Two weeks. [ Probably? Man, telling time sure is a challenge when you're not staring at a clock for 24 hours a day. Everything happens so quickly! And so much of it at once!
She sighs; from the dazed expression it's clear her thoughts are elsewhere. ] And - ugh - what does it matter how long we've known each other? I've known him longer than I've known anybody else before. You too. [ Yeah because you've never KNOWN ANYBODY. ]

Since when is knowing everything about someone a prerequisite for caring about them? [ Her trust issues are deeply impaired in one sense, yes. But miraculously they don't inform her ability to reach out to others. Much like Jaune, she's channeled her fear of rejection into manic friendliness rather than frostiness. ]

And - honestly? I'd be more worried if I didn't like him. Jaune's a great guy, Weiss. I get the feeling people decide on their opinions about him before ever getting to know who he actually is.

[WERE YOU NOT PAYING ATTENTION. Actually she just kind of hears "Jaune" and anything romantic and kind of tunes it out.]

I... No, it's just– He...
That's what I called you to ask about.
