❝ Well, you didn't. ❞ She flashes her lopsided grin, proudly puffing her chest. ❝ It's an effective way to make friends, Branded with Ruby's seal of approval! ❞ Ruby's seal of approval probably wasn't the most ... credible, but who cares?

❝ No, /you/ cool off! ❞ Stomp. Huff.

When did Ruby even make sense when it came to things like this? ❝ No, /you/ don't make sense! Who even waits to eat cookies?! ❞

Silver hues glanced down at the outstretched hand. She shakes his hand, then nods. ❝ Eeyup. Friends! ❞

❝ -Cowards!❞ She shook her head. Getting singed was a small price to pay for a piece of heavenly goodness!

Ruby bit her bottom lip, shaking her head-- ..But as if on cue, water balloons start bouncing out of her crimson cape. Drats.

❝ Why does Weiss wear so many belts ..? ❞

A sinister glint flashes behind her silver hues. She laughs evilly. ❝ Heck yeah, Let's balloon 'em! ❞

Her response comes in the form of a fit of giggles. ❝ This is so rad! ❞ She mused, silver hues wandering around and admiring the view.

❝ Suuuuure you don't. ❞ She'd squint, Her lips curled down into a pout. No, Weiss wasn't fooling anyone! There was an outfit in her closet that had pleeenty of belts and she knew it.

Ruby blinked. Okay, maybe she was mistaken. Ooor, maybe Weiss was just persistent in keeping it a secret! Leaning closer, she analyzed the latter's features. No signs of lying. Darn, Weiss was good. Or maybe the Rose was just a terrible detective.

Ruby frowned as she was pushed back. ❝ But I could've sworn you had belts in there somewhere-- ❞ She can recall a brief moment before where she'd hidden inside the Schnee's closet with a plate of cookies. Nora was craving for sugar, and she was in no mood to share--

Ruby's brows furrowed in frustration. How was that amount even perfectly reasonable? How was it effective in the battlefield? Don't get her wrong though, Weiss completely pulled it off but... ❝ I-I don't get it? ❞

❝ B-because! ❞ Ruby didn't know what to answer. This was just her-- She did some things without reason, and she just.. felt like being persistent. Her shoulders drooped, and she simply settled with shooting the heiress a pitiful look.

A happy squeal escapes the brunette's lips as she held on tight! ❝ Wee, piggyback ride! ❞

❝ I-I don't know. . . Isn't one enough? ❞ Ruby blinked, tilting her head to the side. A bead of sweat rolled down her forehead as she pondered: How could plenty of belts benefit one in the battlefield? Should she get belts as well? Why are belts called belts? Argh! headache.

She reeled back a bit, then pouted as she rubbed her forehead. ❝ When are you gonna stop calling me thaaat? ❞

❝ Faster, slowpoke! ❞ The Rose then yelled, gesturing forward. ❝ To the bakery! ❞

As the tall Mistralian sped ahead, Ruby's silver hues widen in surprise-- Woahh, at this rate she actually might fall off! ❝ O-Okay-- You'renoslowpoke! Slowdownplease-- ❞
