Yeah but I know where you live and work and I just realized how creepy that sounds
So. That message was weird.

[whiteas]

Please don't make me file a complaint about you with myself.

[aurabble]

I'm talking about the message they found after the fire. Way to jump to conclusions, Weiss.

[whiteas]

Don't start creepy and I won't assume creepy.
I'm waiting on the forensics to finish up to see if they have any evidence about what the accelerant is. I figure if it's a unique chemical, we might be able to trace it.

[aurabble]

It's a quote from a show.
You know who could really help you and is super smart? Ed Nygma.

[whiteas]

From the GSRF?

[aurabble]

Uh yeah who else would I be talking about.

I don't hang out with a lot of science-y people.

I don't even know what an accelerator is.

[whiteas]

Isn't he friends with Everglade's mayor? [ Look she's hesitant about anyone Evergladey right now. ]

I don't know who you hang out with when it isn't me, honestly.

An accelerant. It's what makes a fire burn brighter than if you just started a tiny one in your fireplace that peters out after about 15 minutes.

[aurabble]

Who, Mayor Duckalot? You shouldn't judge people based on their friends, Weiss. I mean I'm friends with you.

We've done more than hang out.

What if the chemical isn't unique? Is that how Nora makes her grenades pink? I've never seen pink Dust outside of her using it.

[whiteas]

That's fair.

Okay, hang out and work together.

Let's take this one step at a time. Honestly, if it's not unique it'll at least give us a place to start. Nora likely does a purified air+fire Dust mixture which would result in pink in the right combination. That would also be more explosive than regular fire. (Flames burn oxygen, which is the primary component of air, so if the Dust was refined and mixed properly I imagine that would be the resulting affect and color. Though I've never personally confirmed that.)

[aurabble]

Wait, it is? You're not going to insult me back?

I mean yes but you're also missing the point.

Huh. I never knew Nora was a Dust expert too. Or maybe it's because she just likes grenades a lot.

[whiteas]

I think you already did that enough by referring to yourself as the damaging party. It seemed like overkill.

The point was that you hang out with other people and I don't know who, you're the one who got into the semantics of what we do together.

I mean it doesn't take a Dust expert to go to a Dust store and ask for pink, explosive ammo. That's why they have experts in the stores.

[aurabble]

I know I'm the expert of self-depreciating comments, but which part of that was I referring to myself as the damaging party?

You don't get it.

Whoa. You hire experts at your stores?

[whiteas]

Well I'm certainly not. [ Sorry Jaune, the insult is that she just assumed the entire world knew that she couldn't be so it had to be him.. ]

What am I not getting??

We have to. We can't just hire someone like Ruby and have the first person who walks in the store get blown up because she sneezed near one of the dispense tubes and didn't know to cover her mouth when she's standing in front of explosive red powder-form Dust.

[aurabble]

...Yeah, that's true. [She's not wrong.]

I mean he doesn't look at me in a judgemental way and his hair is nice and he lets me take him places.

You know there's a huge gap between people like Ruby and experts though. Like...everyone else.

[whiteas]

Sorry.

I'm happy for you, I think. [ he sounds more like a dog than a friend but ok. ]

Yes, but people without knowledge of Dust handling and selling Dust is a dangerous combination.

[aurabble]

It's cool, you've said worse.

I'm happy. It's weird. I'm not really...used to it.

I guess that makes sense.

[whiteas]

OK.

Get used to it. Make it a goal from now on.

You know it does considering some of the things we've been working on. Speaking of, when do you want to do some more Dust training next?

[aurabble]

Now we're even. For now.

But what about you?

Whenever's a good time for you. I'm free right now.

[whiteas]

OK. [ How even ]

I've set life goals and am acting on them. Things that you don't want to know about involving my relationships, though if you want to hear them I'll tell you. I'm just trying to take one step at a time to stop making decisions made out of fear of what other people are going to do. That isn't a way I want to live anymore.

Where are you?

[aurabble]

You can tell me if you want. After going to the Dream Docks, actually before that, when we were given the cure, I realized that we both need to do what makes us happy. I can't be jealous and wait anymore. [It's a lie.] There are people who actually want to be with me. Who I'm not afraid of hurting. I don't want you to live that way either.

In my office.

[whiteas]

I was scared to be in a relationship for so long- first because I was afraid of falling in love and losing them like I had Zuko, then because I was afraid of Battler and what happened to Flynt. I think I'm ready to open up to someone again and.. I want that person to be Sun. When I got back from the Dream Docks, he told me that all those memories of being in love with Blake and he got back and the person he wanted to be with was me, but he wouldn't throw himself at me if I didn't want that. But he was the first person I went to when I got back too, before I even ate. I climbed in through his window so I could spend time with him. So we're going to see where this goes.

You're literally texting me from one room over??

[aurabble]

All I've wanted was for you to be happy, Weiss. That hasn't changed. And it never will. So I guess what I'm trying to say is...I'm happy for you.

I won't hear when this meat lovers bowl is done microwaving if I leave the room.

[whiteas]

Thanks for not being weird about this. And I do hope you find someone that makes you happy too.

..What is a "meat lovers bowl"? I'm not sure I want to go in there..

[aurabble]

Thanks. I think I have. I don't want to have any more thoughts about what could have happened. And I don't want you to either.

It's got beef, bacon, extra bacon, steak product, and other natural meats. I have an extra if you want to share.
