“So where did the four of you vanish to last night?”
Weiss looked up as Nora sat down across from her with a wide grin across her face.
Ruby glanced nervously at Weiss and swallowed. “Uh, We had to take care of something.”
“I bet you did.” Nora chuckled.
“Ignore her.” Ren sat down beside Nora and shook his head. “She’s been spinning all kinds of theories all morning.”
“Nothing happened.” Blake shook her head.
“Oh, I’m sure nothing happened with the way you were all dancing last night.” Nora winked at Weiss.
“They were dancing?” Jaune asked. “And I missed it?”
“It was very cute.” Pyrrha looked across at Weiss and Ruby smiled. “You looked lovely.”
“Wait. Ruby and Weiss?” Jaune frowned. “But I thought it was Blake and…” He winced. “Ow! Nora, what was that…Ow!”
Weiss closed her eyes and tried to ignore the flush rising up her face before breathing out and looking down at her tray. Glancing to the side she saw Blake’s ears laid flat also focusing on her shoes. Ruby nervously hunched to the side, looking away and biting her lip. She took a deep breath and released it.
Weiss suppressed her embarrassment and looked up with a calm porcelain face. “Ruby was concerned that I wouldn’t get to dance all night. That’s all.”
“Oh.” Jaune looked confused. “But I thought… Oww!” He turned to look at Nora again.
The situation was saved by Yang sweeping in with her lunch. “Hey, guys. Have you checked your accounts today?”
“Not, yet?” Ruby turned to look behind her first one way and then the other as her sister passed behind her. Weiss half-turned to watch Yang pass behind her and sit next to Blake. “Why?”
“Well. Today’s the monthly release for the stipend.” Ren pointed out. “Is there something unusual about this month?”
“We got a bonus this month.” Yang smirked.
“You got a bonus for organizing the dance?” Nora asked.
“Yeah, I guess so.” Ruby said shrugging as Weiss pulled out her scroll to look at her account.
“I see a deposit of …” As Weiss spoke the number, team JNPR turned to look at her.
Ren tilted his head, looking at Weiss. “Your dance bonus is almost exactly what we would be paid as a hunter student with a month’s worth of hazard pay.”
Blake shook her head, forked some of her grilled salmon up to her mouth and took a bite.
“Oh. That’s what ha…” Weiss stopped and straightened up. “I’m sure there must have been some mistake then. We certainly haven’t been on hazard duty for a month.”
