[ It's not like Rin is wrong or anything, but Weiss would prefer to spend what money she has here on essentials. Food is essentials! And she sure as hell doesn't have any intention of going around and begging for people to treat her or anything.
She does wave the waiter over, though. It's a lounge, so maybe filling finger food might be available. ]
Do you have some Grilled Nectarine & Cheese Crostinis? Maybe Cilantro Tomato Bruschetta?
[ Those are oddly specific, but it's what she thinks are good to eat. The waiter does confirm they have crostinis, but it's smoked pimiento cheese. Some other finger food selections are offered, as well. So Weiss defers to Rin for judgement. ]
[When Rin hears something she likes she pipes up.]
Oh! The roasted Margherita flatbread sounds lovely.
[It sounds healthy enough that she won't feel (too) bad if she devours the whole thing. Also it sounds warm... a perfect contrast to the fruit plate.
Of which Rin helps herself more to. Thanks for being a temp sugar mama, Weiss. Rin may have a family pedigree but she's always been broke herself. For... a multitude of reasons.]
See, there's the problem of not having enough money here, but if she's able to help someone, then that totally is a good use of limited resources. Though now she'll have to be more careful of how she spends the rest of her money.
Especially when she doesn't even want to play the big game hanging over everyone's heads. ]
Actually, it might be a good idea to look for someone who has more resources than others, now that I think about it.
[Rin's expression turns sly as she latches on to what Weiss is saying.]
Intend to leech off of the more fortunate?
[YOU MEAN EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, RIN? At least Rin actually intends to play the game. Though she does find herself a little concerned there haven't been many people she'd consider "prey," for now. She feels like like a cat surrounded by wolves while unable to spot any mice or birds.]
[Rin's mental gymnastics is so twisted it's difficult to tell when she's "I will be completely selfish and talk all of what I want and leave nothing else," or when she's, "life is a series of debts and repayments, and I refuse to be the one indebted to others". Perhaps it's a matter of context.]
Is that right? Forced charitable donations are acceptable?
...Are you saying you'll sell yourself for it? I mean, what else is there to offer in a place like this?
["Just tellin' it like it is" - only in the must blunt and rude way possible. Rin may like her fellow women, but she can be a thorn to pretty much everyone.]
Good luck banging your head on the wall. If you don't know how it pulled us all in, I doubt you'll figure a way out. I'd like to see you in a couple months and hear about your progress.
[Rin Tohsaka has always been stubborn, but she also likes to pretend she's the type of person who gives up in any situation she already knows she won't win in. Like someone dealing with "logic" rather than "heart".]
You know what? I'll take that challenge. I'll see you again and give a report on my progress. If I'm still here, anyway.
[ Oh boy. Now she can't not do some research and try to find a way out of here. She's determined, at least. Not just to prove someone wrong, but to make progress and find her way back to Remnant.
Their fingerfood is pretty easy to make, at least. By the looks of it, it was just plating everything and then bringing it to them, so it doesn't take very long. Weiss pushes the plate closer to Rin. ]

[ She looks absolutely disgusted at the prospect. ]
I think it might be a "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" type of deal. At least, that's who I intend to do things on my end.

Favours aren't all about sex, you know!
[ RIN????????? Oh god, now she's so flustered. The wine may not have made her drunk, but she looks drunk now with how red she's become. ]
Intelligence, protection, other deals— that sort of thing!
