[She gives a small chuckle before her expression shifts into a reassuring smile.]
That's okay. My little sister used to have trouble with being put on the spot too.
[She's not 100% sure if Ruby's totally outgrown it either.
One side of her mouth skews up again.]
I told her to just do what I did: Imagine everybody in their underwear.
[That's a joke. ...Mostly a joke.]

...Wait, do you have feelings for somebody else?
[SHE DID NOT CONSIDER THIS.
She kinda just assumed Allura was single and ready to mingle like all of her other friends that aren't Pyrrha, Jaune, and Nora.]
I'll have them take it down if you are.
[She's a terrible friend but not a terrible friend.]

What-- Oh! Nonono, Yang, I was being hypothetical! [Liar.] But my point was you didn't ask me if I was available or not, or if I have no interested in romance at all. It's all about consent, you see!
[ Pyrrha is generally pretty together and assured, it's true! However, in this instance, she is definitely out of her comfort zone. Briefly, a faint flush lingers high up on her cheeks, hectic slashes of colour that rise and dissolve.
As they get further down the street, she knows she can't dally the point forever.
So, without much more hesitation, she blurts out -- ]
Yang, have you ever... been with someone? [ Because there are many ways that can be construed, Pyrrha will add, ] ... as in slept with them?

Aaahhh...
[Eloquent.
Obviously whatever she was thinking Pyrrha might ask about, it wasn't that. She doesn't look flustered exactly just...caught off-guard.]
I...uh... [The smallest hesitation.] Yeah...yeah, I guess I have.
[There...may not have been any actual sleeping involved at the time, but...
A thought occurs to her and her gaze narrows just the tiniest bit.]
...Dooooes this have anything to do with Jaune?
[Now she's not saying she'll rip his balls off if he's pressuring Pyrrha into something she's not ready for or wants, mostly because she's pretty sure Jaune wouldn't do that and Pyrrha could kick his ass just fine on her own. And that'd be jumping to conclusions.
But, you know, she'd do it.]

[ LOOK SHE'S NOT READY TO SAY THE S-E-X WORD YET ]
... Yes.
[ It's not what Yang thinks, though. If anything, Pyrrha has been the one with intimacy on her mind, initiating things and trying (and failing!) to gauge whether or not he's ready and willing. Yang's potential misunderstanding of the situation makes sense, though; most people don't realise how aggressive Pyrrha is. ]
The thing is, I really - I want to... but...
[ adskfhs ]
And we almost did, but it was during the period of time when the city's crystal was stolen, and I suppose we got a little too worked up, [ that was the day the Nora and Pyrrha's room basically got destroyed, Yang's likely seen the mess, ] and then Penny came to the door...
[ It was basically the worst.
Pyrrha tops it off with this thoroughly concerning remark: ] And we weren't exactly, you know, careful, either.
[ everything about it was wrong and she's so overwhelmed now, this is scary!! ]

[She has seen that mess. She figured it was better not to ask. She was right.]
O-kay. [She punctuates that a bit because she's just not sure she wants any more details about how Jaune and Pyrrha melted a room with the power of whoopie.] So you got a little carried away.
...A lot carried away. [They did destroy a room, geezes you two. Regardless, she offers a small smile.] It happens.
I mean, regular hormones are bad enough without emotion crystals messing with stuff, right?
[Sometimes they make you do crazy things. Like suddenly kiss your teammate that you've grown really fond of. It happens, you know! ...Haha...
...Anywho.]
It...sounds like maybe you wanna try again though?
[She's not a mind-reader, Pyrrha, even if she's not a half-bad people-reader.]

Dear Yang,
Now that you are under my tutelage, I will be expecting you to spare 10-30 minutes of your morning to meditate.
I'm also expecting you to be able to create something with your emotions. It doesn't have to be big. Being able to burn a small piece of wood or changing the colour of a leaf will do. It's small things like these that will help you be more in tune with the magic within you.
When it takes little effort for you to be able to channel your emotions into something tangible, let me know. We'll begin combat training.
Yours truly,
Weiss Schnee
...Right. [She's not sure she's buying that.] Well, just because it's called a blind "date" doesn't mean it has to be romantic or something.
You could just go and see if you make a new friend.
[Nothing wrong with that. Who doesn't want more friends?]

That's allowed?
[This precious cinnamon roll, how do hooman date things.]

Mmhm.
[ She did say, she really wants to! Despite their failed attempts - one at the time of this thread, but a second to follow - she can't help but have that desire linger. It's the typical fare of a warm blooded adolescent, made all the more urgent by her situation back home. ]
... does the first time - does it hurt?
[ she heard it hurts! ]

In that case... maybe this isn't as bad an idea as I thought...
[Oh my god, Weiss gave her homework???
At least that second part shouldn't be too bad. She's tried some things once or twice with Pyrrha and on her own, she's confident she'll be able to find something she can do consistently.
Meditating is going to be a chore though.]

[Yang hesitates on her answer and then frowns.]
It...can? It sorta depends on...things. [She makes a weird hand gesture with her right.] I mean, it can kinda hurt after the first time too, if you're doing it with somebody who doesn't, you know...know what they're doing? So...
[She brings her left hand up to mess around with a tendril of blonde hair. This is such a trippy conversation.]
It's not bad though. It's just sorta like, stretching a muscle wrong? Or a pinch? It's weird...
[And really hard to describe, geez.]

I see. I ... I think.
[ It's a somewhat frightening thought. Right now, Pyrrha finds herself wishing she was as brave as Yang, but that's a notion she has quite a bit.
A slight sigh. ]
Sorry, Yang. I know this bizarre. It's just... it's the sort of thing I would have asked my mother about, probably, if I, uh, could. [ But she can't, being here, her circumstances being what they are. ]

[She smiles weakly.]
Don't worry about it. I know the feeling.
[The not having a mom around to ask stuff about part. Tooootally gets that.]
I dunno if this helps but...it's really not as big a deal as people make it out to be? Er, well, it can be a big deal...to you, at the time...but, you know...
[Yang pauses, having trouble grasping the words she wants. Where the hell was she trying to go with that? She shrugs awkwardly.]
I guess I mean...don't worry if it's not storybook perfect the first time? I don't think anybody gets it 100% right on the first try, no matter what Blake's stupid books say.
[...Not that she's ever read those. Ahem.
Her expression softens.]
I'm sure Jaune wants to take care of you the best he can. [...] ...He...does know what he's supposed to do, right?
[Joking! Totally joking. ...Mostly joking.]

[Okay but does Jaune know what he's doing or...?
Yang rubs the bridge of her nose.]
Blake...liked to read romance novels.
[And thought she was being super subtle about it. In a room with three teammates of varying degrees of nosiness.]
You know the kind: Mysterious girl meets even more mysterious boy. They fall in love and have an unforgettable first night of passion filled with fancy descriptive words and weird flower imagery?
[Again, she's totally never read these books. Ever.]
