RWBY Episode 6 spoilers

[monkeystowaway]

Why are you still so amused by my formal shirt, mun? What do you mean I could have tried harder? I don't see how it is one step up from this. I wore a nice shirt and a neck trap, didn't I? Then that is good enough. I will never get how Neptune wears them all the time.

The biggest take away from the night was Blake. She looks like she is doing better. And did you see how gorgeous she looked in her dress? So glad I didn't just skip out on the entire thing.

[shotpun]

You did good, Sun.

You did good.

[monkeystowaway]

In what? Picking out my clothes for the evening?

[shotpun]

Oh, for sure. Black and tie totally counts as "black tie."

[ she laughs a little, shaking her head. ]

But also how good you were to Blake. She looked like she was having a lot of fun.

[monkeystowaway]

See? Now I just need to convince my mun of that.

[He even buttoned his shirt too.]

You are the one that should be congratulated. You got a Grumpy friend out of her funk and got her to rest and go to the dance. You're a miracle worker, Yang.

[shotpun]

They'll come around.

[ but yeah, she'll go ahead and puff up a bit now because, damn, she is good isn't she. ]

What can I say, I know how to work 'em. [ cue time for a shmoozy smirk...


annnnd then she's dropping it for a much more sincere grin. ]

Nah, it was nothing. Sometimes you just gotta know when to hit a little harder.

[monkeystowaway]

Well I'm glad you knew just what to do. Truthfully I had my doubts about you getting her there. Not because I have any doubts in your skills, but because Blake seemed deadset against go. [But she was there, and that's all that mattered.]

By the way, you really look pretty in your dress.

[shotpun]

Have a little faith, Sun. [ she'll go ahead and rest her hand on your shoulder. ] She's not my partner for nothing.

And — thanks! [ a gently ribbing with her elbow. ] Told you I'd turn heads~

[ruby_roses]

At least your neck trap doesn't feel like it's actively trying to kill you.

...like lady-stilts.

[monkeystowaway]

[Lady-stilts. That's a good way to think about them. He tries not to laugh, but he ends up snickering a bit.]

I don't know. It might try to at least once before the night is out. You should have just worn your boots with the dress.

[ruby_roses]

Believe me, I tried. Weiss had a fit. Do you have ANY idea how hard it was to walk down ALL THOSE STAIRS from the dorm to the dance with those death traps on my feet?

[monkeystowaway]

Let me guess, it's one of the most challenging things that you have done in your life? [Ruby kind of looked like a new born deer trying to walk for the first time in those things.]

[broseidon]

I knew it'd all work out with Blake, dude.

[monkeystowaway]

And just how did you know? I didn't think anything could defeat Blake's grumpiness.

[broseidon]

Just call it a hunch, man. Now don't mess it up by tripping over yourself on the dance floor or anything.

[ joking! he's joking. ]

[monkeystowaway]

Dude, don't jinx me. [He doesn't need to look clumsy in front of Blake!] If I do fall, I will find some way to fall on the table with the punch bowl and launch it at you.

[deadly_belladonna]

It wasn't exactly a formal attire but- I don't think I could really see you in anything else. I guess the black shirt just helped pull it off huh?

[She's not touching the second part because it's a little embarrassing still. She's not used to getting dressed up.]

[monkeystowaway]

[He thinks it suits you well. You just have no idea, Blake.]

Yeah. I don't think that tie would have worked all that well with my white shirt, either.

Speaking of the tie. Do you really think I look cuter with it or were you just joking?

[deadly_belladonna]

Mm probably not. You could of always taken Neptune's black tie if it came down to it. But the black shirt was a nice touch.

Of course I did. Besides, you said something akin to that on our first official meeting. It just- felt right to say.

[monkeystowaway]

I guess I could have. But he might have took that as a sign that I want to dress more like him and go crazy with it.

Yeah. I remember. I still stand by what I said then, too. But don't expect to see me with one on too often.

[deadly_belladonna]

Mm true. I don't think you'd look as formal with just the white shirt and black tie. The combination you had worked rather well.

[Laughs gently behind her hand.] Of course not; special occasions only.

[monkeystowaway]

Well I'm glad you liked it. And that you are having a good time. I like seeing you happy, Blake.

Exactly. Hopefully too many of those won't come up.

[deadly_belladonna]

Well, it's mostly my way of apologizing for being- as you said "all Blake-y". Yang really did beat a bit of common sense in to me.

Really not that fond of ties, are you?

[gamboling]

I still standby at what I said.
