Details

My Self-Summary

Greetings. My name is Weiss Schnee. I'm a Huntress and a member of team RWBY. I hail from a world called Remnant, and I was once a citizen of the kingdom of Atlas.

I tend to wear my hair in different ways. Why don't you tell me which style you think suits me best?

My Future Plans

To learn the ins and outs of this resort, mostly. And of course, get back to Remnant, where my friends are.

With regard to the games here? Let's just say I'd like to upgrade my suite.

My Talents

For combat related talents, I am an exceptional fencer and my swordsmanship is beyond compare. My Semblance allows me to create Glyphs, as well, which make me capable of performing feats like making shields and platforms, time dilation, or summoning creatures that are under my command. I'm also very proud to say that I know a thing or two about making weaponry; I did, after all, design my own weapon.

Of course, I'm not just all work and no play. I'm a skilled artist, with a talent for dancing, playing the piano, songwriting, and singing. I've performed in front of my kingdom many, many times, and even my fellow students at Beacon loved my performances.

You should also see how 🥨flexible🥨 I can be.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

I've read many books since I was a child, as reading is one of my favourite past times. The classics never get old, such as: The Boy Who Fell From the Sky, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Corpse Doctor, amongst others.

I tend not to watch movies, and I only do so when people invite me out. As such, I don't really have a favourite. Maybe you can invite me to watch a movie with you and change my mind? 👉👈

When it comes to my taste in music, I do enjoy operas and ballads, but I've also branched out and have been listening to pop and rock songs. There's just rap which I don't quite understand...

And lastly, for food, I am typically not a very picky eater. I like to eat light and healthy, so salads, quinoa, and granola are in my usual diet. I do love frozen yoghurt best, though! Especially blueberry flavoured frozen yoghurt. That would be my favourite. And crepes, of course!

My Ideal Partner

I haven't had time to sit down and think of what kind of partner is ideal for me. Of course, somebody mature would be best, because I have no interest in childish things. Someone who will look out for me, give me attention and affection, and call me a good girl. 💙💙💙

Someone I can have an intellectual conversation with over either coffee or tea, or someone who can challenge me and push me to my limits would be best. I'd like to grow as a person as well, after all.

[schmisse]

Why not? You know they do stuff like that in some movies? You could lift a plank and I could sit in the middle or something.

[ If he's bench pressing, anyway. ]

But I was imagining something like... if you carried me and...

[ Okay, pardon her, but she doesn't know what it's called. She instead puts the towel over her shoulders, hair on one side. ]

Then do squats.

[ In fact, she holds out her arms, and then does a goblet squat. Though rather than bringing her hands close together when she's all the way down (as low as she can be without revealing what's underneath her robe, anyway), she maintains her arms being in front of her, just her hands closer to her chest. ]

Like that? I think that works.

[belialedge]

Well NOW you're just reminding me of my old training days with Master. He'd sit on my back and drill me the whole damn time.

[ "But I was imagining something like... if you carried me and..." ]

Yooou mean like...a fireman's carry? While you plank across my shoulders?

[ Frankly as beautiful as Weiss was from top to bottom, and how he's literally seen everything; once more, time and place. So he thanks her for not squatting down too low to give him the good ol' coochie flash. If she accidentally had, his eyes would only have been looking because she's the one squatting down. ]

You know you're a LOT lighter than what I normally lift.

[schmisse]

We could do that, too!

[ Her on his back and all. Either way, what was a random and funny idea has now become a plan for the future jahfsjf

She goes back to drying off her hair though. Once her hair isn't dripping anymore, she'll be ready to head out and into her closet. ]

Huh? You're joking, right? That's way too much! [ Or so she thinks... ] You really are so Wagna.

[ ... wait for it ]

Wagna the Grim Reaping Crimson Calamity Bloodedge... ogre.

[ snrk ]

[belialedge]

Ohh, why the hell not. A hundred pushups, slow and steady.

[ Just don't smack him in the back of the head if his posture wobbles a tad. Or make him start over. adsfklj ]

Not for me it ain't. Trust me, the crap Master had me go through, you wouldn't believe.

[ Jubei really WAS an honest and goodhearted person. He was a warm presence to most that meant no ill will. Kind old man vibes. ...He was also just a real hardass on Ragna for good reason. ]

[ "You really are so Wagna." ]

Yah-huh.

[ He's used to it. And...so long as it only comes from Weiss, he's actually come to like it. He's already erased Terumi using it to belittle him while he bleeds out dying so asdlkfj ]

[ "... ogre." ]

Step too far, Fiora!

[ The ass kicking princess that he could haul over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes? Yeah, keep that up and he just might. Scrubbing his towel through his hair until it was only damp, he decides to roll up and off the bed while Weiss busies herself in her walk-in closet. Today feels like a nostalgic wardrobe day! So he'll be getting decked out in that Bloodplay Apparel clothing line Monika gifted him, red jacket and all. ]

Be right back! Gonna change up!

[ He's got his own bathroom too, so he'll just style up his hair and set it in place there. ]

[schmisse]

Hmm... [ Now she's wondering if she's too light. She knows Ragna's strong, but that's still insane to her!! He can carry the weight of a person!!! She's seen those huge weights in the gym, but she didn't... really know how much they weighed. Insane stuff, but— ]

Yang can still beat you in that arm wrestling match.

[ #priorities

They can tease each other and talk however they like. She calls him an ogre and he bristles at it and calls her an ogre right back. It's a clipped gasp she lets out before she pouts, cheeks slightly puffed as she stands before him, utterly offended! >:T She's no ogre, Ragna! Just like how she isn't a devil! If he weren't standing up, she'd be bonking him on the head right now!!!

The tsun only lasts for a couple of seconds, though. She punctuates her pouting with an indignant huff before she heads off into her closet, a connected room to both her bedroom and bathroom. And she hasn't figured out what sort of look she wants to go for today, so she actually stands in the middle of the array of clothes racks (her dresses and other clothes organised by colour) before asking... ]

Wagna? [ She has to look back in case he didn't follow her inside, which she wasn't really counting on. He might want to get changed already, after all! If he didn't follow her in, she might just chase after him just to ask— ] What are you wearing when we go out?

[ ... is she gonna try and match? The style, at least, yes! The colour? Likely not, unless she can. She mostly owns cool colours, not at all trying out ones that aren't blue, purple, or violet, but she's at least got some neutrals already! Black, white, grey, etc... there's a rack with random colours, like the red skirt she wore for him when they had their study session, and some other accent pieces. ]

[belialedge]

[ It's not like Weiss wouldn't actually do something to him were he to bench press her! But she is nice and light. She had to be...what, just over a hundred pounds she's so tiny? If he had to guesstimate from fucking her while standing the times he carried her? ]

No chance in hell with what's on the line.

[ #priorities ]

[ Ragna barely sets foot outside her door before she's calling after him and giving chase! ]

Who, me?

[ Well he HAD something in mind! But he stops temporarily just outside her royal bedchamber, arms crossed as he hums for a moment, eyes locked on hers as he tilts to one side. ]



I was thinking of wearing my red jacket over some comfy black pants and black shirt.

[schmisse]

Oh, of course.

[ Red and black... what did she even expect from this guy? Weiss doesn't even question it anymore and heads back inside straight away, not saying a single thing apart from that.

They're just going out shopping, so Weiss can't look too dolled up. Still, she wants to look nice for him! So she picks out a dress that's easy to take off especially if she's going to be fitting new clothes on, and a nice cardigan or jacket to go with it. He's wearing black? Then she'll wear white! Red accent? Blue accent!

It's when she's all dressed up and just needs to put shoes on and fix her hair that she thinks, though... Does she want him to lend her his jacket? Yes Maybe...

Screw matching, then! Ragna will just have to wait a while longer because she dresses up again, opting for a two piece white outfit. Wherever it is he decides to wait, he's... going to have to do it for some time because after dressing up again and putting shoes on, she's going to have to style her hair and put on make-up, too. A little bit of blush and eyeshadow, pink lipstick... the necklace he gave her on her birthday, earrings that match... And then she has to go check herself out in the mirror for a good while. It's about a bit past twenty minutes when she's done, peeking out of her closet door to see if Ragna's already there. ]

I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.

[ This isn't a date. This isn't a date!! Weiss is just... always dressed up nice, that's all!! She closes the door to her closet and walks up to Ragna, a bounce in her step if only because they're!! going!! SHOPPING!!! This is exciting!! If he's seated, he's even going to get pulled up by her, taking his hand and tugging on him and all. Up you go, Wagna. ]

Let's go!

[belialedge]

[ What! He looks good in them! Better than another universe where a certain spiky-haired blond's wardrobe was varying shades of dark. afdjkl Though Weiss so suddenly slipping right back into her room without another word has him standing in the hallway, hand on his hip and staring with confusion. Blink. Blink. Three times before he cocks an eyebrow. ]

What was that about?

[ Not that he imagines that anything is wrong! But he's legit confused before he ultimately decides to shrug it off and head back to his own room. Towel and robe on hand, he makes sure the door is shut behind him before he shrugs it off, naked in his own quarters. Between Kazuya and the occasional visitor from some of Weiss' other lower rank friends, the last thing he needed was some unsolicited ass or dick shots for them. There's a little bit of a delay when he opens up his spacious (albeit not walk-in) closet and sees the off-colour red jacket that's reminiscent of his own hanging up. ]

...

[ Brows knitted, he decides to follow through with it anyways. Some would go with something more casual like a nice shirt and jeans for a shopping outing. But this was still good! He'd shop and browse around back home too whenever there wasn't a Wanted Poster up with his likeness on it. No one batted an eye at his choice in wear. If anything, Ragna actually did take some care in his own style. While there's no need for makeup as far as the Grim Reaper was concerned, that still wasn't going to stop him from cleaning up in his own bathroom. Moisturizing cream, nice and smooth to prevent dried out skin. He gets to take way better care of himself at this resort than he was allotted back home. Not that he really needed it back home, but he purchased some hair spray in which he can spritz through his thick locks to hold it in place once he's styled it back from being wet.

A lot simpler warpath to looking stylish when it comes to Ragna the Bloodedge. But he does put in effort by the time he's finished checking himself in his own full length mirror. ]

Phew. Alright then.

[ Just like old times. By the time Weiss does peek out from her closet door however...he's been there for at least ten minutes. Not that he was worried! Kicking his feet on her bed, feeling nice and relaxed now that he had a good shower after a workout in the morning, he looks up just in time for her to step out for him. ]

Nope. Take your time. Iiiii...

[ Got stunned all over again when Weiss was changed up in that two piece white outfit of hers. No one can say that Ragna was too oblivious to notice when someone looked nice. He just had a penchant of not voicing it. It's a little bit easier to do that when he's had this many months to calm down and practically live another life removed from everything he knew... A part of him wonders if Weiss felt the same way, living a life unlike her own. ]

That looks, uh...really good on y— [ Aaand up he goes! Not that he was really resisting in the first place. ] —whoa!

[ "Let's go!" ]

Oh uh yeah sure. Got it. Lead the way, Angel.

[ /// ]

[schmisse]

[ One of these days, Ragna will be able to compliment Weiss properly without being interrupted or pulled away or something... One day!!!

Weiss does take his reaction to be a good sign though. Down the stairs they go, out her suite, into the elevator to get to the main part of the resort... ]

So, should we go to The Nest first or do you want to have an early lunch?

[ They did exercise before this! If he feels like he's gonna get hungry soon, they'd better eat first. Weiss is fine with just a quick snack like a granola bar before taking part in the main event: Shopping. She already thinks they're going to take a while, seeing as how they planned to get rid of the ghost money he got. It's not just going to be a twenty minute trip to a boutique and that's that. Nope. They're going to be here for hours. ]

We can go check out equipment before going there, too. Oh, and do you think we can stop by the bookshop? I might need a new journal soon and maybe there's some new inks in stock.

[ She's excited, if that wasn't obvious enough! ]

[belialedge]

[ One of these days, that dream was going to be a reality. The world was going to stop turning. And time will stand still when it arrives. In the meantime, his stunned stutter was just as good an affirmation that she looked good. More than good. Down the stairs and out the front door towards her personal elevator they go, hand on his hip once more as he turns to look down at her when she suggests a bite to eat. He wasn't too hungry quite yet, but...! ]

How about we grab a quick bite before we get started. If we get hungry while we're out and about, I can always take you to the food court.

[ And for once? Everything was on him without argument! ...Then again, the challenge was going to be how the hell do they spend $9000 worth in chips in a single shopping trip and make it actually mean something?? ]

Running outta space in your current one?

[ That's about as good as it gets for confirmation from him! ...Though he will, as per her teachings, say it properly once more. ]

Either way, sure. I wouldn't mind taking a browse with you there anyway.

[schmisse]

The food court? Um, sure, I guess.

[ Weiss only looks slightly offended by it. She's never had to eat at a food court of a mall before. In school, sure, but if they're at a mall... then she wouldn't eat in some common and public place? 🤨 Not unless it's a fancy food court with all kinds of stalls with fresh food and not fast food, clean tables and chairs, and all that. If the food court in the casino isn't nice, then she'll just ask to eat at a restaurant where they can be properly seated and served.

Also... in this outfit? ]

I still have space, but it'll probably be just a few days from now before I could use a new one. I mean, I'm going to be talking about today, you know? [ In her journal, she means! ] I think today's going to be pretty eventful, so that's more than one page already!

[belialedge]

You uh...guess?

[ He wasn't dead set on it, but even being slightly offended by what he said registers with him as he tilts his head. It speaks volumes as to what the passage of time has done for Ragna's temperament here that he doesn't get offended or defensive by her mild indignation. The last time he went on a shopping run at the Nest, he went to the food court with Monika and it wasn't a big deal? They just needed a place to stop and eat while they took a break. But he doesn't voice that, instead shifting gears instinctively. ]

Then a nice place to sit down? I know there's a buncha those down a strip...

[ No one can ever say that Ragna the Bloodedge doesn't at least try. ...He ain't about to apologize for his first suggestion though. ]

You've kept track of a lotta things since you got here, haven't you?

[ His cadence only infers that he's mildly curious... Of course he wasn't going to snoop in her diary(s)! But now she's got him thinking too. Thinking about maybe following in her footsteps. He'd have to sum up a lot of his past doings by heart, but...maybe she's onto something. ]

[schmisse]

I've never been to a mall's food court before.

[ But she did say "Sure", Ragna!! It's fine even if it might offend her delicate sensibilities. They can find a nice place to sit down after buying some snacks later on. For now though, their plan is to buy some snacks, hit the shops and spend some time looking around and shopping, and then find something to eat again. ]

Yeah. It's both for intel and a hobby, I suppose? I've always kept a diary since I was a child, and I like to write letters to Winter too... even if she might not ever read them.

[ Her older sister would have to arrive here to do that, after all. Or she could find herself back in Remnant with all the letter she'd wrote her. Or neither could happen, so who knows! ]

[belialedge]

Oh. Really? The one I went to had a little bit of everything. Let's just play by ear when we get really hungry, yeah?

[ They might not be anywhere near the food court by the time they want to take a break and a bite, after all!

'DING!' The elevator door opens and it's out into the lobby with them! Being that it's the "summer" time at the Golden Peacock, the AC is running swimmingly well all throughout the resort. So long as they stick to the Nest and more public areas, they won't need to worry about anything being pumped through the halls in a bid to warm them up. On that note, House? By the by? You really don't need that for these two. Not anymore... ]

I never really had the time for it back home. I was always on the go...and I guess I didn't give myself enough time to think clearly enough to actually put anything down.

[ "-and I like to write letters to Winter too... even if she might not ever read them." ]

Something tells me she will. 'Cause if anyone's gonna find a way to, it's you.

[ Simpler encouragement. Hope. Keeping a little piece of that for when the time finally came to finish what she and her friends started back home. But it's a thought he doesn't dwell on for long as his cooler smile preludes a more energetic huff. Right! Gotta hype himself up for this one. There's gonna be a lot of walking. ]

Alright, if we even burn through a QUARTER of our stash, I'll be impressed.

[ The OOC measurement is $9000, but, Who knew that that cursed dildo would skyrocket him into "absurdly loaded" territory? The more he gets rid of, the better. Somebody's getting spoiled rotten today. The real challenge is finding out how to spend it all. ]

[schmisse]

Sure.

[ Listen, if the food court has a nice frozen yoghurt stall? That might actually become its selling point. In any case, that's something to figure out later. They've got about a ten to fifteen minute walk to get to the Nest. There are lots to explore, and there are even some food stalls just around the shops. Churros? Ice cream? Hotdogs? The mall's got it all. ]

Try it if you can? It's a space to write and talk about anything. [ Journaling, she means! Not writing to his siblings, although he could try that too? Say things he's never been able to say... ] Even stuff you don't already tell me.

[ She offers him a small smile then, both to thank him for his encouragement and to acknowledge that she appreciates how open he is with her. The trust they have for one another is unbreakable at this point, now that Weiss has learned that Ragna really is such a good person beneath all his onion-y layers. The only things she won't tell him at this point are her thoughts about him. The ones that are way too deep and could mess up what they've built for themselves here and what they'll be going back home to.

Funny how that is when they've known each other for less than a year. ]

Oh, I'm sure we'll find a way even if it takes some time. Let's get you lots of new jackets and shirts, too. I think it's important to at least have a couple formal outfits in your wardrobe. And... you know how girls say it's absolutely essential to have a little black dress in your wardrobe?

Do boys have anything like that?

[ He probably wouldn't know, but... considering how Ragna surprises her with the random stuff he does know but she never expected him to have knowledge of? It's his stage to blow her away once again. ]

[belialedge]

Maybe I might...

[ A chance to jot down his memories here...what he's never had the chance to say out loud. What he may never get the chance to say out loud. Or take that chance to, when it comes to a particular former heiress. Not that she would be the root of every single entry. But as he idly lets his thoughts wander, strolling by her side as if there wasn't a care in the world or trouble to go back to in his, a wave of warm contentment washes over him a more excitable huff leaves him. ]

Whaddya say then? Wanna be my diary aficionado? [ Wink. ] Hook me up with everything I'm gonna need?

[ They'll figure out how to spend that money sooner or later. But the only way Ragna will feel good about any of it was if Weiss was the recipient for most of it. As easy as it would be to just split the funds, it was Ragna's idea to keep it in his own account; there's a method to the madness. Now Weiss gets to feel as spoiled as she deserves to be. Besides, she's gracious in her acceptance of gifts! That and he's come to learn there's a sense of satisfaction in giving to others. Especially when they're grateful. Present after present after present after present after present— ]

They do? [ About girls having a little black dress in their wardrobe as an essential? For all the little tidbits of knowledge he's gained and learned over the years between what Jubei taught him and his own experiences, unfortunately, this one flies over his head. Tilting his head at her with a more curious look on his face, he's taking what she says seriously! For a guy who prides himself on having some style, that one flew over his head. ] Can't say I know about that one. I just know what looks good to me and what doesn't.

[ Sorry, Weiss. 😔 He can't step up on this particular performance. There are still things that he's getting used to himself. After all, he was still a kid when he the tragedy at the Church happened. Followed by getting trained most of his teenager and young adult years around an old hero. Followed by spending the remainder of his adult years before coming here wrecking all the shit. He just picked up social cues and common sense along the way...things he didn't get much of a chance to exercise given his reputation and the bounty on his head. ]

So how come a little black dress is so crucial for girls?

[schmisse]

Seriously? You're going to try?

[ That wasn't disbelief but excitement!! Those bright blue eyes become even brighter as she looks up at him, her smile growing wider and wider by the second.

Boy, if you've heard her yap about stuff she doesn't like, she's a lot more passionate when yapping about stuff she likes!! Like pens and ink and paper and— ]

Don't ask anyone else, okay? Not even Nami! [ Ragna!! She grabs his arm with both her hands and shakes it with the same amount of excitement as one might have upon seeing a unicorn. ] Promise me, Wagna!

[ MORE VIGOROUS SHAKING!!!!! And it's not going to stop until he promises!

It's the very same excitement of being able to share what she loves doing with Ragna that she doesn't even seem bothered that he doesn't know what the answer to her question is. That's fine!! He can write about it in his journal! ]

A little black dress is simple and can be worn in just about any occasion, so it's a must-have. You can pair it with just about anything.

Let's find you something like that.

[ So probably a black shirt that doesn't look like he's going to school, and some nice black slacks that don't look like he's gonna be sweeping the floor with how wide the trouser legs are. ]

[belialedge]

Why not?

[ After all, what else could he possibly be doing in a sex casino? Yet it's the light in Weiss' eyes that catches him by surprise all over again. It really shouldn't; it wasn't the first time that she'd lit up like a Christmas tree at something that he said or surprised her with. What was a major hobby to the bookworm of a huntress was minor for him, such as reading. But as he was quickly learning about himself, there's a lot more to know and understand about himself. A lot more about himself that he can share...with the people he trusts nearest his heart. Like showing Weiss how to cook Udon noodles. When Weiss implores him not to ask anyone else for stationary advice (not even Nami), he barely questions it with with a half-smile, and a lighthearted: ] Hey, easy now.

[ He couldn't even say that without a trace of a laugh on the edge of his words. But he sighs through his nose, letting himself be VIGOROUSLY SHAKEN for another second or two until he gives her what she wants. ]

Okay, okay! I promise! I'm not gonna go anywhere else for advice.

[ He doesn't even realize it himself, how much that smile of his has since grown after he "endured" her euphoric little outburst. A smile that persists well into their next conversation as they walk past the lobby and out into the open resort space leading to the Nest. At this stage, unless something freaky happened (again) and locations shuffled around out of nowhere, the two of them practically knew most the hotspots of the Golden Peacock by heart by now. It came with the territory of sleuthing around as much as he had upon first arriving here...that and just sightseeing of his own accord once he calmed down enough and settled. ]

Ohh... [ Though the smile lessens, it's only to make way for a pensive thought...a few seconds worth of that as his jade and blood hues nonchalantly look his shopping partner up and down. Okay. Smile from before is coming back. ] Yeah, I guess I can see that. Come to think of it, have I ever caught you wearing black like that before?

No...

[ No he does not think so. And that's exactly what he was doing earlier while humming it over. He wasn't just picturing any girl wearing a black dress. But someone currently wearing white by his side. ]

Something like a black suit?

[ Ragna, wrong series. Don't turn into a Turk. ]

[schmisse]

[ See, there's a reason why Weiss' suit is Spades. Reasons like this, when she just wants to be the only journal-senpai to one Wagna the Bloodedge. Though maybe she's just really excited at this time. It could be both.

Because of that, Weiss doesn't even let go of his arm anymore. Nope. She's going to cling to it now, even resting the side of her head on it as they walk. The farther they get into the public areas of the resort, the more people they walk past, the louder the whispers get. Is that Queen really associating herself with someone so low ranked? Are they dating? Why aren't they dating?

Weiss couldn't even care. She's in such a good mood right now. ]

I don't really wear a lot of black, so no. [ But as she said, it is essential to have a dress like that, so she has one! ] Do you want to see me in one?

[ '^' ]

We can match some time, once we get you a nice outfit. It doesn't have to be a black suit, but still an all-black ensemble?

[belialedge]

[ To some degree, the Diamond had been an act of mercy on behalf of the House. It amplified various feelings, yes, but it's those pesky physical changes along with numbing the mind so insatiably that were the biggest pains in the ass. ...But, he'll handle a Spade any time. He's got plenty of experience in doing such, in more ways than one. That, and if this was Weiss' own bubbly excitement at being able to share in a passion with someone? It's not only harmless, but enough to have broken past those layers of his armour long ago.

How he used to recoil and tense when someone dared to grab his arm... Now when it came to anyone he trusted so close, coupled with the added control he'd come to gain over it, he actually felt warmth spreading from his chest at the contact. Instinctively, he shifts his stride for her to something a little slower. A little smoother so that she can comfortably rest her head against the side of his head as they walk. Ragna's used to being given a wider berth in public thanks to his lower rank...yet like moths to a flame, they gather for their illustrious Queen.

It's the exact same problem that Scott and Mitsuru had...

Luckily, Ragna's sort of numbed himself to the whole hierarchy. He will rank up in a meaningful way, if it meant balancing himself out with those he spends time with. Namely a particularly beaming Schnee hanging off his arm right about now. Were they dating? Why aren't they dating? That's none of anyone's goddamn business! ]

Kinda, yeah. [ As for why? ] You've been batting a thousand in anything you've worn.

[ Are you proud of him, Weiss? How proper he's become with saying what he means? ]

Guess we're putting that on the "shopping for" list. But, hey...

What about matching what YOU normally wear sometime? I mean, I'm not opposed to trying whites and blues.

[schmisse]

Maybe I can wear it when we go out for dinner or a movie sometime.

[ Or he cooks up something fancy for the both of them? They can find a nice little corner in the library where the view is nice, or some other more secluded part of her suite... it'd be a nice and romantic getaway even if they're just at "home".

To his suggestion that he matches her this time around, Weiss' footsteps slow as she looks at him. This time, she does let go of his arm, her own falling back to her sides. Hmm... Ragna in white, huh? That'd be interesting. ]

I'm sure you can pull it off. You already wore white when you dressed up like a professor.

[belialedge]

Getting my hopes up already, are you?

[ They've already agreed to a second date. ...and thinking of dinner or a movie, the latter wasn't on their agenda today. Yet he couldn't help but feel like there's a familiar vibe in the air between them today. He couldn't quite place his finger on it. So he decides to leave that on the back burner for now. ]

Professor? [ Half a beat. Then his eyes are widening as that was both a fun day and a flustering day for the temporary 'teacher'. Thankfully, he doesn't just immediately fluster up at their lack of self-control over the course of the day ] That's right. But I bet I could take it a step further.

[ Which is to say Ragna was going to put some serious effort into his outfits today. He really wasn't into it as much as the likes of Weiss or Monika were, but now that he's got the space for more...why not? He'd spent a good chunk of his adult life in this style of jacket. It's been a challenge breaking out of his shell and actually branching out his style.

They walk side by side, past a particular group of NPCs who had a penchant for fawning over the royal ranks, torn between being enamoured by the beautiful Queen, and throwing up their eyebrows at the diamond in the rough she keeps around. In his periphery, they don't go unnoticed...nor do subsequent pairings or groupings as their attentions are drawn to the dynamic guests. If there are whispers and murmurs, he's not hearing them. But he is noticing that it's starting to get a little more crowded... ]

(What the hell's up with all the traffic today?)

[ An internalized thought that somehow distracts him from the fact he'd instinctively, blindly starting feeling for Weiss' hand to take in his. ]

[schmisse]

When you say it like that, I really have to make sure I don't disappoint...

[ Especially if she's getting his hopes up and all! Wouldn't wanna dash them! And she knows he'd say something about how she always looks good or whatever—he always does—but she wants to be able to get him speechless! That's probably the best reaction she could ever get.

It looks like they've got more and more stuff on their list of things to buy now, though. Weiss is pretty excited! Even if they don't get to buy everything and use up all the chips today? That just means there's another day out together where they go shopping and talk about the most random of things.

It's nice! It's not even a date, but spending time together is nice. It's a different feeling if and when they're just making out or having sex or whatever. ]

Oh- [ She didn't think she would get lost, but the mall seems to be bustling today. Ragna taking her hand gets her to look up at him, surprised, but it's not at all a violent reaction. ] I guess a lot of people are out today, huh?

[ Best not to bring attention to him taking her hand. She just knows he's going to get shy about it. So instead of saying anything or smiling at him to show appreciation, she squeezes his hand and steps in a little closer to him. ]

Maybe we can still go around the shops and the lines won't be long? I don't mind if we just go shopping now and just have a snack later.

[ Hopefully there will be less people later when they decide to eat! ]

[belialedge]

You won't.

[ Oh so blunt... Was it bias? Honestly, if he had to take a step out of his own shoes and observe? No. Not at all. He can just catch the vibe from the huntress that she wasn't crudely vain. If she knew that she was pretty, she confidently flaunted it. She towed the line between blatant and implicit, and...well. Yeah, she was objectively attractive. Beautiful. Before the two of them even had the chance to click, one of the first things he said upon inviting her up was how nice she looked— even if that remark came off more brusquely due to his fresh arrival. ]

"Summer"— [ The air quotes in his tone tho... ] —is apparently the busiest time of year.

[ The instant Weiss steps in a little closer, he reacts to the squeeze of his hand with one of his own. It's not tight, but his hold does firm a little bit. They're not going to get separated or anything! It's not like they're being bumped to at every pass...but something about it still feels right. He's still not going to ever let his right arm breath without a sleeve or gloving; no matter who he was with. With its ominous appearance, that wasn't the type of attention he wanted drawn to him. ]

Good idea. Everyone's out in the hustle and bustle, so it might not be a freakin zoo inside.

[ It IS getting closer to "lunch" time! Not that Ragna or Weiss were that hungry yet... The difference between the NPCs routine and the freedom of choice that otherworldly guests held. Frankly, going against the flow made him feel better, knowing that they weren't just following along. Blending in...forgetting themselves ]

[schmisse]

You don't know that yet!

[ While she appreciates his support (?), she does want to take care and make sure she looks nice according to her standards. Say it when you see it, Wagna. That's the only time it counts. ]

So... bookshop first? Then we'll check out gym equipment?

[ Because she'll direct them to that particular direction! Not unless Ragna wants to buy clothes first, then they'll take a different direction for that one. Weiss at least knows where to go, so it's not like they're going to get lost at the mall either.

Much as she likes following a plan and a schedule, she's keeping it light and breezy today! This is as much of a shopping trip for Ragna as it is for her, after all. ]
