[ Clearly fully attentive, Ruby leans forward to inhale the sweet scent of baked magic cooling on the rack before prodding one with a fingertip. They're still a bit hot, perhaps, but they smell soooo good she might just have to risk a burned tongue for it. ]
[ On the one hand, Yang and Weiss talking about their kiss is probably waaaaay overdue. Briarlan was sooo long ago! Ruby had just assumed they figured things out already and had decided not to do anything about it.
[ ...After what seems an eternity of Ruby staring quizzically at her sister, piecing it all together in her head, she...
Erupts into laughter. ]
You - Weiss - Freezerburn! Hehehe -
[ There's just something so unexpected about it, but it feels...right, too. Yang is her sister, Weiss her partner, her two favorite people in the whole wide world. What's not to like about them trying to make each other happier like this?
So even though she still convulses with laughter, Ruby steps closer to Yang and pulls her into a bear hug. ]
[That staring was just starting to make Yang nervous, like maaaaybe Ruby's concerned this will mess up the team dynamics somehow or any other possible reason Ruby could have trouble responding to this, but with that laughter comes an almost instant wave of relief for Yang.
The hug is a bit of a surprise but a very welcome one and Yang hugs her tightly right back.]
Thanks, I... [A pause as she tries to find her words, she's getting a little choked up here.] ...I'm really glad. It means a lot to me.
[Ruby's the most important person in the world to her so for Ruby to be happy about this was a big deal.]
[ Of course Ruby is happy about it. Yang has a big, warm heart, but she's been hurt so much because of it. That she should choose to share it with Weiss is a big deal, and if there's anyone Ruby would trust with her sister's feelings, it's Weiss. ]
You guys deserve it. [ They absolutely do, and with a final squeeze, Ruby takes a half-step back. ] But if Weiss gives you any trouble...you just let me know, okay?

About kissing her, Cookie Fiend.
[She giggles and puts the now emptied baking sheet aside to be wiped down later, turning to Ruby fully with a warm smile.]
...We're gonna try dating a little and see where it goes.
[Her tone is surprisingly bashful, like Yang still can't believe that this is a thing that actually happened.]

Oh, Yang, I'm so happy for you two!!
Bless you Ruby XD

But then she hums a warm laugh, giving a nod and a smile.]
You'll be the first, I promise.
[Protective Little Sis Mode is adorable and also very much appreciated.]

[ And with that settled...Ruby's attention turns back to the cookies, of course. ]
Sooooo, how many of these do you think I can eat without getting sick?
no subject
Based on past experience? At least a dozen.
[And then she grins lop-sidedly.]
The better question is...how many are you allowed to have?

[ ...In an hour or so, she will probably regret it. ]

Alright. I guess since you're technically a world-saving adult now, you're old enough to know your limits.
[She says in her best facsimile of their dad's parental tone.
Turning aside, she waves her hand invitingly at the now mostly cooled, fresh tray of cookies.]
Have at.
[She'll make sure she has some calcium chews on hand for later.]
