[ That's not a lot of time. Weiss needs to get out of her house dress to put on something to wear for outside. Then she has to powder her face and fix her hair?? She's not leaving until she's presentable enough.
Midorima's gonna have to wait an extra four minutes. ]
[ Midorima may not have the same routines as Weiss, but he understands that certain things need to be done properly before you can go out. There may be a time in the future when Weiss has to wait on him. So he'll deal with it.
But he is going to knock on her door regardless. Like. Let him in at least, don't make him stand outside. ]
[ Weiss' hair is down when she opens the door. She looks a little rushed, not because of Midorima being at her doorstep, but because she only had eight minutes!! She's past the time now, but she's still rushing anyway. She doesn't like being late... though there have been instances of being late because of her teammates back in school. (They still don't look good on her record!
Not that that matters now.) ]
Sit down and make yourself at home. Just give me a minute.
[ She says this very quickly before rushing back into the bathroom.
The RWBY apartment is messy in some corners and organised in others. All in all, it's a pretty normal-looking apartment, mostly because Weiss makes sure that everything is neat and orderly. It's the bedroom that's crazy-looking, but the only other room aside from the bathroom is closed. Don't snoop inside, Midorima. ]
[ Despite the fact that it's Midorima's fault that she's rushed and stressed about being late, Midorima attributes it to her luck today. Clearly this is Aquarius's luck's fault.
He nods and goes to sit down, preferrably in one of the cleaner spots. He's not going to explore anything, he doesn't know who else lives here. He assumes someone does because he. He can't see Weiss being this messy...
..He'll need to ask her about that when she's done. She isn't this messy right?
Also she looks nice with her hair down, but he doesn't comment on it. Instead, he simply takes out his device to check some messages while he waits for her. When she comes back out, he asks. ]
[ Her usual hairpin is back up once she's out a few minutes later. She's powdered up and has added a little colour to her face, which she thinks is nice. It's not necessarily for Midorima, but she wouldn't want him to think that she's an ugly slob. (Weiss' standards...) ]
Yeah, there's four of us here. Ruby, Yang, and Blake live here too, but they're not here right now.
They're my teammates from school.
[ She's already explained what Beacon was like and is like now, so she doesn't explain what the teams are for now. ]
[ Weiss definitely isn't the slob here. She puts so much effort into her appearance even though she looked fine when he walked in for the brief couple of seconds before she ran off. He stands up now at least and goes to hold the door open for her.
Whatever his lucky item is, it's not visible right now, so it doesn't look like he's carrying anything other than his usual bag. ]
Is Tenshouin charging you that much to live in this building?
[ That she has to live with three other people... He knows this is a nicer building than the ones that are free but he doesn't know how much it costs. ]
That sounds like the exact kind of weird garbage Tenshouin would come up with
...Has Midorima been paying taxes on this building with two residents???
He follows her out and waits for her to lock the door. ]
I've never lived with my team before. Aoba and I both have poor natural luck, so we assist each other with that, but before that I lived with my family in a real house. Four people is a lot for an apartment.
More than twenty, I think. I stopped caring. [ ... At least she's honest. ] There are some people whom I haven't met yet, but that's how many people we have in the group chat.
[ She waves her device at him casually to show her point. ]
My sister was looking for moonlacing partners before. I'm not really sure how successful that was, nor do I want to think about it. [ If anything, she looks disgusted at the prospect. It's difficult to be supportive when it comes to something like that. ] I really don't like this place sometimes.
[ Everything about this building is weird and it gets weirder the more he learns about it. ]
It seems unnecessary. Anything that's going to happen will happen without selling yourself to strangers. It's disappointing to know that wisdom isn't genetic.
[ That.. was a weird backward compliment to Weiss for being wise about moonlacing. ]
[ Aren't you glad you don't live here, Midorima? ]
When there were just a few of us here, it was a good way to keep in touch and get to know people. We even had a small gathering at the rooftop during our first month here.
[ But there have been more people staying! It's not bad, but it's definitely gotten noisy... especially when people are getting kinky. Ugh. ]
Winter is the most intelligent person I know. [ She sounds snappy. Don't insult her sister like that. ] There must have been a good reason she needed a lot of Chroma then... even if she wouldn't tell me what it was for.
[ She folds her arms as soon as they're on the elevator, looking pretty bummed about the whole Winter thing. She doesn't need to whore herself out!!! Then again, Winter's... a lot more cold, a lot more distant compared to Weiss. ]
Someone from my world lives one floor below me and I still don't speak to my neighbors.
[ Well, if Mayuzumi wants to talk to him he knows where he lives. But their first conversation involved having to explain moonblessings to him even though he's Akashi's teammate so why didn't Akashi?? Why is this his job to feed and inform him??
So Midorima isn't exactly seeking his company out. Screw neighbors, he'll ignore all of them. ]
Wisdom and intelligence aren't the same. Regardless, there's nothing to be done if she won't tell you and it's none of my business.
[ That's both her family and her family's sex life okay, he's not butting into it. ]
[ Of course Midorima wouldn't speak to his neighbours... ]
You don't speak to a lot of people in general.
[ Don't think she hasn't noticed that when they're at the theater!! And it's totally not because she's seeking him out or anything. Him keeping to himself is just very noticeable!
She's decided not to continue the conversation about Winter. It's not the best topic! It's almost as if she's gossiping about her sister, and that's not something she would ever do. ]
I went to a cat cafe once to try their coffee. I only stayed in the food area, though. I didn't play with the cats.
[ Look when your middle school team is all color-coded it becomes an easy way to differentiate whose shit is whose. It's easy to figure out so he leans toward green things.
Though in case of tastes, most of his things he likes aren't green. He just happens to like traditional Japanese flavors more than anything. ]
A point card. I have a number of them in my wallet.
[ He already went and signed up for like three additional rewards programs this morning, using his grocery store point card as the base to get him there. He's loaded up on luck, they're just not visible. ]
Cancer is in second as well, so I don't need to have it out as long as it's with me.
[ So he's really just taking Weiss to a puppy cafe. And it's the last day of Iris, it's not like he can even excuse it as Cordis behavior... ]

[ Blake and Yang might... move out though. She's not really sure about that yet, but it seems like they might.
She waits for him to step out of the door before locking it from the outside. ]
I was the first one here, too. This apartment is technically mine.

[ It's ridiculous, is what it is.
I still don't know if Eichi's removed the kiss tax from Weiss yet aldjalfakd]My sister lives elsewhere. It would be nice to stay with her, but we've lived separately for a long time already, so there isn't much change.
[ She presses on the elevator and waits 'til it opens so they can go down. Midorima can lead the way afterwards. ]

[ That's ridiculous, he agrees. ]
That's probably for the best, considering what behavior this world lends itself to.

[ Midorima takes a step ahead of Weiss just to direct her in the correct direction before falling back in step with her. ]
You like coffee over tea, don't you? [ She seems like the type, somehow. ]
no subject
[ But for putting all-nighters, staying awake, and for breakfast? It's coffee. It goes well with apple cinnamon buns, too. ]
Why do you ask?
no subject
[ green tea, specifically. ]
no subject
[ Well, she'll ask Blake to recommend her some and then she'd tell Midorima, anyway. ]
no subject
[ just green
fuck off with your earl grays and your chais and your rooibos ]

Oh. That's not the kind of tea we usually drink. [ Blake does like black tea better. (I wonder why.) ] I'll still ask her, anyway.
