"A team..." Weiss repeated Ruby's words as she scooped some flour from the box. "I know I was the only one with a problem between the two of us, and I'm glad that's settled, but Yang and Blake—"
She folded her arms and a bit of flour ended up on her elbows.
"They're obviously not okay," she said. She looked displeased.
[ Ruby knows Yang better than anyone else. Maybe even better than she knows herself. She wouldn't take kindly to someone else trying to repair her relationship or fixing how she feels. That's something she's going to have to decide to do on her own. ]
I wish we could do something about it, but that wouldn't be right, would it? We can't change how Blake and Yang feel just like that. They have to want things to get better first.
[ It's sort of sweet, that Wiess readily says she will follow Ruby's lead on this. She just hopes her trust is not misplaced. Ruby tries to help her friends however she can, but this...is new territory. She's never really had to referee feelings like this. ]
No...not exactly. I think we should talk to them about it, but not at the same time. Just to...see what they're feeling.
...Maybe I can talk to Blake, and you can talk to Yang?
[ Usually she would try to talk to both of them, but since Weiss was the one who brought it up, Ruby doesn't want to cut her out of it. Besides, it might give her a way to strengthen her relationship with Yang if she's the one to talk to her. ]
[ She doesn't want to get into a fight with Yang, though. . . Not that it's happened, but who knows how Yang would react if Weiss brought up the issue with Blake.
It's why she looks pretty unsure with Ruby's suggestion, but the hesitance only lasts for a few seconds. In the end, her trust in Ruby wins over whatever apprehensions she has. ]
[ That's good enough for her. And maybe things won't quite go according to plan, but...Ruby believes in her team. Eventually, things will feel right again. They just have to figure out how to get there. ]
Okey-dokey! ...Can we still call it a Blake Cake?
[ It's a catchy name! Try saying it out loud five times fast. ]

[ She just wants to try baking something! ]
Those were also two separate questions.
[ She takes out the necessary ingredients from the cupboard and the fridge, checking out the recipe book every time she brings something out. ]

Oh! Well...Blake's great! Now that she's here, I finally feel like we're really getting our rhythm back as a team.
[ She pulls out some mixing bowls and spoons. ]

[ She purposely doesn't look at Ruby as she asks that, more keen on the bag of sugar in front of her. ]
Yang and Blake aren't acting the way they used to.
no subject
Well. They were all back together at last - shouldn't they be focusing on that? ]
...No, they aren't. But...a lot has changed since the last time we were all together.

[ About "them" is more of what she means, but she can't bring herself to say it out loud. ]
I know Blake feels really bad, and Yang feels betrayed and alone. . . It would be nice to make the tension go away.

[ For once, there's no accusatory tone in her voice. She's legitimately curious—almost helplessly so—if this is what Ruby intends to do. ]
Because if you say so, I'll do it.

Alright. I can talk to Yang about it.
[ It's crooked, but she gives Ruby a smile. ]
Let's get to making that cake, shall we?
i have to go drop now
