[It'd be hard for Yang to put into words how grateful she is for Weiss's company. She's not especially talkative on the trip over to the Wall but that's probably to be expected and Yang tries to show her appreciation despite her silence, even just in the way she walks alongside Weiss or occasionally gives a small smile.
It's a nice day out at least.
And when they arrive, Yang finds herself even more glad she didn't come alone. The name "Ruby Rose" emblazoned on the Wall again seems almost anti-climatic in its own way. Expected. Yang quietly gazes at it for a few moments before giving a small sigh, fully ready to turn to Weiss and suggest they head back.
It's another name nearby that suddenly draws her attention back with a small puff of breath.]
...Dad?
[Written on the wall, not too far from Ruby's name are the words, "Taiyang Xiao Long" and Yang now stares at it like she can't fully comprehend what she's seeing.]
[ That's. . . a name she didn't expect to see, really. Sun's name happens to be there as well. That's three people from Remnant disappearing the same month. Ruby's disappearance stings the most, but she can't help but feel like her heart is sinking all the more with what she's seeing. Not on the wall, this time, but what she's seeing in Yang's expression. ]
Yang...
[ Weiss doesn't really know what to say, really, but she places a hand on her teammate's shoulder as a means of comfort and checking in. ]
[For a long moment or two, Yang looks like she's a million miles away, her thoughts a whirlwind as she slowly processes everything. She's mostly trying to recall what the last thing she had said to her dad was. It could be a very long time before she could even contact him again, much less see him. Had she at least recently told him that she loved him before he left? And Ruby...she's so glad they did something together not too long ago, goofing around at Swordcon.
...But does any of that even matter if they aren't going to remember anything now that they've both been sent back home?
Somewhat abruptly, Yang blinks to. The pressure of Weiss's hand on her shoulder prompts her to look over, first in a sort of vague confusion, but before too long a faint smile takes over.]
It's fine. They're both back home so...they're safe. You know, mostly... [Salem and her horde is kind of a looming problem but whatever.] It's not like we're not gonna see them again some time.
[...Right?
Yang turns away from the Wall, side-stepping slightly to broadcast her intent to leave.]
Anyway...thanks for coming with me. [She shifts a little awkwardly in place.] I, um, should probably go check my dad's apartment. Make sure nothing important got left there and clear it out for somebody else to use...
[She pauses, looking like she's on the cusp of saying something else, but then she simply shrugs.]
[ If Yang wants to be alone for now, Weiss decides to respect it. To her, Yang might need company, but... she won't argue. Yang's always been the responsible type. She won't do anything reckless after this. All Weiss can offer right now is support. And maybe a way to make Yang smile some more. ]
Alright.
[ She gives the blonde a nod. She's going to stay up and expect Yang to be back home before the day ends, and she will not sleep until Yang is also going to bed.
Just to entice Yang to go home, though, and as a means of saying that she'll be waiting, she adds: ]
I'll make some buffalo wings for dinner. It'll be good, I promise.
[ Not that Weiss' cooking is stellar to begin with! Weiss will try for Yang, though! ]
[Yang wouldn't have said no if Weiss had asked to come along but she definitely needs some time to process things. She knows Ruby going home is tough for Weiss too so she doesn't exactly like that she's essentially ditching her right now but she's just...she just has no idea what to do anymore other than try to keep going.
Going through her dad's apartment will keep her from just going home and lying in bed sullen all day and when, not if, she finally breaks down and either screams or cries about how god damn frustrated she is with everything that's happened over the recent weeks, at least Weiss won't have to see it.
But despite how clouded her thoughts were steadily becoming, Weiss's promise cuts through them like a ray of sunshine. Warmth and gratitude shift across Yang's previously saddened expression. Weiss's understated compassion and kindness is something she continues to love about her.
Stepping back over, she reaches her single hand out to take Weiss's good one, clasping it with a gentle conviction.]
I'm looking forward to it.
[She'll be there. She wouldn't miss dinner for anything now. Not when it's being made with so much care and effort for her.
Lightly, squeezing Weiss's hand again, she adds with a soft smile:]
Take it easy with your arm though, okay?
I'll stop by the bakery on my way home and bring back some crepes for dessert. The fruity ones, you like.
[She wants to do something for Weiss too. She can't even hope to bake anything as delicate as crepes with one arm but that's what bakeries are for and she knows those are Weiss's favorite desserts.]

Yeah, let's... Let's go.
[ May as well get this over with, right? And when Yang gets the confirmation she needs, Weiss will be there for her. ]
