"I hear that. Think I'll spend some time doing the same." Yang mused, giving a little wave. "A'aight, Sveta. Take it easy, okay? Don't be a stranger and all that good stuff. I enjoy having you around." She winked quickly to Sveta just as she was on her way out the door. Yang paused, giving it about two minutes from the time to door closed and before she moved. Once those two minutes had passed, it was like Yang was a deflating balloon, her entire body slumping onto the couch as she sighed heavily.<br/><br/>"You okay, sis?" Ruby mused, sitting down next to her sister.<br/><br/>"Yeah, Ruby just..." She sighed again, running a hand through her hair. "Stressed."<br/><br/>"Funny, that. Sveta used to destress you. Something about 'keeping the shit in perspective'?" Yang nodded her head.<br/><br/>"And she still does, trust me. But it's..." She looked to Ruby, her big, goofy doe-eyes boring holes into her skull. "...why am I talking to you about this?"<br/><br/>"Because if there's one thing I know, it's when someone's hidin' their feelin's." A slight pause. "This'll be the only time I'll ever admit to this, kay?" Yang nodded. "But I am freakin' head-over-heels for Wiess... you know that." Again, Yang nodded. "You can see how obviously in love with her I am." Again, a nod. Ruby reached out and pinched both of Yang's cheeks, scrunching her mouth up, the whispering: "Why do you think I can't see how head-over-heels for Sveta you are?" She released her sister and leaned back in that care free manner she always did. "Look, I know I'm not old enough to drink, smoke, do the thing or drink-"<br/><br/>"You said drink twice." Yang interjected.<br/><br/>"Because I really want to be able to drink, that's not the point." Ruby cut in. "I may not be old enough to do all that... but I still know a thing or two, kay? I know my way around the internet. So I- am going to do you a favor. You gots this convention comin' up, I gets that... but that's still a week away, right? So, I'mma do you a flavah."<br/><br/>"I get nervous when you do me 'favors', Ruby."<br/><br/>"Nah, this is straight, trust me." A pause. "...well technically not because it's two girls but NOT THE POINT!" She inhaled. "Go take a nice, long bath. I require a computer, the internet, and an hour of solitude."<br/><br/>"You know... part of me wants to put the brakes on this right now and say no, hell no, and hell fucking no... but the other half of me is morbidly interested to see what you've got planned... so I'm going to go take a bath."<br/><br/>"There you go! Be a rebel! Baby Sistah is gonna fix you ALL UP BABEH!" She shot straight up and took Yang's hand. "Go, bath, now."<br/><br/>"Aw, come on, don't I get to see what you're doing?"<br/><br/>"Nnnnnope!" Ruby - despite her comparitively diminutive form - was able to push the only half-unwilling Yang into the bathroom so she could set her sister up with something... and all gathered trembled at that phrase.<br/><br/>Okay, so Yang<em>did</em>technically just have a shower, but baths and showers weren't quite in the same vein. Yes, they were both very viable ways to get one's body clean... but baths just... had that added bonus of being able to just...<em>soak</em>. To just watch your worries and your concerns fade into steam. Yang drew herself up a nice, warm back and - after removing and hanging up her clothes, she slipped into the water. Her bathroom was decent size, a large tub with a high-volume faucet attached, sitting down in that felt like sitting down in a stream and letting the natural current wash over you. Water to her chest, she leaned back into the tub and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she cleared her head. She knew Ruby was probably doing all sorts of goofy, silly things to sabotage whatever chance Yang might have with her but... really when everything boiled down to it's base components, Yang didn't think Ruby could mess it up bad enough ruin their friendship. Hopefully. How much damage could Ruby do in an hour?<br/><br/>"Hello, yes, my name is Ruby Rose..." Ruby spoke to someone over the phone. "I'd like to make a dinner reservation at seven pm on... fheck what day is next tuesday?" A pause. "Oh! Hey, thanks. Yeah, next Tuesday. Uh, no, it'll actually be under Xiao Long." A pause. "Xiao Long. Capital X-I-A-O click-a dat space bar, capital L to the O to the N to the G. Mmm hmm. Blonde hair, huge tits, trust me, can't miss her." Ruby flipped the card over in her hands. "How much to buy out the whole restaurant?" A pause. "I'll wait." A nod as a few moments passed. "Shit, only that? Yeah, do that then." She stuck her tongue out as this processed. "Yep, it'll be card." She quickly ran off the number of the card in her hand. "Dat's true. Thank you! They will see you then, then." Hanging up the phone, Ruby turned the card over, a smile plastered on her face as she looked at the owner of the card. She hugged it to her chest and grinned stupidly. "...thanks sister... I promise I won't fail Yang like I failed you..."
