"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

Romantic? I, wait--

Yang, are they romancing each other?! Ruby Craterface Rose??

[ This is... exciting..... and confusing. ]

Craterface?

And more importantly, if it's not a romance thing, what are you talking about?

[ STAY WITH ME, JAUNE. ]

W-Whoa, do I know something about Ruby that you don't? Heheh, well, well, maybe I make a better big sister than you!

...
Uh... b-brother.

I meant to say brother.

[ Can he hear the sound of Yang's knuckles cracking-- ]

[ Can you hear the sound of Jaune cracking under pressure? ]

--communication devices!!!

Gesundheit.

[ What? ]

I asked her to work on some kinda tech with Hiro that will let us stay in touch outside of the walls... y'know, since there's no wifi there. Go figure.

Buuut if you're telling me that she might be canoodling with him then maybe I should send her another reminder! -- Also who is this guy?!

She's-- not canoodling! She's banned from canoodling! No noodles will be canned!!

[ She'll get to his question in a minute. ]

Yeah!! Agreed! I'm 100% behind you on this, Yang!

No canoodling for our little Ruby!

...N-Not until I get a girlfriend first!

[ Then it'll never happen. Good. ]

... Can we not base it off your love life?

I'm just saying, I'd feel left out! You and Ruby both having someone, Nora is mentally dating Ren, and then there's me standing outside in the rain, looking through the window on your Christmas or Valentine's Day party or something.

...But y'know, not in a creepy way. I-It's a metaphor.

[ But he'd do it maybe. ]

... You do know-- [ No, he doesn't. Poor Pyrrha. ] Trust me, at some point, you'd be right in there with us.

D'aw, stop that! [ Yang, you good pal. ]

Sooo what's the deal with them anyway?

[ Every bro needs a brosis! ]

I just thought they'd be cute together. Call it a sister's instincts.

My sisters never told me that's a thing.

Y'know if you wanted them to date, then you should've come to me. This is my jam! I know everything there is when it comes to this!

[ What happened to not wanting Ruby to date someone before he does?? ]

Because of your sisters? [ Because she's pretty sure you're hardly a dating expert on your own, Casanova. ]

Uh.......... y-yeah, sure. That.

[ More like he's seen a lot of movies. ]

I'm gonna let Ruby work some things out for herself first. And then maybe I'll rope you in on helping me decide if Hiro's good enough.

[ She likes Hiro, honestly, she really does, but this is her sister's potential boyfriend. ]

Woohoo! Jaune and Yang are on the case, the ultimate wingman... love, masters, I... I dunno where I was going with that.

... Go, team!!

[ GOOD ENOUGH. ]

I guess.

[It's a flimsy start and a terrible answer. He knows both of these things, and yet, finding a way to articulate it without sounding like he's either lobbying for pity or trying to brush it off entirely is difficult. His heart might as well be sewn out on his sleeve, sure enough, but tact is another thing entirely.]

Didn't feel anything after a while, if that makes it any better?

[Which is also a duh answer, considering the outcome of that whole catastrophe.]

Everyone else was--you were okay, right? Worth it, however it felt, if no one else had to deal with it.

[Even if nothing in that explains just how he's even having this conversation when he should be very, very not present. Still, he's starting to look about as worn as he sounds, and the optimistic sincerity that would usually make such a sentiment easier to swallow by virtue of how ridiculous it sounded has started to fade.]

W-Well? I can't say anyone has had it as bad as you, so that's... good, right? A-And you're back now, so... y'know, happy ending and all!

[The text comes late at night because Kaoru has gone off ~~to explode~~ on a journey of self-discovery and she doesn't know who else to talk to.]

hey
are you awake

[ He's been really sick lately (thank you event) but he always has time for Shiho, even if he wasn't awake. ]

[Don't reply to her when you're sick, Jaune Arc.]

[Unfortunately for her, she's perfectly healthy....]
