[ He understands what she means, to an extent, having seen how formidable she is when she is in control. It's a daunting thought...
With the crowd still forcing them to be glued to each other, he tries to shift so he can face her instead of the penguins, but someone from behind only makes him press up further against her. Augh!! ]
I-- sorry. --you... you don't have to worry about that with us.
[ ?!? ]
W-What I mean is... you'll never frighten Ren, Nora... me... especially not me.
[ It could be reassuring, what he says, but -- Pyrrha has to force herself to read between the lines to find the reassurance in it. Jaune, who claims he'll never be frightened of her despite the fact that this, this change, it really ought to be scary for both of them. Jaune, who starts to say things and then stops, whereas when it came to Weiss, he had never been quiet.
He's the same person who is now, finally, complimenting her intelligence and showing interest in her fears, her perspective, her existence.
Truthfully, part of Pyrrha would like to be past all these things, this song and dance.
That has little to do with what he's saying now, however. She wills herself to focus, even as Jaune is further pressed up against her by the crowd.
[ Stop comparing yourself to Weiss, you idiot! ...is what he could say, if both of them actually talked about these things.
But the chance to focus on the rapport they have is shelved in lieu of changing the scenery, and Jaune complies with a sigh. Maybe going someplace else will be good! Maybe he can recover from his own awkward failure.
[ She can't help it! Part of her struggles to accept the fact that Jaune had so easily turned off that part of his heart. To her, it seems unlikely, if not downright improbable.
When Jaune gives her an opening, though, Pyrrha takes it. ]
We could go see the sharks.
[ she wants to see the sharks!! ]
... or --
[ Trailing off, she reconsiders the second suggestion before she even gets the words out. ]

A smile, or something like it. ]
... perhaps we should move to another floor.

C'mon, Arc, keep it together. ]

[ No, please finish that!! Whatever it is, it can't be scarier than being up close with a shark, he thinks. ]

Lunch?
[ Having her emotions toyed with works up an appetite, apparently!! ]
