[Yang's stayed very quiet as Weiss speaks. She wasn't expecting a confession like this, but she's even more caught off-guard by how heartfelt it is. Not that she's never seen Weiss be heartfelt or sincere, but still.

She relents, looking a little concerned.]

Okay...No more Ruby jokes. I promise.

[Honestly, thinking about it, she'd feel exactly the same way if somebody joked about her and Blake, and she's sorta regretting not being more aware of the kind of strain Ruby and Weiss's relationship could be in. The whole thing is just so stupidly messed up...

At a thought, she offers a weak smile.]

But...for what it's worth? Back on Patch...you were the first person she asked me about when she finally woke up.

[Well, Weiss and Blake both, but forget Blake for the moment.]

And...I dunno. I think if I'd had my head in the right place, maybe the two of us could've figured out how to come visit you or something.

[Their dad knew people. Maybe he could've pulled some strings for them. He obviously had a line to the General of some kind that she hadn't known about.

But instead she'd shut Ruby out, so who else was her sister supposed to turn to for help? She's thought it once or twice before but this is as close as Yang's willing to come to admitting to somebody that her own choices could've been just as damaging as Blake's had been to their team.]
