"Yes, we did. It was a near thing, though. I assume you also ran into all those Grimm?" They hadn't had Jaune there to amplify Ren's semblance, so it had been a tough fight. Pyrrha had helped where she could by uncoupling the train cars and making them go faster with her magnetism. Her and Ren had exhausted themselves with Nora defending from any Grimm that caught up - but it was very, very close. "I just wonder if there are significant diverges. In the details...very interesting."

The mention of Atlas, their dire need to get there and their utter inability to do so had Pyrrha shifting uncomfortably, shamed blush high in her cheeks. She didn't like the idea of breaking the law for the greater good (what made her qualified to decide that? What made Ozpin?). Pyrrha averts her eyes as she admits to it, but she does admit to it. "We're using Weiss as bait. I'm to escort her to the base and distract the guards with my Mistral champion status. We reckon they'll be too starstruck to question Weiss properly. Ruby will hide in her suitcase and they'll hijack the aircraft."

After Weiss' long recovery from Cinder's attack, the girls had all been a lot clingier - for good reason. Weiss had adamently refused to be entirely separated from the group the way the plan required, and Pyrrha didn't blame her - she'd been on her own, away from her team, her partner, once, and they all knew how that ended. It's how Ruby convinced her to separate on the train - as much as she didn't want to leave team RWBY, she was even less willing to leave Ren and Nora. "And yourself? What's your plan?"

It's a valiant effort to stifle the laughter, but not entirely successful. It feels good, makes her heart light, to talk and joke like this. "I'll never forget the look on your face when you found out I was. It's...not a particularly healthy cereal, I have to say. I've no idea why they have athletes promoting it."

Pyrrha takes out her scroll obligingly, scooting a little closer when Jaune sits down next to her, letting their sides press together. She's less shy than she was before - what's the point, when it can all be taken in an instant? Her eyes widen when Jaune manages to cast a memory onto her scroll, and she watches in fascination as he gets his new armor and Ruby loses it. She...doesn't remember making Ruby laugh that hard, and it's a rare and beautiful thing. Of course Jaune would be able to do that - what couldn't he do?

"I always meant to get you a new one." Pyrrha says absently, smile still amused at the edges of her mouth. "I thought...maybe for Christmas. Something with Nora's face on it, I think Nora, Ren, and I talked about it."
