ruby come quick the weapon store by the fountain is having a sale all stock must go!! check it out im holding a flamethrower
[ Jaune sends a selfie of him awkwardly holding the weapon with one arm while the other one is trying to take a picture. Sadly, he doesn't realize he's pointing it at himself, so... hopefully he's not going to live up to his namesake. ]
umm. yes. its the one that shoots fire and its color is red
[ That's... all he can tell her, lmao. But in any case, by the time Ruby finds the store, she'll see Jaune holding a different weapon now - a pickaxe that can also be a crossbow! ]
[ Jaune turns around, beaming right back at her. Truthfully, he was just looking for an excuse to hang out and knows Ruby well enough that she'll appreciate it being in a... place like this. ]
What? -- N-No! I'm-- Ruby, I wasn't gonna buy the flamethrower! Heh, me and fire, can you imagine?
Anyway, whatcha looking at instead? [He is quite right that she's 100% intrigued by this, and it's admittedly a nice break from... well, the tenseness of Cerealia right now.]
Eh, I'm just window shopping. Doesn't hurt to know what I could be fighting against someday, y'know?
[ Not that... he's enthusiastic about fighting fellow warriors in particular, but sadly it's a reality. He hands her the weird crossbow/pickaxe to look over. ]

Either way, she'll go ahead and make her way over there, and she beams at him and then--
Pauses.
Er.]
Jaune... I hate to break it to you but, uh...that's not a flamethrower. And also it's not red.

[It's a flamethrower, what's not to love.]
... But yeah I can kinda imagine. Good point.

Doesn't this look like something from Remnant?
no subject
[She'll accept it, cocking it almost too expertly, peering at it thoughtfully. Weapons.]
This is pretty cool. Look, you could bash a Grimm's head in with the pick and then shoot the next one behind it!
It's perfect. [Calm your excitement, Ruby.]

[ To another nearby customer who's staring at both of them: ] Whiiiich we're not! Move along, Sir!!
