"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]"

Oh, I thought a certain someone might've been stupid enough to--

[ TAKING THAT MILKSHAKE. ]

Actually not be okay. But it looks like he really wants to get hurt, anyway.

action;

[beaconed]

W-Well, when you give him a look like that, it's safe to say he probably learned his lesson, hahaha...

Whoever he is........

action;

[flaredo]

Seriously-- can you not almost give me a heart attack?

[ SLURP. ]

action;

[beaconed]

It seemed funny at the time... B-Besides, I don't need babysitting! [ Yes he does. ]

action;

[flaredo]

Just wanted to make sure! You weren't the only person trying to jump off a bridge, but it looks like things are finally calming down again.

action;

[beaconed]

Man, that was pretty intense, huh? What about you? Chasing after idiots like me the whole time, it must've been exhausting.

[ In some ways, probably worse for Yang, he thinks. ]

action;

[flaredo]

It was. I'm totally okay with not doing it again until next year.

[ And then lugging Hiro the Unintentional Coward home... ]

action;

[beaconed]

You can say that again. And guess what! I cleaned up your mess, too!

That guy from the library? You don't have to worry about him telling everyone or getting the wrong idea!

action;

[flaredo]

Guy... which guy?

[ She'd already talked to Yuri... ]

action;

[beaconed]

.....

[ ...... ]

.........Yang?

H-How many guys did you... "suffocate machine"? [ Thank you for that new term, Yata. ]

action;

[flaredo]

S-- what?! I'm pretty sure I didn't suffocate anyone!

[ NO ONE HAD DIED, SHE'S SURE OF IT. ]

action;

[beaconed]

His words, not mine! Some short kid with a beanie? Skateboard? Said you gave him a show.

action;

[flaredo]

Yata? I hugged him!

[ Purple prose-y style, but still! ]

action;

[beaconed]

Oh, is that all that happened? [ He looks relieved since that's more innocent. Yata sure painted a different picture about it... ]

...Still, I didn't realize there were more victims. Sheesh, you were busy!

action;

[flaredo]

I wasn't-- okay, look, I really wasn't myself...

action;

[beaconed]

Yeah, that part's obvious... [ Yang already explained that much, not that she owed him one in the first place. ]

"Not Being Myself" seems to be the theme for this month, doesn't it?

action;

[flaredo]

Yeah, unfortunately. That's the kind of thing I can't stand the most... when we can't even be in our right minds.

action;

[beaconed]

Yeah, well, I always said don't trust a book by... don't trust books. [ He never said that. ]

So are we good now? Not mad at me anymore?

action;

[flaredo]

Miiiildly irritated, but not mad.

[ She has a milkshake now. ]

action;

[beaconed]

Gotta take the small victories, I guess...

action;

[flaredo]

So you came all this way to bring me a milkshake and almost give me a heart attack?

action;

[beaconed]

[ He almost looks actually offended, but he's not really. It's just Jaune being Jaune. ]

Oh yeah? Have I run out of reasons to see you now? I'm sorry I'm not going through any crisis at the moment!

action;

[flaredo]

You were about to, though.

[ THE CRISIS OF ALMOST GETTING TACKLED BY A FURIOUS XIAO LONG. ]
