[ So that's how it is... maybe he has been worrying about nothing all along. ]
I guess your mom's pretty driven, too.
[ He smiles a little, appreciating that Yang isn't willing to let herself be pushed away, but she's also trying to make him feel better. It's not easy, considering the cards they've been dealt with, but she's doing her best and he won't let that go unnoticed.
There's not much else they can do about it for now, but if she's willing to still stick around with him, then he thinks he knows what they can do for the time being. ]
Y'know, I was gonna pick up a couple of milkshakes for the house, but... I only got so many hands, heh. Mind if I borrow yours?
[ a beat ]
I'll bring it back.
[ A joke, of course. What he's really asking is if she'd like to come along and help him in this endeavour. ]
[Yang can't help the derisive snort that escapes her.]
That's one word for it.
[He can just say Raven's an asshole, she's not gonna disagree with him.
Her expression softens again however at the mention of milkshakes, before it shifts into a mock pout, her left hand settling at her waist as her mechanical right one holds up a finger to interrupt.]
Nnnnope~ No way! Sorry Jaune. [She folds both her arms in a faux huff.] Me and this arm are a package deal.
[She's barely hiding her grin at this point, knowing exactly what he was really asking.]
Ahh, well, far be it from me to "tell you what to do"...
[ He says it with a grin that matches hers, obviously pleased with this outcome. Maybe going for a walk wasn't such a bad idea after all, and when they return, the mood back in the house might even feel a little lighter again. Milkshakes won't solve all of their problems, but it will do for now as they figure out what to do next in the near future. ]
[Her expression warms, the grin she'd just barely containing settling into a bright smile.]
Anytime.
[There's gratitude in her tone as well, an unspoken, "Thank you as well". She's maybe only witnessed a small tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Jaune does, not just for his own team, but for Ruby and Weiss: Encouraging them, bolstering them when they're down, even playing the fool just to get a laugh. But what she has seen him do for the people she cares about means more to her than anything and she knows he's tried to do the same for her which is...admittedly still something she has more practice giving than receiving. But still appreciated all the same.
Milkshakes definitely can't solve all of their problems, but all of them working together and supporting each other? Maybe, just maybe, that'll be enough.]
