I would say that's why my strategy worked better right there, Satsuki. I wasn't trying to manipulate anyone, I was just being honest. I don't learn about others because I want to use them, I learn about them because I understand that I'm not perfect, nor am I always right. Being intelligent and talented doesn't make me either of those things.
[ A beat, then Weiss adds. ] You probably would've won if you hadn't gone after Sun and that weird reporter didn't start making up lies about me, by the way. Whoever that reporter was, you should probably find them and ask them why they were trying to conspire against you. There were plenty of negative things that could've been said about me and not a single one of them actually came up, just ones that made you look dishonest.
I find that being the reason of your success unlikely; I am hardly what you would call 'unsuccessful'. I also do not believe that 'manipulation' and 'honesty' are mutually exclusive concepts. If that is why you choose to learn about others then so be it, but the results are the same.
Perhaps. But you know what being intelligent and talented does get you? It creates the Welcoming Center. It creates Scientific Research centers. It creates things that PROGRESS our situation.
I just..
[Satsuki draws in her lips for a moment, and raises a fist to her mouth. Her frustration surges for a moment as her brows furrow, though eventually resigns.]
... I don't know.
I can agree to the latter, which I have already looked into. He is a troublemaking reporter from my world. I would go so far as to agree to the former. While those events did not do me any favors, I personally believe the campaign tipped in your favor the moment I agreed to a peaceful campaign.
Either way, that is in the past now.

Then as someone who is also intelligent and talented, I expect you'll use this opportunity to create progress in your own way.
[ She nods, rolling her eyes.] I'd hardly call them an actual reporter. You have to report something factual before I'd be willing to refer to anyone like that.
It was nice to hear from you, Satsuki. I was sure you weren't going to be very happy with me after the election.
[In her own way? That actually brings a bit of a smile to Satsuki's features.]
I had best not disappoint, then.
[Then a nod.]
It goes without saying that I was upset, however I believe moving forward would prove a more productive action. Until we meet again, Lady Schnee, and best of luck to you.
