feeling a mix of... corny affection and confusion? He obviously didn't order this! However, the words do eventually come to his mind, and he delivers it in a rather playful tone. ]
I can't tell if you're being nice or you just screwed up my order. [ Which is it?? Both are almost impossible scenarios in his mind. ]
[ Soooo..... she made him her hero? SHE'S BEING NICE-- ]
Ah, so I'm like a bodyguard, protecting Weiss Schnee's thighs! I won't let you down, alright? I'm always happy to throw myself in front of any food that comes your way.
[ Because why not, it's free and it makes him feel useful! ]
You're right! Bodyguards don't go around announcing these things to everyone. This will be just between us!
[ He starts eating the cake, taking a spoon to his mouth, but continues talking as he chews his dessert. ] ...But y'know... [ munch, munch. ] ...it's okay to indulge sometimes, too. A small cake wouldn't ruin you! Not to me, anyway...
[ she doesn't respond for a moment, simply giving him a hard stare with tightly pursed lips. it's hard to tell whether or not she'd heard that last part... ]
Don't talk with your mouth full.
[ but it's probably for the best for both their sakes if they went on pretending like she didn't, anyway. ]

The pink building, Jaune.
action!
Wait.
What... is this place?
[ Cue Jaune looking up from his device, and realizing he's in a bizarre cosplay cafe. Is that a cute nurse that just walked by??? Weiss works here? ]

Please refrain from speaking above your inside voice. We're in a respectable establishment, after all.
[ she says, as another waitress wanders by sporting cat ears and tail....................... cough. ]
And don't you dare! I'll not have pictures of me circulating this place, thank you very much.

Every employee gets a free pastry every shift they work. I'm obviously not about to eat it myself — that would go straight to my thighs.
